Oh, yeah the Last Days are upon us.
Since some really brain dead people went out and spent $56+ million on tickets for Scooby-Doo they are making a sequel.
Fortunately it’s not due out until 2004, so there’s a better then average chance that I will be run over by a bus between now & then, so I won;t have to see this atrocity advertised. And if I do manage to avoid getting hit by a bus , I suppose I could just go live in a cave for 6 months.
Uh… relax.
I’m one of those people you called “brain dead,” since I went out and saw the movie (althought I only spent $8, not $56 million). I saw it mostly out of morbid curiosity; I wondered if it could possibly be as unspeakably awful as it looked from the ads and stills.
And it was surprisingly entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud throughout it. I guess at some point I managed to dislodge the bug from out of my ass, and realize a) it’s only a movie, and 2) the source material wasn’t all that stellar to begin with. It’s not a genius work of cinema, in fact, it’s a stretch to call it “good,” but there are some genuinely funny bits in there. And for better or worse, it feels pretty much like an episode of the show.
My only hope for the sequel would be that they realize what their target audience is going to be BEFORE they shoot the movie, so that it won’t end up as poorly edited. There are great big chunks edited out of Scooby-Doo, and from the rumors I’ve heard it wasn’t a big loss. Maybe by the time they make a sequel they’ll have realized that “Hey, Shaggy and Scooby are stoners!” and “Velma’s a lesbian!” type jokes are about 20 years old.
<--------------Going to have lots of kids to try to breed out the stupidity that wrought this horror upon us!
NRA members, shoot me now.
Wouldn’t shooting SolGrundy be more effective? After all, if there are enough viewers for the sequel, they might make a third movie! :eek:
(Just kidding about the shooting SolGrundy part, natch 
)
We just saw it today and I was totally expecting to hate it… but I liked it. It was sort of a parody of itself and it had several really funny parts. My son (age 6) laughed through the whole thing and the whole car ride home asked “remember when …?” “and remember when…?”
All right, that’s IT!
I want off this planet.
