The most fossil comedy of any age

Ice Age 3 by C. Saldanha and M. Thurmeier

is a "3 hours movie": because as a super-blockbuster is super-seeded on the torrent and it takes 1 hour and a half to download it; then you watch it for 1 hour and a half. Then you delete it.
It's so difficult for a number 2 to bear the weight of a movie that it's believed to deserve a sequel; that's about impossible for a nr. 3. As for the Shrek saga, this nr.3 is the best one to see; and just like that, almost unbearable in its abysmal, self-congratulating TVness, without a single fresh idea from the beginning till the end. The way-too-human characters of Ice Age here found themselves so out of initiative that they had to re-discover Jules Verne in The Lost World - but in a very spielbergish way- and the always catchy joys n' worries of motherhood, happy dino puppies included, plus an English seafaring pop-eyed critter. For free.

is Jurassic Park; at 31:30


The Flintstones; now, that should be illegal.

Believe it or not, they even use the helium voice as a gag; I just don't want to know what these people could do when they party.
