So mad right now!
Okay I will get to answering your questions soon but first I must raise an angry finger waggle at Hollywood USA and Disney entertainment and say, "Shame on you , shame, shame, shame"! Damn them, the fetid, myopic, money grubbing, scum. Oh how I hate them. As I shuffled through the trailors of upcoming movies, a chill ran up my spine. One of the movies on the list was titled "UnderDog". I instantly though,' no, could it really be, did a reputible animation house finally make a movie based on one of my all time favorite cartoons'? I saw the production house was Disney, so my mind was swirling with images of a computer generated Shoeshine Boy, running to the nearest phone booth which would explode and then you would behold a CG UnderDog in all his super glory. In my head the visions of UnderDog saving sweet Polly Purebred, (which I would have voiced by Britney Murphy), from the clutches of the evil Simon Barsinister, (Jeremy Irons or Malcolm McDowell) and his ever inept side kick Cad, (dunno who could be Cad, just someone with a good stupid voice). Of course UnderDog himself, I would have his voice be played by the original actor or a machine that could perfectly reinact said voice. As we all can attest to, you can change all the voices of the supporting characters in a cartoon and it will be fine but the lead voice must be the same or it just doesn't work, (God I miss Mel Blanc for exactly this reason). Now, with all these exciting and delightful pictures aswirlin' in ma' head, I clicked on the web site for to see my dream come alive. My heart sank into my butt and stained the very chair I sat upon. Two words, " live action"! Those rat basterds at Disney turned UnderDog into live action. Of course the whole plot has nothing but a name in common with the original cartoon. Sure the dog wears a cape and has super powers but that is it as far as I could see. A dog with super powers goes off to save his owner, or some stupid atypical plot line like that. The folks that sodomized this sacred chunk of americana should be drawn and quartered, broken on the wheel, stuck into the iron maiden, any horrible, slow, medievil torture is still to good for them. Mabye something red hot and anal and slow, above all, slow. This whole thing is a shear sign of one of the many problems with Hollywood and Disney. Someone writes an absocrap script about a dog with super powers and said asshole calls it UnderDog to sell it. I would not be suprised at all if Happy Feet was originally called the Tennessee Tuxedo Story, because there was a penguin and a walrus in it, ( I never saw happy feet, so I am not sure about the walrus, that was a generalization about penguin habitat). I wonder if this is the same bunch that ruined Dudley Dooright. What will we have next? The Go - Go Gophers movie, two american-indian gophers who fight off white fur traders using their sly gophery wits. It terrifies me that the only movie that has really gotten it right in the last decade, as far as cartoons go, was the Scooby-Doo movie and that was god awful but so was Scooby-Doo. THose of you who have kids, please feel free to not let them watch this movie at least until they gain a decent appreciation for the real UnderDog. You can purchase the entire series in box set form, a much better use of your twenty dollars than going to see a crap movie.

Wow! 'Tis sad, 'tis true, 'tis a pity... I am totally disarmed wordwise. All I can do is quote my friend from Norway and say, "It suck!"
