Now I played and collected these action figures as a child, but even at the tender age of 10 I knew the cartoons were awful. He-Man as a toy was campy enough without the formulaic plots of the cartoon. If Silver can bring out his producing best from ” The Matrix” (first one), ” Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”, ” Veronica Mars”, ” V for Vendetta” (yes I liked it!) and ” Xanadu” (heeeeeeeee) then perhaps this will not be as dire as it sounds here.

According to Variety ”The Warner/Silver movie would reimagine the franchise as a classic good vs. evil battle, using the kind of visual effects used in 300. “
This may actually work, if they also aim it for adults again. The problem with children’s films is that they are far too childish these days. Films like ” Spirited Away”, ” The Incredibles”, and by first looks the upcoming ”Transformers”will appeal to adults, but appeal to kids because they will think they are seeing something adult and exciting. I know I sound like a broken record with this, but the studios seem to forget that the people who played with the toys in the 80's are now all thirty-somethings and do not want to sit through the live action version on the TV cartoon.

Anyway, enough of all this and more of Dolph. I do like my Scandinavian men hence why I picked out the BF eight years ago in the International Scandinavian Boyfriend Fair.
I was worried that Dolph may not have aged well, but I was wrong...rugged and yummy with a spoon.
