Leave it to me to take something from your childhood and make a poop joke out of it.
Curious George comes out on Friday and – although I probably won’t see it – I admire the previews I’ve seen from it. The film has a very unique, watercolor look that I think is going to go over big with the teething set.
It’s a movie for kids, that’s for sure. But I can’t help but sit back and wonder if the Will Ferrell playa-hatas will still find a way to rip into the erstwhile SNL funnyman. He voices The Man in the Yellow Hat for the big screen adaptation. Seems like since Bewitched, there has been more vocal activity from their sort. Don’t trust these people around children! They are humorless misers! They will drain them of their dreams and their tendancies to be sillyhearts! The will insist on your children taking their student career seriously!
And in the immortal words of Uncle Buck… "I don’t think I want to know a six-year-old who isn’t a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don’t want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don’t have a college degree. I don’t even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they’re ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they’re no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid…, and I hear about it, and I’m coming looking for you!"
Now here’s a quarter. Why don’t you go downtown… and have a RAT… gnaw that thing off your face!
Good day to you all.
Have you ever heard the expression "If not for bad publicity, we’d have no publicity at all?" I have to imagine that the producers of Curious George are thinking they could do without this kind of publicity…
Allan Shalleck ,a collaborator on the children’s book series Curious George has been found dead on the driveway of his mobile home in Florida. Police say Allen Shalleck’s body was covered in black garbage bags. Neighbors had passed by for a least a day, thinking it was just trash. He was 76 years-old.
The world is pretty screwed up, isn’t it?
