Stick with Buckaroo Banzai. Nobody wants to fuck with that story.

I love him.

Not for this, but for his music.  I could give two shits about the movie.

[cnamon]

Who is that?

I still need to send you that CD.

N.E.R.D.

[meredith]

I like Pharrell. Hopefully Voltron doesn't disappoint.

[eo000]

he's a music producer.

[Jessie]

Crap, I forgot that I wanted to get a N.E.R.D. cd.

[eo000]

i could put both nerd cd's in the dump when i get home, if anyone would like them.

[Jessie]

Please do.  Hopefully my cd burner will start working right.  It's either broken or I bought a bad batch of cds.

[Dry then Catch]

is this the "car" voltron.  i liked it better than the lion voltron.  but seriously there were like 5000 cars and 5 lions

I had never even heard of that one...  http://www.voltronforce.com/vvoltron.html

[Beefy]

Car Voltron kicked ass.

Also, I thought Jessie had no Internet connectivity.

[Jessie]

I only have internet connectivity and a cd burner at work, not home.

I do still have free cable, though.

[eo000]

um, i can't find my n.e.r.d. cd's, but i did have my neptunes present...clones. so i tossed that on the dump.

[Dry then Catch]

can i share something.  i seriously think i had my first sexual thoughts and actions at age 5 with the blue lion princess.

Is there a way to actually make an enjoyable film out of this?  Better yet, is there a way to make a profitable film out of this?

Transformers did serious bank, but the "characters" were beloved by a generation.  Voltron was never more than a neat concept for kids.  Trying to transplant that into some kind of reality could prove disastrous.  See Speed Racer for an example.

[Beefy]

Not to mention that while the Transformers were large robots, Voltron was HUGE.  How would you make that work.

They should stick to Robotech instead.
