Adam Sandler's Fake Movies Should Send A Clear Message To Hollywood: No.

Similar to Ben Stiller's fake movies from Tropic Thunder, Judd Apatow has created a gaggle of science fiction comedies fake actor George Simmons has starred in, including a Mer-man epic, somewhere out there a screenwriter is crying.

Adam Sandler's fake comedian George Simmons appears in the latest Judd Apatow film, Funny People. I'm a fan of fake movies-within-movies, if only to tell people that their clever idea about a slacker janitor accidentally getting launched into space, is a bad idea — a BAD IDEA. Let this be a message to Hollywood, if there was any doubt that Little Man 2 is a crap idea, simply consult these posters. They're making fun of it for a reason.

Brad Pitt As Lion-O, Hugh Jackman As Tygra? This Is A Live Action ThunderCats I Support

It's only a matter of time before there's a ThunderCats movie. So do it right, Hollywood — as imagined in this trailer with Pitt, Jackman... and Vin Diesel as Panthro.

This fake trailer from Wormy T is raising the bar pretty high on a ThunderCats movie, but dream a little dream with me. Wouldn't Pitt Be wonderful as Lion-O? Excellent job on the fake trailer, let's hope it convinces someone other than Tyrese Gibson into campaigning harder for this movie.

But remember, there have been rumors, and cat model heads leaked into the press, that seem to tell us it's not time to give up hope yet.

There have been other fake live-action ThunderCats trailers, but none so great as to actually Cat-ize Vin Diesel.
