Is Everyone On Crack About SCOOBY DOO'

Published at:  May 08, 2001 10:39:56 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... So Robogeek and El Cosmico called me up to tell me they had just seen a report about SCOOBY DOO on E! Television.... I rolled my eyes... groaned a bit... They asked me if I would be interested in seeing the report as they had apparently digitized it for the world to see...



After hours of bitching and moaning about what a load of excrement I thought the film was going to be, they finally convinced me to download it.




CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD IT!!!



First off, there is the instant gag reaction to looking at the visage of Freddy Lillard & Matt Prinze Jr... The set, as photographed by E! isn't nearly as spectacular looking as it was described... Looks like cheesy by the book Haunted House fare... The blue and yellow and purple gels casting light all over the place inspired the wrong sort of fear in me.



Then Buffy begins talking, and dear God... I couldn't believe what I was staring at. Finally E! really focuses on the one worthwhile aspect of SCOOBY DOO as shat out by Warner Brothers! This is excellent! I'm inspired... thrilled... titilated even...



All I know, is I'm not going to believe a single positive word about this film until the test screening reports come in from LONG TERM MOVIE SPIES.... and I mean LONG TERM GUYS & GALS...



Word is leaking out that the Charlie's Angel chief scribe performed magic on the SCOOBY DOO script to make it KICK ASS..... Attention... Movie Spies... If you have this script, and you do indeed think it kicks ass, then by all means, I'd love to take a look. I'd love to not be a cynical ass on this project. I'd love to not think of it as being anything more than the diarrhea of Hollywood.... In the meanwhile, check out the brilliant report that Robogeek and El Cosmico found and posted!

    This movie is going to rock yer socks off!!

    by psyberia

    Oh, man. I cannot wait for this movie. It's been a dream since I was three years old! To have my favorite actor, Freddie, playing who else? Freddie. And Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne is the ultimate cream dream. However, I want to shake the hand of the genius who casted Matt Lillard as Shaggy! No one else even came close as a possible choice. Masterful work at the studios I tell ya! My prediction: this will be the movie that will set the standard for other TV-to-movie movies.

    by regicidal_maniac

    No doubt about that, they are definitely breasts. Seriously HK calm down, you'll strain something. The movie can't help but suck it has been doomed by being filmed at Warner Bros Movie World. Nothing, and I mean nothing good has come from that place. The Phantom, Fortress 1 and 2 and so on WB Movie World is the Kiss Of Death to any production. I's rather they focus their attention on the Gilligan's Island movie.

    FIRST MOTHERF*CKERS!!! (and, dillrod...) ;)

    by dillrod deluxe

    Scooby-Doo is a pile of poo, and Sarah Michelle Geller should be piddled upon by the Wu-Tang Clan, while Freddie Prinze Jr. (who should REALLY follow in his fathers' footsteps and shuffle off this mortal coil) needs to be gangraped by a bunch of extras from the Planet of The Apes remake. The cartoon may or may not have been a classic, but one thing that we can be certain of, is that any so-called "actor" under the age of 25, that got his/her "break" in TV, OR, a teen marketed comedy movie...well, those infortunate souls should be immediately culled, and put out of misery. Any and almost all of these "young hollywood" types should be ground into Grade D meat flavoed grist for the mill. There's more culture and substance in my toilet bowl, the morning after a beer bender with a Taco Bell Nightcap Dillrod!!!

    Ingenious casting

    by ninjaassassin69

    Personally, I would have thought Freddie Prinze, Jr. would have made a good Freddy and Matthew Lillard would have made a good Shaggy. But, after this AICN report from Harry and the gang, my naivitivity is now apparent. Casting Matthew Prinze, Jr. as Freddy and Freddie Lillard as Shaggy is the most ingenious casting to come out of Hollywood in years. Someone needs to give those studio execs a pat on the back for a job well done. And someone clap Harry on the back too for breaking this story. (For those that can't pick up on sarcasm, this was sarcastic, sheesh). NinjaAssassin69 out.

