Dumb idea of the month

I was reading one of the papers the other day and read that a live action movie of The Smurfs was being proposed.
I know Transformers worked, but they were robots, how the heck are the going to make foot tall blue creatures plausible and interesting enough to fill 80 or 90 minutes.
The Flintstones didn't work and you'd think they would have learned from that mistake to leave some things alone. Really, who wants playing Smurfette on their list of credits?
Surely there are more original ideas out there.
