The Wee Democracy

DAMN YOU! part 2

anywho, i was watching me some reality tv tonight -- i had to find out what richard did to man-sue that would make her so p-o'd that she'd storm off the show. evidently, he rubbed his three-piec-set all over her. sicko. then the apprentice was on, and that nasty wiatch omarosa finally got the cobra-hand, and cried her way off the show. two dramatic exits in one night. innerestin'.

but what draws my ire tonight is a trailer i saw that managed to insult me in the first 3 seconds of broadcast. it was for Scooby-Doo 2: monsters unleashed. seriously -- who the fuck greenlights these movies? i guess what i'm trying to say is, godDAMN there is an overabundance of pure shit out there in the multiplexes. i mean, a few months ago there was that movie 'good boy' about the talking dogs. not that talking dogs aren't funny -- they are, especially if you're high -- but i mean, how many talking dog movies do we need? is there someone somewhere going "ok, it's been about a year since our last talking dog movie: that demographic must be getting pretty antsy." does that demographic really have such a powerful lobby? i'm sure the answer is a resounding, fuck no, man.

and seeing as how the original scooby doo probably cashed in alot on the nostalgic portion of the population who think that it'll be funny, go see it, and come out clamoring for the heads of the guys who chose cereal killer from hackers to play shaggy. and i quote the who: "we won't get fooled again"

scooby doo 1 and 2, good boy, baby geniuses, cody banks. does anyone wonder why movies like toy story and finding nemo do so well? could it be perhaps because they have a modicum of adult intelligence to them? could it be because they don't insult their small (in stature) audiences members? nope? maybe it's the fact that these movies are in production for years and real effort is put into them?

hmm....effort. there's a novel idea.

i mean, look at the simpsons. it's a cartoon, and plenty of kids watch it. but how many children are going to get the joke behind a store called "donner's party supplies"?




feeling: confused
thinking of: the best laid plans
song of the day: a lack of color - death cab for cutie
the girls in every girlie magazine can't make me feel any less alone. i'm reaching for the phone
