Special note to Will Smith and company: ENOUGH ALREADY.

Yes, it’s apparently true that for some reason (probably a desperate push for more money) there will indeed be a Bad Boys 3.  What is this, Old Home Week for Martin Lawrence?  First it’s Big Momma’s House 3, now we wind up with Bad Boys 3?  And yes…just in case you might have held out hope, Michael Bay is hoped by the studio to be back directing.

This means you at least know what to expect going in–plenty of explosions and special effects with short shrift given to anything that might accidentally resemble a coherent plotline.  But at least you know what to expect, so I figure that if this sucker manages to get off the ground it’ll either be a summer movie or dumped neck-deep in January.  There’s no word on script or release date or anything like that; everything’s still real early stage.   It might take us until 2011 to get this one in theatres, so brace yourself just in case.
