WE HATE IT WHEN HOLLYWOOD BUYS a GREAT CHILDRENS' NOVEL and TRANSLATES IT to the SCREEN AS ABSOLUTE DRIVEL. WHY CAN'T THEY TAKE a LESSON from the ENORMOUS INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS of the HARRY POTTER FILMS ( http://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?view=main&id=harrypotter.htm&p=.htm - ) and at LEAST PRETEND to HONOR the BOOKS THAT YOUNG READERS HOLD DEAR?? PERHAPS DIZZ-KNEE, BACK WHEN http://vpdao.iweb.bsu.edu/waltdisney.gif - WAS STILL ALIVE, COULD'VE MADE an ACCEPTABLE SCREEN VERSION of ONE of OUR FAVORITE NOVELS from OUR OWN CHILDHOOD: http://www.razzies.com/forum/discussion-addl-info-on-mr-poppers-penguins_forum530.html - . IF THEY'D MADE IT LONG ENOUGH AGO, THEY COULD EVEN HAVE CAST the PERFECT CHARACTER ACTOR as MR. POPPER: PINCH-FACED http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iNLtcc6dW9Q/S4CnJiygvvI/AAAAAAAAETM/aRUEblHG-Og/s320/Roland+Young+041732.jpg - . INSTEAD, AS HAPPENED to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317450/ - AFTER HIS DEATH, the ESTATE THAT HOLDS the RIGHTS to the MATERIAL SOLD IT to BE MADE INTO a VEHICLE for http://www.gadgetsandgizmos.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/jim-carrey.jpg - , STUFFED to the GILLS with CUTESIE-PIE CRAP THAT WASN'T in the NOVEL, and BEARING ALMOST NO RESEMBLANCE -- BEYOND THERE BEING PENGUINS IN IT -- to the SOURCE MATERIAL. WE WERE SURPRISED WHEN CARREY's HIDEOUS MOVIE of http://2threads.com/wp-content/uploads/img/blog/story.jpg - DIDN'T "WIN" EITHER of the RAZZIES® for WHICH IT WAS NOMINATED. WE WERE DISAPPOINTED WHEN CARREY FAILED to GET a WORST ACTOR NOD for HIS INDEFENSIBLE BIG SCREEN RAPING of http://c0181321.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/PHga5jhpNRuJjm_2_m.jpg - . THIS TIME, WE HOPE HE WON'T ESCAPE UNSCATHED. IF YOU'D LIKE to ADD YOUR OWN PILE o' PENGUIN POO onto CARREY's HEAD for MR. POPPER, HERE's the http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum-discussiOn-of-mr-poppers-penguins_topic5122.html - to DO SO...
