    Grumpy Cat is Getting a Movie or Go to Hell Hollywood

    Hollywood is developing a film based on an Internet Meme. You know, those pictures with amusing captions that fat chick Lillian in accounting puts on the Office refrigerator. Everyone glances for a second and gives that quasi-sincere half-smile. "Oh isn't that cute," Tracey, the guy who laps up all the coffee, says. But he's really thinking, "Christ, Lil. This is why you're single!"

    Yes, this may be a multi-million dollar production and it’s based on Grumpy Cat, the most recent Memo to gain infamy

    Hey, it's showbiz. When there is a well to tap, they'll go for it, and strangely, this Meme is a goldmine. Merchandise galore at Wal-Mart and Hot Topic. Haven't been to the latter in years, I confess. Not in the mood to see douchey teenagers wearing Grumpy Cats tee-shirts "ironically." MSNBC named Grumpy Cat the most influential cat last year, and that is why that network shits the bed in reporting and viewership, and has showed up on all those morning talk shows your mom watches and forwards you the video.

    The pitch is, get this, the cat talks and she's grumpy! Will Ferrell and Jack Black are attached with the project set up at New Line.

    Your kids will scream and holler to see this opening weekend. Hollywood, at least make it worth our wild. Cast Alison Brie as Grumpy Cat. She's too damn good to piss her talent on cult comedy shows nobody watches and gifs few will see outside of smelly guys on forums.
