VT 1010 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) View-Master?! Asteroids is one thing, but f'ing View-Master?! I just don't understand Hollywood. Wait, maybe they'll make Slinky and the Coils of Doom next... EDIT: Spelling; It's "View-Master", not Viewmaster.

taksraven Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The best part was the old ad for Viewmaster. They made a point that since Jodie Foster was in the ad, she could be in the film. To hell with that I say, dig up Henry Fonda and put him in the film. His "acting" would still be less wooden than Fosters! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5QGd-0X3bg...player_embedded Taksraven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 you know, now that I think about it this isn't nearly as utterly retarded as it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermillion21 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 WTF is right ... the plot is probably something along the lines of Jumanji or Zanthura ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Why does hollywood beat around the bush, when the perfect movie idea is right under their noses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gubaba Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Why does hollywood beat around the bush, when the perfect movie idea is right under their noses! Might as well make a live-action Kidd Video movie while they're at it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 When I was a kid, I seldom used to use my Viewmaster for its intended purpose. Instead, it made a cool if slightly unusual looking spaceship toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 When I was a kid, I seldom used to use my Viewmaster for its intended purpose. Instead, it made a cool if slightly unusual looking spaceship toy. I did that too. It also made a sweet CLANG! when you pulled the frame advance lever and didn't have a disk in it. Perfect for lasers(well, for some warped definition of lasers that made a CLANG! noise)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT 1010 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 It looks like the thread title and subtitle were edited. My original intention was for this thread to encompass all of the crappy Hollywood movies in development that are based on preexisting properties, not just View-Master. I figured it would be better than adding a new thread (at this point) every week for something that won't garner more than a few posts, then enter into obscurity. What do the mods think? I think the NES Zapper had a better Lazer-clang . The View-Master's clang was just awesome on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