    by johnny drywall

    Harry, if you're going to be co-opted at least have the dignity to do it with hint of subtlety. Your 180 Ollie kick-flip for "Scooby Doo" may be impressive to Lorenzo and his marketing hacks but we can see the fucking wires man. Please...TRY to hide it from those of us that believed that there could be a site that reflected the thoughts, hopes and passions of people who celebrate and revel in the truly great achievements in film. At least you would have fooled a couple of us into continuing to believe in you and subsequently impress the good folks at Warners with how savvy and effective you are at "steering" all of the kids and geeks who, because of our love of movies and our trust in you, come here seeking somekind of objective guidance and support, towards the studio's financial abattoir. I take a small bit of solace that the betrayal of my belief in you came at the high price of a round trip ticket and a "Viva Rock Vegas" shot glass...cheers my friend, you have sold out your friends. I just feel bad for you that you didn't figure this out sooner...then you would have gotten to see the ranch...I mean, at the end of the day what do Moriarity's feelings really matter?.......Be vigilant.

    Johnny Drywall -- Ahem... Riiiiiight

    by headgeek

    Johnny, could you pass the bong, cause that's some powerful shiiiiiit you're smoking there. First off, I feel that SCOOBY DOO is going to suck harder the the vacuum of space itself. I believe that every single fucking report I've seen online from the set is the result of a very carefully orchestrated press conference by Warner Brothers... I don't believe that any 'polish' of that piece of shit script could make the film anything more that shit, but with whole peanuts in it. And as for a roundtrip ticket to the SCOOBY SET... I'd gladly accept the muther, and then ask questions like... Freddy, you had one hit in SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT, and that was a critical dud... Have you ever thought about giving up acting? Besides vapid self-absorbtion, what other qualities do you share with the character of Fred? I hate this project, but because Garth, Smiling Jack Ruby, the Coming Attractions fella and the IGN Filmforce fella and Lincoln all are buzzing like Cheech & Chong over this film and it's set... I have to attempt to keep an open mind about it... But every fibre of my being tells me this will be a shit bomb the likes of which we haven't seen since BOYS & GIRLS and SPEED 2 CRUISE CONTROL.

    Guys...really. Are geeks that tang deprived that a shot of some mid-sized breast gets them all worked up. She's a nice looking girl, but face it Geller wouldn't rank in the top ten where I went to college. I think her main appeal is that she gives off a vibe like if no one was looking, she was loaded on ludes, Wild Turkey, 150 mg's of MDMA, and had been smoking Viagra laced blunts all night- she might - there's the slimmist chance- the smallest hope- that she might...drop to her knees and give you head. Probably not, but it could happen.

    Um, Freddie Prinze Jr wasn't in SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT

    by anghus

    Freddy Prinze Jr. was in She's All That. She's Gotta Have It was a Spike Lee Joint. And while I agree Freddie Prinze Jr. isn't a huge box office draw, and that critics didn't care for She's All That, when did critical mass ever matter on this site? 90% of beloved Fanboy Films are loathed by the critics. Yes, Scooby Doo will probably suck mad ass, but Harry seems to be harboring some sort of enraged hatred for Freddie Prinze Jr. So he's a bad actor, who cares? if i got pissed off every time Hollywood put out a movie featuring a bad actor, i'd have an ulcer the size of Marlon Brando by now.

    Guys, uh don't. This movie's going to be utter omnipitent shite. Leave Harry alone. What was that? The script was crap, gee what a shock? What was that? Lillard and Prinze Jr. look like a mockery of the characters of the Scooby mythos. Yes they do. They resemble more of two guys at my college guys dressing up as Fred and Shaggy as some Saturday night Halloween party devoted to get shit faced. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie, and Matthew's casting underscores Hollywood ethics. These ethics are, rehash an old pop culture trademark and select only the hottest, or what appears to be the best and brightest of the teeny bopper market. And by the way, Linda Cardellini I like. She's so cute. But, yeah this movie will blow horses, sure.

    by smilin'jack ruby

    I, for one, buzzed about the sets and the production design. As the movie hasn't even finished shooting, has many weeks to go, and they haven't even inserted the dog yet (we saw fluffy n' stuffies as well as artwork on the design), I'm not buzzing about the movie. Yes, it seems that high-budget movies/properties are guilty until proven innocent (like "Charlie's Angels" and, apparently to a lot of people, "The Grinch" which I fucking hated), but because I saw a bunch of "Charlie's Angels" dailies last year and went around saying it was one of the worst things I'd ever seen and then it turned out to be a really fun movie, I've learned my lesson about making iron-clad decisions based on a couple of minutes of footage.

