Ok, I'm already totally sick of The Cat in the Hat
 

The commercials and product tie-ins are incredibly annoying.

Today I was standing in line at the post office and had to look at stupid CitH posters all over the walls. Apparently there is some sort of cross promotion with the USPS.

This is only gonna get worse isn't it? :mad:

...erm... yes...

. . . :o . . .

Yeah, this movie may very well be a masterpiece, but it's overexposed up the yin-yang.

I think it's sad considering Dr. Seuss was supposedly against the idea of exploiting his characters for marketing. Grinch was bad enough, but these ads are mostly awful.

:lol:

yin-yang... that's funny :D

:lol:

Thankfully, I watch pretty much no TV outside of Sports so I haven't been too exposed to the movie but the trailers I've seen look so obnoxious & annoying the movie makes my head hurt. I thought the movie is suppose to be an adaptation of the book, not another excuse for Mike Myers to dress up in costumes & make lame Austen Powers jokes like the snapping of his fingers & done to death head nodd or that "awkward" joke that are in the trailer.

I've seen ads for Swifter mops, candy, drinks and more. Let alone the countless ads for the movie itself.

Enough already. I actually want it to flop now...

I was sick of it within the first 5 seconds of the trailer the first time I saw it. I hope it flops and everyone attached catches the flu for a year.

rotfl

I do not want to see it for the following reasons:
1) It will be HUGE, and the theaters will be packed.
2) I despise Mike Myers.
3) I thought The Grinch was a turd.
4) It doesn't interest me at all.
5) The Cat wears a Hat, but no Pants.

However my wife wants to see it, so I might as well go to the park and list my grievances for the nearest squirrel for all it matters.

I love Mike Myers in Austin Powers, personally, but I'm already beyond sick of this garbage. If it's anything like The Grinch movie was, it's a spit in the face of all the real Dr. Seuss stood for.

Product tie-ins and cross promos always make seeing a movie less desireable. It also is really lame when an actor mentions his/her new movie when ever they're in front of a camera. Mike Myers is funny but there's just something about this movie that makes me want to spew.

I find the Burger King "Drive Thru" commercial where the girl reads back the order in a pseudo Dr Suess style to be particularly repulsive...

What's worse is it looks like footage taken from the movie, super-imposed over a Burger King "establishment". They just recycle the same old clips for different products... pretty damn lazy.

I'm shocked they bothered making this after "The Grinch"...

When I grow up I'm going to adapt Hop on Pop

Which made like 88 kajillion dollars and was the #1 movie of the year it was released, unfortunately... I guess that's why they "bothered." ;)

The Grinch was one of the ugliest, noisiest, most unfunny, poor special effects, awful movies ever made. Why it made so much money I'll never understand. I wanted to run out of the theater!

These movies squat over the memory of Dr. Suess' and take a big drippy diarrhea all over it. The people who make them should be punnished.

I hate anything Dr. Suess EXCEPT for the original animated grinch.

I'm buying the cereal.

I hope they do a movie of Green Eggs And Ham next time.

cry me a river! Do yourself a favor and lock yourself in a closet until after the movie is released ;) That's my 2 cents.

I'm shocked! That's twice in one day... I'm gonna have to change my medication... :D

Seriously, I had no idea it made so much money - what next; Fox in Sox? I can't fathom how they could stretch this story out for 90 minutes...(!!)

I actually liked the Grinch. Regardless, the Cat in the Hat looks dreadful. I like all Dr. Seuss too, and my school's library is named after him :) (UCSD)

a free movie is always worth it.

I was thinking the same thing earlier.

I had enough when I walked into a decked out Cat in the Hat post office. yech.

I still don't understand how you can possibly make whole live action movies about childrens books that take 15 minutes to read, they're forced to create crap to fill in the gaps

I read somewhere that someone adapted Where is Waldo? and that Spike Jonze is thinking about directing an adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are... I mean come on, talk about selling out.

The concept for a "Where's Waldo" movie sounds like a blue print for a Monty Python sketch (ala Meaning of Life" - offscreen voice "where the fish?")
