There's something troublingly fictional about women acting like they're kicking ass in heels and latex -- sure it's all fun to watch, but it looks profoundly unrealistic and unecessarily difficult (I'm talking about YOU, Watchmen.) Especially if your character isn't supposed to have superpowers of any sort. I'd much rather have Tank Girl or T2's Sarah Connor.

"So? I was wearing them on the street. What's wrong with wearing them in the air? ... It amazes me that people still make some remark about 'the revealing'. They revealed nothing. I had long black stockings on and boots up to my knees and the skirts and panties on and a skirt that gave you freedom to move in, - so what?"
Also, apparently she didn't like the ruffles on the guys' pants.

Okay, I know it's a 90s show, but PLEASE! THEY MUST DO IT!
On second though....maybe not. They might make it as bad as the live-action Dragonball movie...
You can make that movie as long as it's not a monstrosity.

And they folded up into cupcakes?
And what about those flying fairy deals? Those were the best/most dangerous toy ever, and they would make a great weapon in an '80s nostalgia movie.
(The google search to find this image finds this toy was recalled, which doesn't explain how my sister and I owned easily a dozen of them.)

Unfortch for me, said show wasn't airing in Canada when we moved back. A girl down the street from me had a BIKE with She-Ra's logo emblazoned on its (pink, natch) surface, and I was soooo jealous because bitch didn't even know who She-Ra WAS.
That's all I've got. Except... does anyone remember Glow-Worms or Popples? Those'd be rad movies, too.

As for She-Ra, she kicked some serious ass, but I was forever scarred by the borderline incestuous thing she initially had going on with He-Man.

It was pretty creepy. But I still call bullshit on the fact that He-Man got a live-action movie, and not She-Ra.

In my day, it was also day-glo, psychedelic, flower-power brightness. I can now see, quite clearly, that someone came along in about 1980 and began to drain the colors of their inimitable oomph, leaving us with a series of slightly-stronger than pastel shades -- and, apparently, one had to make use of EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM if one wanted to place a sale to the girls growing up in that era.
I'm not sure how this explains Iran, torture, and the financial crisis, but I'm sure it does. I'll get back to you on it.

Yeah... I remember the Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealers movie. I hesitate to watch another RB movie, regardless of plot.
I would, however, love to see any Jem movie, any way. Jem and the Holograms fight hipster hair! Jem and the Holograms unionize their local coffee shop! Jem and the Holograms have a karaoke-off with the Misfits (featuring Glenn Danzig!)!

On second thought, this sounds an awful lot like Sarah Haskins, but animated and with more 80s hair and facepaint. I could get behind that.
