Has it occurred to any of you that all this sniping about the film’s utter stupidity might be just what it needs to make it a blockbuster and cultural phenom? (See _Snakes on a Plane.)_ ---

> [@mobo85](#): > > Perhaps the Wayans are lost for ideas and plan to rip off Chuck Jones’s entire filmography. I look forward to their version of _One Froggy Evening_, except the frog who everyone thinks is ordinary but isn’t is one of the Wayans who’s supposed to be a dead guy but comes to life sometimes and only one guy knows it. And instead of singing the Michigan Rag, he sings the Michigan _Rap_. Pardon me, I have to go wash my brain. ---

I saw ads for this and the first thing that came to mind was, how are they NOT being sued by Warner Bros. for the shaving scene? ---

Has no one yet mentioned the asteroid? I kinda like Sergeant Savings (Damon). But I’m funny that way. ---

LOL. They haven’t even released it yet people, none of you have even seen it. Marlon Wayans actually did some good acting in the movie Requiem for a Dream. ---

I was going to start this very same thread, only mine was going to be in the Pit. That the movie was made is not the sign of the end times; that it’s going to be a monster hit is. ---