    The Charlie's Angels scribe?

    by batutta

    I enjoyed Charlie's Angels, but it wasn't the script (if their even was one) that did it for me. It was the sight of Drew Barrymore in that blue racing suit, and Cameron shakin' her ass, and Lucy kickin' ass, and the infectious spirit of fun the film was made in. The "script" was a barely there patchwork of sequences. So no one should pin there hopes on Scooby-Doo because of the script writer...Personally, I think this is the dumbest idea for a movie I've ever heard of, but then again I was mildly surprised by The Brady Bunch movie.

    Originality

    by lobanhaki

    I would think that Scooby Doo would be the last movie you'd want to adapt for the screen. I understand why they're doing it (built in audience) but I think the movie just has too many ifs about it.

    Truth is, Hollywood needs to do away with all these adaptations of old TV shows, because they are more or less crippling themselves when it comes to original material. They don't want to go for that kind of stuff because they are often such pussies on issues of responsibility (nobody wants to get blamed for a BO failure). -----------------------------------------------------Well, look out there: Some person went on a limb and made an original film where a top movie star doesn't speak for three quarters of an hour, and he's the only one there That movie made over 100 million dollars. Some other director made a movie for 85 million dollars which began with 25 minutes of the worst carnage ever put in mainstream film, and equalled the box office of a film that cost twice as much, with maybe only a quarter of the marketing that the other film got. Plus, the lead character of the first film doesn't get his love back, nor does the lead of the second survive the final battle.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    How did they manage this? By not overlooking the fact that each viewer had three pounds of gray matter in his or her skull, and a heart underneath his or her ribcage. They also knew how to communicate something to an audience without overburdening them with a load of irrelavencies. ----------------------------------------------------
    That essentially is what these people need to learn. The faster they do so, and the more of them that do, the better both the business and the art will do.

All, who do not hold my opinion on the current subject are clearly of inferior intelligence. People who hold differing opinions than mine deserve personal attacks and profanity directed against them.

    Not even full frontal nudity can save this steaming pile

    by silentbob x

    This movie was destined to fail
    the minute I heard that Janeane
    Garofalo wouldn't be cast as Velma. But seriously, let's take a brief look at the track record of '60s cartoons on the big screen: Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas, Josie and the Pussycats, and finally, Rocky and Bullwinkle. Can anyone spot the
    similarities between these 3? I'll give you a hint: They all
    bombed! If Hollywood really wants to put a cartoon on the big
    screen, let me make a suggestion
    or two. First: Release Akira
    nationwide so that anyone living
    outside NY or LA can see it. Second: Do the same for the sequel to Ghost in the Shell. If
    only somebody would listen to the
    millions of anime fans and do this, we might be spared from
    inevitably seeing Jabberjaw or
    worse yet, Captain Caveman on the
    big screen. Snootch to the Nootch.

    Someone earlier said that we may be subject to a Captain Caveman movie if we don't put our collective foot down about cartoon/movie trends. What would be wrong with that? Captain Caveman would rock. Too bad Sam Kinison's dead - he'd be perfect. We could get Bobcat Goldthwait to be Captain Caveman - he'd be okay. Just watching him yell "CAPTAIN CAVEMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!" and fly into a wall with his club outstretched would be wonderful. Please make this movie. Or a sequel of Scooby Doo focusing on Scrappy - Scrappy rocked!!

I think she should leave Hollywood and just porn because that's all I, or anyone else, want to see anyway.

    Rattleman? He probably wants to see Scooby-Doo

    by jay

    I was about to say something about this shit fest that is Scooby Doo the movie but that 1 2 fuck Rattleman got me all riled up. Who the fuck does he think he is? God? You see those people online all the time. They claim that they are smart because they use big words and quotations. Wasting an hour insulting us doesn't make you smart. It just points out that you need to get laid. If the thought of James Cameron and Arthur C. Clarke doing a movie or Terry Gilliam doing a movie on the book "Good Omens" doesn't make you shiver with excitement then get the fuck out. Go to CNN.com or some other site. This site is devoted to us, the movie buffs, not pricks like you. OK enough about him. Time to get to the subject at hand.

