Cool News
Baron Karza is in with a report on the script for LIKE CATS AND DOGS... which sounds pretty cool!
Hey folks, Harry here with Baron Karza. Ol Karza has been laying low ever since dropping the ol bomb on Arnold and his pals, but this time out he's raising the white flag and telling us of a children/family film that... well... read about it and see if you don't think this sounds like a ton of fun. This really sounds good. In addition it's going to feature the voices of Susan Sarandon,
Tobey Maguire,
Michael Clarke Duncan and
Joe Pantoliano... so that means it's got to have something up it's sleeve... I mean... Joe Pantoliano is a groovy damn soul ya knows?
Hey Harry, Baron Karza is back. I believe that it's been a long time
since I posted, the last time was to stir some controvery by reporting
on Ah-nold's ON THE SIXTH DAY, which I called SIXTH SUCK. With an
unprecendented string of flops (Costner-like) from Junior to Eraser
(okay, not a flop, but it barely made $100 million and did you see that
movie? it sure sucked) to Jingle All the Way to Batman and Robin to End
of Days, the Austrian needs a hit. That's five duds in a row. And
Sixth Day ain't a hit.
Well, enough of all this negative talk. I wanted to beep in with some
information about a great kids' movie, LIKE CATS AND DOGS, which
apparently just cast Susan Sarandon.
What a fun movie. The idea is that there's a covert war going on
between cats and dogs, a war that could effect the entire planet. In an
average American household, a father has come up with a cure for people
who are allergic to dogs. The cats fear that this might tip the global
scales in favor of the dogs, and set out on a covert mission to find and
undermine the formula. The dogs aim to defend the household from this
feline invasion.
Into this situation is dropped a puppy who has no idea what's really
going on.
There's some real inventive ideas in the story. Here's a ferinstance to
give you a sense of the storyline and the tone: the cats decide to
infiltrate the house by sending in a cute kitten. In truth, the kitten
isn't young, but is an older cat operative who's undergone painful
surgery to look cute and young. The family finds it on its doorstep and
takes it in. The puppy knows that the kitten's a bad guy, so he starts
to try to figure out how to get it outta there. The kitten, meanwhile,
coughs up a massive hairball which actually has a secret compartment
inside! He opens the compartment and pulls out some fake dog crap,
shuffling it behind the puppy. The family sees that the puppy has
pooped on the carpet, and he gets smacked on the butt and sent out
doors... leaving the kitten inside the house all alone!
So you can see that it's a spy game, Bond-like (okay, a bit more of Nick
Fury's Agent of Sheild vs. HYDRA) duel between the cats and the dogs
with humor for kids and adults alike. I'm sure they're angling to do it
live action with BABE effects. My ticket's already sold.
Over and out,
Karza

Cats and dogs don't hate each other. My dog spends at least 90 minutes a day humping my cat in the ass, and while the cat doesn't seem particularly thrilled, she doesn't seem to mind either. Unless maybe my cat is some sort of feline Mata-Hari, seducing the enemy for information... Or my dog is just a slut.

Boy does THIS idea sound like a dog. Not to mention that if they want to get it out by 2001, and have live action/ animation mixed--they're starting WAY late--which only means the animtion will SUCK! WHEN will Warners learn?

Harry, you're so right, I worked with Joe Pantoliano once and he is The Man.

Hey, maybe the FX already are in production... and maybe they're not just the same old "Babe" FX, but fully CG animals...
maybe. Maybe there's a whole slew of new software that's been written just for it, and the FX will knock your eyes clean out of your head. Might just be better than anyone thought CG could be... You know, progress - advancement of science and all.
Serious. Holodeck quality cats and dogs.
Maybe... shhhhh.....
