OK Go recorded the theme song for The Muppet Movie and today they released the music video for it. I love OK Go and I love The Muppets, but I hate that song and video. It is a huge mess of crap that looks like Animal put together. Hopefully the movie will be better than music video.
Yesterday Harrison Ford was on Conan O’Brien and he told the TBS host that his wife Calista Flockhart cheated on him over the weekend and took their son to see The Smurfs. Hans Solo stayed home alone because his movie Cowboys and Aliens was in box office battle with the little blue guys and his film barely beat the little white pants off of them. So obviously Indiana Jones was not happy that his wife paid to see the movie with their son and they got into his movie for free, and contributed their weekend totals. So Conan let him take his rage out Papa Smurf and he Smurfed the competition. Morale of the story, don’t Smurf with Harrison Ford!
Today starts the box office showdown between Cowboys & Indians and The Smurfs; and Olivia Wilde is taking down her little blue competition in the true Old West style. During her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live the House actress revealed how she plans on having her movie win the weekend and she is not going to go down easily.
I think what we all learned from that video is you don’t Smurf with Olivia Wilde.
The Smurfs are getting a computer animated movie next August. So far we have seen Gargamel and Azreal filming next year’s blockbluster and now thanks to USA Today we are finally seeing The Smurfs!!! I think they look cool, but I don’t fully love them. Unlike how much Hank Azaria looks like Gargamel and the cat looks like Azreal, there is something about these little blue guys that doesn’t look like the toys and the cartoon I grew up with. Maybe tomorrow when I see the trailer and I see them moving, I will change my opinion. I just hope it doesn’t change up how much I want to see this movie. UPDATE: Here is the teaser trailer and I do mean teaser…
Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara who is also starring in The Smurfs movie Tweeted this picture of Gargamel and Azrael filming a scene for their upcoming movie. I so love that they are using a real cat to play Azrael and not using a robotic one. For some reason that gives the movie so much more street cred to me. Well that and how much Hank Azaria looks like Gargamel. Seriously isn’t that picture really cool. Only problem is when was the last time a kitty chose bread over a chicken leg? I know my pussy prefers meat over yeast!
Now when are we going to see The Smurfs? I can’t wait to see those little blue guys come to life when the movie comes out next July.
