Jun 29 2009'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs': Do the Meatballs Really Need to Shimmer with Grease?
Starting the day off with some flesh wad precipitation, here's the latest poster for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. If you've been waiting for a simplistic, nearly plot-free picture book of your childhood to be enhanced by a storyline, computer animation, and the hard-to-justify inclusion of a monkey, this is definitely the movie for you. Or, if you just want to see me vomit in a theater, this is also the movie for you, because if you show me this many giant, greasy, disgusting meatballs, painful memories of the Ikea cafeteria are definitely going to make me throw up.

If you've been reading Geekologie, you would know that the grease is what makes them delicious.

When are people going to learn that just because it's CGI doesn't make it a good movie???

Shut the fuck up #6! Jesus Christ, no body in the whole wide world goes ooh, CGI, that means this'll rock. The film looks hilarious and interesting so whist until it comes out, go see it and only THEN may you complain. Got it?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say you're probably the type of person who thought Bolt and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs were good movies. A self-proclaimed movie "critic" who thinks Toy Story 2 deserves the 100% rating it received on Rottentomatoes while a movie like Shawshank only scored 87%. You also probably assumed Shark Tale was a good movie too, since it looked "hilarious and interesting" in the thirty second trailer you saw in between episodes of The Hills. Am I getting warm?

That is some of the laziest character designing I've ever seen. The guy is made up of almost perfectly even cylinders, with some blobby fingers added in for good measure, and the chick is the same waifish almost-Bratz-doll that's appeared in just about every CGI movie in the last decade. Including Pixar!
This is going to be the McDonald's of animated films. Not just because of all the junk food, but because it is the epitome of bland, generic garbage. It's empty calories. And kids will love it.
