1823What retro toy line would you like to see get the movie treatment?<blockquote rel="shakin steak"><b>shakin steak wrote :</b> It can't be worse than Real Steel (it could.

Thank goodness he is nowhere near the MOTU movie or Godzilla 2014.Vaporman87Apr 24, 2013View

1818What retro toy line would you like to see get the movie treatment?Actually, I could see Chia Pets. I don't know if it would be good, but it could be a workable script. An ancient society discovers how to turn statues into golems by growing plants on them. Thousands of years later, the technique is resurrected. Hilarity and destruction ensue, especially when the Obama golem is invoked. It can't be worse than Real Steel (it could. But when has Hollywood ever cared about quality? Insert tangent about Roger Corman and how he was so much better than Michael Bay, and the unfairness of it all)shakin steakApr 24, 2013View
1817The Graveyard of the UnfinishedI found myself in a similar yet reverse situation. I can't say I was "adamant" about attending art school, but it was something I had just assumed I would do. However, if I was going to do so, it was required of me to first get a degree in something more grounded. You mentioned business... and that is exactly what my major was for the two years I was in college. Personal issues forced me to leave college after two years and go directly into the family business. I had NO social skills equivalent to those needed to be a good furniture salesman. But that's exactly what I became. So I had to learn to talk to people QUICKLY. Other circumstances through the years have led me to where I am now. Some quite unpleasant. But I see now that it was right for me. Looking back on it all really makes it so obvious that it was just what was planned for me, or at least placed there to capture me when I fell. But as you can see, my creative spark didn't die with propane. LOLVaporman87Apr 23, 2013View
1816The Graveyard of the Unfinished<blockquote rel="Vaporman87"><b>Vaporman87 wrote :</b><br>Your interest in playing with sound is unique. I've never heard of that before. Perhaps you had a career with Dolby or Skywalker Sound open to you and didn't even know it. </blockquote> It's not just sound. I also like to play with light and optics and electricity and video...you're right, I could have had a job in something like that. While my interests are wide, my knowledge is not deep. Like Jon in your book, I insisted on going to art school. But my parents were too nice to force me to do something else. Sort of a regret in my life. It was fun, but it was just fun. I got to play for 4 years and now years later I find myself in a pleasant enough, too comfortable, boring job, making just enough money in a dead end. I kind of wanted to go to trade school or something, but my parents were adamant early on that I would go to "real" college. If only I'd had the foresight to go for business or engineering or something. But all that stuff seemed boring and hard! I lacked discipline. I couldn't even hack it in illustration, so I changed majors after first year. It's funny how consequences work. You don't understand them until they punch you in the gut. This might sound kind of depressing but I want to be clear I don't feel negative or bad about this stuff. This thread just made me revisit some realizations I've had.shakin steakApr 23, 2013View
