If somebody wants to throw away good money on brain bubble gum, more power to them. I just think there's other great stories out there they could make into movies, but because those stories don't already have a guaranteed audience, they will never see the light of day. Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.

Did you know your screen name is also the name of a Transformer?

Well, look at it this way. When I was 6 years old, there were two people in the world who I looked up to. The first was Ronald Reagan. The second? Optimus Prime. A cartoon character, I know, but for a fictional character, he was a hell of a hero (I've sometimes wondered if Todd Beamer from Flight 93 watched Transformers when he was younger, too, since Optimus Prime frequently said "Let's roll"). From what I understand, the actor played him as a combination of Captain America and John Wayne. I don't think it was a coincidence that I looked up to both Optimus Prime AND Ronald Reagan. It'd do kids today some good to see a hero like that, so long as he's portrayed as he was in the 80's.
Plenty of good stories to be told, yeah, but that doesn't mean that this one can't be told, either.
BTW: The Once and Future King is an example of a great story that needs to be made on film, and from what I've heard, it IS gonna become a movie. I am SO looking forward to that one!
