This Is Why I Don't Do Reviews

by adam at 12:14 AM on November 22, 2004

I caved today and saw the Spongebob Squarepants Movie. I saw the reviews, and yes they were awful, but I thought that these must've been people who don't appreciate the TV show. Uptight grown-ups who don't like nonsense humor, that's all they were!

Well, it turns out that the reviewers were right, and the movie was basically crap. It was missing so much of the meaningless, random fun that makes the TV show what it is. But there was one overriding problem in this movie: Mindy, the character voiced by Scarlett Johansson. This is exactly the kind of character that marks crappy children's animation: an unexciting, boring, constantly upbeat cheerleader. The moralistic know-it-all who helps the characters recognize that they're Good People! Feh.

Yeah, that's what I expected. Thanks for saving me and my wife $20.50. I have alot of S-Bob paraphenelia, but I knew the movie would wear thin. Just going to wait for Alexander I guess.

Rented Chronicles of Riddick. Suprisingly Not so bad.

It's like South Park, which doesn't translate well to the big screen.

What? The South Park movie was pretty freakn' good. "Shut your fucking face uncle fucker!" "Blame Canada! Blame Canada!" And Saddam making the Devil his bitch. My stomach hurt for days.

I didn't really care for the South Park movie. I'm not a huge fan of musicals though.

Thanks for the scoop on Sponge Bob. My wife and I were debating whether to seee it or not. We'll just wait for the DVD.

Blame Canada wasn't bad. Too bad it didn't win the Oscar.
