Garfield..The movie

You don’t have to smell caca to know it stinks.

No no no…it’ll be an hour and a half of the camera following a CGI-generated dotted line, showing a path of all of little Billy’s misadventures!

It stars Jennifer Love Hewitt. I think that should be enough.

With Haley Joel Osment as the model for the CGI Nott Me.

HAHAHA! That’s quality.

I…I…Kinda, y’know…well…i think…I kinda…thought…that it was…

sigh
I thought it was cute, ok???
I said, I thought it was cute.

sigh I thought it was cute!

Yes, yes, I do realize…I-I’m sorry. :frowning:

Sadly, that’s exactly what they’re hoping for.

We saw a different trailer while we were watching Spongebob. This trailer made it look even terrible-er.

This strikes me as something Onion columnist Jean Teasdale would really, really, really, really enjoy.

Looks like hubby Rick will be heading over to Tacky’s on the night of June 11. And Jean’ll be stuffing her face with Goobers and laughing way too loudly at an orange CGI cat on the big screen in front of her. She’ll comment to herself on the way out of the movie theater how Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” was the absolute perfect song for this movie, cuz that’s what Garfield is: a wild thing!

And no doubt Onion columnist Jackie Harvey (“The Outside Scoop”) will report sometime in August about that great movie he’s been hearing such good things about, Garfunkle, starring the voice talents of the talented Bill Murphy, who many of us will remember as the first black actor to star on Saturday Night Live.

I read way too much Onion.

The one thing that struck me most about the trailer was how unfaithful they were to the Garfield. That cat is the laziest animal on the planet, yet in thew trailer there wasn’t one scene in which he wasn’t flipping through the air, jumping around, or dancing frenetically. Hell 20 seonds of the trailer would be more activity than Garfield gets in a month!

Even worse:

Some Hollywood producers have bought the rights to Hagar the Horrible.

This is not a joke.

Yes. Yes you do. inches away from Happy Lendervedder

Hagar the Horrible could be fun if they made it a cool Viking movie like The 13th Warrior. Not that that has anything to do with the comic, but when has that ever mattered?

My eyes are bleeding. That is the worst looking piece of CGI I’ve ever seen.

Hush your row. It’s about 300 times better than Dobby the Obviously CGI Elf.

Garfield? Hagar the Horrible? Potentially bad movies.

If, however, a Cathy movie ever hits the silver screen, I will swear off movies forever.

I was actually looking forward to this movie since I thought they made an EXCELLENT casting decision w/ having Breckin Meyer (sp?) as Jon Arbuckle. That’s just perfect.

But the trailers didn’t thrill me. Still, the CGI Garfield looks a lot more like Garfield than the CGI Scooby Doo ever did.

Sorry for the hijack, but “I am a Jeanketeer of the First Order!” and would love to see her cat’s autobiography made into a movie. It would probably be better than this one.

I’m emotionally scared for life. Okay, maybe not. But the film looks crap.

Christ. The only worse CGI i’ve seen is that Son of the Mask trailer, with the baby.

or maybe the Scorpion King in the Mummy Returns.

If they do Hagar, I bet you a tenner its either John Goodman or Tom Arnold as Hagar.
