Quote from: Find Your MagaliThe "Cat in the Hat" preview looked fairly dreadful. Can't believe there's a sequel already. Wish Myers would do something else....

Absolutely.  He needs to make a spoof of Bond flicks and include a character that says, "yeah, baby" and "let's shag" over 1000 times.  

That would be awesome.  And when I say awesome, I mean totally sweet.

Why, God, why?????

And how does Anthony Anderson find time to shoot a TV series and still be in 20 movies in a year?

The trailers for Cat In The Hat make me gag.

Yeah, what the hell happened to the Sprockets movie? I was actually looking forward to that. That one had a light that changed from green to red, apparently.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Oh man, that was a huge debacle. Myers and Universal ended up suing each other, shit happened, and The Cat In The Hat is basically the result...

what a horrifying result.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

So nobody here will be seeing The Cat in the Hat?
They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death... everyone. The weight of a stack of nickels. The weight of a chocolate bar. The weight of a hummingbird...

I think I'm the only one who'll be seeing it.

I sort of wanted to see it when I first heard about it, but hearing all this makes me wonder.  The trailer LOOKS good, but they can't seriously think they'll succeed in stretching a children's book into a feature-length film.  The Lorax was one of Seuss's last and best books, and it was made into a GREAT animated short feature (if you call it that).  I shudder to think if they ever try to do a live-action Lorax.  I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.  Or better yet, The Butter Battle Book.  Someone stop me.  Feh.

The Project Greenlight films should never have been greenlit...

...or the show itself. It is to film what American Idol is to music; a hindrance, not a help.

I'll still be seeing the Cat in the Hat but it depresses me. Carrey and Myers are Canadian idols of mine and grew up about 45 minutes away from me. It's depressing watching them disguised as Seuss creatures with bad scripts.

:o No fuckin' way!

... But Austin Powers was funny. Fat Bastard, on the other hand, got on my nerves after a while.
