The reason I hate this movie is because of the icon you're using right now drtooth if that series never existed and was the true under dog I may not have hated this movie so much.
Oh wait actully I take that back I hate talking animal cgi films..so nevermind...this is just another sack of crap like the garfield movies are to me.

Oh come on.. Jim Belushi plays

Spoiler:

*Drtooth* · 08-03-2007, 07:28 PM

Firstly, I have a thing against Jim Belushi. He has none of the talent his brother John has, though I hear he does pretty well as a Blues brother with Dan Akroyd, so I'll give him that.

Secondly, I REALLy hate talking dog movies.

Thirdly, I take my cartoons seriously. I wouldn't want my characters on a shoddy product. I mean, say what you will about the Bullwinkle movie, they paid attention to detail. Even to the extent of having them sing the Pottsylvanian anthem which was only sung once in one episode during the rocket fuel story arch (I believe). Jason Aleander even had Boris's receding hair line.

I mean, from what i saw they got every aspect wrong.

How hard is it to make someone look like this..

just slap a bald wig on him and paint (or color key) him green.

Realy hard actully considering they really don't want to do things like this in hollywood anymore...everything has to be ultra realistic even when it comes froma cartoon now. Everythings just way to serious in its looks making it in a real world setting then they try to make it all silly and cartoonish it just really doesn't work well together.

I'm sure this movie will be really good.

Like Alone in the Dark.

or Resident Evil

or Troll 2

or Roadhouse

or Click

or House of the Dead

or those Scifi channel movies

or Batman and Robin

Like, Really good.

hahahahahahahahha man those movies are AWSOME!

*Drtooth* · 08-03-2007, 09:42 PM

...or both Inspector Gadget movies.

To be fare, Disney did a pretty good job with George of the Jungle. John Cleese voicing an Ape named Ape. The onyl one better was Paul Frees, and he ain't doing much no more.

To me it looks like someone wrote a script about a dog super hero, and a producer working for disney said "Let's slap an already known property on it!"

Gotta agree there..I just can't see myself enjoying this mo matter how many drugs I was on, much I drank, or no matter how much money some one paid me lol

**GK Punk** · 08-03-2007, 11:22 PM

Same. It just doesn't seem appealing at all. I might watch it once it hits TV like HBO or something, but even that I am doubting.

*Drtooth* · 08-04-2007, 01:32 PM

I will give you this: In between seeing Underdog, Hot Rod, or Bratz, I'd go with Underdog.

Of course, add to the list "Have my man parts crushed slowly and painfully in a vice," I'll go with the vice.

(Can't Wait for Mr. Bean's Holiday though! I did a fan girl scream when I saw the ad for it on TV... AND I'M A GUY!)

Seconded.

Though I think Hot Rod sounds more entertaining than Underdog (though it equally sounds like Jackass with a script), I've had my summer film fill with Simpsons and Potter and feel that Mr. Bean would be a great bookend to it.

I saw the Mr. Bean's Holiday trailer attached to Underdog. It looked kinda funny but I've never quite understood Brit humour. Plus the fact that the only movie I've seen him in unfortunatly was Scooby Doo...

Hot Rod looks very dumb.

Next movie Im seeing is "The Last Legion". I at first was gonna see it cuz it's about the end of the Roman empire and Im into historical stuff...but I saw a trailer on tv a couple min ago and it seems the movie is more or less the origins of Excalibur. So an Arthurian link, which is fine by me.

The respect I said I lost for you? It's back! I'll never understand why Andy Samberg can freely ripoff Napoleon Dynamite and become a comic hero. he's not funny in the least, and I'm getting sick of awkward laughs.

plus, if I want to see a movie about a terrible stuntman who winds up being shredded to a pulp by his stunts going haywire, I got a DVD of the Super Dave Osborne movie.

It has been years since Rowan Atkensen (sp?) has been Mr. Bean. Maybe a decade or so. Britcoms have always been my favorite thing to watch on PBS (Sesame Street not withstanding) and I remember when they used to air Mr. Bean, the Thin Blue Line (forget the title, but it's something like that), and Black Adder (1,2,3 and 4) alternately. They air Monty Python, but it's been a while since they had anything else (though they just started running Fawlty Towers again).

*VaughnMichael* · 08-05-2007, 03:34 PM

there's other great brit shows on pbs also like Are You Being Served?, Keeping Up Apperances, & the canadian show I've loved for years The Red Green Show.
I watch PBS every week because of these types of shows even if I've seen them 100 times before the shows never get old to me and bring back so many memories.

*Drtooth* · 08-05-2007, 09:34 PM

Love Are you Being Served, hate Keeping Up Appearances. Mine also used to show the British Office and Coupling as well. I hate when they put on junk like British Cop Shows and CSI crap like that. We have enough channels with that crap on.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-05-2007, 10:00 PM

Always loved Fawlty Towers. My grandparents just LOVE Keeping Up Apearances. Seen a couple eps of that...it's ok..

I've already seen it and that movie is lame beyond words. I'm not a fan of Bean but I liked some episodes and when I heard they'd keep it more like the show (unlike the previous Americanized movies) I had some hope for it. Maybe Bean fans will enjoy it, I don't know.

yeah older folks tend to like this show allot I tend to find myself in the mindset of an old person and enjoying the company of older people so I guess this is why I like this show lol.
And I guess no one here watches the red green show besides me haha

Actually I liked the Red Green Show. What other show (except maybe McGyver) would have all those usefull ways to use duct tape!

Unfortunate that the series was cancelled last year. But there IS a spin-off series coming...it's an animated prequel about Harold as a teen.

Did you ever see the movie? It had em go to this duct tape convention in Minnesota while on the run from this land developer.
