Sea Monkeys: The Movie

I don’t normally just take a post from a site and display it here, but this is SO worth it not just for the subject matter, but the way it is written. I doubt I could do it any greater justice than just to post the highlights and the link. Enjoy!

Every time we think Hollywood has hit the deepest depths of looniness, someone comes along and lowers the bottom. Get this: Michael Birnbaum’s Empire Pictures has purchased the movie & TV rights to … Sea-Monkeys. Yes, Sea-Monkeys, those lovable specimens of ever-hibernating brine shrimp that were sold on the back covers of comic books all over the universe. (Coming Soon: X-Ray Specs: The Movie!)…

“I grew up with Sea-Monkeys,” (Birnbaum) said. “The property’s instant name recognition on a global basis makes it a platform from which to launch an animated film franchise.” So what he basically means is: Lots of people recognize the phrase “sea-monkeys,” and therefore one simply must make a movie franchise out of said phrase. Even better is the quote from Transcience CEO Yolanda von Braunhut, who said “Dozens of producers have inquired about making a Sea-Monkeys film over the years, but Michael’s passion and vision made him the clear choice to guide these lovable and telepathic beings who want to be our friends on their journey to the silver screen.”

Lovable? Telepathic? WTF?

You HAVE to read the whole thing to believe it.
