    '...and doing what we need to do to bring the idea to the masses in a way that's going to be relevant today and be something that hasn't been done before...'


    Pitch: Adam is a hairdresser in Santa Monica with a big burly mechanic boyfriend named Manny O'Arms and his lipstick-lesbian friend Teela. Oh, and his cat Scaredy-Pussy.


    A local drag queen, known as Saucer Ass, helps him to manipulate his sword to become He Man, the best darn stripper in town, powerful enough to beat the podium-dancing prowess of those lower east side punks, Man-E-Faced-Bitch and SkullBoy.


    Too much...?

    @crashedpc: That Braak, sure he's all coiled and catlike. Just shake a jar of pennies at him and he'll bolt out of the room.

    Or turn on the vacuum, he hates that.

    @MonkeyT: They don't need to, cuz they're looking for Waldo the whole time! It ends on a cliffhanger where the motley group of plucky youngsters are stranded in a crowded theme park where the bumper cars come alive and there are unfortunately vacuum machine accidents.

    How the hell do you make an Magic 8 Ball movie?


    So the Mattel Robo-Chocobot Movie is not far off then.

    @ManchuCandidate: It's probably 90 minutes of a nervous dude sitting at his desk repeatedly asking the ball "Should I ask her out?" and listening to the negatives while ignoring the positives.

    @ManchuCandidate: It would be pretty dang cool if it was a movie like LA Story. The 8-ball is the voice of some diety out to fuddle with someone's life. Needs Jim Carrey.
