+1 - the only way I want to watch Sarah is if she returns to film and gets naked and buck wild!! Maybe she could be a guest on True Blood and have a vampiric lesbian scene with Anna Paquin! Now, that would be something to see!!!!
But Smurfs? Are you kidding me? Who the hell wants to watch that sh!t?

No, he did not.
Oh yeah, well 30% of people thought, "Huh, a Fern Gully remake?" (Not as many people remember Fern Gully without being reminded)

"How much further, Doctor Grace?"
"Not far now, my little Avatars"
"How much further, Doctor Grace?"
"Not far now, my little Avatars"
"How much further, Doctor Grace?"
"It's VERY FAR, my little Avatars"
(If you thought that was annoying to Papa Smurf when they just went on a short trip, imagine Dr. Augustine on a trip of several light years...)

That's funny, because FernGully doesn't just resemble the Avatar (the Pandora one) in plot, it's subtitle resembles the Avatar series (FernGully - The Last Rainforest)

And the script! The Muppets Take Manhattan meets Home Alone 2 meets Stuart Little 2 in a blender?! Oh bliss upon bliss! If only I could inject this shimmery blue celluloid concoction directly into the vein leading to my brain!
In keeping line with Hollywood, they wanted the smurfts to be edgy for today's audience...
Just saw this rant/commentary by the screenwriter who was tasked with writing for the Fraggle Rock film. He's complaining how the studio came back saying the script needed to be edgier...
Edgy... Fraggle Rock?! Nooooo!!!!
Wow. Never seen a blog make its point so convincing with its hyperlinks.

This was my exact thought when I first watched it.
BTW, loved Fern Gully.

Spoilers!Jesus! that movie is like 10 years old now, I'm not going to spoil that, either you weren't interested in seeing it and my non-spoilered info made you change your mind, or you were interested in seeing it, which means by now you've seen it. If you're indiferent (the only reason you wouldn't have seen it by now) then it doesn't matter.
I'm also not going to spoil that Vader is Luke's Father, You can't look at the Ark of the Covenant, and they still lose the trial in to kill a mockingbird.
Your answer made me lol.

Cruel Intentions is probably her best big screen movie.
And even that is nothing but a pale imitation of Dangerous Liaisons, a much better telling of the same story.

Back in the mid 90's, I was the first to write the summary for Ferngully on IMDB. Let that be my only great act in this life. No wait... I was the first to hit Mazes and Monsters too. Perhaps the finest film of the 20th century... eclipsing Star Wars and Citizen Kane in its world blotting umbra.
Why does it say Lokarr after my name you ask so insistently? Why I'll tell you. Because I thought it would be a cool last name and considered changing it legally. But then, I researched and found that a lokar, to the norse of long ago, was a planing tool. I figured having TOOL in my name, even conceptually, was probably too easy a mark to hit.

Mr. Fishy though huh, what do glow in the dark blue people taste like?
