SHREK FOREVER Trailer Promises Neverending Boredom
Who is actually still supporting this franchise? I literally refused to watch any of the Shrek films after a disastrous screening of the first film way back in 2001. I sat there in the theater that day, surrounded by little kids, appalled by the masturbation jokes playing out onscreen. As anyone knows, I enjoy dirty jokes and outright nastiness as much as the next red-blooded American male, but there happens to be a tiny, molding crumb of morality inside me that thinks such things shouldn't be marketed to kids. Besides the obvious dirty jokes laced like cyanide throughout the film, the animation itself was ugly and drab, and the characters visually unappealing. I couldn't stand the use of one of the three international voices "comedian" Mike Myers specializes in (this time Scottish, for some reason) for the title character, either. In other words, I absolutely despised the film. The other Shrek films came and went without me seeing them, and my life gradually eased into a blissful ignorance of the Shrek franchise. Until now. Another Shrek movie is headed our way, and a new trailer promises to bore the hell out of everyone who pays to see it. My first reaction involved the look - have they not managed to make any improvements in the animation after ten years?? This trailer shows off some of the lamest-looking animation since Hoodwinked. The boys at Pixar must be laughing themselves to sleep tonight after seeing what their low-rent competition is producing across town. For all of you pathetic, mindless Shrek fans out there, I present the first worthless trailer advertising the final grimy widget rolling out of the Shrek smut factory. May everyone involved rot in hell.
