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.

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.
