Live action Smurfs?

June 11, 2008 By: BC Category: 80's, brian carl, movies, smurfs 7 Comments →

I get it Hollywood is spent of ideas. HecklerSpray has an article about the new smurfs movie and that it will be live action.

It worked for transformers and Alvin and the chipmunks, so they figure what other cartoons from that period can we recreate.

  • Well Thundercats?? Nah putting cats in human clothes is more effort than its worth.
  • DinoRiders? They are saving that for Jurassic Park 4.
  • Bucky O’Hare? Hero movies are trendy. but nobody respects rabbits.

I just picture this movie being the Blue Man Group combined with Honey I shrunk the Kids and my grandfather chasing them down with Eiffel 65 playing in the background.

If I could see one 80’s show as a live action movie it would definitely be Pirates of Dark Water. That show was awesome, but really they could only ruin it.

Whoa!! Bill and Ted Remake??

When I read about the remake of this movie, I have a different point of view. Everyone seems to be all against this. Saying without Keanu and whoever that other guy was, its not going to be good. NEWSFLASH: It wasn’t good to begin with, that is what made it most excellent.

I am usually against remakes, as I have told Michael Bay a few times and will soon tell J.J. Abrams, but really what are you going to ruin. I was under the impression that Harold and Kumar go to white castle was all ready a gnarly remake of Bill and Ted.

I recently interviewed the other guy from Bill and Ted and asked him a few questions about what he thought about the remake. His answers were pretty surprising. More surprising was that he now works as a telephone repair man.

Me: How is it going the other guy from Bill and Ted.

Other Guy: …..

Me: Well that’s tubular, I am glad you are so good you have nothing to say. I am sure all four readers o this blog want to know, how did you end up working with telephone booths? Were you just trying to relive your past? I mean you are working with phones and I am pretty sure you are high right now. Your life sounds like a much less exciting version of the movies.

Other Guy: ….

Me: You should try and timetravel in the phone booth now, just for fun. Or have you already tried that? Maybe you can go back to when people remembered your name. (NOTE: I don’t think anyone ever remembered his name)

Other Guy: (puzzled look)……

Me: Good talk brah, keep up the good work.

So when it came down to it I didn’t even ask him anything about the movie, but I feel like I covered my bases.

UPDATE: Apparently the other guy is dead. I have no idea who that stoner was that I interviewed, but it explains his confusion.