    Scooby Doo is going to suck. A lot. I was excited when the news broke out about the movie. I like the cartoon. Then I found out about the cast. Freddie Prinze Jr.? Yeah, loved his work on "Boys and Girls". Then I found out that Shaggy has a love interest. A love interest?! What the fuck is that all about? The only thing Shaggy likes is running away and eating. Even though I suspect he had a thing for Daphne, he doesn't have a girlfriend. The studios are just trying to reach out to the 11 year old girls. And that makes me sick! Then I found out about the wire kung-fu fights. There are kung-fu fights?!?! Scooby Doo is about solving mysteries, not fighting. The studios are just trying to reach out to 11 year boys. And here's the final straw that breaks the camel's back. The chief scribe of Charlie's Angels (I hate that movie with a passion) is going to work on Scooby-Doo. Wait, there was a script to Charlie's Angels?! No way! I have a better premise for this movie. It could be in the mindfuck genre like in The Usual Suspects or Memento. Now that would be seriously cool!

    Final Note: Zooming in on Sarah Michelle Gellar's boobs is great but it is pretty damn low.

    The ONLY cartoon worth making into a live action movie is Jonny Quest. Jonny, Hadji, Bandit, Dr. Benton Quest, and of course, Russell Crowe as Roger "Race" Bannon. Throw in Jezebel Jade as the love interest, with Chow Yun Fat as Dr. Zin, crank up the mechanical spy spider robot and finally do that episode with the guy in the wheelchair keeping the slaves in his mine in line with his pet pterodactyl right!

    Jesus, people--ENOUGH. Haven't y'all ever heard of sarcasm? Good God. *** The guy (I'm assuming) was merely trying to point out the negative nature of much of the Talkbacks, the way that people are personally attacked for their opinions, instead of having those opinions approached logically and in a point-for-point actual _discussion_. Dig the use of quotation marks for irony. Dig the tone as a whole. Read the friggin' post again--he was NOT saying we are geeks for hanging out on this site; he was saying there are far too many assholes who come on this site and attack self-respecting geeks. As Shaggy would say, Yoinks! *** The point is, and we should all learn from this--attack the arguments, discuss the facts and other statements; don't just start slinging insults 'cause some other geek doesn't agree with you. (And I would add to this, go to the dictionary, watch some old movies, learn what wit and sarcasm are. Open your eyes.) --kylerayner, geek and proud of it (look at my username, fercrissake)

He weighs like, what? A whole 90 pounds? Yeah, you'll pass for a jock. Matt lillard? Somebody please shoot him in the face.

    Some other great ideas

    by dr. channard

    Damn - Scoob-boobies-frickin-do. Well, THAT would be a highlight for that turd-bomb.

    How about a "Clutch Cargo" movie - CGI would be great - watchin' those lips twitch like live clams on hot coals.

    Or maybe a "Q.T. Hush"? Nahhh - not enough audience - most of the folks who COULD remember that can't remember their NAMES anymore, either Nam burnout or bad acid.

    "Ruff and Ready"? Same problem. I **got** it!! Some of the original "Felix the Cat" - Danny DeVito can play "The Professor", "The Rock" can do "Rock Bottom", and Harry can be Master Cylinder.

    No thanks, please, just doin' my job.

    The check must have cleared

    by siskels ghost

    My guess is that once the check from the studio cleared, Harry was then obligated to give this his orgasmic review. (nevermind the fact that he has yet to see the movie) Please don't write me again Harry and counter my post. Ya' mashed potato eatin' wad of low self esteem.

    Yeah, no, this is quite a fake.

    by sub-moxy

    In case you didn't notice, which you didn't, there is no E! logo on the cleavage shot. Should I assume that the network just pulled the logo for a two second breather? Um, sure. Hate to say it, but this is obviously digitized. But why though? Is this some kind of AICN propaganda? Are they trying to spark interest in the worst fucking film imaginable? Personally, I don't have the answers, but maybe you do. Why would they make this choice and then tell us it was real? I can find porn anywhere, so why fake it to promote a shabby product? The numbers just don't add up...

    set

    by milk114

    I was on a location shoot set for the movie. it was a geek convention called "fan-Com-A-Thon" with thousands of comics, action figures, posters, props, et al. and a hundred plus extras in superhero/sci-fi costumes. Freddie was doing a presentation, a reading from his book "Fred on Fred" by Fred. Moviemaking is fun and intriguing, no matter what it is. And Scooby is the largest budgeted movie to be shot at Warner Roadshow in Gold Coast, Australia

