It's about time they make a live-action version of "Ice-Age."

So Roland Emerich's next movie is called 10,000 BC. Now, if he could only find a way to go back to the year 10,000 BC, he'd be considered a great director. Nah, the Neanderthals would probably kick the crap out of him for insulting their intelligence.

At first this movie sounded kind of cool, but now that they have released the story of it, it sounds plain retarded. Come up with a story that hasn't been done hundreds of times before.
