- darthsand, on 11/09/2009, -2/+37I hope at the end of the movie they shake the screen; everything disappears; and its like nothing ever happened.
- fluidfoundation, on 11/10/2009, -0/+33Who will be the villains? Dr. Lite Brite and Professor Spirograph?
- getsome2k, on 11/10/2009, -1/+26It's official, Hollywood is out of good ideas for new movies.
- gankige, on 11/10/2009, -1/+19And I thought the countless reboots and sequels were bad. This is just abysmal.
- Laminarcissus, on 11/10/2009, -0/+18I would go see an Etch-A-Sketch movie, but only if it was about an Etch-A-Sketch that moved to New York to become a world famous billboard, but after repeated rejections by laughing sign companies about "being too small for this business," falls in with self-destructive club kids -- Toss Across, Connect Four, Battleship -- and develops an addiction to drugs and five dollar back-alley knob jobs.
He finally takes the bus back home, but realizes that everyone he's ever known has moved on with their lives, and the final shot is Etch-A-Sketch lying on the floor of his childhood bedroom next to a smoking gun, in a pool of his own aluminum powder and beads. - Lederhosed, on 11/10/2009, -1/+17Plot: Giant Etch-A-Sketches take over Manhattan, and take revenge by shaking people to death.
- RobotKeaton, on 11/09/2009, -0/+15And it was all in the imagination of some Autistic child.
- iheartbakon, on 11/10/2009, -0/+15And the money we paid for the tickets magically reappears in our wallets.
- tmonsta1, on 11/10/2009, -0/+13no, they're not out of ideas... they're just terrified to put anything on film that doesn't have a built in audience
and every body had an etch-a-sketch... that's like 6 billion tickets they could sell
/s - kahoona1, on 11/10/2009, -0/+9This is an even worse idea than the Asteroids movie.
- aderek, on 11/10/2009, -0/+7It'll probably make money.
- acroyear2, on 11/10/2009, -0/+7that was official years ago.
- addzero, on 11/10/2009, -0/+6"In other news, an earthquake wiped out Etchisketchistan today." -- Onion News Network
- b3astie, on 11/10/2009, -0/+6Why?
- lhugnar, on 11/10/2009, -0/+6First you see the Etch-A-Sketch...and then you die!
- tmonsta1, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5but Toy Story was such a huge success... I think it's over due that Etch gets his own movie
perhaps a prequel... Etch-A-Sketch Origins: The Scrawled Grey Line - coreyb, on 11/10/2009, -1/+6Was anyone else expecting an animated film done completely on the Etch-A-Sketch?
- freshyill, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5Let me attempt to respond with similar enthusiasm:
This might actually be the thing that finally makes me kill myself! - unknamed, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5Movies from 20 years into the future:
Slinky 3: A World Without Stairs
Silly Putty 2: Out of the Egg
Twister 5: Hey, That's Not My Leg!!
(I'm sorry, did I say 20... I mean 10 years) - digitalArtform, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5A master Etch-A-Sketch artist with nimble fingers and a child in need of expensive health care is offered a million dollars to crack a certain safe.
- iheartbakon, on 11/10/2009, -1/+5I guess a Pet Rock® and Hula Hoop® movie can't be too far behind.
- digitalArtform, on 11/10/2009, -0/+4A child cracks an intercepted alien radio code when he realizes the information actually describes a sequence of knob turns on an Etch-A-Sketch, but is the face it forms our Savior? Or our Destroyer?
- calon9, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3And Patrick Duffy closes the shower door.
- digitalArtform, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3Two one-armed long time rivals are forced to team up on one Etch-A-Sketch in order to keep their jobs as police sketch artists.
- Orbital101, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3As an aside... that Micronauts movie they mentioned?
Count me in. - mrwright613, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3so society as a whole will degrade, but hey, there's money to be made! let's do it!
- digitalArtform, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3A magical Etch-A-Sketch creates worlds from its images that you can enter -- just keep it safe while you are inside, and don't let anyone shake it.
- ftc08, on 11/10/2009, -1/+4God, Allah, Yaweh, Shiva, Buddah, Ra, Zeus, Thor, Teddy Roosevelt, Sol, Quetzalcoatl, Xenu, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Invisible Pink Unicorn;
For the love of all that is holy, protect our childhood memories. Stop Hollywood from taking our most beloved toys and shows and turning them into profit vehicles dictated by petty commercial interest versus honoring them. You saw what happened to Transformers, stop anything else from meeting the same horrible fate.
Ramen. - borez, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2All I can say is that whoever buys the rights better have a damn site better imagination then I do, because to be honest... I have no idea where you could possibly take this.
I mean what next, Kerplunk... the trilogy? - kahoona1, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2It doesn't seem to be etched in stone just yet.
- sajuuk, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2Okay, I lied. Hollywood is not out of creativity. They are just so high on their own money (and numerous drugs) that they use a coin to decide if a movie is going to get made or not.
- krellor, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2"Can an Etch A Sketch movie possibly give Michael Bay a run for his money?"
Yes. Yes it can. I diseased Frito could give Transformers 2 a run for its money. - Saprta, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2I don't know if a movie about this would work. The whole thing seems a bit sketchy to me.
- chuckDontSurf, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2I truly wish I had a dollar for every time someone has made this declaration.
- digitalArtform, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2An evil Etch-A-Sketch overlord must be stopped when he wants to bring gray oppression and right angles to our colorful, curvy world.
- HiddenCanuck, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2Isn't Die Hard III sort of "Simon Says"?
- Snoogs, on 11/10/2009, -1/+2Beats the hell out of the Simon Says movie that went straight to DVD last year.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp0-yDJAtWQ - osoroco, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1reminds me of Piccolo, although less green
http://etchasketchmaster.com/pages/photo.php?i=8 - chuckDontSurf, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1Let's hope they don't do a Mr. Bucket movie.
- plainOldFool, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1Let me guess... Uwe Boll?
- Snoogs, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1http://etchasketchmaster.com/pages/gallery.php?i=1
- osoroco, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1still waiting for the Mr. Potato Head movie
- Portezbie, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1These people license everything. These articles want you to believe this actually means something so you will keep reading them. It is highly unlikely even 1% of what they license will actually happen.
- doctechnical, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1Ditto. Those were cool toys.
- giz0r, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1ONE MAN ... ONE DESIRE
- deadlikeoscar, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1I don't know about diseased, but Fritos are a great way to start a fire.
- hamfister, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1I smell a trilogy with Connect 4 and Boggle.
- explodingzebras, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1they could make it on Debian Etch....
- fwoofles, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1Why does there have to be a movie for everything?
- diggnutty, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1id rather see a pet rock movie
