Jun 5 2009New Films Recognizes Universal Love of Whales
Watch out, Simon Wincer, Dwight H. Little, Sam Pillsbury, and Will Geiger, directors of Free Willy, Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, Free Willy 3: The Rescue, and Free Willy 4, respectively--there's a new director looking to take home the crown of Guy Who Made a Whale-Centric Drama.
He's Just Not That Into You director Ken Kwapis is in final negotiations to helm Everybody Loves Whales, a film that will finally recognize that the aquatic mammals have the same level of adoration as Ray Romano. Says Variety:
[Warner Bros.] bought the script, written by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, in April. It's based on the story of three California gray whales found trapped in the Arctic ice in October 1988, when their plight created a media circus in the tiny Alaskan town.
Enough whale positivity films like this and we may yet encourage enough whale goodwill to save future generations the task of having to travel back in time to rescue the giant beasts.

"travel back in time to rescue the giant beasts."
I read that as rescue the giant breasts. Which actually sounds like a way better movie.

I can't decide which is better, the picture or the Star Trek reference...No, wait. The picture is better. By a long shot.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "WTF?"

Dear Pat (#4),
As a Pseudo Psychologist (PhD), I need to understand if you are male or female. Here are some tips for you (which I learned getting my degree in biology) to help solve the mystery:
1. Do you have protruding genitalia between your legs?
2. If not, does that area have an odour akin to bleu cheese?
3. When you see an attractive female, do you rudely point, but not with your hands?
4. When you see an attractive male, do you....whatever it is girls do?
This is important. Why you may ask? Well, I must speak frankly. You do NOT speak for everyone on here when you ask, "WTF?" Okay? I happen to like whales. I NEED whales. Whales are my life. Being an Oceanographer and an Ichtyologist puts me on the outside of society, but people like you make me want to....ask to have your comment erased from the postings. Truly offensive.
Pat, male or female, you are a waste of precious air. I wish I could go back in time and tell your mother that if she does it with your (to be) father, that she would grow a penis of her own....on her forehead. THEN we wouldn't have to put up with retarded posts like yours.
God have mercy on us all.

Since they rebooted Star Trek, they may not end up traveling back in time to save the whales, so now the Earth might be doomed!!!! Damn you inter-galactic space travelling whales!!!!!!!
