Missing an "m" subby?

No, Hollywood is flooded with good scripts each day. But the idea of taking a risk on a new script is repulsive to executives when they can simply remake something that already has brand recognition and dumb it down so that the intellectually weak majority can access it.

But will it have a giant battery with the voice of Pat Morita?

Pretty much nailed it right there. Why take the risk of making something new and good when you can do Transformers 3 and guarantee truckloads of money?

Cool, this could make The Nutcracker actually interesting to watch. It would take a lot of work, but maybe.

Nope.

Michael "Boom-Boom" Bay directs "The Nutcracker."

More explosions and less story!

Starring celebrities no one really cares for!

Two hours of Michael Bay getting kicked in the family jewels? I got no problem with that.

The story behind the nutcracker is pretty action packed. I dont know what peoples problem with this is honestly. Given the choice Id rather watch the action flick than dudes in tights.

So, with this, "Ow, My Balls - The Movie" should be greenlit for next Christmas.

Censor Lady: But this is a CHRISTMAS show.
Frank Cross: Well, I'm sure Charles Dickens would have wanted to see her nipples.
Carpenter: You can barely see them nipples.
Frank Cross: See? And these guys are REALLY looking.
