For the last time, Hollywood is not trying to rape people's childhood memories.  They're experimenting with source material.  You keep up this cynical attitude towards Hollywood and I'm asking HeadRazzberry to 86 you.

No, it'll just royally piss people off as Hollywood continues to rape their childhood memories. I think I might add cartoon adaptations as the unofficial 5th movie horseman (or at least add "especially if it's based on a cartoon series, video game, or toyline" in the put about unwanted adaptations).

Miguel, where did you learn to be such a Pollyanna?  BHB is closer to the truth than you are.

Actually, Miguel, it's called "you're in denial!" Hollywood has no original source material, so they are just going back in time and making movies of whatever was popular 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago, hoping they can cash in on pre-existing audiences and fan bases. And those fan bases are disappointed time and time again because these movies aren't loyal to the source material and come across as something alien to what they remember original being like. But you just don't get it, do you?
 
By any chance, are you a spin doctor for a studio or something? That would explain your on-going defending of Hollywood's rapings of people's childhood memories.

I found a parody of an ending to Yogi Bear on YouTube.

Yogi Bear is going up against Tron, which is getting better reviews on RT. I feel Tron will win The Weekend, and Yogi will come in second because Parents with little kids will take them to see Yogi...

Oh "Tron" is going to blow EVERYTHING away at the box office. It will be this year's "Avatar!"

It's going to need some serious positive reviews to back it up then.

Oh, I'm not talking about quality filmmaking, I'm talking about just hours upon hours of beautiful CGI that will result in a huge box office take.

In response to Miguel's post (see below):  

Point 1: Correct...the Mayans did not predict the end of the world. The year 2012 simply marks the end of one of their temporal cycles, and they never got around to creating another calendar.
 
Point 2: It is a bit of a stretch to contend that Nostradumbsh*t "predicted" anything. He wrote a number of long winded, virtually meaningless "quatrains" that are so vague and frankly open to interpretation that clever devotees have managed to apply them to just about everything that happens. There is also considerable evidence that when Nosty's predictions don't match expectations, his followers simply retranslate his work. I'm not aware of any specific predictions he ever made about the actual end of the world, but any reasonably intelligent study of his writings demonstrate that the guy basically did for bullsh*t what the Grand Canyon did for holes in the ground.

saturnwatcher, I'm guessing you were always the guy in the audience during a magic act who would yell out how the magician was doing the tricks.

Busted!  Actually though, there is a rather interesting and close alliance between the scientific community and magicians. It is an alliance that has spawned numerous skeptic organizations, including the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). Scientists realized early on that we can be fooled as easily as the average guy on the street, but magicians are harder to fool. They can also spot how charlatans pull their gags easier too. Magicians are invaluable in paranormal investigations.

The great magician Houdini specialized in that.  I recall hearing that Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a spiritualist when he wasn't writing, would bring Houdini to mediums and such that Doyle believed were real, and Houdini busted every single one of them.

Indeed...Houdini was one of the pioneers. These days we have James Randi (The Amazing Randi), Penn and Teller and others.

Funny you should mention magic and investigations, because there have been many cases in which police have brought in psychics to help them with unsolved mysteries, which would sometimes lead to the case being solved. But then you could then debate that like with the USA Network series "Psych", it could be that the so-called "psychic" just has a better eye for details and clues at the crime scene than the police do.

CSICOP has done extensive investigation into the claims that police departments have used psychics in their investigations. Psychics love to publicize the claim, but as far as I am aware, there isn't a single case in which the police have ultimately credited psychics with providing information that definitively led to a case being solved. Typically, psychics fail to provide any important information that hasn't already been made available to the public or that they could not have gathered from cold readings when discussing the case with investigating officers.

I really don't count Houdini as a magician. For that matter, I don't count any escape artist as a magician. Magicians do illusions using trick props and slight of hand. Escape artists deal with being able to not panic under pressure and slip their way out of locks an traps that could result in their death. Hence, David Blaine ... NOT a magician, or escape artist for that matter.
