Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together
May 20, 2008
Remember back in the 80s there were those Reese’s peanut buttercup commercials?
What the felgercarb does that have to do with Scifi other than the cool retro atari-esque video game? Well, imagine two geeks at a scifi convention. One is browsing memorabilia from Disney’s smash improbable 80s flick, Tron (he’s there only because he recently figured out B5’s very own Captain Sheridan was in the movie). Coming around the corner at full-speed, in poorly fitted, overstretched Batman tights (60s super campy style) is another geek rushing to get into line to get Adam West’s autograph before he dies. Can you imagine what happens next? SPLAT! “Hey! You got improbable Tron on my campy Batman!” followed by ”Hey! You got campy Batman on my improbable Tron!” But our two geeks realize what the mishap has created and both remark, “Two great tastes that taste great together!” And now you’re really wondering what the felgercarb I’m talking about? Well, those two geeks…holy Han Solo, it’s Wachowski Brothers! But we don’t own the rights to either of those shows they lament. Hey what the hell, let’s just remake Speedracer. And in case you don’t believe me, grab some 3D glasses and watch these two clips at the same time:
It should come out looking something like this:
And they say there are no more original ideas in hollywood anymore.
