Escape to the Movies: Knight and Day ... also Smurfs
- Thread starter MovieBob
- Start date
It's called "Romancing the Stone"? Uh, I've watched it as a kid, but it was named (or translated) something like "Hunt for the Emerald". Or maybe that's another movie.
The Smurfs look awful. And THANK YOU, MBOB, I now finally understand why they aren't called "smurfs" in my country.
EDIT: Oh, and about Knight and Day, I realized how the film would be just by looking at the promotional images - there's TWO identical screencaps of Cruise aiming a gun off-camera intensely and Diaz cowering behind him and making a cute-scared-vulnerable-damsel-in-distress face. Isn't that a bit... 1995? You know, slightly misogynistic action-thriller from the bad Bond era?

And Bob, I was disgusted with the smurfs trailer as well. This kind of movie could have been endearing if done by Anderson and his crew who pulled off the Fantastic Mr. Fox, but this is completely on the other end of the spectrum. My god... Hollywood needs to be trimmed of the fat.
Maybe maybe MAYBE! the trailer is just showing the smurfs in the New York as a kind of relatable demo in the same way that Stitch didn't actually crossover to other disney movies and the Raving Rabbids didn't do... those things they did in those promo spots.
Either way, I'm not gonna see it.
Jaynwyler! We lov your books!

Hah if you thought this was bad look at the other animated films coming out. Another cats and dogs that will be almost guaranteed mediocre. Some lame action-hero about owls, owls of all the things to make a super cool action hero of its not owls. Then there's alpha and omega which looks like its going to be a corn fest combined with an obvious story. AND on top of all of this they are doing a repunzle movie called tangled or something like that. Really this is probably the worst string of animated films i have seen in a long time.
wait, WHAT? The Smurfs in NEW YORK? They have got to be kidding.
Yes, I am Belgian and disgusted.
And I myself am not even such a huge fan of the Smurfs (actually I liked watching The Gumi Bears more as well). But seriously now, what the hell.
Please, please, PLEASE don't let them mess up the Tintin movie (..or Kuifje, as we call him in the Flanders 8D )

Great reviews, you went thought a lot in that vid!
I remember Romancing the Stone, but only because it inspired films like Indiana Jones and games like Broken Sword. It may have been a good movie, but when rip-offs do it better you tend to forget about the original. It's the opposite trend of Transformers, where things get progressively worse.
Btw, now that you've mentioned the whole 'Danger Mouse being a Texan CIA operative' you really think they WON'T make it? Don't say things like that if someone is listening!!!

Seth Rogen, eh? Well, I'm glad Green Hornet isn't very important to me.
I share your offense about The Smurfs, though. Never cared much for them, but the colossal stupidity of this "updating" or whatever is really grating my cheese. I foresee some kind of hip-hop musical number.
Also, I nominate this video for the prestigious "Most Gratuitous Use Of The Word 'Belgium' In A Review" award.
