    This isn't a remake

    by dr. butthole

    Therefore, it won't be popular. Down with original ideas!

    Sounds Awful...

    by angrysnowmonkey

    So it fits right in on SyFy. Will they be preempting homoerotic wrestling to air this? That'll upset the lowest-common-denominator element that this network caters to.

    Can't Explain How Much I Love Huckabees

    by crow3711

    Probably one of the most devisive movies out there, right up with Donnie Darko, but I just find it incredibly, incredibly funny. The first I saw it was on HBO, and I watched about ten minutes out of the middle of the movie, and was just obsessed. I immediately went out and bought it. It gets funnier every time you watch it. Marky Marks best performance ever. Anybody else heart Huckabees? Or hate it?

    I like I Heart Huckabee's...

    by ronald raygun

    I remember seeing it in the theater. To this day, it rivals only Freddy Got Fingered for most people who got up and walked out that I've ever seen. Makes it even more special for me. David O Russell can rot in hell though.

    What's w/ the retarded title?

    by nice marmot

    I can't judge it by that alone though. Unfortunately, I STILL haven't seen Huckabees, so I don't know what to think. Or what in the hell AngrySnowMonkey read to make him think it "sounds awful."

    by jimbojones123

    South Park, Spaceballs, Family Guy, Cleveland, and just about everything on adult swim mus not be providing enough. God I miss King of the Hill.

    Same effect as Freddy Got Fingered?

    by lordporkington

    Then I'll have to watch 'I Heart Huckabees' if it's comparable to Freddy Got Fingered. I don't know anyone else other than myself who likes that movie. I even bought it on DVD from a bloke on eBay who said 'awful movie, want to get rid of it to anybody stupid enough to buy it', so I gladly bought it! I hope Ronald Raygun's comparison was a worthy one...

    Lord Porkington...

    by ronald raygun

    I Heart Huckabee's matches Freddy Got Fingered only in it's ability to alienate it's audience with dreamlike weirdness. However, it's more of a philosophical weirdness. If you're looking for an elephant semen shower, you'll be sorely disappointed.

    What other sort of Astronauts are there?

    by slimballs

    Outer Space Astronauts is an odd title.

    And I'm sure the animation will be STELLAR

    by triple_j_72

    heh... Probably the same style as in some flash movie, like "Spaceballs... The retarded animated series"

    Will David O. Russell verbally abuse an animated character?
