So, we remember that Slender Man movie talk, yeah?

Here walks the next meme to film:

http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/31/grumpy-cat-goes-from-meme-to-movie/

Move over Garfield, Grumpy Cat is making the move to movies.

Grumpy Cat –the king of the internet cat meme – is breaking off from the computer screen and heading to the silver screen. Grumpy Cat’s agent has sold a one-picture deal for a Garfield-like feature film in which Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, will star and, yes, talk. Grumpy Cat is no stranger to the camera. The grouch’s official You Tube Channel has over 120,000 subscribers and over 20 million views.

While some may be surprised about the meme-to-movie path, Grumpy Cat is one of the most successful internet memes around. “This started off as a picture of a cat, but rare is an image that evokes that much comedy,” Todd Garner, one of the producers of the Grumpy Cat film told Deadline. “You read all of the memes and the comments, and one is funnier than the next. We think we can build a big family comedy around this character.”

Well, this will be just like Fred. But it's going theatrical.

Well fuck it, they might as well just make "Meme: The Movie" at this point. I mean, I can see how they can make a movie about the Slender Man, seeing as it has something of a story built around him, but Grumpy Cat?

Safety Not Guaranteed was apparently pretty good, and that was based off a meme. Still, they better work really hard for a good Grumpy Cat film.

[up][up][up] Safety Not Guaranteed is a complete waste of time because it was just some indie hipster-appealing comedy instead of the awesome action movie people probably wanted from those awesome YTMND pages narrated by Don La Fontaine.

So, uh... it's here. And Grumpy Cat is voiced by Aubrey Plaza.

It kinda has this weird... Homeward Bound vibe. Maybe because of the whole "Animal character voiced with no CGI lip-sync."

I have no problem with the premise of the movie.

From the look of the traier, though, I have my doubts...simply because Tardar Sauce doesn't sound deadpan enough.

Personally? If only he wasn't too expensive to cast, Robert Downey Jr would have made a better Grumpy.

Watches the trailer in its near entirety

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Hollywood has finally lost their shit.

Sees that it's actually a holiday lifetime special, NOT a movie

This is the greatest Lifetime xmas special I have seen.

Really what it boils down to is I have very low expectations for Lifetime in general, so this can only go up from here. If only the Angry Birds Movie could turn out to be actually a Nickelodeon special too.

Wow, this is a thing. It's really gonna happen.

Also, Grumpy using that "machine gun"...[lol]

My only complaint is probably about the Christmas' vibe. Surely the cat would hate that.

[up][up]Suddenly, I'm thikning of something like Reservoir Cats, starring various memetic cats.

Honestly I think its better that its a low-budget Lifetime special instead of some ridiculous big-budget Hollywood "blockbuster". A funny little Christmas special is fine, we don't need an Internet Meme Movie that cost billions to make.

I see somewhat of a chance that it could turn out to be clever, but ultimately I'm expecting to have most of its wit used on one-liners while the plot itself is merely a Better than a Bare Bulb sort of deal.

Saw the trailer for that. Looks like the dumbest, most pretentious piece of crap I ever saw.

Because trailers are perfect indicators of a movie's quality.

Back when I said that, though, I said "apparently" because I was assuming based on its 91% RT score. I have yet to see the film, but might get the chance to do so this month.
