That Ain't Right

So a new image has leaked from the upcoming Smurfs movie and I’ve got to say that it’s scarier than anything I’ve ever seen in a horror movie. Oh I’m sure it’s all grainy and grayscale because some staffer snapped a shot of a grayscale test still with a surreptitious cell phone or some such, but damned if it isn’t fricking creepy. It’s like a found footage horror film mixed with a children’s cartoon. That smurf just looks like he’s on his way from a multiple homicide, doesn’t he?

But … maybe it’s real … maybe the director snapped and is secretly making the torture porn version of The Smurfs under the masquerade of children’s entertainment. Oh it’ll have shiny friendly packaging, and a happy colorful first few minutes to get parents nice and comfortable, but then BAM! In comes Slasher Smurf with a machete.

Yeah, I’d watch that.

AIYEE!

Don't DO that - there's only so much my poor heart can take! I mean, I've watched Hellraiser and laughed my way through the old high school Driver's Ed. films - but THIS is too horrible to contemplate with drinking some very strong spirituous liquors beforehand.

In October of 1994 three filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Smurf Village while shooting a documentary...a year later their footage was found

NO! Not Smurfy. How the smurf are we supposed to smurf the Smurf Smurf if it is all smurfed up in that smurfing stupid super real looking animation.
Smurfs are supposed to be smurfy little blue 2-D characters with no discernible genitalia or skin texture. That little smurfer has visible lines on his palms. Ew. Also, that smurfing thing has he biggest smurfing feet I have ever seen. And no femurs. Just how the smurf is a smurf supposed to locomote with smurfing HUGE feet and no means by which to smurf them.
THAT, my friends, is smurfed up.

Lindsey, you just made me smurf my smurf all over my smurf!

As a child, I was insanely obsessed with the Smurfs, and seeing this picture makes me think I still am. I am going to have to see this in the theater, opening night.

That said, this Smurf looks less like he's coming from a multiple homicide and more like he's about to drive home drunk. Was there a Glassy-Eyed Smurf? I don't remember one.

You can't do CGI/3D smurfs! CGI/3D is freaking capitalist animation! the smurfs are freaking socialists goddamit!

I think he's cute. There. I said it. Fucking cute goddamn Smurf.

I once had a Smurf-themed birthday. Somewhere in the basement I have 50+ plastic Smurf figurines and a plush Smurf for hugging. My first crush was on Hefty Smurf--the tattoo, the attitude, oh yeah, even when I was young, I liked bad boys.

Then they added Grandpa and the kids and it all went to hell.

YOU SHUT YOUR SMURF MOUTH!!!

Fuck me! I just Gargameld my britches.

Anyone else getting a little smurfy looking at that picture. I mean, my smurf hasn't been this hard in a long time.

Posted by: superasente at February 2, 2010 9:30 AM

Holy Christ, this makes me think that they're tying up little girls, disemboweling them and having a Blood Orgy to summon The First Evil.

No matter which way I move his smurfin' eyes follow me. I'm officially freaked out. I need a hug...and an eye bleaching.

Slutty Smurf
Boozy Smurf
Psycho Smurf
Jackoff Smurf
Cannibal Smurf

Wanderer, there already is a Slutty Smurf. It's Smurfette. How do you think that they keep on smurfing? Psycho Smurf is the one that she won't smurf with.

Posted by: Melody at February 2, 2010 11:01 AM

I think that might be Hedgehog Smurf. Dude is packing some serious heat down his left pant leg. And you know what they say, big feet...big smurf.

I don't know about a childrens' movie, but these new Smurfs have all the potential of being a great horror flick. Now if they were instead remaking the 1975 movie "Trilogy of Terror" (y'know the one with the killer Zuni doll), then maybe they might have something.

Can you picture about a hundred of these little creepies coming to life, jumping off of toy shelves and swarming unsuspecting people to death? Kind of a roaming homicidal Lilliputian death squad. Bonus if they butcher and eat their kill. I wonder if Michael Berryman is available to voice Pluto Smurf?

Too much smurf. It has ceased to be a real word in my head (if it ever was.)

Posted by: Alexandra at February 2, 2010 11:47 AM

That is disgusting and should be killed. It is an abomination on the eyes.

A friend of mine and I, after getting drunk and attempting to watch The Christmas Cottage [there isn't enough alcohol in the WORLD], decided that all of Peter O'Toole's facial expressions in that movie could be described thusly: Peter O'Toole does not approve of this Smurf skullfuckery.

It has become our joke whenever something happens we do not approve of, and this, dear Eloquents, is exactly one of those situations.

Peter O'Toole does not approve.

Posted by: SavageCats at February 2, 2010 12:33 PM

I don't get it. I think it's cute. I mean...it's just a freakin' Smurf. It looks exactly like the toys I had when I was a kid.

There was a slutty Smurfette. She had black hair. You know, because blond chirpy Smurfette is the GOOD one and the brunette is automatically an agent of Gargamel. Fucking Smurf racists.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at February 2, 2010 12:49 PM

No, no, no Lindsey with an 'e', dark haired Smurfette and blonde Smurfette were the same Smurf. When Gargamel created her to infiltrate the smurf community she had dark hair...and she was evil...and kinda slutty. Then Pappa Smurf cast a spell which made her good and she became a blonde and marginally less slutty. Cause obviously a bottle of peroxide makes you all virginal and saintly (I blame Betty and Veronica for society’s belief in that little idiosyncrasy).

After re-reading that paragraph I realize 1) I care way too much about this and 2) I need to cut back on the coffee at work.

Thanks to James Cameron, they are going to do a 3D Smurf movie, aren't they? Just @#$% great. I suppose pervs in the audience will be glad when Smurfette's huge 3D boobies show up. The male Smurf has huge feet, so they would have to give huge boobies to Smurfette to balance things out, as it were.

Posted by: True_Blue at February 2, 2010 2:23 PM

The simpler-looking fake CG smurf at the top is actually way more likeable-looking (and looks more like the original Belgian comics and the cartoon) than the over-detailed leaked image...CG animators need to learn that for cartoon characters, "more realistic" does not equal better!

Posted by: Jesse M. at February 2, 2010 6:31 PM

Ummm... is it just me or does that Smurf have a BULGE in his little Smurf pants?

I am disturbed.

These cute little things will eat you alive while you sleep, first, they find an opening that they can crawl into and then start hacking away on your insides until the pain of internal bleeding wakes you up, just in time to die before you can call 911 because by now, they are tearing apart your brains and eating them with peanut butter.
