Well, that’s it, folks…stick a fork in the entire concept of Hollywood because it is oh-ficially done like dinner.

Warner Brothers is now on record as planning to launch a movie about Legos.

Yeah, Legos.  You know, those little plastic blocks that pretty much everybody played with when they were kids?  And this isn’t about what people do with them or anything like that, either.  This is about something entirely different.  In fact, the studio is citing Toy Story as its model.

Okay, so maybe this isn’t as lunatic an idea as I first thought.  Let’s be honest here–in basements and bedrooms and playrooms all across the country, Lego has generated literally millions of stories.  I personally liked to arm my Legos and construct vast space fleets of mismatched vessels to go forth and destroy alien civilizations.  Fighter craft out of speedboats, bombers out of airliners, all that sort of thing.

And if I, a mere stripling, could come up with dozens of tales for my Legos to enact, imagine what actual writers could do.  Or failing that, imagine what Hollywood writers could do.
