Jumpin' Baby Jesus, Please Don't Say It's Forever

Isn’t it funny that, way back when, when the first Shrek movie opened, it starred two of the biggest box-office draws in Hollywood, in Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy (and to some extent, Antonio Banderas was something of a minor box-office force). And now, all these years later, it’s pretty much the only thing those actors have left. And after watching the teaser trailer below for Shrek Forever After, you’ll see just how sad that is.

Ah, god bless fart jokes. And these are in 3D.

At least it’s supposedly the final one (save for the possible Puss ‘n Boots sequel).

Antonio Banderas wasn't in the first Shrek. Puss in Boots didn't show up until the second movie.

What, I have kids.

I still haven't seen the third one. It just seems unnecessary. I don't think I liked the second one all that much.

Fart jokes never get old when you're 5.

The first one was funny, the 2nd one slightly less, and the 3rd was tolerable only when none of the major characters were on screen.
I can't take a 4th. I imagine it'll be as bad as the Shrek Christmas special I caught a glimpse of the other day.
*shudders
I would love to see Eddie Murphy in a great comeback role. I thought maybe Dreamgirls would have done that for him. I don't mind the fact that he does family movies, but I want to see him in something edgier.

There's Pixar and there's everything else.

Errr, the first Shrek was new and funny. The addition of Puss in the 2nd was cute, the 3rd had....seconds of amusement. This looks like it will suck harder than Dragon on Donkey's balls.

Fat Puss DOES look like my cat...but, really, who likes a fat puss?

Posted by: dammitjanet at December 18, 2009 9:33 AM

Another one? I mean...I loved the first one, and I liked the second one, and I tolerated the third one (barely). But we don't need to keep rehashing the same damn concepts with "new" ideas...get a clue and do another damn movie and another damn character, damn you all!!!

Damnit! I know I'm gonna go see it, too, cuz I'm a CGI whore. DAMN ME!

According to my favorite Electro/Reggae monstrosity, Major Lazer, Jamaicans like fat puss.

Whorish Mouth...please tell you you're kidding about a Shrek Christmas special...


GAAAHHH!!! Why why why why why why why why why

Rednecks and black folks generally go for fat puss. At least that's what their singing/rapping representatives keep telling me.

Posted by: Kballs at December 18, 2009 9:50 AM

Come on, that looks funny. I can't help it, I'm totally hung up on Puss and Boots.

but, really, who likes a fat puss?

You poor, poor deluded fools. SKG has an arsenal of Shrek sequels in the planning stage:

The Five Pillars of Shrek

Shrek, Fiona at Six

Seven Deadly Shreks.

It will NEVER end (until people stop paying money to see them).

I can't believe they went for "Shrek 4 Ever" instead of "Shrek Sallies Fourth" as you had suggested. I thought that was about the best movie title ever. You'd think the very fact that we've been using that as a working title in discussions here for almost 2 years would have shown them that the viral marketing has already begun.

Posted by: PaddyDog at December 18, 2009 10:59 AM

Please, people, stop giving them ideas.

Posted by: DeadBessie at December 18, 2009 10:59 AM

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

What a waste of time and money.

I'm actually a little excited about this movie for the singular fact that Mr. Hamm will be in the picture. I could listen to him talk for hours. His voice makes me melt and I have no idea why! Hamm and Mike Rowe. Naturally. Discovery Channel knew what it was doing when they hired him to do V.O. work for all of it's shows. I've listened to Mike Rowe talk about Ghost Lab for chrissakes!

Maybe heaven is Mike Rowe and Jon Hamm reading the phonebook. Shirtless. And all the angels said, "Amen."

Yet another vaguely decent movie that did absolutely nothing to deserve a franchise. It feels so tired and sad now, much like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

I do like Puss in Boots, though. But not enough.

Posted by: figgy at December 18, 2009 11:44 AM

I want to go to Kayanne's heaven...

Posted by: dammitjanet at December 18, 2009 11:53 AM

At first, I thought I was reading a setup to some kind of fan made joke trailer, but now I see that you were telling the truth. How dare you ruin my Friday with this! You could've sat on this until Monday! Now I have to go into the weekend with this trailer going through my head and...*exhales* I just don't have the energy to face it anymore.

At any rate, it looks like Justin Timberlake isn't in this one and that's a plus.

Posted by: Peanut_Butter_And_James at December 18, 2009 12:12 PM

Oooh. You know who should be in the Puss in Boots spinoff? Mandy Patinkin doing his Inigo Montoya voice. He can be the hermano of Puss .

The fat cat sliding down the scratching post cracked my shit up, and I refuse to apologize for it.

Ha ha Jeremy Feist! Come sit by me. No need to edit.

Kayanne: I may have to amend my opinion on the existence of an afterlife based on your theology. Can RDJ and David Tennant be archangels and rub our feet whilst whispering ironic and innuendo laden sweet-nothings in our ears?

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at December 18, 2009 2:38 PM

OOH, OOH, OOH....Kayanne & LindsEy....

RDJ, David Tennant AND John Barrowman??? PLSPLSPLSPLS???????

Thats a divine trinity, if you ask me

When I was 12, we got a CD called "Shrek Christmas Carols" in a cereal box. It included 4 Shrek-ified songs (Jingle Bells, Shrek the Halls, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and the 12 Days of Shrek Christmas). It was PHENOMENAL.

My brother and I used to play it on repeat, at the maximum volume our speakers could handle, then open ALL the windows in the house and have parades (we each had a pair of cymbals). This was a daily routine. We drove our babysitters crazy.

Posted by: esme at December 18, 2009 2:55 PM

LindsEy & dammitjanet I have consulted with all that is holy.

(PAUSE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT!!!!)

Your inclusions are divine. They stand. So it is commented, so it shall be.

Posted by: Kayanne at December 18, 2009 3:41 PM

There's only been one Shrek Christmas special right? Are we thinking of the same thing? I remember that being pretty funny, at least on par with the first movie.

Posted by: Mick J at December 18, 2009 3:45 PM

So, does this mean I have to start living righteously in order to attend Kayanne Heaven? Cause that ain't going to happen.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at December 18, 2009 4:02 PM

Oh honey...I wish I was kidding.

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at December 18, 2009 4:06 PM

All you have to do, LindsEy, is believe in the mighty power of the chest hair and thoust willst be-st save-st.

Besides, why would you have a sexy heaven if you couldn't have fun in it?

Posted by: Kayanne at December 18, 2009 5:00 PM

I have to be honest: my love for Puss in Boots knows no bounds. I will see this. Possibly in theatres.

Posted by: Gabs at December 18, 2009 10:27 PM

Ha, Done! Cool, I get to go to sexy heaven.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at December 18, 2009 11:16 PM

Not gonna lie, I saw a trailer for this when I went to see Avatar.

I immediately - without even reading this post - started mentally screaming. I have low standards, but seriously, no.

I will say, though, @janet:

...but, really, who likes a fat puss?

You have CLEARLY not seen the corners of the Internet I have. (Here's a hint: Do NOT search the acronym "BBW." Yes, even with Safe Search on.)
