What The Smuuuuuuuuuurf Is Up With This Smurfs Poster?
Oh wow. You know, it's one thing for Hollywood to put everyone in Narnia on rollerblades, or to rewrite the Last Starfighter as a magical X-Box 360 console in the middle of nowhere, but in general, Hollywood remakes at least LOOK like they took SOME effort. Usually one at least has the sense that your raped childhood has been laid to rest on a pile of money. WHAT IS THIS?
First of all, that tag-line is so funny. Smurfs is going to be about a Cuban immigrant who attempts to take over Miami's cocaine industry? But, you know, for kids! So I guess it's a Smurf immigrant who attempts to take over Smurfi's smurfaine industmurf. They're just trying to appeal to the parents who are going to have to buy the tickets for their children. "You know, it's obviously for kids, but I enjoyed it too. The scene in which Angel Smurftinez is murdered in a bathtub with a chainsaw right in front of Smurfface's eyes, I mean, that's going to go over a kid's head, but I definitely got it."
But, um, WHAT IS THAT SMURF? It honestly looks like the first computer drawing ever. "It is amazing what this little machine that is only the size of two football fields can do. It took ten of our Nobel Laureate technicians 14 months to produce this, but with some luck, we might one day be able to turn American soldiers into tiny drawings. Can you imagine a bloodless war?" And other military-industrial nonsense. Seriously, though, what happened here? Someone tell me what happened here? Did someone drop their computer in the toilet? This thing looks like it was run over by the bagel truck. Unbelievable.

ClipArt is the new CGI
Score = 16
it's quite disturbing, in a Real Doll kind of way. that might be it. they're trying to appeal to the lonely 40-year-old geeks who run the internet.
Score = 1
maybe the plot has the Smurfs battling dvd pirates and this is the most meta movie poster ever made?

I wonder what Godsauce will have to say about this...

I had a collection of little plastic smurfs when I was a kid that looked exactly like this. When I first saw this I assumed they were going after the nostalgia of old farts like me.
Score = 3
sometimes i think that hollywood takes a poll to find out what is least necessary, then makes movies about it.

Truly the American people get the Smurf poster tagline that we smurfserve. (But I actually like the Smurf itself. Smurfple. Smurftiful. Exactly the smurf Smurf for our smurfful times.)

HEY - someone probably sank 15 years worth of their time and money into this movie to make sure they walk and move like humans do because that was a goal worth reaching.
When it came time to write a script, that's when they finally decided someone needed to set an egg timer so as not to go overboard on the whole project.
Score = 5
The only thing I can think of when I see the Smurfs is that mexican live action smurf pr0n video.

As a fellow Belgian citizen (yes, that's where Smurfs come from), I would like to apologize aforehand for the ugly CGI sell-out this movie will obviously be.
Sincerely,

Forgive me for this, but it really looks like he's giving a blowjob and two handjobs to invisible smurfs.
And really, where the hell is Godsauce? He spends more time here than Gabe, and he's not commenting on the Smurf post?
