Hollywood is out of ideas

[elfs]

John Woo, the action director famous for Bullet in the Head and the never-to-be-imitated Hardboiled, along with his American action films Broken Arrow and Face Off, has apparently agreed to direct a remake of my favorite homoerotic children's movie featuring a bondage and flagellation scene.

John Glover as Skeletor? I like him but one stiff breeze and he blows away!

Didn't they already make a live action of that?

Yes, and that's the one with the homoerotic S&M scene in it.

So He-Man is the homoerotic analogue of the cute-but-dumb movie blonde?

Sorry, but but for me that movie provoked inopportune giggling. Now, they didn't quite get it right in the movie, but John Steed and Emma Peel...

They ran out of new ideas years ago. Hell, it's not like He-Man was new, not when you already had Gor.

Thanks. Somehow, I'd managed to live my life thus far without having He-Man and Gor linked in my head. Sadly, that blissful age of innocence is now over.

Glad to be of service!

Hmm.. my friends and I assigned each other nicknames from that show (and our teachers got a few too ;) ) in 8th or 9th grade.

Maybe THAT'S my root! :)
