Smurfity Smurf, Smurf Smurf!! (2)
Merrick here...
My teenage son just pointed this out to me - not sure why he noticed this particular newsbit, but...whatever. Seems The Powers That Be are moving ahead with a SMURFS movie sequel.
Sony Pictures has decided to move forward with a sequel, setting an Aug. 2, 2013 release for "The Smurfs 2.
...per THIS piece from our friend Jeff at Variety.
Hopefully this sequel will spend more time in Smurfland, or whatever it's called, than the current picture - as Smurf Village and whatnot are considered really "cute" by hot women and four year olds, and at least one hot woman with a four year old. Although, I suspect SMURFS 2 will take the easy route and return those little blue bastards back to our "real" world with some mission-specific purpose. As long as Neil Patrick Harris is in it, which will hopefully happen, there will be hope...

mcdonald's is selling some pretty high-quality smurfs toys with their happy meals. i was surprised at how durable and solid they are. good poses and material, too.
-
Lord of the Smurf Smurfdance Perhaps NPH goes through the vortex himself.
-
but i can see how you might smurf such a the mistake ;)
-
mark my words...it will happen
-
AICN RIP
-
Not sure where your mind is at Merrick.
-
they shrink NPH and send him to Smurf Village.
-
Regarding the McDonalds figurines, I noticed that too. They're nice and heavy and reminded me of the collectable figurines they had in the early 80s. Cool stuff.
-
i was checking some out in a local mcd's and the guy behind me in line was there just to look at smurfs toys as well. don't knock to nostalgia factor...i haven't seen the movie mainly because it's in NYC and that make it look terrible to me. set it in smurfland and then i'll head to the theatre.

Lots of cheap Smurfs in Hollywood jokes, and it's easy to film there.

Hot women and 4 year olds are very similar...both are dumb as shit.

-
Awesome! Another Hollywood POS I can save money on!
-
After sitting through this, Hank Azaria & NPH should be ashamed of themselves. Tripe of the worst caliber - even for a kids' movie.
-
ass with those white pants,it is the material that a man's dreams are made of.
-
The sequel has to have the NPH character go to the Smurf realm/time. It just makes sense. Classic reverse fish out of water sequel tactic.
-
Fast food toys MUST be durable and solid, lest they have parts that could break and be swallowed by a small kid. All fast food toys are built that way these days.
-
Hey, I took my kid to see it and I actually enjoyed it more than Cowboys and Aliens, for whatever that's worth.
-
Hollywood can't crank out a Star Trek movie. No sign of a Jonny Quest movie. Where's the Godzilla movie? But gangway.... "Smurfs II" is greenlighted and fastracked....
-
Actually, it is not.
-
I'm really tremendously amused by this. People were sooooo sure the film was going to tank, and it went on to generate more box office than "Cowboys & Aliens" while playing in fewer theaters. And now it's generating a sequel (if I had to guess, perhaps it'll involve the son of the NPH character coming through to the Smurf world.) And then you've got the fanboys who are expressing outrage that this isn't "their" Smurfs, as if they were remotely the target audience. Meanwhile not only is the target audience loving it, but it's spurring interest in the source material. Publishers wisely released a bunch of the original comics to tie in with the release of the film, and my eight year old daughter is currently reading and enjoying Peyo's work. I wonder when the last time all the people howling about fidelity to the source material actually READ the source material, assuming they ever did. PAD

And Gargamel is after their Unobtainium.

Because without them, there would NOT be any "Les Stroumphfs". Serously, they cheaped out on that with this one (Even though they did have Peyo's daughter as a consultant), let's see Ben Barnes play a medieval hero WITHOUT an awful accent.

Go ahead, Sony, and make your shitty Smurf sequel. I won't watch it. I didn't go see the first one. But you don't care. Of course you don't. Why would you?
-
about the movie or a sequel, but SMURF if this talkback didn't have some very funny smurfing stuff in it.
-
Smurfin' 2: Electric Bluegaloo should actually be giving serious consideration for the next title.

Nobody puts Smurfette in a corner.

Cuttlefish or Smurf berry pie!?!?
-
I mean, I had no intention of watching that Smurf movie anyway, but NPH made the idea positively abhorrent to me. Blech.
-
Yeah... I still miss people drawing stuff. Sigh. Wish it could have looked more like this http://grenierdelatv.free.fr/homnibus.jpg or this http://nsa19.casimages.com/img/2010/12/02/101202032419706924.jpg but the lowest common demoninator is what their aiming for
-
A grown man is still complaining because they didn't make the Smurfs movie he wanted to see? Really? PAD
-
Its ridiculous for anyone to get annoyed when filmmakers radically alter the source material when making the bigscreen movie. Tune in for Smurfs 2: Smurfs in Space!
-
Hmmm. Hold on, I have some of the source material right here. Let me check. Well, Peyo's name is on it. Smurfette's origin is the same. Dialogue is the same. Names are the same. Endless use of the word Smurfs is the same. Guys, after careful scrutiny of the source material, I'm happy to report that the source material is intact. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only person here who actually has the source material at hand, you dedicated fans you. PADa

