Stretch Armstrong: THE MOVIE!

Annoying Gaming Habits, and How to Deal with Them

Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.

If you thought the G.I. Joe movie looked ridiculous, just wait until you see the first trailer for the Steve Oedekerk Stretch Armstrong movie. Stretch Armstrong? I remember that guy!

“This is a new well from which to draw intellectual properties that bring a pre-awareness and nostalgia,” Schneir said. “They are drawing filmmakers who find a real emotional connection and resonance, and this is proving to be a compelling driver for motion pictures.”

The toy from the 70’s also featured a monster, a dog, and an evil twin brother. The last time a Stretch Armstrong movie tried to get made, it was with Danny DeVito and Jackie Chan. No release date or stars have been attached.

The G.I. Joe movie does not look ridiculous. I demand you take that back immediately.
