Nothing is sacred and there is no hope left for humanity

Post by VikingBoyBilly »

Why in the presence of all the gods that exist would there be a sequel to cats and dogs?!? Sitting through the first movie tore holes through my underdeveloped brain and it opened my eyes to the endless mountains of artistic garbage scattered all over the earth. It made me wish I was a tortured slave or a starving lower class child who had his family murdered and his religious worldviews beaten out of him. It was so bad I almost went blind and deaf :bloody It sure is a good thing they didn't invent tasty smell and feel-o-vision.

Oh sure, you could debunk my rant with a sensible "you don't have to watch it." I know that and I'm not going to watch it! But think about all those innocent toddlers and adolescents who don't know any better, who've never seen the first movie and think this one is going to be fun. The disappointment will bear so heavily on them that they will come to an epiphamatic realization that the world should not exist. They will organize into a secret society of child doomsters, using advanced biotechnology to farm flesh-eating bacteria in pitri dishes and release the virii on the world on December 21, 2012 to wipe out all animals, plant life, humanity, and themselves. And it will all be because of a stupid movie that branched from another awful movie that scarred the nintendo nicktoons generation before them. Why, Warner bros? Why would you do this to the world? :'(

I'm more concerned about people who might go to such a film and actually enjoy it.

The Marmaduke remake seems to be just as bad, if not, even worse. I remember seeing the original version a few years back, and from what I can remember, none of the animals talked.
So why talking animals in the remake? Is it a new trend again? :confused

First of all, the first movie came out, what, ten years ago? And second, I don't remember it even being that popular. So WHY would they need to make a sequel?

Hopefully a lot of parents can now use the internet and look up reviews of the first movie. :P

It was quite popular when it came out on video, but not in the cinemas...

Interestingly enough, I own a bootleg vhs tape of it. I didn't pay for it, a friend gave it to me. :P
It's one of those terrible ones made in the theater with a camcorder.

The absolute best sequel of all time [sarcasm warning] is Troll II: There's no actor from the first movie, no reference to the first movie whatsoever in terms of characters, storyline or anything. It's not even a similar environment, the first being medieval fantasy and the second being modern gremlins style. My point being: Anything can be a sequel if you just name it as one.

Also the german title of Corky Romano was Mr. Undercover
while Miss Congeniality was titled Miss Undercover in Germany... a good example for trying to fool the audience to think of a sequel.

I've never seen it, but is there any connection between these 'pink panther' movies and the original cartoons at all? How do you go from a mute pink colored wild cat rivaling some short guy with a big nose for no reason with jazzy music to a live action movie about a detective mispronouncing the word 'hamburger'? :dead

The Pink Panther film came first. The cartoon came from the fact that the opening credits for the first film featured it and it became popular.
