Yes I'm Belgian and watch your show (love it btw!). Am I bothered by this? Not really, didn't much care for the cartoons either and really didn't expect any film-producing company to have any respect for the cartoon's setting or story. It's just a quick cash-in to me. Also I do remember Romancing the Stone and it's sequel (Jewel of the Nile I think it was called?). First encouter I had so to speak with Danny Devito which turned out to be an actor I simply cannot hate despite the fact he more than deserves it sometimes for movies like Junior.
Escape to the Movies: Knight and Day ... also Smurfs

- Start date
No, Scientology never got it in the first place.SomeUnregPunk said:Are you one of the european countries that took religion status away from Scientology?dinoballz said:
and ..about the smurf thing... I may be wrong but from what I remember.. the smurfs were about some little blue men that some old dude wanted to catch and eat. He wanted to eat them so bad that he created a female smurf in the attempt to lead the males to him. ...
There are also criminal investigations going on about the organisation, read it on the wiki.
Funny story, a few days after this, I walked through Antwerp and saw a stand in the Main Street, people getting consultations and a table of L. Ron Hubbard books were there, but the name Scientology was nowhere to be seen! They're doing it without the name now
Knight and Day looks exactly like a Cameron Diaz movie Tom Cruise accidentally found himself in, and I actually completely forgot about the Smurfs until this review. Now I'm simultaneously furious at both movies and curious as to how they plan to tie in Gargamel. Is he now a business tycoon of some sort? This way he can still keep Azrael the cat, though it would make him too close to The Claw from Inspector Gadget.
PS- Romancing the Stone was an amazing movie, and I am 25. The sequel was a bit "eh" though.

Okay, i would like to see Knight & Day. it does look funny, even though it does have...Cameron Diaz...*shiver*
Smurfs? *Vomit*
That being said, MovieBob, yeah you. We've had our differences (Twilight mostly) but i would just like to say thank you for the recommendation of Magnolia in the end credits of this video. I just recently tracked down a copy of it and watched it and i would like to thank you sincerely for the recommendation. I never even heard of it before you mentioned it and now it is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you MovieBob.

And knowing is half the battle ^.^dex-dex said:
But seriously Bob, if I could make a recommendation for a film that may interest you - Immersion might be more up your street.
What a dull movie. It was good, I guess, but nowhere near great. It did its job, but not particularly well. Some jokes were funny but most weren't. Average, standard, dull, another: words that describe this flick well.
I am liking Cameron Diaz less and less with each of her movies. I hope she does something very different very soon, like what Mo'nique did in Precious. Otherwise she is just going to fade away...

The Smurfs did make one positive contribution to society: the kiddies watching it were unwittingly exposed to a treasure trove of classical music. Seriously, if you have any musical acumen at all, go back and listen to the soundtrack behind the episodes. You'll hear Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mendelssohn, Grieg, Mussorgsky... it's ridiculous how much classical music is in the show.
But yeah, dropping fantasy characters in Manhattan didn't work the first time either, when it was called Enchanted.

I am personally embarassed for everyone whenever I see the Smurfs trailer. Just... agh.
He makes a good point about taking a series that is based on a foriegn series and remaking it. IT's the saem reason I'm a little distressed that they're making a Robotech movie. It's something that has been retooled (in many cases, absolutely bastardized) for American audience... and then you're going to remake that.
It's just like reprocessing processed food, it just doesn't sit right with me.

I can only guess that the makers of the smurf film are deliberately trying to make it as bad as possible.

Yeah, I'm Belgian. I don't really care what happens to the Smurfs 'cause well... to many people money is very pretty. They don't care if their beloved franchise gets destroyed.
