"Michael Eisner and his Tornante Co. have tapped newcomer Mark Hammer to pen a feature adaptation of "Bazooka Joe," the comic strip that comes with Bazooka bubble gum."
OK, people, really, there are still half-decent stories that could be made into movies. Or, you, know, GOD FORBID you make up somethign new.
Bazooka Joe

I admit, I wouldn't challenge an all-male adult version. To me, that makes sense. Who wouldn't want to see 'Bazooka' Joe in action? But this- I mean who cares? Two hours on how he got that eye patch? Why Mort wears his turtleneck OVER his chin? Where he found the dog? And all the dialogue will have to be two or three word sentences.
"Cap'n Crunch and the search for Lucky Charm's Gold" is just around the corner along with "Frankenberry vs Count Chocula" and "Starbucks Coffee:The Motion Picture" to follow. Don't laugh, I am sure a pitch and several meetings have already taken place for them being movies.
What's sad is Hollywood has no interest in making movies based on original ideas. Many think writer's have run out of ideas. Not true. Hollywood is only interested in remakes,sequels, or already produced material to make films on.
those jokes on the wrappers were lame anyway.
I realize they can make anything into a movie (Monopoly by Ridley Scott anyone?), but wow. This is just a bad idea.
Unless they get Matt Damon to play Joe. Then I'd go.

Why can't a pony sing? Because he's a little horse.
I just saw the trailer for G.I. Joe last night. After that, Bazooka Joe seems not only plausible, but attractive.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*crash*
i think it's because they looked at the gi joe trailer and thought, "ok, that does look cool. how can we try to capitalize on that?"

Coming Summer of 2011: Jim Carrey IS the Tidy-Bowl man!
What do you call a deer with no eyes?
No idea. (no eyed deer)
What do you call a fish with no eyes?
Fsh.
i'm really looking forward to that one, joe. they hired jj abrams to re-boot the tidy bowl man for a new generation.
i'm not holding my breath for the cheetah's lament - it looks cheesy.

Hmmm Abrams could have Tidy Bowl Man head for the drain only to find it a wormhole to an alternate reality where toilets are prized for their stains and smells. I'd watch that film.
joemygod! did you totally read that from the spoiler site, dontsqueezethecharmin.com? they said the working title is tidy bowl man: through a browneye stinkly.

If only the internet had some way for me to tell Papa: that post made me laugh out loud.
Meanwhile, I hear Julia Roberts wants to play Mother Nature in a two hour margarine commercial.