    The most truthful words uttered by that British godmonger

    by piss and moan

    About ten years ago, I reluctantly took my then ten-year-old newphew to see a piece of cowflop about live action Ninja turtles. I think he liked it, but I didn't, but I didn't mind that because I knew I was not the target audience for that film. It was a movie made to sell popcorn to preteen kids. (Because I am an arrested adolescent like all adults I despised-loathed- Godzilla, Armageddon, Mission Impossible, et.al). Today it is largely forgotten. Today I also have a three-year-old nephew who lives for Scooby Doo, which he watches on the Cartoon network. Fortunately he has a mom and dad who are more than willing to take him to see this film when it comes out. I'm sure he'll love it. Being three he will probably be in awe of it. And ten years from now, unless it greatly exceeds expectations, it too will be forgotten. C.S.Lewis once noted (paraphrasing) that memorable children's literature appeals to adults as well. The same is true of memorable children's movies, such as Dumbo, Bugs Bunny, The Wizard of Oz, the Indiana Jones movies, and possibly, from what I hear, Spy Kids. Children's movies that do not make that appeal to adults wind up in the dustbin of the culture, ignored by subsequent generations of children. I'm amazed that so much time is being spent discussing a movie that doesn't deserve a grunt from anyone over the age of 12. Had AICN existed back in the late eighties would these people be complaining about the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie? Yep, I guess they would be. Who knows. Maybe the kids will hate it too.

  • Baaaad casting. Period. All around. They don't have a solid concept in mind, otherwise they wouldn't have got all these "teen" players for the film if they didn't want them to carry the box office. This is not a solid film just based on the casting.

    Jonny Quest without Bandit?!

    by tuck kirby

    But...but...who would warn everyone that a huge lizard man is climbing up the side of the boat RIGHT BEHIND THEM?
    IBLIS TechnoMage, you're right about the trailer-can you imagine sitting in a theatre feeling your bones dissolve under that relentless theme blasting at top, teeth-loosening volume? Now that's entertainment!
    I didn't know Wildey (RIP) didn't like Bandit. Much as he's an annoyance, he is part of the JQ canon now, and should be included in the movie, though not CGI.
    What about making Hadji a girl? He was pretty androgynous anyway, if I remember correctly. Then you could throw in that tender "Discovering First Love" subplot, between Race and Dr.-I mean, between Jonny and Hadji. And, in a nod to political correctness, how about making Roger "Race(feel free to notice the irony of the name)" Bannon black? Say, Denzel Washington or Wesley Snipes or Joe Orton?
    RattleMan, I just re-read your post. What kind of hammer did you use to hit that particular nail right on the head? Harry should post that as a warning at the beginning of all talkbacks.

    Gellar's Jumblatts....

    by mr chuff

    Yes..the tit shot was very nice. What's the point? It just proves the lack of interest in the wanky movie when almost the entire talkback is about SMG's chebs. And yes.it WAS digitized.
    Another point is this....everyone seems to be getting at Freddie P jr. I have nothing against the lad, he's never pissed on my chips. I think there are a few web-geeks with too much time and ky on their hands who just hate the fact that Freddie is the one and only man who actually manages to gives Buffy the hot consignment of cock that she so rightly deserves.
    get over it. She's taken.
    On the subject of the film though....looks like a load sof old wank to me. That wet bag of pumpht playing Shaggy was indeed slightly amusing in Scream but apart from that what the fuck else has he done to shake Warner's tree?
    I'm just crying in my cornflakes that darren Aronofky wants Freddie P jr for Batman:Year One...... oh well, yet another shite Bats flick on the way then?

    Rattleman.....again

    by jay

    What's with you people? You continue to protect this asshole. Why? Does he suck your dick or something? Let's face it, sarcasm or none, he's an uptight little prick who gets his jollies with insults. And to comicartist: Do you get all giddy when he tells you that if you don't agree with you will suffer the consequences? Oh well, that's that. And what the fuck kind of name is Rattleman? Final note: Sleazy, it's dumber not dummer.

    Jonny Quest

    by spelunker gregg

    Jack Johnson as Jonny, An Unknown for Hadji, Russel Crowe or George Clooney as Race Bannon, and Anthony Edwards or Nicolas Cage as Dr. Quest. Directed by Stephen Sommers. Special Visual Effects by ILM. Music Score by Jerry Goldsmith. 'Nuff said. (My casting sucks. I couldn't think of anyone who fit Dr. Quest...)
