Looks like your Liam in disguise.

Gay-hole?!

No title will ever be worse than REVENGE... of the FALLEN... or ATTACK... of the CLONES... This titles generic, but so are like 60+% of films Hollywood produces.
I didn't know how to properly pronounce it. It always came out as GUH-HOOL in the Disney Goofy voice.

Wow. Judging from the infantile
graffiti all over this thread, didn't realize I'd stepped into the little boys room.

I'm outta here.

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

This guy is cool.

He enters an article about a kids movie and dismisses a discussion as childish.

win

So, not only is the title now the most generic thing imaginable, but they've thrown a small wrench into the marketing by eliminating the brand recognition for those that have read the books.

Epic LAME.

I liked the original title a lot more. I would always read it in a generic Owl voice and laugh.....yeah I'm retarded.

Thank god it got changed.

Every time I saw that title I though it was the Guardians of Gayhole.

Obviously you have issues about your sexuality you haven't dealt with yet. Or you are 12, in which case, see the first sentence.

im sorry, all this guy is saying is he thought it said gaurdians of gayhole, im not sure that qualifies as making him homophobic. you need to lighten up.

I don't normally comment on these threads. I mostly just browse out of curiosity, but excuse me Mr. Liam for one moment.

I'm a gay person as well and you take yourself entirely too seriously. Once you deem a comment inappropriate or offensive you give it power. You begin to hurt your cause more than helping it and "vegabro" here was just trying to make a semi-funny joke.

Gay men and women need to have a sense of humor about their identity and not have a superiority. I make fun of my straight friends at times by calling them Breeders. Do I suddenly hate straight people? Not at all.

Sometimes, I agree, comments are offensive and the line is crossed. However, and this is really important, you have to examine it and see if it is coming from a place of hate or satire. Vegabro had a chance to explain his case and you should therefore be at ease he was not attacking you. He was poking fun at the public's distaste for homosexual titles and the hilarious combination of Gay-Hole. Not what I call my own asshole, but funny to think any gay man would.

Most of all you make us look like a bunch of cry babies who get our feelings hurt and need special treatment. Are you going to tell the teacher (OR activist group, or website monitor)? Hey, wake up, if you think that way in a world that continually hates our lifestyle decisions then I'm surprised you lasted this long.

Also, stop speaking for all of us. You make us look spineless. You are not in a place to tell people what is funny and what isn't.

So, in conclusion, I'm a man who is attracted to men. That does not mean I should point fingers and overact all the time like I'm constantly being persecuted. More importantly, you sound utterly insecure with who you are and you seem frightened by people who may not like you (hence the sudden of anger).

Sorry, I had to say something.

If anything, it sounds like you have issues. Anyone who has to find excuses to find a way announce their sexual orientation suggests to me at least an insecurity with their current predicament.

Liam thinks that if he can win this argument, that will prove that being gay is ok. Liam. I'm here to tell you that it is. Don't worry about it. What isn't ok is starting fights like some insecure bully who is beating up kids on the playground like his father beats him. Just take solace in the security of your sexuality. We are all cool with it. And the only reason we wouldn't be is if you keep bringing this up, scolding me from some moral pedestal. Just be cool with your sexuality and we'll be cool with it.

He was making a joke at the expense of the word gay. As a gay person, and a very proud one, I take offense to it. It's not offensive to you, ok great get on with your life. But it's STILL OFFENSIVE.

What is your problem dude?

And thanks for using my funny comment to try to prove to everyone that you're mature by using the two most tired comments in the history of the internet.

I say 'nigga hole' to my black friends all the time and they think it's hilarious.

Just kidding, I can't be friends with black people.

Just kidding, but seriously, calm down. He really didn't say the word 'gay' in a offensive way. It just seems like you're easily offended.

I was scouring the internet? How so? I read /film several times a day, you just happen to be there making asinine remarks that reek of small mindedness. For everyone that says it's not offensive , substitute if you had said "Guardians of Nigga hole". Yeah, suddenly it's offensive. Calling someone gay in a debasing manor is offensive and it's obvious from your first comment that was the direction you meant it. You are the same person that thinks it's ok to call someone gay/fag online because you didn't mean it "that way".
I stand by what I said and the feelings behind it. It was an offensive comment and not apprenticed or appropriate. Period.

