"She-Ra," "Supergirl" and "Jem and The Holograms" would make dream film adaptionsAs you know by now, Hollywood is determined to pillage your childhood for profit. Yesterday, Television Without Pity suggested we stop fighting it and actually encourage studio execs to plunder our pasts. Piggy-backing off their list of '80s and '90s phenomenon that would make great movies, we've constructed our own menu of ways to make our nostalgia watchable — and also awesomely queer. The Baby-Sitter's Club
Kristy Thomas (Ellen Page) plans to make her last summer in Stonybrook, Connecticut the best summer of her life. Before she leaves for college, she's determined to lead Kristy's Krushers to the little league championship! She's sure her biggest competition will be Bart's Bashers, but that's before Kristy meets new coach Jordan Price, and her new team, Jordan's Jammers. Jordan pushes Kristy's buttons at their very first league meeting. Kristy can't figure out why she's so unnerved by this new chick in town, or why seeing Jordan makes her feel tingly all over, or why she can't get enough of the way Jordan smells like softball mitt leather and strawberries. But Kristy sure-as-Pete is going to figure it out! Jem and The Holograms
Glamor and glitter! Fashion and fame! Lindsay Lohan is outrageous; truly, truly, truly outrageous as music company owner/rockstar Jerrica Benton/Jem. When she heads off on a worldwide tour with her band (Tegan and Sara), Jem is shocked to meet up with The Misfits' former saxophone player and general British rebel-rouser, Jetta (Kathryn Prescott). Against her better judgment, Jem hires Jetta to play the keytar for The Holograms. As they travel together, Jem realizes she's not the only one harboring a secret identity. Stormer likes to kiss girls, on the mouth! As an international superstar, Jem can't get into a relationship with another woman — but there's nothing stopping Jerrica from taking a chance! She-Ra: Princess of Power
After years of wallowing in debauchery, Princess Adora (Katee Sackhoff) decides to embrace the identity of She-Ra, and redeem her past transgressions by freeing Etheria from evil. Not far into her quest, She-Ra falls victim to some black magic at the hands of Shadow Weaver, and is nursed back to health by the mysterious and beautiful Castaspella. The enchantress questions She-Ra's attachment to her phallic weaponry, and the two spend weeks together, learning a different sort of joust. One morning She-Ra returns to their cabin to find Castaspella missing. Can she find and free her lover from Hordak and his Evil Horde before it's too late? Supergirl/Wonder Woman cross-over
For reasons ancient cryptic, Supergirl (Yvonne Strahovski) and Wonder Woman (Sarah Lancaster) do not get along. If one of them shows up on a scene to fight crime, the other lands soon after and almost always ruins everything. But now there's a problem bigger than either one of them: Superman has been captured! Can they put aside their differences and stop attacking each other with their super weapons long enough to bring him back to Metropolis? And will Wonder Woman be able to handle the secret Supergirl reveals about her feelings one night after being roped with the Lasso of Truth? Hey Dude
Out on the Bar None Dude Ranch, Melody (Blake Lively) just wants to roast some marshmallows and have an awesome vacation, but super-rich city-girl Brad (Leighton Meester ) wants everything her way. Their shared cabin is too hot! Melody's stuff takes up too much room in the shower! The meat is overcooked, the bug spray smells like gasoline, and where is the special horse Brad's father was supposed to have shipped in?! Melody thinks of asking for a cabin transfer, but then decides maybe Brad just a little compassion. Melody has tamed plenty of horses in her day; how much different can riding be with Brad? Which of those movies would you pay to see? What other childhood favorites would make a good transition to the big screen, and how would you gay it up? Submitted by on June 4, 2009 - 5:00pm. |

Ha!!!
Totally Outrageous!!!!
I love Jem and all the awesome 80s cartoons, plus the theme song was made of glitter win!
I would love for freaking Carmen San Diego to be a sexy, smart lesbian thief stealing and the hearts of women and artifacts around the world. Plus the theme song to the movie would be boss! Plus the fashion of the fierce red trench coat and boots and the hat, swoon!
I had dreams about this ladies, I can only hope the lesbian gods make it so!
She-Ra: Princess of Power
I'd watch all of those at
I'd watch all of those at least twice. ;)

LOL. I'm glad I wasn't the only who was reading that book.
I always said She-Ra should had a movie made.I had the whole She-Ra shebang toys-my devotion and obession to the female almighty.
HaHaHa! Huge fan of Jem and the Holograms(my major cartoon crushes).
I still think Hollywood needs to remake the movie Supergirl. I'm still waiting. I'll wait on Wonder Woman too.

I agree 100% brackishtea.
Kickin' it old school
LOVE all of these ideas.
I'm not ashamed to admit that both Jem & She-Ra (mostly She-Ra) were 2 of my very first crushes. Gotta say, Katee Sackhoff as She-Ra...brilliant! & it would totally re-inforce that crush I once had on a cartoon character.
hell yes!
if that Jem and the Holograms movie actually made it to the big screen (with Lilo, of course!), i might pee my pants in giddy anticipation. Oh, and the BSC? did anyone else love Schuyler Fisk as Kristy in the movie version? And who wasn't crushing on Rachel Leigh Cook's MaryAnne?

