Just imagine every vulgar speech in a film if it was censored like the smurfs. Ie from Glen Gary Glen Ross's hallmark speech:
You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a smurf. Good father. Smurf you, go home and play with your kids. You want to work here, close. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you smurf-smurfer.
I just saw an advertisement on TV for "The A-Team". One of the critics said this to describe the movie:
"Poetry In Motion."
I'm dead serious. I'm just imagining what else this obviously paid-off critic has said.
"Die Hard With A Vengeance is proof that movies are an artistic medium!"
"Lethal Weapon 4 Puts Da Vinci to shame!"
"Rush Hour 3 makes Casablanca look like it was scripted in crayon!"
The massacre of my favorite children's' characters, the Chipmunks, should not be taken lightly. Turning them into obnoxious, arrogant, douchebags like we all hated in high school - essentially modeling them after Blink 182.
Just seen Toy Story 3. I was extremely excited and went to the first showing this morning in IMAX 3D. Halfway through the movie, the screen messes up and I had to leave. I haven't been that mad in a long time. Basically ruined my day.
So I tried again late at night and just went with 2D and the movie was outstanding. I cannot recommend it enough.
