SY-FY made a slasher movie starting The Banana Splits and SHiTEs are rending their garments. PaulBTK kicks things off by being offended on behalf of Banana Splits fans, even though he never dig them personally. (Too edgy? Too ethnic? Both?)
But Silver Surfer takes the Cake in the maudlin boomer sweepstakes:
"Last year, I had organized a Saturday morning, kids' show retro event and had planned to have available Banana Splits costumes (which are/were available from the U.K.) for people to wear and provide a photo opps for families. Alas, that would've been the last chance for such use. From this point forward, as others have stated, the brand is tainted, if not downright ruined. Google searches will inevitably lead to this intellectually bankrupt, soulless movie and the original Splits (along with the boomers and Gen X-ers childhood memories of them) will be lost to the dustbin of pop culture history.
Though I have seen other cultural touchstones sullied before, this one really hurts."
Of course the movie is going to suck, but losing sleep over a SY-FY original movie is peak SHiTE.
