Those are the words I found on the Internet Movie Database while looking up quotes from the show to kill time. there is very little information available on this apparently. Little enough, I’m not sure it’s true at all. All I’ve been able to find online upholding this possibility has been the previously linked IMDB page, and this page which claims:
I don’t recall ever visiting FreezeDriedMovies.com before, so I really can’t speak for it’s validity. Thoughts? Doubts? Suspicions about how a Fifeteen minute show can make it as a hour and a half movie?
Personally, I’ll have tickets day one if it turns out to be true. I have my own doubts regarding if that kind of comedy will be funny for that long, but who knows, maybe they’ll churn out one hell of a script. Very little competes with Aqua Teen’s humor when it’s at the top of its game.
Don’t know if it would be a full lenght feature film type movie, probably not. I love ATHF, but it would be hard to see them do a movie of any lenghty duration without sacraficing something, you know, each episode only being like 10 minutes. Unless, they just wrote like 15 episodes in a row and would just play them back to back, that would be sick.
I believe the mods allow a member to BUMP his thread one time if it gets behind before its time. I still want to hear what other people think of the news so I’m going to do just that since this thread has gone from the top of page one to the middle of page two in a very short amount of time.
After Spongebob, I have serious doubts as to the quality of a 90-minute movie based on a 15-minute per episode cartoon. Things that work well in the shorter pieces don’t necessarily work at all in longer ones, and I’m wondering if the writers know that.
Add me to the list of people who don’t think it would work as a full length movie. Hell, half the fun is that there is no real continuity. They can do horrible things to the characters and next episode everything is normal. On a full length movie, once they’ve killed master shake, then what?
Well, I think Master Shake deserves a death that is long and drawn out over a period of about 74 minutes, like Pee Wee Herman’s death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer was. The ones that are over in half a second just aren’t that satisfying.
I could watch a movie about Frylock, and I swear I’ve SEEN movies about guys just like Carl. But wouldn’t there have to be some kind of, I dunno, PLOT for a big movie? And isn’t ATHF more fun plotless? I mean, shit just kinds of happens to the guys, and they deal with it. That’s the plot. Ninety minutes of it–too coherent.
Also, they don’t have closed-captioning at the movies and surely I’m not the only one who needs it to understand Meatwad.
BTW, life has become infinitely more filled with fear and loathing since I found out that Meatwad and Carl are voiced by the same guy. :eek:
There have been good movies based on shorts. Office Space is the only example that comes to mind, but I know there are others. I agree the writing will have to be altered and I think those in charge of putting fingers to keyboards will know it.
Bring him back like nothing happened anyways. Worked for South Park and Kenny.
Shaggy dog stories can work out in feature length times. Just look what Monty Python has done with an hour and a half, or the Coen brothers in The Big Lebowski.
Personally, I like to see Shake dish out the pain more than I like to see him take it. Where will I get my dark humor from if he dies? You know, if the creators don’t change the animation methods this will have to be ranked as one of the cheapest theatrical movies ever produced.
That’s the second thing that came to mind after “how?” Sure there’s a distinct possibility that it would lose something going from 15 to 90 minutes, but I think it’s an outright certainty that it would be DECIDEDLY BAD if they didn’t use the flash animation they normally do.
Or the puppets.
Or the cheap explosions they create whenever an item is dropped (eg the remote, cloned singles, etc.).
Whatever the case, a story with their origins would be cool, provided it fleshed out that disjointed sequence that comprises the end credits. A crazed Abe Lincoln summoning them based on Egyptian heiroglyphics and sending them to the moon in a wooden rocket ship, where they’re discovered by Apollo astronauts.
There’s a lot of before and after potential with that too. From the moon to south Jersey? That brings me back to my first thought upon hearing about this: how?
I predict this will be a box office flop, and bashed by every critic and his evil twin from a parallel universe, but then gain cult classic status on DVD when people start to acknowledge the great diaolgue throughout the movie and begin to tolerate it’s pace.
Shakzilla, the mic ruler, the old schooler
You wanna trip? I’ll bring it to ya!"
While I look forward to the movie, it miught suck. I’ll watch it regardless. And I really would love to see an origin, and the Lincoln backstory explained.
Well, if you’re gonna cheat your way through life, you might as well just paint yourself yellow, and run around like a maniac, and call yourself Bananaman. 'Cause that’s what you’re doing!