Kids don't need shit shoveled into their eyes. In 3-D.
by sasquatch_with_a_swatch_watch
okay Peter, I know you're "really tremendously amused" and everything but i don't see anything wrong with wanting to see characters you love treated fairly, whether it's Smurfs or Looney Tunes or Star Trek and nothing wrong with wanting movies, especially they're for kids, not to be up to a certain standard of quality. okay maybe you're fine with a societal standard that brushes the standards of say, the old Disney films, under the rug of history and is perfectly satisfied with the "Marmadukes" and "Chimpunks 2's" out there... but these movies plain fucking suck. there used to be pride taken in making real art for kids. this is more like Married With Children With Smurfs

and as for your argument about not changing the story
by sasquatch_with_a_swatch_watch
-Pop singer Katy Perry’s Smurfette faces awkward questions about being a rare female smurf, and blurts out, “I kissed a Smurf and I liked it.” - there is a Walk This Way” karaoke rap and an extended product placement scene where Grouchy (George Lopez) romances a stuffed M&M character. and as for this being a KID's movie -it has cameos from Joan Rivers and Tim Gunn of Project RUNWAY for christ's sake -jokes about pubic hair, vomit - a scene where Azrael licks his CGI nuts -Throughout the course of the film, the word "smurf" directly replaces the words "fuck", "damn", "shit" (noun), "shit" (verb), -"I think I just Smurfed in my mouth" and I don't personally have any kids myself but if I did I sure as fuck wouldn't subject them to the likes of Jeff Foxworthy and George Lopez.

You haven't seen the movie. So your opinion about the movie means nothing. My suspicion is that you don't have children. So your opinion on what kids should and should not be subjected to means nothing. Oooo, a character voiced by Katy Perry made an in-joke reference to a Katy Perry song. Animation has a lengthy history of voice-actor based in-joke references, (which I listed in a previous thread and you didn't respond to) but because they did it in the Smurfs film, that's somehow an abomination. Oh my God, there was product placement. You never see THAT in films, or television for that matter. "Chuck" is such a haven for Subway these days that there was an episode called "Chuck vs. the Subway." Speaking as an adult who DOESN'T revere the Smurfs in a manner that is, frankly, questionable for a grown-up, I saw the entire Toys R Us sequence as a meta-commentary on the endless merchandising of the Smurfs themselves, going all the way back to a time when you were wearing Smurf footie pajamas while I was busy raising children, and well before that. And heavens to Betsy--there were cameos from celebrities. In a film largely aimed at children, there were appearances by individuals that were intended to amuse the adults. I mean, sure, it's a commonplace practice going all the way back to, at the very least, Warner Bros. cartoons in which everyone from Humphrey Bogart to Errol Flynn to Bette Davis wandered through interacting with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck (remember, those cartoons were originally shown in theaters preceding other features), and then wending its way through Hanna Barbera cartoons (which had send ups of Ann Margaret and even the TV series Bewitched, all featuring the actual actors...not to mention that "The Flintstones" was basically the Honeymooners while Top Cat was based on Phil Silvers and Doggie Daddy was based on Jimmy Durante) through to Disney feature films (Aladdin, most prominently, although granted they were all impressions from Robin Williams; then again, the Genie was nothing BUT a massive Robin Williams celebrity appearance). But hey! Let's pretend that because it was done in a film that you have such an intense dislike for that you couldn't actually be bothered to go see it, it's a hideous aberration. Kindly stop pretending that things they do in the film are somehow beyond the pale simply because they're in a film that you don't like...which you haven't seen and so have no informed opinion about.

And with that, the world ends not with a bang or a whimper, but with a smurf.

Like there's *ANY* chance in Hell any Smurf movie can be good? At all? No way, man. It just. Can't. Happen.

If they make a big-screen version of "The Black Smurfs", I'll see it.
by Royston Lodge
It would be a great way to set the movie in the fantasy world, and ALSO connect it to the real world by throwing in all sorts of homages and parodies to well-known zombie movie tropes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Smurfs

the black smurfs into purple for PC reasons?

killik: Of course they would, but that would still sorta respect the source material..
by Royston Lodge
...since they were changed to purple for the tv show. Also, since they're really bloody simple CGI characters with very little skin texture, they could have purple smurfs in US theatres and black smurfs in international theatres (and on the special edition DVD). The CGI models are so damned simple, changing the color for different markets wouldn't be difficult at all.

Smurfs has always sucked. So has Marmaduke, Chipmunks (which were already "ruined for a new generation" in the 80's) Yogi Bear and Garfield. Quality children's entertainment is few and far between outside of Disney (even they miss the mark for decades at a time) because its easy to make shit and pass it off to kids. Hell, its easy to make shit and pass it off to most adults. It is a business and they want to make the most money with the least investment, so a shitty kids movie is perfect, and if they can pull in a few adults because they think their version of the same shit was great, then all the better. Stop thinking that your shit is better than this shit or the shit that came before, because its all shit and it stinks just the same.

He nailed Gargamel's character and provided plenty of laughs.
