Mars Doesn't Really Need Your Moms After All

[daddytodd]

So, I guess "Mars Needs Moms" is now one of the biggest bombs in Hollywood history. $175 million budget, $6.8 million opening weekend.

I hated this movie based on teaser trailers a year ago -- and I was predisposed to love it, seeing how it's based on a book by Berke Breathed, of "Bloom County" fame.

However, I'm pretty sure Breathed's book isn't wall-to-wall fart jokes, which was what the trailer was selling.

The best fallout is the shuttering or Bob Zemeckis's motion-capture studio, ImageMovers Digital. Or, rather that, with, the closing of Zemeckis's studio, his motion-capture remake of "Yellow Submarine" has also been killed.

There IS a god!

I hadn't heard that any such abomination was in the works, but YES that's excellent "collateral damage"!
