(You may already know, she's no fan of TV and mainly sticks to Serious Film projects)

I need to admit that I don't watch TV...have never seen a single episode of Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld, American Idol..well, you get the idea. I don't even know how to turn on my TV as there is now something called... Input 1 or 2 or 3 and I have no idea what to do.

I might have to see this an An American Carol back-to-back. For some reason, I am actually considering it.

[Beth]

 That cast list is insane.


Drew Barrymore?
Piper Perabo?
Andy Garcia?
George Lopez?
Cheech Marin?
PLACIDO DOMINGO?


I really don't understand how this movie got made. Someone funded this. Someone directed this. Someone wrote the music. Someone hired thousands of chihuahuas. Someone CGI'ed them.
I remember seeing the trailer before Wall-E, and I think my mouth was left hanging open for about 2 minutes after it was over. I mean, I've seen some bad kids movies, but Happy Feet looks like a candidate for Best Picture next to what I expect out of this one.

There's some kind of mad genius hidden in this movie's terribleness. I'm oddly compelled to go see it, but I don't know if I would survive. Seriously. It looks like an absolute mindfuck.

I agree. I'm insanely curious to see it, in a way I haven't been about a bad movie since everyone told me I had to see The Room.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2: Absolute Mindfuck.

You see, I was under the impression that this movie had come and gone already. I saw the preview at Wall-E. Then, a while later,  I saw the poster for it at several Oakland bus shelters. And now I find out that the movie hasn't even been released yet. One more day ...

Jesus. Way to prolong the torture, Disney Corporation.

From the trailer, I was also under the impression that this was going to be an entirely CGI movie. But now I find out it's a mixed live-action/CGI thing. That makes it worse, somehow.

And then all these fucking weird almost-vaguely-funny catchphrases*. "Pronounced Chi-WOW-wa" ... "Hold on to your tacos" ... "Say hello to my Little Friends" (aka "get ready to meet my leetle chiWOWwa").

Mindfuck. Absolutely.

I give up. Disney wins.

Short of a love scene (they were pushing for a Hard R) between Domingo and Piper Perabo, there's no way. That said, I wonder if I could sneak a double feature after 'Blindness'?

[Richard]

Someone needs to get a shelter started for all the abandoned Chihuahuas once Chihuahua-mania subsides and the breed is ruined by puppy mills/inbreeding ala 101 Dalmatians.

I'm waiting for Dreamworks' Minneapolis Chinese Crested!

I haven't been able to get through a preview. I'd assumed that it ends with "Who Let The Dogs Out."

Somewhere in the Dinsney offices, is a marketer who selects the music for film trailers, and this person listens to that song on headphones all day. That person also wears a helmet in the shower.

[yesno]

Based on his track record of seeing terrible movies, I hope Tom sees this and gives us a review.  It really saves me a lot of time.

I doubt he'll have time with An American Carol and Religulous coming out the same day.

the preview is embarrassing; i feel so awkward watching it.  what a trainwreck. 

Spoony, they're also the person everyone goes to for their candy fix.  they keep candy in fifty strategically placed jars inside their office and right outside their door.  co-workers stop by to say hi, but only so they dont look like a greedy jerk who's only in the area for the sugar high. 

[Spoony]

And for the candy (probably tainted Chinease candy!!!) they have to hear things like, "OMG Monday already!" or "Humpday! Only two more days to go!"

High price to pay for a couple of Spree out of the ol' Herpes-roulette bowl.

[Wes]

If you're eating a loose Spree, you deserve whatever communicable diseases you get. What's next, a bowl full of Milk Duds?
