It’s been a bad, bad day for me so far, folks–the kind of day that’s got me about one more catastrophe away from throwing up my hands and retreating to Olive Garden for the rest of the afternoon.
My newest problem is the release of a poster over at PVC Blue, a promotional one-sheet for the upcoming Smurfs movie. Yeah, you read that right–UPCOMING. SMURFS. MOVIE. And by the looks of it, this strange little wonder will be in theatres just in time for Christmas of 2010.
I don’t know what to say, really I don’t. Granted, one of my earliest movie memories is going to see The Smurfs and the Magic Flute with my folks when I was like four or something, but come on…do we REALLY need the Smurfs back in action? That’s so very…not smurfy. If it were any less smurfy they’d have to invent a whole new classification of nonsmurfiness to adequately classify it.
It would require the existence of Nega-Smurfs. They’re all bright red.
Of course, it could pick up, assuming that maybe Gargamel gets some actual powers for a change and maybe for once poses a genuine THREAT to the little blue folk…but chances are that won’t happen anyway.
Ah well…a former Smurf watcher can dream about them maturing too, can’t he?
