Don’t like people who use “effect” when they mean “affect”?

Comment about it on a message board. 😃

I would expected this OP in another decade, but this seems a little premature.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; the only truly canonical, unpolluted _Star Wars_ media left is _The Star Wars Holiday Special_. Let’s see Lucas do that in 3D!

Man, that Yogi bear movie had a brutal [ending](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4-2cEt0hh8).

If Yogi and Boo-Boo don’t eat Sarah Palin in the movie, I’m not going.

But if you are talking bad movies based on TV shows, one day I chanced to see a movie length version of Ozzie and Harriet. Only redeeming feature: Alvy Moore (Mr. Kimble in Green Acres) came to the door, did a bit, and left. The rest of the cast stared at him as if they were thinking “Oh, that’s what it looks like to do something funny.”  
The OP badly underestimates the depths of Hollywood’s historical crapitude.

The beauty of many of the old cartoons was that they had 2 layers of humor woven into it so adults could enjoy them too.

This movie is so visually saccharin that it looks like someone hit a Disney pinata. Projecting this forward this could be the movie that gets remade in the future. The horror… proceeds from it should go to fund diabetes.

Just out of curiousity, has anyone here actually seen this? What did you think?
