Walked out of Scooby Doo

[Ledgemere Farm]

My wife and I went to see it on a "test run" for my sister-in-law and nephew. I liked it, but you are right; it wasn't exactly appropriate for a 4-year old. You have to admit that they did a good job with "The Mystery Machine" though.

Of course you don't get bloody wafers with it, its bloody sea, bloody bird, bloody albatross...ALBATROSS!!!

I'm sorry, this is abuse, argument is just down the hall.

...and there we were standing on the bloody tarmack and nothing to drink but Watkins Red Barrel...
...Algerian ruin called the Hotel del Sol...there's no water in the sink, there's no water in the tap, there's only a bleeding lizard in the bidet!

Oh, Mr. Bounder, this gentleman would like to enquire about a holiday...AND NOTHING ELSE!

There's another dead bishop on the landing... Oh yeah, what's his diocese? Dunow. Its tatooed on the back of their necks. We better call the church police. T H E...C H U R C H... P O L I C E


Raw dead unboned crunchy frog? Yes they are dew picked, lightly killed, and covered in treble rich milk chocolate.


The Firesign Theater (Zachariah the electric rock western) and later the Duck's Breath Theater with Ian Sholes (Dr. Science) were/are good but no one has the staying power of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Now if Jeopardy ever had a section on Monty Python...

I used to think that the content of movies like the one mentioned were just the ideas and morals of the producers. I am more convinced as time goes on that producers are reacting to the desire of the movie going public.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to rasie children today with a decent moral value ethic. Some element of society seems bent on destroying itself and our children along with it. What will be the out come as this generation of children grows up in total moral decay, what purposes will be served?

I don't know if it takes a whole village to raise a child, but I do know it only takes a few of the villans to destroy one.

Tiger Brand Coffee tastes really neat,
Even tigers prefer it to real meat.

The rating system is just not reliable and consistent in my opinion. For example, a guy at work went to see Spiderman and said it wasn't that bad and would be ok for kids. So, I took his advice and took my kids (they saw the ads and wanted to see it real bad) and regretted it (I won't take his advice again). Both kids were scared by the Green Goblin. But, they made it through the whole movie, even though I suggested to them that we should leave, and it is rated PG-13. Scooby Doo is rated PG and we didn't make it through (and they've been looking forward to seeing it for months) and they asked me (actually pleaded) to get them out of there!
