More retreads from Hollywood.
Who will be the tranny?
I really hope they don’t do something as tacky as Jean-Jacques Annaud did in Quest For Fire, and “Baby Puss” is played by a tame mountain lion with fake, plastic sabers glued into his muzzle.
(although to be fair to Annaud, it was 1981, after all, and CGI was still somewhere between Empire Strikes Back and TRON)
I don’t know why but thinking of Mr Slate doinking the interns is just cracking me right up.
And I bet Wilma spends extra time with that teenage paper boy....
I learned to enjoy the smooth taste of Winston cigarette smoke from Fred and Barney.
I can’t stop laughing. Great post -and thread.
Best expression ever gotten from the flintstones:
“Sliding down the dinosaur” when it’s time to leave work. As in “I’ll call you back tomorrow, I’m sliding down the dinosaur”
and you just knew Jane Jetson was a complete tiger
They are literally out of ideas.
they are going to sully that too...like everything else they touch.
What’s next....the Jetsons?
They have to homogenize the races and genders.
There are lots of ideas, but when the bean counters who really run things do the math, they figure they're better off spending the same amount of money to make something that has name recognition and at least something of a built-in audience rather than something that nobody knows what it is, requiring you to spend more marketing money.
bam bam as a trans dancing for the guys down at the quarry as they toss him rocks shaped as coins
barnie and betty convert to islam so betty now wears a burka
wilma leaves fred for a woman and fred turns into a white supremacist
Back when the show first was on TV, I don’t think the kids had been born yet—they came later. Wasn’t the Flintstones just a kinder, gentler version of “The Honeymooners” (with dinosaurs)?
No. Rosie the robot maid. Wax and vacuum features. You have no idea.
It’s really more about shrinking profit margins. Fallow properties aren’t earning their keep. In the end Flinstones is just a family sitcom (basically The Honeymooners). There’s a million ideas for family sitcoms. The difference between making it a Flinstones reboot, a Happy Days reboot, or a new property is all a matter of decor.
Oh great, more lame and gratuitous penis jokes.
How “Ed-gy”.
The FlintBones
Season ending cliffhanger.
Oh Jeeze, they’re completely bereft of creativity.
Uh huh, right?
Betty Rubble was played by Rosie O'Donnel in the last live action reboot, if I remember correctly. Does that qualify as 'hot' to you?
