Afternoon Tea: Mattel & Hollywood plan to ruin more of your childhood by taking popular toys and adapting them into movies

By

 

 

Mattel recently looked into their corporate toy chest to see what else they can pimp out adapt as a movie for Hollywood to further ruin our childhood in the name of capitalism. The company has reported there are 17 movies in the works including:  

  • Polly Pocket - with Lily Collins and Lena Dunham
  • Uno - a hip hop heist caper featuring rapper Lil Yachty
  • Barney - with Daniel Kaluuya
  • Major Matt Mason - with Tom Hanks
  • Magic 8 Ball - no word on who will be in it
  • Live-action Masters of the Universe (doesn't Mattel know this was done in 1987 with Dolph Lundgren?)
  • Hot Wheels - being planned to be a gritty, testosterone fueled movie to be produced by J.J. Abrams

Grab your Joan Collins funeral veil because originality in Hollywood is dead. It has been replaced by laziness and an obsession for reboots, remakes, sequels, prequels and anything else that doesn't require intellect or an original thought. I have no idea who the hell Hollywood is catering to anymore - besides bean counters.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a tantrum to throw.

OPEN POST: PROJECT BABY FACE IS A VANITY DISASTER!

I love my headline here. It reads like something out of some shameless 50s tabloid headline about an alien boy hidden away from the world because he has the head of a 4-month-old infant. Well, in his ever more bizarre quest for youth, the disturbed but too rich to go broke in his absurd waste of money, 2 million this year alone, Bryan Johnson has discovered what us vain bitches have known for a while. He could have paid me a cool million to quietly whisper in his ear, "Hey, Bry, loss of fat in your face can age you." No duh? One look at a fat pudge of a baby and an 80-year-old is plenty to prove something obvious, yet this fool and his money part to discover these groundbreaking insights into aging. This genius has a team, and his goal is to "bio" hack aging, having once absconded with the blood of his teenage son to trick his middle-aged cells or some such nonsense. His cells laughed at his ass and refused to change.  Schadenfreude is my oldest friend, and I enjoy
