What the Eff, Scooby-Doo?


So we caught the brand-spankin'-new Scooby-Doo cartoon last night, Scooby-Doo, Mystery Incorporated! on the Cartoon Network last night. It was okay. Not great, but okay, and certainly not as good as the original series. The animation for this new series is a little different, making the characters look not quite like their old selves but definitely recognizable.

Probably the weirdest things about the new show are that 1) I don't think Casey Casem is voicing Shaggy in this series, but I could be wrong. I've tried doing a little research on the matter and my results are inconclusive. 2) Apparently VELMA has the hots for SHAGGY. ?!?!?!?

And that's basically what I want to get into here: A rant about Scooby-Doo.

Despicable Me & Airbender: The Good, the Bad, the UGLY

Hey there out in the Interwebs! I guess I’ve decided to keep this blog going, but I’m going to go about things a little differently. Those official reviews are nice, but they’re a little bit of work, so I’ve decided to take things a little more fast and loose.

 
If you haven’t taken your kids to see Despicable Me, do so IMMEDIATELY before it’s out of theaters. And do yourself a favor and pay the extra money to see the 3-D version. (3-D costs us extra here.) Believe me, it’s TOTALLY worth it. Don’t get me wrong, the movie is still ultra funny and touching for both kids and adults if you choose to see it in 2-D, but the filmmakers used the 3-D to great effect and the extra visuals are fun, fun, fun.
