mmmm...Nope. Not even a chance that I will sit through this. "Pretty innocuous experience" or no, not gonna happen.

Also: Danae deserves an afterlife of all Eddie Murphy for that 'first' bullshit.

uh, no.... I'm good thanks.

Elizabeth Banks? Elizabeth Banks?!

[clutches head]

I need a drink.

Am I right then, in deducing that his poop-chute is indeed a poop-chute???? Or a merely an emergency escape portal....

This movie is the final bullet into the black heart of Eddie's dying career.

I'd rather eat nothing for a weekend and then have a colonoscopy. Wait .. I AM going to eat nothing for a weekend and have a colonoscopy.

At least I'll be blissed out for an hour or two. Maybe they can show this in the OR? Conscious sedation is the only chance it has with me.

What's that? $18.4 million at the box office?

....oh, Bill Corbett.

...I'm going to listen to 'Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas' and cry.

Y'know, this may not have been the stinking cesspool that was Norbit, but it still didn't sound good enough to pull me into the theatre and away from the TV tonight - anybody see Keith Mars in Flashpoint tonight? I think I got the better part of the exchange...Murphy or Mars...hmmm..

This is getting some alright reviews...

But isn't this just the "Sperm Mission Control" sketch from Everything You Wanted To know About Sex*, only PG?

I so want Eddie Murphy to be funny and edgy again. If he had died after Trading Places, 48 Hours, and Beverly Hills Cop he would have been a legend. Is this really the same guy who used to do Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood?

Monitorman, you beat me to it.

If Bill Corbett wrote the script, do you think the movie would have been better if it had been done as a MST3K treatment (do Meet Dave as the movie Mike and the Bots riff on)?

My apologies to Bill Corrbet, but at this point, I will only see this movie if it comes with a written apology, a full refund, and one coupon to kick Eddie Murphy in the fun stuff.

I like Eddie Murphy. I didn't see Norbit, as not to poison myself against him. Eddie is like an old athlete. He should do a movie with Katt Williams.

He should do a movie with Katt Williams.

Eddie Murphy and Katt Williams star in "The Tranny and the Pimp Chronicles." Only who will play the tranny? Hmmmmmm. Let me take a moment to think this over.

Am I the only one reading this and thinking "Oh, Gabrielle..."? I mean, she was in 10 Things I Hate About You and Bring It On, two of my formative "teen" movies. And she was awesome in both! Although I do note, with some dismay, that this is my second "rush to the defence of a Bring It On cast member" comment in the last three days, which probably isn't doing a whole lot for my "film connoisseur" reputation...

Sixteenth!!!!!!!!!! (Seriously people, enough with the lame "First!!" declarations in the comments!)

You couldn't pay me to watch Eddie Murphy. That man has become such a sour jackass. This is someone I loved as a kid in "Coming to America" and "Beverly Hills Cop." To this day, one of my favorite things to yell out at random moments is sexual chocolate. But really, why do people pay to see this goon anymore. What has he done to deserve the working peoples hard earned dollars.

Only who will play the tranny?

Brooke Hogan.

It will be a comedy trio the likes of which has never been seen before!

Ahem, I guess I was actually SEVENTEENTH!!!!! It was at sixteen when I wrote my comment.

Meet Dave -- Starring Mr. Potato Head!

"Eddie Murphy is...Eddie Murphy." "Starring Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, and Eddie Murphy." "Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy."

I think Eddie Murphy just takes movies where the posters will say his name a million times.

Hey lordhelmet... how was Flashpoint? Missed it last night which sucks as I was looking forward to some Hugh Dillon time. Dillon is usually scary intense.

it's amazing how much leeway you're giving this film because it was written by bill corbett. and what you're assuming is that anything bad about it was out of corbett's hands. that gives the assumption that all he wrote for MST was good. and not, maybe, that he wrote a lot of bad for MST that was killed before it reached the air. (and/or that other writers were responsible for some of crow t. robot's greatest quips)

this is the same mentality that a lot of people on this site have toward will arnett. all based on one great role, there's constantly utter shock expressed at the consistent bad quality of his other roles. as if he created the character, dialogue and plots of Gob. to say nothing of the fact that everything else good about his performance as Gob may have come from directing and editing.

so "meet dave" was written by someone you admire. so what? it doesn't mean they can't also turn out crap. i love my grandmother, but if she wrote a movie -- even one that would then be mangled by brian robbins and co. -- i'd have to admit that it sucked without any apologies to her being my grandma.

at least you were blatant about your bias.

i'd just hate to think that any writer on this site is turning into harry knowles. ("well, my friend/someone who called me and pretended to be my pal wrote and directed this...and it is awesome!!!")

I am so glad that Murphy's movie career is almost over, so now he can join the chittlin circuit (for you white folk, the chittlin circuit is a group of black comics that play for predominantly black audiences) anyway. Murphy was very funny back in the day, but strangely enough, he started going down hill after being caught with that pre-op tranny on Sunset Boulevard.

Grinder, I for one liked Flashpoint. It wasn't excellent but overall I think, especially for a series premiere, it had strong casting, was beautifully shot, ok writing (set up some good potential for some character story arcs) and decent dialogue. There's strong potential for a decent series, however its longevity is in question depending on who you ask. That said, it's the first Canadian series to be run simultaneously in the States since Due South so perhaps there's some network commitment behind it. I think the next episode will better show if Colantoni's character will be a little less stiff and restrained, or if Amy Jo Johnson (cute for 38!) will be more than a concerned second fiddle. At times it seemed a bit slow, but that may just be laying the groundwork for something good. There's incredible attention to detail that may or may not be a weakness.

Anyone else see it? Am I close, or was I just overwhelmed by seeing it in HD?

I stumbled across this question on the Defamer comments section ad it has plagued my mind ever since...

Is Eddie Murphy the black Mike Myers or Mike Myers the white Eddie Murphy?

If the best you can expect from a movie is that it will only suck a little Shetland pony dick instead of a Clydesdale dong, it's time to go see something else instead.

I was hoping this would be amazing and no one would go to see it just because Eddie Murphy has squandered all of his good will; that my friends would be beautiful.
I just have two questions, I hear Ed Helms and Frank from 30 Rock are in this, any comment on them?
Also, I have assumed since hearing of this that they come from a giant Eddie Murphy shaped planet. If this is in fact the big twist at the end, feel free not to reveal it. Maybe he brings his love interest back and she sees that it's just a whole world of Eddie Murphys and it becomes a Planet of the Apes moment? A huge Eddie Murphy Statue of Liberty please, maybe even Tim Burton's Eddie Murphy Abe Lincoln.

Thanks lordhelmut! I am rooting for this show.
