Why are people on buses such jackasses? I was on a standing room - sardine can packed - bus last night and a woman who had a paperback book and an almost empty backpack decided to lean against the walls leading to the rear exit, while those of use with full backpacks and tote-bags in our hands (of which there were several of us), had to use our one free hand to hold onto the hand rails some of us had to reach forward to hold onto the last few inches of rail. This is a 15 mile bus route and the woman got off at the next to last stop. Even worse half way through the trip she started chatting with one of her friends by talking AROUND me! Hello, lady. I'm trying to balance on a bus while carrying 50 pounds worth of stuff, why don't you, I don't know, switch places with me so you can be closer to your friend and I don't get my arm ripped out of the socket every time the bus starts/stops/turns a corner!?
Once I was so sick in a Metro Train that I simple vomit in the last station. I don't care about people don't helping me, but a girl pass over me and comment that was so gross. Hello! I'm not returning part of my intestines because I wanted!

What an idiot. It's not like you can help being sick...
So I just checked the user agreement for setting up a Telltale account. Apparently it requires you to be at least 18. Now, I know there's some really awesome people on here who are under that age, so I don't mind it not being upheld to the letter, but isn't 11 years old pushing it a little bit?
CGI movies about talking animals are finally becoming cliche. It's like every other CGI movie is about them. I mean, they're not all bad, just the whole idea of it all is becoming overused and a bit overrated. Sometimes I can't believe I even made the decision to go see Legend of the Guardians.
But, hell, at least my eyes will have had their fill of shiny sparkly glowy super-realistic visuals for about a month.
At least I didn't go see that movie with the Smurfs in New York. (No, it's not premiering in New York, the Smurfs are going to be in New York. The Smurfs are going to be in New York. If you did not laugh your head off at that, go visit a psychiatrist or at least the Google search engine. No, not in the form of cheap, oversized Disneyland-esque costumes. In the movie. Quite sadly, it's true.)

Is it there the statement about "Been under 18 but with the permission of your parents"?

I could have lived my life happily never knowing about the existence of this film.
The Chipmunks movies were horrifying enough... now they have to violate the Smurfs? What next, Strawberry Shortcake becoming a pop star in London and singing alongside Lady Gaga? He-Man becoming an action star in California? When will it end!?
How would the Smurfs even last five seconds in New York? Poof. They're in Times Square. Boom. Car runs over them. Dead. Roll credits. That's the only way I could abide this movie.
*sigh* And you just know they're going to rap at some point...

I'm calling it now: My Little Pony. It'll be like Bratz but with horses.

The Smurfs live in the middle ages! By the time New York City existed, Baby Smurf would already be older than Papa Smurf! It makes no sense!
IT MAKES NO SENSE!

Nothing ever stays completely true to the source material. Especially when it coimes to movies.
For example, In the Garfield movies, (which were severely underrated, by the way) Jon struck a chord with Liz right of the bat. The Jon in the comics didn't get Liz's attention until about 2007.

I think they time travel. *facepalm*
At least Gargamel looks awesome. I have to find a Screen Shot though.

(Read: around when the movie came out)
I don't plan to see the smurfs, I have to see the Trailer for Yogi bear, and thats it
Completely unrelated: I need a trick for staying on practicing guitar. I'm using the Garageband app lessons, but I think I need real lessons. Anyone got any suggestions?

The trailer for Yogi Bear makes it seem like every other Hanna-Barbera Movie, but I really can't disagree with Dan Aykroyd. I can, however, disagree with Justin Timberlake, so I probably won't go see it.
As for guitar lessons, I recommend an ACTUAL teacher.
I don't see Azrael on the screenshot of Gargamel. And what's Gargamel without Azrael?
Will they use a real cat or a CGI one?
I can't believe they're making that movie. It's so weird. I guess time-travel is better than no explanation but... Ugh! And how will they understand modern English when they can only speak old French?

By assuming they are actually adapting the old hanna barbera cartoons?
At least the whole time travel thing explain to me what is Neil Patrick Harris doing in the movie. For a moment, I thought he will be Johan.
But the old cartoons did take place in France. That they all speak English, or Spanish, or whatever isn't a problem, it's just translating what they're saying into the viewer's language, and works since everyone spoke old French, so it could all be converted into the same language. Even the version in modern French is technically a translation since they would be speaking old, not modern, French.
If, however, they go to New York, then there are two different languages, and they should NOT be able to understand each other. Having them all speak the same thing just doesn't work, as far as I'm concerned.
I guess I whine about the weirdest details.
EDIT: Oh, and by "should not be able to understand each other", I meant beyond the facts that Smurfs speak Smurf.
Hey! Don't bash the Smurfs! Even though I much prefer Johan et Pirlouit, the Smurfs were nice books too. Sure most people in North America got to know them through the cartoons, but that doesn't take away from their awesomeness. So there.
I saw the Smurfs once. I believe it terrified me. But I'll still be annoyed if the movie misses the point of the series. I was annoyed when I saw the previews for the Marmaduke movie, and I don't even like Marmaduke. Why did they make him crack wise?

You have to ****ing be ****ting me. While Dan Aykroyd doesn't sound ANYTHING like Yogi Bear, both in sound as in mannerisms, Justin Timberlake just pretty much ****ing nailed Boo Boo.

Or talk, for that matter. Even if it's only to other animals.
... All of this makes me miss the Homeward Bound method of adding voiceovers to real animals. I remember when that was sufficient. Superimposed CG lipsync still gives me the Uncanny Valley heebie-jeebies.

If that's Timberlake doing Boo Boo with little to no synthethized enhancements, then yeah, I'm kind of impressed. Yogi ... is ... just ... um. Well.
If I may refer again to the Uncanny Valley effect -- if there's such a thing as a vocal version of that, I'm afraid this would be it. I don't normally judge a VA performance based on a few lines in a trailer, but ye gods that was depressing. And I'm not even a Yogi fan, except perhaps in a vague, nostalgic sense.

There was a PS2 game too but it's UK region coded.
urgh.
Why, what's gwanning, holmes?
*is hip*
Fixed it for you.
Spain gets all the cool music on the radio! When we were over there, they were playing ghostbusters, Rick Astley and a couple of others alot.

Okay, Gargamel actually looks pretty good. So now I can say "...At least the casting wasn't without merit" before sobbing uncontrollably.

Which toy was based in a Belgian Comic, for your information.
Et tu, Neil?
One would think NPH would refuse to do a movie like this. Not only is he a part of 80's culture, he's a huge fan of it, too.
@Remolay: It's just fun laughing at Hollywood's floibles.
