With the unrelenting trend of reaching back into the childhoods of Generation Xers and adapting toys, games and other fond memories into big-budget motion pictures, it comes as little surprise that Warner Bros. has greenlit a movie based on the Lego toys.

Sounds like a disaster come true. Anything green-lighted by Warner Bros is usually not a good idea or to people's liking. But hey you gotta make what money you can in this economy, even if it eventually destroys the name of the theme (like avatar: the last airbender?). I like to call it rape of childhood memories.

I have to agree I really don't see how they are going to make a Legos movie appealing enough for adults to want to have to take thier kids to the movies, sit through it for and hour and a half and then pay for all thier snacks and beverages with thier blood and souls. Me personally I have four boys and to have to pay the ridiculous prices for tickets and snacks the movie has to be outstanding, I already made the mistake of taking them to see Avatar and immediately regretted it as I dozed off in the seat next to them occasionally being woken up by them complaining how horrible the movie was and how they wanted to go home.

If it's anywhere near as bad a Smurfs looked, I'll pass...
"Welcome to the party, pal."
"When am I gonna learn how to punch?"
"These go to eleven."
"Benjamin, have you ever been severely beaten about the face & neck?"
"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."
"You're gonna need a bigger boat."