I think Lindsay Lohan should
i want jem i love that show
I love how you included
Baccarin
Hmm I want Morena Baccarin for Wonder Woman with Katee Sackoff. =P They're both big in the Sci Fi world..
-Rachel
hellz yeah!!!
omfg, these are all such fantastic ideas! I'm definitely voting for LiLo as Jem (though we can't forget about blue-haired kimber, her little sis...she was always my fave! Who to play her...? maybe the chick from iCarly?) and my other top vote goes to "hey dude," soooo wonderfully campy, like a dykey betty and veronica thing...I definitely had crushes on both brad and melody when I was 10! but I'd vote for the girls from south of nowhere to play them :)
SuperGirl
Actually, there was a movie from the '80s called Supergirl. I really liked it when I was younger. I crushed on the actress. ;-) I'd say if I watched it now, it would definitely be a 'B' movie; it's worth a look if you haven't seen it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088206/
The correct title is Supergirl: The Movie. It was released in 1984.
I would also love to see a move based on Jem. I was so proud of my Jem doll w/ the light up earring as a kid.
I LOVED HEY DUDE!!! That
I LOVED HEY DUDE!!! That show was amazing!!! :)
Yes!! Old School
kristy
o. m. effing. g.
what an insanely amazing idea!!! i was never into the whole babysitters club thing, but jem? she-ra? bring it on! even without queer content, i would totally see those movies.
oooh! or, what about rainbow brite? c'mon, it screams GAY GAY GAY!
Well, I'm all in for
Agreed!
Would
someone please write this? Please?? I'd love to see some Gossip Girl/Hey Dude AU fanfic. That would be awesome!
And Sarah Lancaster and Yvonne as Wonder Woman / Super Girl would be fantastic. I've wanted to see those to together for a while ;)
[jem nerd] Oooh, so I
[jem nerd]
Oooh, so I hate to be anal but the Misfits' saxophone player was Jetta, the chick with the black hair. And the other chick's name is Stormer, who had blue hair and also harbored a girl-boner for Jerrica's little sister, Kimber Benton.
[/jem nerd]
Kimber...
Ooh, I've been out-Jem'ed!
stormer & kimber: "I'm ok"
oh yeah, how could i forget about that?? does anyone else remember the ep where these two both "run away" form their respective groups because no one understands them, etc; and they bump into each other over peach melbas (why do I remember this inane detail? who the fuck knows) at the local pub or whatever, and they start their own solo project...and their music video together is called "I'm okay," aka, "I validate your emotions, now let's run off to lesboland!"
the other great thing about kimber was that, when they did flashbacks to her and jerrica's childhood, she still had blue hair. apparently, it was naturally blue ;p
LOL@peach melbas. Um, so
LOL@peach melbas.
Um, so I only know most of these inane details because I've watched the series in its entirety on more than one occasion. And, YES. "The Bands Break Up." That was totes the gayest thing ever...I can't remember if it was Stormer or Kimber, but one of them was sitting in bed with hand under the cover, gazing longingly at the other's picture. I need an animated gif of that.
iDied in the episode where Raya is introduced and she's like 5 years old, playing drums with hot pink hair. A mess (but I love that show, hence my nerdiness about it ).
Truly outrageous!
truly, truly, outrageous!
Love Jem and the Holograms!! Watching the show over again made me realize there's major subtext between Kimber and Stormer. hahaha. I love that show, though Rio would always get on my nerves.
I'd love to see the Wonder Woman and Super girl movie though. Sounds bad ass!!
Priceless comment...
I almost snorted water out of my nose...
"Melody has tamed plenty of horses in her day; how much different can riding be with Brad?"
Absolutely priceless!
Not sure if someone has point this out before, but....
We do realize that Lucy Lawless played Brad on Hey Dude?
~Without risk, there can be no innovation. Without innovation, there can be no advancement. ~
Amazing
Will u miss me?
I would love to watch all thier episodes.. I haven't watched the movie yet, waiting for that someone to come into my life and make it happen into reality. YOu rock girlz! Keep it up!!
xoxxoox
you just HAD to go there
you HAD to bring up Hey Dude, didn't you? now the theme song will be stuck in my head for EVER!
**yippee tie-yai-yay! yippe tie-yai-WHAT?! till the breeeaaaak of daaaaay!**
so. lame.
that being said, i totally did watch it for the semi-butch hot brunette who totally wanted to get it on (in a chaste nickelodeon way) with ben stiller's wife/marcia brady.
the theme song is painful, though. here! i'll share the pain!
watch out for that killer cactai!
Fantastic!
I'm not ashamed to admit that I had 4 she-ra costumes that I consistently wore for two years of my life... to the grocery store, family reunions, you name it! I would love to see that movie!
And Blake Lively in Hey Dude... Loves it!
mmmm
Ellen Page as Kristy would be basically my dream come true.
Any one that gorgeous and talented playing a coming of age nineties queer girl is okay in my books!
No way
Why would someone even suggest Lohan as Jem/Jerrica? I'd rather see Miley Cyrus play Jem than Lohan. Lohan doesn't have what it takes to play Jem/Jerrica(Yes, I know the suggestion is fiction), a better choice is Blake Lively or Lady Gaga...not Lohan.
HUGE BSC fan right here. I still have every single BSC book in my attic. Their super adventures, mysteries, little sister, etc. Ellen would make a perfect Kristy Thomas. Blake Lively would make a perfect Stacey, and Keke Palmer would make a perfect Jessi, Taylor Swift would make the perfect Dawn, but I'm stuck on everyone else.
i am
i am just stuck at the wonder woman/super girl crossover possibility.
the idea of it is just....oh lord i think a nosebleed is coming on.
Love it
awesome pics well done.... Yeah i loved watching hey dude great show when i was growing up. Loved also watching she-ra of course and supergirl wonderman.. loved them a lot. i still do today i have as my screensaver of my phone wonderman..
keep up the great work
