Finally The Disney Version Of Full Metal Jacket Is Here

It's pretty clear that the one thing preventing Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket from truly becoming a cinematic masterpiece is that for all of its amazing storytelling and performances, there really isn't much for kids to connect with. Of course it's not at the ideal time as the film's legendary director passed away eleven years ago, but it looks as if that one problem has finally been solved. A new cut is making it's way around the interwebs that replaces the abrasive sounding jacket with something a little more kid-friendly: Full Metal Disney.

Steve Urkel Joins The Monster Craze, Cast In Megashark Vs Crocosaurus

Joining luminaries like Tiffany, Deborah Gibson, Barry Williams and Eric Roberts in the giant sized creature features will be everyone's favorite nerdy neighbor Steven Urkel, or as he's claiming his name is these days, Jaleel White. Obviously your immediate thought is what incredible new monster will Urkel be battling. Super-sized baracuda? Killer tadpoles? A giant horny toad? Maybe even some kangaroo rattlesnake hybrid? Well there's good news and bad news.

The band news is there's no new super monster really. The good news is that the suspender afficianado will be starring in the sequel to the amazing Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus, which will this time see the flying shark battle a Crocosaurus in the aptly titled Mega Shark Vs. Crocosaurus. If the people over at The Asylum have as good of a sense of humor as they seem to, it seems pretty clear that Urkel's suspenders should somehow tie up the croc's mouth rendering it useless. Then Urkel will be standing there in his boxers having saved the world from the terrible croc before his trademark "did I do that?" sends us to the credits.   [via dread central]

Synopsis: 
127 HOURS is the new film from Danny Boyle, the Academy Award winning director of last year’s Best Picture, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. 127 HOURS is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s (James Franco) remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet? A visceral thrilling story that will take an audience on a never before experienced journey and prove what we can do when we choose life.

The movie is supposed to be mainly a one man show, so it looks like the teaser is throwing out the first five minutes and set up while relying on Boyle's reputation. The story is an interesting one, although I'm still concerned about flashback heavy crutches in an effort to keep the audience interested. Boyle used two cinematographers for the film, Anthony Dod Mantle and Enrique Chediak, so at the very least there will be something pretty to focus on if the story gets too drawn out. What are your thoughts on 127 Hours?
