(Shrekshrekshrek)2
I have watched Shrek 3 twice already. I don't normally watch movies twice unless there's new company or unless I have a DVD copy. with this one, it's the former. I thought I wouldn't find the jokes funny anymore but I still laughed at some scenes. For me, good jokes are those that make you smile or smirk when you expect yourself not to. Mabenta pa rin ang pinocchio-charming scene. spoiler below
Prince Charming: You! You can't lie! Where is Shrek?
Pinocchio: Well, uh, I don't know where he's not.
Prince Charming: You don't know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio: On the contrary,
Prince Charming: So you do know where he is!
Pinocchio: I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that I undeniably
Prince Charming: Stop it!
Pinocchio: Do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be. If that indeed wasn't where he isn't!
although reading it isn't as funny as hearing Pinocchio say it. :)
Wikipedia lists several cultural references to shrek 3. The following are for me the more interesting ones as, again, i am made to research more about them. spoilers again.
After smashing the second wall, the dazed Queen can be heard humming "A Spoonful of Sugar". Julie Andrews, who plays the queen, sang the same song in Mary Poppins.
The animal call that Snow White uses against the Talking Trees is actually the war cry from Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song, but the beginning is actually a spoof of With a Smile and Song from the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Disney movie.
When Snow White rips the sleeve of her dress, she has a tattoo that says Dopey on it that is referring to the seven dwarfs in the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Disney movie
Before Shrek and Artie have a heart to heart, Merlin plays the opening music to "That's What Friends Are For".
After Gingy's life flashes before his eyes, he sings "On the Good Ship Lollipop".
When Charming is in his dressing room, you can see the phantom of the opera's mask and costume.
At King Harold's funeral the theme song for the James Bond movie Live and Let Die is sung - John Cleese (who voiced Harold) played the second Q in the James Bond film series.
In the scene where Shrek is on the ship dreaming about being a dad, the stroller that rolls into his room is from the movie "Rosemary's Baby".

lam mo bang yung mga jokes na yan e ininfuse ng dreamworks para laiitin ang disney? dinidebunk nila yung theme ng disney na tungkol sa prince charming, beautiful snow white, or cinderella tas yung pagrescue sa mga ladies and then living happily ever after. Si shrek naman na ginawa ng dreamworks, hindi prince charming at yung center ng buhay niya dati e hindi yung pagrescue sa isang princess kundi yung maretain lang sa kanya yung swamp niya. tas yung ending, kala mo si shrek magiging tao kundi si princess pa naging ogre and so debunking the usual ending na "they lived happily ever after" by replacing it somehow with "they lived horribly ever after."
wala lang. anyway, check mo na lang to, hehe: http://acyantune.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/2007/06/todays_discover.html
