They're making a Smurfs movie in 2010.

Why I ask you.  Why?!?!?

So? What's the big deal?

As long as it isn't live-action or 3D, but the good old cartoon style it started as, I'm not too worried. Who's behind it?

Yeah, Gamefreak, I don't see the problem with this. The Smurfs are awesome. The Snorks are better, though.

Who cares about the Smurfs? It wasn't even that great of a TV show in the first place.

Kids from the '80s, that's who. Me possibly including them.

I would say a line of dialogue from Donnie Darko, however, it contains a lot of cursing and other not so savory things.

Oh, my gosh! I used to watch the Smurfs all the time!!!  :D

I'm going to hijack my own thread and make it about a movie that ACTUALLY makes me want to inflict bodily harm upon myself.  Watch and see.

Love the new profile, gamefreak.. good stuff...

I didnt watch the video because youtube doesnt work here (child blocks  ;)) but on the smurfs topic, I loved them. A movie might not be so bad. Hopefully it isnt too blue.  (dont hit me for the bad pun....) :P

Oh yeah, they were planning on casting Steven Colbert as Brainy because they "both wear glasses."

Ha.

To correct fisk, USA Today suggested that colbert be nerdy smurf :D

But it'd be nice if there were descriptions of these videos that keep getting posted, for us who don't have your fancy high-speed

If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: darkphantomime on July 02, 2008, 03:19:09 PM
Purple. They have Blue blood, so blue  blood that can't refresh itself of oxygen turns purple.
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 02, 2008, 03:19:27 PM
It turns black. Since it's already blue, the blue that would result from the choking would cancel out the other blue, causing a total absence of color.

That's just my theory, though. It hasn't been proven.

That's completely off.  JQ is actually accurate.  Whether it turns purple or remains blue depends on how tight your grip is-- whether the rate at which new blood cells rushing in exceeds the rate of lysation or not.

How do you know that their blood is blue?
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: MagmarFire on July 02, 2008, 03:28:33 PM
I'm quite sure that it stays blue. I mean, hey, I believe that lobsters have blue blood, too, and that's due to it not having any hemoglobin in its blood cells.

All blood is blue until the hemoglobin attaches itself to oxygen.

Well aren't you smart?

Does that mean that Smurfs dont have to breathe if their blood is allready blue?
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: Keaton on July 02, 2008, 03:44:10 PM
...no.

Read a book.

I have. I just read A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway.

Yes...I-I know that.

But JQ said that they had blue blood, presumably as opposed to red blood. I was asking how he knew this. I don't ever remember seeing a Smurf bleed before.
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: MasterKeyX on July 02, 2008, 03:49:15 PM
That's becuase it is a children's show.

Things don't usually bleed in children's shows, now do they?
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: Commodore Axilon on July 02, 2008, 03:51:32 PM
Hence why I was asking maybe?

...and what I'm saying is that even red blood was blue at one point, and becomes blue again, assuming it doesn't undergo lysis.

WHY ARE WE ARGUING ABOUT SMURF BLOOD

THIS IS SO DUMB
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: Keaton on July 02, 2008, 03:54:30 PM
It's much funnier from a spectator's point of view to go from a Smurfs movie to an argument about biology.
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)
Post by: MasterKeyX on July 02, 2008, 03:56:21 PM
I'm going to go look up what lysis is out of curiosity.

In the meantime I think we should attempt to get sort of back on topic.
Title: Re:God help us....(Not a Guitar Hero rant)

Technically, we were on-topic the entire time.

Not quite, I hijacked my own topic and posted a link to a video that really did scare me to the depths of my soul.

The trailer for "Disaster Movie" scares you to the depths of your soul?

Maybe you should seek professional help.

It's a scary thing!  And it should be kept out of the reach of small children as it contains choking hazards.

Choking in the sense of John Bonham.

It would appear with the exception of one or two movies, that the movie idnustry really is running out of ideas.  ::)

A tiny organism that lives in a colony. The houses are composed of mushrooms. They wear pointy hats, and pants. No shirts. They are blue in appearance. There is only one female, known as a smurfet.
