Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was a children’s book from the seventies about a town called Chewandswallow where it rained food, written by someone who was probably really high. Sony made a movie out of it, and as you can see from the trailer below, they turned it into an origin story about how it came to be that this town rains meatballs. Pixar seems to be the only animation studio that can do kids’ movies without babytalking, so to speak, and since I don’t have any kids that I know of, I have hard time giving a crap about a movie like this. I’ll let FirstShowing handle it:
In comparison to Planet 51 [I'll have that trailer up later today -ed.], I actually want to see this one just a bit more. Something about all that food and the comedy, it just gets me. Though I’m worried that like Sony Animation’s last movie, Surf’s Up, it won’t be as good as the trailers make it seem.
Yes, you see, the food and the comedy, it really gets him. Fascinating, right?

Oh man, I can’t wait for PETA to protest the shit out of this.
food makes everything better… get dumped by a girl? food… read one of fek’s comments? food… trying to gerk the jerkin but can’t get hard? food
Are they positive that the origin story behind the reason a town gets pelted with ground up cow is kid-friendly?
There’s a town located at a fork in the road to relationships with me. It’s called Spitorswallow.
Isn’t H.R. Pufnstuff from Chewandswallow?
This is the third X-Files movie right? Mulder and Scully will get to the bottom of this. Cloudy with a chance of pedophile psychic assistance.
Brett Ratner is the Mayor of Chewandswallow.
Whe3n you’re a wop, it’s ALWAYS raining-a meat-a-balls…
OOOOH!
*grabs crotch*
So the backstory is this is where Guns N’ Roses retired after that incident?
Oh c’mon, guys… All that food AND the comedy?! Count me right in! Sounds like a FLOOD of laughs that’ll leave you HUNGRY for more! *softshoes off stage left*
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is when somebody cums in your eyes and then teabags you.
This movie is about my grandma, who likes to take her glaucoma medicine and watch old movies about kids at summer camp.
I’m going to have to ask my parents just what in the hell they ever read to me in the 70s, because this is yet another children’s book I’ve never heard of.
Al, Cloudy with a Chance of Back Bacon?
Brett Ratner is the Mayor of Jewandshallow. Wordplay!
The American Splotching Society is all a buzz, and the cross over sign ups with NAMBLA and Little Grils is swelling all ranks.
It will be released as Cloudy With a Chance of Tofurkey on the west coast.
This story is a little hard to swallow.
I was trying to think of a way to work tofu in there, MarkIt, thanks for the preemptive dickstep (because that was better than anything I was considering).
Abdalla (click click) Bandafun of Darfur thinks this is a bunch of horeshit.
Meatballs? No thanks.
I’m a vegan.
This reminds me of that one time I fucked my girlfriend in a public pool.
I came in my pants watching this trailer.
No wait, that’s just gravy.
I think I’m having a stroke!
No wait, it’s just raining burnt toast.
I’m gonna hang out at my local theater and hockey punch every person who describes this movie as a “spicy meat-a-ball.”
“The giant pizza is CHASING US?”
Well…I think that about wraps it up. *ties rope to sturdy beam*
Carradine, Out.
Mmmmm. Digital tatas seem to be as nice looking and as accessible as real Hollywood tatas, so that’s not weird, is it?
But is it going to rain weiners???
Speaking of weiners, new UP!
