I just saw Masters of the Universe[^] last week (birthday joke for a friend) and now comes this announcement[^].
Was I waiting for more He-Man? No.
Am I disappointed that Lundgren is not mentioned? Also no.
I'll sure as hell be watching it though

Sadist. That's one of the worst movies ever, only surpassed by some of the rebooted, reimagined, resetted and recycled junk they have been producing for the last 15 years.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Our birthday presents started out as "wrong movies", but quickly grew into cool trilogies (and later just anything with multiple installments).
I can't even remember what started it, but we've given each other stuff like RoboCop, Mad Max, Jurassic Park, Oceans, Rocky, Rambo, Back To The Future, Ghostbusters, Taken, John Wick...
It's getting harder to find good movies we haven't seen yet.
But stuff like Masters Of The Universe, TMNT and Flash Gordon (there, I just found two movies that were at least as bad!) will always keep a special place in our hearts

Flash Gordon was made this way deliberately. They wanted to have the look and style of the 1930s comics. Anything else would have been a big mistake.

Even then it was particularly bad
I haven't read the comics, so maybe the comics were just really bad.
Maybe 30's plots and scripts were really bad.
But man, what a bad movie that was.
Yet, somehow it still entertains
Great soundtrack though.
Compare that with an average Uwe Boll movie, they're bad and DON'T entertain...

If remember correctly Mattel tried to do an end run around to get a licence before the film, like they missed with Star Wars, for 'Conan The Barbarian' think mucho toy sales. Film wasn't targeted for toy buying age (had some Claret involved) So they had to create a world and story for He-Man...

Really? These kids were not little Millenials yet and actually did their best to get to see any movie where the Governator hacks up bad guys with a sword. I certainly had my ways to get to see any movie. Like Alien in 1979. Rated R, so I should not have gotten in for another six or seven years. Liked the movie, except for that Mexican girl who kept screaming one or two rows behind me.
Ooops. I just remembered where I saw that movie.

I think 'they' also did a Toy line for Aliens, which kinda suffered the same fate. I think the kids were not quite the right age for toys that saw it. I do remember a toy collector on one of those Antiques Roadshow toy collectors thing in Discovery who had one in the box was worth quite a bit!

You mean this innocent little toy[^]? I was definitely the right age, but quickly abandoning my childhood to put together a computer. This action figure helped me along that path to the dark side because it scared the hell out of my mother and I would never have gotten it.

...of course now we are in the modern enlightened times the Power of Greyskull will produce "She-Man"!
Skeletor will still be male though. Apparently only heros are female these days.

No, that will offend any Gods out there. The name has to be "It-Entity".

Easy one for today.

Solution:
Play = game
One = Mono
Many = Poly
to buy fake land = The theme of the game monopoly you buy properties.

Didn't think this would take so long.
BTW can anyone explain why my posts are usually flagged?

Nope. The ways of the detector are not for the mind of mortal man. Except Mathew. And he knows everything.
That and if we explained the reasoning, it might help spammers bypass it. Your "spammer flag" should automatically come off soon(ish) anyway, so don't worry about it - we're reasonably quick at moderating.
It's take time because we don't know the answer ...
