Gentlemen.
I wash my hands of this bullshit.
Also, someone was cast as a "giant princess", so maybe the adventure doesn't stop at Lilliput.
BUT YOU'LL WISH IT DID. >:C
Billy Connolly is in this movie, how bad can it be?

Methane gas bubbles.
I hate that people still don't know this.[/QUOTE]
that's still just a theory
nobody really knows for sure
:tinfoil:
Jack Black is okay, but I'm really angry they are using a great work to make this kind of movie. Seriously, why would you do that? Why not call it something different and make it somehow inspired by Gulliver in the film...
New movie coming out.
Great expectations starring Jonah Hill.

Wasn't he also in Boondock Saints 2?
Yeah it can be REAAAAALLLLY bad.
Not only are they butchering a book, but it has Jack Black in it.
Horrible.
Catcher in the Rye, starring Michael Cera.

I wish Jack Black would do more serious movies like King Kong.
He's got loads of potential as an actor that's being squandered away in shit like this.
Ehhh... This saddens me greatly. :gonk:
Gulliver's Travels deserves to be more of an Epic-Super-Badass-Quest kind of movie.
The book: :science:
The movie: :eng99:
Intellectual rape at it's highest form.
I remember walking through the hallway at the theater en route to see Toy Story 3. I was looking at all the movie posters to see what new movies would be coming. When I saw this, I stopped, and a bad feeling presented itself in my stomach.
Why does Jack Black look CGI in that poster? It's like they got real people to do the Lilliput-dwellers (since I don't want to mowed down by the Grammar Gestapo), and they just thought 'Oh crap, we forgot Jack was the centrepiece!'
Really looks stupid, I don't see how anyone could make a film like this and not be ashamed.
Hey, speaking of completely destroying famous works of fiction, all the while completely missing the point of them, in order to cash a quick buck off of a couple thousand snot-nosed pixie-stick addicts. Get this:
Animal Farm. Sly, sassy, joke-cracking CG farm animals play a series of hilarious slapstick shenanigans on old, cranky Mr. Jones to run him off the farm, including one where the writers show how hip and 'with it' they are by having the animals 'hack' Mr. Jones' Macbook to Rickroll him whenever he starts it up, and all the animals get to live happily ever after at the end. IMAX 3D for no good goddamn reason, Starring Luke Wilson and a handful of draftees from The Disney Channel. Universally reviled by every film critic on Earth and makes profit double it's production budget.

Suddenly I've gotta see it.
Jack Black is so fucking annoying.
I'm going to see this movie because Jack Black is my idol.
What's wrong with his face in the poster?

Wait, are you making this up as a joke, or did that really happen?
At least Animal Farm has one or two movie versions that DO stick with the book somewhat. One of them has Patrick Stewart as one of the pigs
[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;23915314]Catcher in the Rye, starring Michael Cera.[/QUOTE]
I'd watch this for all the scenes where Michael would be made fun of/abused. Dancing with the older women, getting beaten by Stradlater and Maurice, being touched by the teacher in a gay way, etc.

Don't worry, there aren't any plans to turn Animal Farm into an insipid kids' movie.
As far as I know.

I'm sure those controversial scenes wouldn't be present in the movie version.
It'd be a romantic comedy about a teen who doesn't fit in, but finds the confidence to get the girl by the end anyway.
Fahrenheit 451 would be about [I]kids[/I] who systematically burn [I]homework[/I], and learn a valuable lesson about doing your homework in the end.
3D again!
Jack Black was good in Prop 8: The Musical...He played Jesus
