Over the last two days we've rented and watched both Scooby Doo live action movies. Um. Am I going to lose any cool points you people foolishly think I possess if I admit that I really enjoyed them? And that I'm so in love with Velma? And that I was fully on board the Velma/Daphne/Fred ship till Seth Green turned up as her love interest in the sequel? (Mr. Green should play a serial killer, by the way. He plays menacing very well. Also, I would like to marry him and make him wear glasses *all the time*, but that's incidental.)

Dude, the main character is so stoned he thinks his dog can talk. I was destined to love these movies.

You are not alone

And Seth? You may not have him! I am already drooling in anticipation of getting a 'Without a Paddle' DVD. He is such a cutie.

~Becca~

Ooh, I think that's still out in cinemas here. I need to see.

I loved them and with a nine year old can go and watch them/buy them with no loss of cool ;-)

And the second one had so much Velma/Daphne slashy sub-text it was making my eyes pop.

And yes, Seth's character was way scary in the tunnel scene and the menacing bit.

Seth plays murderous in Attic Expeditions, which is...well, a really bad movie. I still don't really know what happened. But Seth gets covered in blood and kisses a boy, so it's a lot of fun nonetheless. :)

I haven't seen Scooby 2 yet, but I did see the first one in the theatre with a couple of my friends. We all liked it a lot; it was just so silly, but in a good way. There is certainly a place for that kind of entertaining fluff.
You are not alone. :P

Linda Cardinelli is my sooper seekrit girlfriend.

She's also Sam on ER. The mouthy blonde nurse who's shagging Luca?

I'm a complete and *total* fan of all Fred/Velma in the first movie. They are CONSTANTLY together and the main conflict and the reason Mystery Inc. broke up was because Fred and Velma were fighting and it just goes from there. The first two to see each other in the airport? Fred and Velma. Who's sitting together on the plane? Fred and Velma. Who enters through the exit together? Fred and Velma. Who end up fighting together at the end? Fred and Velma. The Fred/Daphne kiss at the end was SO random. I stand by this.

That little smile he gives her after falling through the window on the ride? Melty. And he beat some guys up for her (using his nifty swinging rope thing trick). And don't get me started on the deleted scene where Velma sings--TO FRED, I swear. Theirlovewassoobvious.

They were so coupley. And the second one? Nothing. They barely talk. I think the writer's realized what they'd done (and the insane amounts of chemistry Linda and Freddie had) and put the kabosh on it. Woe. I do like the Patrick/Velma bits though. Mmm...Seth.

....this post was way too long for it being about Scooby Doo. My geek roots have been revealed. *facepalms* ZOINKS!

You aren't the only one. :-)

One a side note... Did you know that, supposedly, there was originally a Velma/Daphne kiss in the first movie? The rumor is that they filmed it and everything.

Yes! We went through the deleted scenes, we went on google in case there was an easter egg, and we had to accept that it was nowhere on the DVD. Sigh.

Dude, the main character is so stoned he thinks his dog can talk. I was destined to love these movies.

Ah, this only makes me like you more, especially for this:

(Mr. Green should play a serial killer, by the way. He plays menacing very well. Also, I would like to marry him and make him wear glasses *all the time*, but that's incidental.)

Bwah! Yes :)

What the-- I saw pictures from the first movie, from when it was in production...Velma had a *girlfriend*.

She does have an all-female fanclub and it's ambiguous whether it's Fred or Daphne she's in love with. If they took out the kiss between her and Daphne I guess she couldn't have a girlfriend either *sigh*

Dude, the main character is so stoned he thinks his dog can talk.

*snerf* Before the first one came out, we had a group lunch at work (bridal shower, I think) and a bunch of us were talking about going together as a field-trip (we have a largish group of the ME faithful in our office). Somebody made a crack about Shaggy and Scooby being stoners, and one of the guys, outraged, says, "Do you mean they smoked marijuana? No, they didn't! It was a kid's show!" And we're like, Dude ('cause we say that too), why do you think they were hungry all the time?

Also? Velma. It's all about Velma.

How could this guy have missed it?!? When they open the van in the credits, all that smoke comes rolling out the back of the van and then Shaggy and Scooby go looking for food. Also, Shaggy totally adopts the stoner vocabulary current during the 1970's. No one who was old enough to be aware of the world around them in the seventies ever would have thought that Shaggy and Scooby were anything but dopers.

It's when Mr. Green whimpers "My museum" that, suddenly, it becomes a work of genius.

(also? It helps to prove my theory that Seth Green is the single guy lesbians go straight for.

Yep.)

Hey there!

I just wanted to say 'hi'. I just 'friended' you :) I was reading your *firstevil* post/s and I have to say, I was howling - thank you!

Feel free to drop by and visit me :)
