Live-action "Thunderbirds"? WHY, for God's sake?

[Enraged_Ape]

Wasn't the cool thing about this show the fact that the cast were all puppets?

[Fenris]

1. Yes, it makes absolutely no sense. The plots and the premise

weren't why the show was interesting. It was interesting because the characters were all very creepy marionettes.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. And the fact that Parker was played by Noel from Oasis

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. And their evil nemesis was Red from That 70's Show.

5. Look! It's Martha Stewert under a donut!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. Whoa! Thanx for that!

I had no idea the South Park guys were working on something like this.

There just aren't enough puppets in the world. I think it's why this planet is in the shape it's in.

14. Davey and Goliath: THE MOTION PICTURE

I'm surprised that no producer has gone after that one yet. I guess it's because Haley Joel Osment is now too old to play Davey.

Oscar winner Ben Kingsley? Oscar winner for "Gandhi"?? In "Thunderbirds"???
