I wonder how many more 19th century literary works they have left to adapt into bad movies.

Probably the same amount of american comic book characters.

I'll pretty much call it a day when they make a movie on the Green Lantern.

Some details have probably changed by now but a Green Lantern movie has been planned.

hahaha wow. the circle is complete.

I'd be more impressed with an Aquaman movie.

I can see it now... *fade to the briny seas as theme song, by Moby, swells*

The tumultuous waves ripple much like the musclebound back facing the camera. The man turns around, revealing himself to be Vin Diesel. As he clutches a giant spear with dynamite attached, he stares into the camera and says, "Call me Ishmael, motherf***ers."

MOBY DICK appears in huge letters and flies past the screen.

Cut to and establishing shot of the island of Atlantis. Jacked dudes and scantily clad chicks fly around on giant pterodactyls, tossing dynamite-laden harpoons into the sea with wild abandon.

The camera flies between the CG-rendered pterodactyls and zooms in on a maximum security prison. Guards wearing all black leather with wielder's masks patrol the walls with repeating crossbows and blunderbusses. Heavy metal wails in the background.

In the prison courtyard, a throng of dusty prisoners are fighting over scraps of whale meat. Punches fly and one guy swings his ball and chain around, thwacking another dude in the head in slow motion. You can see his tooth totally get knocked out.

A shaggy, bearded man breaks into the middle of the of the melee, smashing chairs and stuff over peoples' bald heads. "Enough!" he cries.

Vinshmael: "Who the hell are you?"

Bearded dude: "Call me AHAB!" *dun dun dun* "For too long have we fought over scraps of whale meat. If we set aside our differences and work as a TEAM, we can get out of here and eat all the whales we want!"

The prisoners look at one another, confused.

Prisoner 2: "But we're not whale hunters, we're pirates!" Everyone shouts "yeah!" and/or "yarr!"

"What if I told you there was a whale big enough to feed us all with sumptuous whale meat for the rest of our lives? With enough blubber to keep us warm for generations? With enough scrimshaw so we can fill ten museums with carvings?! There is such a whale, and he is called "the Dick." Join me, and we can feast upon it! Pirates! TONIGHT WE DINE ON WHALES!"

Not gonna lie, Vin Diesel would totally make that movie badass.

I would definitely watch that. Even more if Moby can shoot a laser out of his mouth.

Great, this will just give people an excuse to use dick jokes.

When have we ever needed an excuse?

We already had dick jocks with Dick Tracy.

and ever since the dawn of the dick

We had dick jokes as soon as penises were referred to as dicks.
