The comic book guy Plastic Man.
At one point there was plans to do that with Bruce Campbell as Plastic man. I would have loved that.

They could still do it. Not with Bruce Campbell, he's getting like me (potbellied.) That would have been great, though. I loved him in the EVIL DEAD series. The best TV I have seen in decades.

I'm surprised that CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON never got a remake. Not that I wan't one. And no- the fish monster love story that won an Oscar this year don't count. I never seen it. I never will.

I'm also surprised METROPOLIS (1927) has never been remade. I mean- not even close. No one has even tried to try.
Not that I want it to happen (I don't-or maybe just to see it four ways of f**ked by the idiot who made TRANSFORMERS

).

Seeing how badly the Tom Cruise Mummy went I doubt we'll see a standalone Creature From the Black Lagoon remake.

Or the new Frankenstein movie, or the new Dracula movie. These have been out for quite a while. Never seen em? Neither has anyone else. And these were big budget movies. And we all know how the Del Torio Wolfman movie was. It sucked. Del Torio is a great actor. Don't get me wrong. But the movie sucked.
They're trying-clawing desperate- at that Marvel Superhero thing. Trying to turn the old monsters into F/X extravaganzas.
It's sad.

Always wanted there to be a movie of the DC (I think) hero "ROM Spaceknight". One of the very few comics I actually read and vaguely remember. Guess I shouldn't exactly be surprised to have never seen it since it's probably really obscure, but I still remember liking the character and thinking that it might make for an interesting film.

Actually- I think the comic was based on a toy.

ROM was an action figure toy first, then Marvel made a comic series on.

I'm surprised there was never a movie about a guy who ate a radioactive cannot beans and started letting nuclear farts.

As far as I know no one's used that exact plot, but there was BumMan, who used super BO & farts to defeat bad guys:

Haven't seen it, but Micro Filmmaker Magazine had a review. I can't link there right now; my antivirus software lists it as a potentially dangerous site.

EDIT: Here's their review: http://www.microfilmmaker.com/critiques/Issue29/BumMan_1.html
