Double Dog: I Took A TV Bus Tour Alone In A "Just Jack" Tshirt

Duh Aficionado Sidebar: I think the rule in Hollywood is to ask: "Did this property ever, in the past, make any money whatsoever?" If the answer is yes ("Ghostbusters: another fucking money factory!"), then the execs are rules-bound to revivify that property rather than go with something newly created, which, duh, has yet to make its first dollar. It's the definition of conservatism.
Score = 0
Hopefully Michael Rapaport will reprise his role as the stereotypical Italian mafia raccoon. Fingers crossed!
Score = 1
Why does Hollywood have such a boner for awkward cartoon-to-live action adaptations? This movie is going to be like 75% CGI anyway, why not just go the full route and make it one big disappointing cartoon movie instead of doing another Ice Age or whatever. I mean, why not save money in this economy and just pay your actors to come in to do a week of voice acting instead of spending six months shooting them outside in the woods talking to a tennis ball on a stick.
Score = 6
Or why not use a real bear in a real tie and porkpie hat and dub the voices over? It'll be a cross between Gentle Ben and Dr. Doolittle! Those were popular things right? $MONEY.
Score = 2
Because real bears are divas!

I can't believe the number of revelations in this article aside from the dumbass Yogi Bear crap:
1. There will be a Ghostbusters 3
2. There will be a Chipmunks sequel
3. The chipmunks sequel will have the word "Squeaquel" in it
4. All that facebook movie shit (I'm late to the party, I get it, but David Fincher??)
