Remembering D-Day

June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy. The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded -- but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

Stretch Armstrong in 2011, You May Want To Kill Yourself Now

Steve Oedekerk and Brian Grazer will be teaming up to bring a film adaptation based on Hasbro's Stretch Armstrong line of child toys. The announcement comes months after a deal was brokered between the toy company and Universal Studios to begin making movies based on popular toys from Hasbro.

Steve Oedekerk has been in the limelight for sometime as a writer on various projects including Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Bruce Almighty, and Patch Adams and is also the writer and star of the Kung-Fu spoof Kung Pow, which coincidentally enough he is filming a sequel to as we speak.

Despite the talent behind the film, I am gonna have to say that this is a film that should stop at the pre-production phase and die a slow and horrible death.

As if you didn't need another reason why this film is a bad idea, then here is an old school commercial for the child's toy that contributed to more than one or two black eyes in my lifetime.
