McG To Piss In He-Man’s Soup?

Let’s just pull something back up out of the muck here.  McG once directed a Terminator movie (Salvation, a movie of much anguish where people’s lights were shook), few liked it.  I’m just using this as an opportunity to reproduce one of the best lines ever, in response Jim Cameron said that the Terminator ‘soup has been pissed in’.  Possibly one of the greatest put downs in the history of the industry, outside Sensei Seagal’s criticism of Tom Cruise, perhaps.

Now McG is moving onto another ’80s property, trying to at least, since he’s in talks to potentially direct the “Masters Of The Universe” reboot at Sony Pictures, Escape Artists and Franklin Entertainment.

I remember He-Man.  Cool cartoon, cool movie with tank-jawed Dolph Lundgren even though it appeared somewhat like a weird ’80s MTV video.  I don’t remember the reek of piss though.  And so we once again contemplate one of the great mysteries, ‘how the fuck does that guy find work?’.  Seriously now, they once sought this man to shoot a Superman movie.  In hindsight, maybe that wouldn’t have been such a bad thing.

It might have killed the whole superhero quagmire there and then!  But really, maybe this will be funny if some trolls are cast.  What about Ben Kingsley as Skeletor?!
