I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the horrible spin-off(?) from Scooby Doo; Dynomutt.

Hey, he's not that bad, as long as you don't watch any of his Freddie Prinze movies. Go pick up Hackers for 4 bucks, he's great as cereal killer.

I like original Scooby Doo cartoons.  It is the people in "Hollywood" who cannot come up with any original ideas for movies.  It is the "Baby Boomers" who are trying to re-live their youth by bring back the shows they loved to watch while they were growing up.  

The "Baby Boomers" are destroying every classic cartoon and TV show by bring it to the big screen.  The "Baby Boomers" will destroy what they can to help them get rich or make them feel happy.  

It will get worst before it will get better.

Nah.  The Baby Boomers are a little old for Scooby Doo.  Their average age would be 50+.

If you want to blame a generation, and I think you do, blame Generation X.  Thirty something slackers who find themselves entrenched in secure positions in the Hollywood movie-making machine.

Not that I care.  They can rape Scooby Doo as much as they want.  I'm not a big fan of the show.  Just as long as I don't have to listen to stoner kids tell me Shaggy was high all the time.  That may be so, but he was a vegetarian too.  Why don't they talk about that for a while?

Although if you can find it, you should watch the Scooby Doo/Blair Witch parody that was on Cartoon Network a while back.  That was pretty funny.

I also dug the Pulp Fiction parody that they were doing for a while there.

Yep, it's definitely Generation X's fault!  And I can say that because I am one.

I think Scooby-Dumm predated Scrappy by quite a bit.   I doubt I'll bother to see the movie, even though I'm a Scooby fan from way back.  I heard Matthew Lillard on the radio promoting the movie and he definitely has Shaggy's voice down.

If it is Generation X's fault then how do we account for these movies : The Adam's Family, Dennis the Menace, The Fugitive, etc?

Matt Lillard's pretty good when he plays what he is- a freaky guy. SLC Punk!, Hackers, Shaggy. Hopefully this movie has the best scenes from the cartoons- Shag and Scoob's downright revolutionary ways of making sandwiches.

Well, yes, those shows would be the fault of baby boomers.

SCOOBY DOO would be the fault of Generation X.

But really, it's no generation's fault, just the fault of uncreative people who want to make bundles of money.

For the record, I like the Addam's Family movies.

A couple of things bugged me about the Addams family movies. My opinions are based on the first movie, having learned my lesson after that. First, they tried to make it hip. Second, they messed with the family too much, including changing Fester from Morticia's uncle to Gomez' Brother. Third, no actor has done justice to Lurch since the late Ted Cassidy. Finally, it has that stupid formulaic plot involving a couple of unscrupulous people conspiring to get their hands on the Addams fortune, in much the same way a couple of unscrupulous people tried to get their hands on the Clampett fortune, Mr. Slate's money, the Brady house, etc.

I think the problem is that nobody is content with just bringing the story and the characters to the big screen as we all remember them. They have to update everything, and give it an angle, add some excitement, and beat people over the head with cameos and references to the old show.

>changing Fester from Morticia's uncle to Gomez' Brother.

I assumed that he was called "Uncle Fester" because that's the way the kids referred to him and so the parents just called him that.  

Given the unusual Addams family tree, who's to say that he's not both Gomez' brother and Morticia's uncle anyway?

>it has that stupid formulaic plot involving a couple of unscrupulous people conspiring to get their hands on the Addams fortune

Wasn't that the premise of a few of the old TV shows as well?

I think most of these sterotypes about the drugs & the lesbianism were made popular by the "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back"movie.

& going by the commercial I've seen of the movie.

I would call Scooby "Animated"not a toon like Roger Rabbit.

I loved the original cartoons.Before they brought on losers like Harlem Globe trotters.
