Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I can't believe Hollywood is letting a director violate another beloved franchise. Outside of Spiderman and Batman Hollywood adaptions have mostly been terrible.

Can't be any worse than The 3 Stooges movie that's coming out in a couple weeks.

That shit looks terrible. The sad thing is that 2 of the 3 actually look casted "properly", but in the end it's just not the real Stooges. I remember when I saw the trailer for it for the first time, my friend and I looked at each other and pretty much simultaneously said WTF?

Yeah, probably not the best idea to come out with a full length movie. I could appreciate a short tribute, especially with the likes of Will Sasso and Sean Hayes (of Will & Grace fame) but not a full feature.

3 stooges to me is legendary and still funny to this day, and this is coming from a guy that absolutely hates pre-80's cinema, especially black and white shows and movies.

Speaking of slap-stick comedy.

It originally was a blockbuster movie with Sean Penn, Benicio Del Torro, and Jim Carey in the rolls. The director dropped out and then so did the cast. It at one point had promise.

I agree. When I first saw the trailer I told my wife there was no way that movie could make any money, although i could be wrong.

I was also shocked when they said that "John Carter" 's projected loss was going to be somewhere in the 200 million range.. Can a film fan tell me how close that is to "Battlefield Earth" in terms of loss?

They lost it all to those stinkin pirates, not because they made a bad movie.
