Tiny Report From England About Footage Shown For HARRY POTTER and SCOOBY DOO!
Hey folks, Harry here with just a tidbit of notes from FoGGhorn LeggHorn about footage he managed to see from SCOOBY DOO and HARRY POTTER, and it went pretty much as you would think it went... Here ya go...
Mr Knowles,
Although an avid reader of AICN i have yet to come across some really cool
news from my little country of England...Well today is that day...Call me
FoGGhorn LeggHorn...
A sneak preview was shown to a special group of people at Warners the other
day...This included over fifteen minutes of Harry Potter and then a few
minutes of a yet, unfinished Scooby Doo.
Well I suppose it aint really news but... Harry Potter looks excellent in
every way, the characters the acting the effects...it draws you in...there
are no spoilers here, only to say we look foward to the release day in
November it will be huge...
Now something I know from reading your site you
are waiting here, yes Scooby does suck, big time...Of course there is no
computer generated Scooby as yet, just a man in a white sheet that the other
actors talk and look to.
The acting however is of primary school level...SMG
is Buffy and Freddie Prinze Jnr is useless, the highlight of the whole
film, the savior himself must be Matthew Lillard..he has the Shaggy Voice
and moves down to a tea...Sorry if this is all pretty obvious to you...WEll
this is me signing out to go back to work...
FH Legghorn.

I never want to hear the words "Mathhew Lillard" and "savior" in the same sentance again. If that skull faced sweetard is the highlight of this movie it must be a total clogged sump pump.

Harry Potter will be big, there's no question, really! Thanks for more positive response on it, though :)
-
I hate to say this but I am interested in seeing the Scooby movie. And maybe the guy in the sheet was "old man cranky suck" from the haunted amusement park. Oh well. Not looking forward to this being that great because the cartoon was pretty crappy (even though I highly enjoyed them when I was little).

Man in a white sheet? Does that mean Scooby Doo's a Klansman?
by basic alias
Seriously though, was this report really worth posting? I'm not trying to belittle Fogghorn, but this is a pretty thin report with little to no information, although finding out that Lillard is the saving grace is definitely shocking in and of itself.

Harry's pissed, as I am, because Prinze, Prince or whatever the fuck the name of the retard is, couldn't act his way out of a paper bag if there was a gun pointed at his Mothers head, never mind his own!!! He is to acting what John Wayne Bobbit is to Marriage Guidance!!!

Ok, first of all, I can't wait for the Harry Potter movie. So far it looks great. I don't think we have to worry about that one. Scooby on the other hand... scares me. I grew up being a fan of the show, and I hate to see it come to a crappy substandard filmic fruition. BUT... I have to say that the ONLY casting I agree with is Lillard as Shaggy. Its EXTREMELY doubtful that he'd be a "saving grace", but he is a LOT like Shaggy (mannerisms, lankiness, height, etc). All of the rest of the casting is downright horrible. I love SMG, but she isnt Daphne. And Freddie isn't anywhere near my choices for err... Fred. HOWEVER!!! If this movie is going to suck... and it sadly will... IT IS BECAUSE OF THE DIRECTOR (rosa Gosnell or however you spell his damn accursed name), THE WRITER (or writers), AND BECAUSE THEY OPTED TO GO WITH THOSE LAME ASS COSTUMES AND WIGS!!! They look exactly like that too... costumes. They look like the Scooby Gang Halloween costumes. Hell I'm surprised Scrappy Doo isn't in this thing. For those of us growing up with Scooby and the Gang, this is borderline sacrilege. Tis a damn shame too! If there is a god, we can all get the word out not to see this movie, so when the movie bombs, the people in charge of this waste of film will walk away saying, "And we would've gotten away with it too.... if it weren't for those meddling fanboys and their blasted Head Geek!" (And then Harry will make some generic joke and eat a really tall sandwich while we all laugh).

That post killed me...
Unlike most who inhabit this site, I actually enjoy Lillard a bit...one of my all time favorite movies was "SLC Punk"...he was good in that as well as passable in "Scream" and it's not like he's taking Shaekspearian roles or some shit..he's playing parts that are probably similar to how he really is...just a goof who maybe hits the bong at every 20 and no just 4:20 ;))) -
Who let Scooby Doo to be made? Was it Hitler? OOOHHH that damned Hitler. I'll git that varmint. Anyway, King Rentboi, what's the deal with ragging on HP? You ever read them? Let me tell you a story. I never heard of them till 2 years ago, and you know I got hooked?, my 55 year old dad picked it up at London airport and read on the way back to the states. He loved it! And so did I. And you don't know my dad. He is an R&D guy with a flooring company. Serious as shit. Harry Potter is going to be great, from all I've seen so far. And LotR will have my attention as well when it comes out later. Scooby Doo will be horseshit. ooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!
-
Surprised to hear Lillard can pull off Shaggy, something I may have to see to believe. Not a guy with tremendous range, but he did great work in SLC Punk. He just needs to beat Freddie's ass and not let him talk him into doing anymore movie's with him(if he seeks longevity in Hollywood)I've also seen SMG throw temper tantrums before(throw being the operative word.That was on the set of Buffy at a point when she was reportedly making 80,000 per episode(that's two weeks)That's the point where you forfeit your right to have a temper, or even an opinion. Snatch. Freddie can have her.
-
I agree, I'm sick to death of these whiny fanboys ripping on Harry Potter, talking about how LotR is so superior, etc, when the two shouldn't even be compared. Shut up. Oh, yeah, this Scooby thing was doomed from day one. Why must they pilfer and pervert beloved childhood shows like this?
-
sorry harry but its true, i have followed the guy for years, met him and chat with people that know him well, the guy kick ass, and by the sound of things he may restore some faith in him with this performance. FPjr is still the biggest pile of shit ever to get his name above a title though.
-
I had the opportunity to see Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back the other night and Kevin Smith has a much better Scooby Doo movie in his film than this official piece of shit can ever hope to be.
-
How the f*** can they even think such a series can be made into a remotely interseting movie? What next? Wacky Races The Movie? Or maybe Tomb Raider The Movie (oh wait...).
-
ARGH. All of you saying the movie will suck are wrong. The movie will be so good you will be so surprised that you will need hospital help to help you get over the greatness. This person that says he saw the movie is such a fake. Just becuase some guy decided he doesnt like the idea of the movie he came up with the idea to pretend that he saw it when really he didnt. And if you know anything about Scooby Doo they dont use a man in white costume as the stand in, they use a puppet dog that looks like Scooby. So there is proof enough that the man that wrote the fake report is a fake and you are all so dumb that you actually listened to it. Stop being so harsh and give the movie a chance coz i know that any one of you couldnt write or create a movie not even a quarter as good as scooby doo will be.
