This is an open letter to Hollywood movie producers, studios, directors and anyone else out to inadvertently ruin the cartoons, video games & toys that I grew up with by creating and releasing terrible films. Stop. Just stop it already. There are tons of talented screenwriters out there that have written some great original work. Give them a chance. You’ll spend less and you’ll no longer be destroying the building blocks of my childhood entertainment. I think I speak for most of my generation (somewhere between generation X and generation Y) in this regard.

Hollywood, I understand that you have optioned at some point a Thundercats CGI live-action movie. I first read the news a couple years ago, but now it seems that this movie is slated for 2010 and is currently on hold. I implore you, do not destroy this honorable franchise with some over the top action movie that makes no sense and loses the focus of the original cartoon. Lion-O deserves better than to be mangled on screen in some sort of twisting of the Thundercats struggle to be a family and fight the annoyingly cunning Mum-ra. I think you recently learned that lesson with the horrendous crap fest that was Speed Racer.

Amen! Hollywood seems just as OK with letting Bollywood take over as the Movie innovators of the world as Obama seems with letting China take the preeminence of the US economy away.