As someone who has no stake in the matter, why scour the internet to try to put me in my place by calling my sexuality an "issue".

I let it go at first, but now that you are keeping at it, I really think that you should not try to defend something that you don't understand lest you make a horribly offensive statement like you did again.

Do you think homosexual people appreciate having who they are being called an ISSUE?

Grow up.

I am a staunch supporter of gay and lesbian rights, but how is saying the word 'gayhole' homophobic?

Homophobia isn't funny. Neither me nor my husband think so. Nor do any of the other of THOUSANDS of gay and lesbians who have to put up with small minded assholes like you every day of our lives. How funny is that?

im a big supporter of snyder, and will see this just on his name alone, but i gotta be honest: a film about a bunch of fucking owls sounds just god awful.

no matter how popular the books are, its tricky having animals as protagonists & all the characters. im not sure how birds will fare here. id bet against this one, but i hope the best for zack.

We were sent the above title change last week and we just received another this morning... LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE

LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS and THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE: THE LIGHTNING THIEF

More like PERCY JACKSON AND THE SORCERER'S CLONE.

If anybody should be doing adaptations of things it's Snyder. Can't wait to see more of this. Too bad about the name...

Adaptations of "things" ... by this do you mean adhering to storyboards with complete disregard to character development, pacing or effective actor-coaching?

Because that's great when your source material's set to go like 300 or Dawn of the Dead.

No so much when you're tackling Watchmen.

A children's novel? Methinks this guy sees Young Adult Fiction as an easy way out - (when in fact Y.A. authors are, by & large, more sophisticated storytellers than most adult fiction writers.)

My nephew read these books. He's a smart kid. He'll see Snyder messing w/ his favorite stories and he'll boycott this tripe.

Your nephew won't boycott anything. Let's get real hear for a second.

I held out on Potter films for 5 months because my young self thought it would interfere with the world I had in my head when reading the books.

First of all, a 10 yr. old can and DOES spell better than you do.

I AM being real here, b/c he's already boycotted Percy Jackson, on basis that it looked like a load of crap (which it apparently was).

These kids are smarter than we were at their age.

That's what Hollywood doesn't seem to ever understand.
(And yes, we complained about the same things when we were their age. )

After Avatar, Hollywood should not be afraid of crazy-sounding names.

What's crazy sounding about Avatar?

Anything that has 'The Legend of..." is totally hack.

Goes back to when the Weinsteins deemed it necessary to re-title all of their Asian acquisitions with some meaningless 'Legend of...' title.

Like they bought THE BANQUET, a period Chinese re-telling of HAMLET. But of course they re-titled it to THE LEGEND OF THE BLACK SCORPION, which made no fucking sense.

Yea, Legend of the Black Scorpion had to be the most retarded re-title ever done! What the hell were they thinking?

Don't mean to sound rude about it, but I've never heard of this book, and it sounds pretty lame from the description.

hey a source told me the trailer will be attached to Alice in USA. Can't wait!

Another instance where Hollywood thinks they are genius and the audience are idiots. Guardians of Ga'Hoole sounds loads better than the new lame title.

For the most part the audience are idiots. It works because people do pay for it.

For the most part you can make movies that adhere to balance sheets of target demographics, dumbing down your script & locking step with marketing - and your superiors will love you b/c it means you're easy to work with, and see things the way they do - that their customers are wrong.

But it doesn't make you a good filmmaker.

Retarded title. I don't know the book series but 'Guardians of Ga'Hoole' just sounds COOL. Very mysterious. It makes me want to know just what is this 'Ga'Hoole' and who are these beings who guard it? And WHY are they guarding it, and from WHOM? It kinda has shades of 'The Secret of NIMH'.

'The Legend of the Guardians' sounds like a shitty Playstation 1 game.

this has to have blood and gore right

it is Zach Snyder
