comments like that have no place on an AWN message board. This isn't aintitcool news.
What? LOL! You've got to be fucking kidding me. A Live action Thomas the fucking Train movie?
That is about the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Take the creepiest stop motion cartoon you can find for retarded 3 year olds, and make it into a feature length movie. Great.
And the Douchy Shane Acker? And the comedy geniuses that brought us Shrek 3? Wow. This just gets better and better. I'm sure this movie will just be fucking magical.
ITS GOING TO SUCK BALLS.
