Can I Continue on the Smurfs?

Really, why are the Smurfs all over the place? I just came back from a 2-week vacation with the future Mrs. and I am appalled how many ridiculous signs are all up all over the place. Who thought that this was a good idea? Seriously, I want to know.

It drives me crazy that I have to keep seeing these posters and dumb commercials for a movie I would say is bound to tank. Where are the movie critics and what are they saying about this? Someone, ANYONE!!!

Alright, enough about Smurfs and more on me. Did you miss me while I was on vacation? It was great in case you were going to ask. And no, Bill Gates did not give me a hand out. I paid for this one on my own. The truth is it wasn't that expensive at all. Then again, any extra money we have is really going towards the wedding.

So, are you dying to know where we went and what we did yet? I am sure you are, but you are going to have to wait. Running out to grab dinner. Consider this a teaser. Wait for it...

Well, I Thought Of One Thing...

Has anyone else noticed how many films they are making based off old shows are old movies these days? Is this really an indication that the high paid executives in Hollywood can not even think of new movie ides so instead they recreate the Smurfs? Yes, that's right, I said it.

Sure, sure I watched the Smurfs growing up! Who didn't?!? Smurfs, Snorkels, Fraggle Rock, you name it where always on my line up. They were hilarious and very appropriate for there time. Now, I don't care how old I am I can stand hearing about the Smurfs. Have you seem some of these advertisements around town or on the bus stops? I will tell you that I don't think Smurfette looks right and I am not afraid to say it. What makes it even worse is that they slapped on a bunch of ridiculous tag lines that might have been funny in the late 90's, but today just seem sad and misused.

So, I guess I did have something to share during my week of boring. I guess in the silence I was able to look past issues I normally face and get to see these horrible movie ads on a whole new level. Bet Gates would of never let the Smurfs movie go to production. Just saying.
