CoD4's travelling POV style would be good for some Bayhem.

I'm not sure the craziness from the rest of the series -- firing a trident from a sub to precipitate WW3, nukes going off in the US, Red Dawn -- would translate to a good film series but probe me wrong!

No, have that be the script. Every character communicating in racist/homophobic slurs & nothing else. Also they're dubbed by 12 year old voice actors (but are still acted by big brawny action mans).

I think them not being slurs is why the poster specifically set them aside from "every slur imaginable" but I could be wrong

Whoa, an interesting take on the property that indeed draws on the feel of the different incarnations of the game rather than transposing existing plots.

We won't get that though, I bet the entire play is to get some of that sweet Act of Valor gov't money.

With 3 years between each movie, that's 42 years of transformers! The original transformer fans will be approximately 85 by the time this wraps up.

Why? They're not mutually exclusive in any way. They can use those two insults in addition to slurs. It'd be one thing if he'd said "and every other", but he didn't.

Official ruling, original comment is perfectly fine.

It's true. All of it.

It started out as a simple family comedy, but then Urkel, the wacky neighbor character, just blew up in a way nobody expected. The show became more outlandish as it centered more around him.

The last episode I remember watching was basically Speed, but on one of those stationary spin bikes at the gym.

You left out the fact that it was a spin off of "Perfect Strangers".

Nah, the plan is to do spin off films. "Bumblebee" is going to be the first one.

They should do a Very Special Episode about steroid use with Urkel and I legit can't believe that's a remotely sensible statement in 2017

For the film studio this would be better for sure, but from the game developer's perspective it makes sense. Having a terrible film damage your billion dollar a year property might be a risk you pass on for whatever share of the film you'd get, but when that starts becoming a $500 million or $100 million thing, cashing in with whatever becomes more attractive

I have no idea how involved Activision would be in the production/distribution based on their press release though

Harriett (that was the wife right) was the elevator operator in Cousin Larry's building.

Yes, they had a manual elevator in 80-whatever. Yes, the attendant was a black woman.

I think she mentions losing the job early on.

He didn't, but the eldest daughter from Step By Step gave Corey romantic advice at Disney World in a crossover night where all the shows were in Disney World, so it's in canon the same universe.

Lots of buildings still had elevator operators until very recently in major cities like NYC and Chicago thanks to union protections.
