I'm sure most of you here remember the toy

Well, now you'll be able to see him in action on the big screen in 2011:

He was simply called 'Stretch Monster'

WOW! Look what years of stretching did to poor Stretch Monster! He looks like the out-of-shape "before" picture in those exercise ads, and his box art is the "after".

Good Lord is anything safe these days? Now Hollywood's going after the toys of our youth for inspiration? Can't wait for the new Star Wars Action Figure movie :lol:

(yes I know there are dozens of those up on youtube)

Coming for Christmas 2011....MY PET ROCK:THE MOVIE.

How about a movie for the most useless toy created: The Slinky!

Really, aside from pushing it down the stairs, what else could you do with it? Yes, it was neat to shift it from hand to hand--but after 5 minutes of that, the novelty ran out.

You could stretch out a Slinky, hold your ear up to it and flick it, making cool laser-like sounds....then hold the ends and fling the middle section up in the air, tangling the metal coil beyond all recognition.

What about "Chia Pet: The Movie"?

astroal · **Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:36 am

the pet rock and chia pet movie would make a good double bill.

Yeah! Or then again, if they feel that the "source material" was too weak to make a movie out of it (and judging from some of the remakes/TV show movies they've made recently, that's NOT likely) they could always combine them into "Pet Rock vs. Chia Pet"! Could be a new wave of kaiju-style movies based on giant versions of old toys. Heck, I'm sure someone wants to cash in on the success of the Transformers movies...

Once you get that first kink in the Slinky coil, it's all over. Might as well throw it away

Not to be outdone by the Stretch Armstrong movie, the guys who wrote the latest Star Trek movie are going to produce a movie based on the View Master toy:

Oh ya, once the slinky got kinked it was all done. I'm guessing the engineers at the slinky factory knew that and it was incorporated into the business plan.

I remember when the first plastic slinky hit the market. What a piece of junk.

The best parody of all time (followed closely by Happy Fun Ball) had to be when John Kricfalusi created the The Log from Blammo skit on Ren & Stimpy.
