Son: Hi, Mom! I just got a job with Netflix!!!
Mom: I am so proud of you. I can’t wait to share the news with my Mahjong girls. Are you going to be in a movie?
Son: No.
Mom: Are you going to be in a TV show?
Son: No.
Mom: Then, what?
Son: They are going to put me in a billboard on Sunset for two days to promote one of their films.
Mom hangs up!
That is the call some son had with his mom when he told her that he would be stuck in a billboard, 30 feet high, to promote The Last House, a film about a family stuck in their house.
In case you are wondering, reports say that it is indeed air-conditioned, which is a good thing. Because if they didn’t, he would not survive the two days in over 90-degree heat.
The Last House streams tomorrow. I wonder if there is a television in there so that he can watch it. He can watch it in between interacting with passersby via cue cards.
Netflix is bringing Scooby-Doo to life, I mean, live-action. If you are going to do that, you would want a real dog to play the title role, not just one created with CGI. Well, at least the producers want a living puppy. I am wondering who did the casting because it is the worst likeness since Kristen Stewart played Princess Diana.
I always thought of the cartoon talking dog being a Great Dane, but this little guy looks more like a German Shorthaired Pointer, according to a Bing visual search.
Will a dog who doesn’t look like the pup we have known for over 55 years affect us when checking out the series? I don’t know, but I would ask the people behind the Sonic the Hedgehog movie about that.
I respect them for casting a real dog, but couldn’t they find one that looks like Scooby, and not just some random brown dog? How ruff could that be?
Scooby-Doo: Origins will be released next year. The series is described as: A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
Are you going to watch, or are you barking mad with their live-action Scoob?
