that scooby-doo movie... wow, what kinda box-office disaster must that be? not only are they advertising it, like, on every network and using every ad angle imaginable (sign of a bad picture ahead--the romance angle, the comedy angle, the 'best buddies' angle, the family movie angle--and i just saw an ad, during a simpsons rerun, that hyped the soundtrack). so, let's review the filmmakers' strategy--first, make not only a modern adaptation of some washed-up retro piece of junk, but a modern adaptation of a cartoon, from the '70s. one that's cherished by hundreds of cynical, broke-ass gen-x'ers. now, make it a live-action/digital-animation mix. add a cast of nobodies. but when are you going to open this thing? why not opposite a star wars prequel?
wow, the
dad from malcolm in the middle is in this
seinfeld episode.
