Another classic cartoon being ruined by hollywood..
I fights to the finich cause i eats me spinach...in 3D
:eek: wh...what?
okay granted I'm one of a select few who LIKED the original Popeye movie with Robin Williams.
but this...?
I'll try to keep an open mind but unlike the Addams family - this - this film just seems like an abuse of the technology.
What are they going to do? Overthrow a punch during a fight scene to *sucker-sock* the audiance?
Seriously?
what's next Muppet Babies in smell-o-vision?! :eg:
There already is another 3D Muppet Movie in production

When I saw Piranaha the other day, my local movie theater had a huge 3D promo for Jackass the movie in 3D. Does that mean they're rereleasing it in 3D, or is it Jackass 3 in 3D???
I'm so confused!
Is anyone excited about the Smurfs??! OMGTHEYAREMYFAVORITE XD !!!
It's like Jaws 3D. It's the 3rd movie that is in 3D.
Also, screw that goddamn Smurfs movie. It deserves to be set on fire.
Fuck you Rick and your cat Azrael!!!
Azrael owns!!!!!

Although I don't know why they decided to draw in the asshole but... whatever.
He's got a point. Screw the Smurfs movie. Hollywood needs to stop ruinning cartoon classics by turning them into live action movies. Scooby doo, Garfield, Alvin and The Chipmunks, Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, and Bugs Bunny. All ruined by live action/CGI crap.
Here's a thought...just don't watch it and it won't be ruined for ya.
