Scooby Doo. Scooooby Doo.

They call him Scooby Doo. They call show Scooby Doo, but Scooby doesn't 'Do' anything. We call him Scooby but he doesn't Do.

They should call the show VELMA.

They already had an edgy reboot of Scooby Doo: Scooby Doo Mystery Inc.

It was great. A couple of episodes had Harlan Ellison in it. Jeffery Coombs played a character that was basically HP Lovecraft.

The edgy reboot of scooby doo was the texas chainsaw massacre and it was done like 5 years after the original series came out

I was shocked to find out they don’t have intermissions in movies in America. why would they do this? it’s throwing out money, people buy so many snacks then.

movie theaters in the united states are in a constant state of having their balls squeezed so it wouldnt surprise me if the major distributors straight up ban them from adding intermissions to long movies for no other reason than to make sure they know whos in charge

fun fact the only reason movie companies dont own movie theaters in the united states was because of a supreme court ruling seventy years ago that declared it to be a monopolistic practice a nice socialist idea in theory but in practice independent movie theaters are hostages at the mercy of major distributors because they have zero leverage to extract favorable terms for the increasingly small number of films their customers expect to see

so even though nearly every lovely aspect of movie theaters in the united states today is a direct consequence of disney and friends running a protection racket theyre able to completely avoid the blame for it thanks to this im not touching you rule which was quite literally designed to make them more accountable to consumers not less anyway tldr disney doesnt make any money when you buy snacks at intermission so they dont give a poo poo

The way hollywood juices it is that the production company and distribution company (and streaming) are all owned by the studio. So they can put whatever costs in front of that net profit at the end. They can license an IP to their own production for a fee that garuntees no money could ever be made. Left hand steals from the right hand. But only the right hand has 'net profit' contracts.

if production companies were forced to divest from distribution companies the way movie theaters were forced to divest from the distribution companies the united states film market might actually work the way people generally think it does as a meritocratic free market since this would give distribution companies a huge incentive to acquire and actually sell cheaper films instead of holding movie theaters over a barrel to give as many screens as possible to the latest marvel superhero bullshit

of course no one is ever going to do this because hollywood is filled with liberals

quote:

"That was my Japanese influence and that was a culture that was so rich with tradition, yet so futuristic [with] so much attention to art and detail and discipline and it was fascinating to me," she said, explaining how her father (who is Italian American) would return with stories of street performers cosplaying as Elvis and stylish women with colorful hair. Then, as an adult, she was able to travel to Harajuku to see them herself. "I said, 'My God, I'm Japanese and I didn't know it.'" As those words seemed to hang in the air between us, she continued, "I am, you know." She then explained that there is "innocence" to her relationship with Japanese culture, referring to herself as a "super fan."

south korea also has no rules against bringing in your own food to the movie theater and most movie theaters being the top floor a of a twelve story mall is the closest anyone gets to forcing you to buy their popcorn

south korean movie theaters are also overwhelmingly vertically integrated as the big chains are owned by and named after the major distribution companies although this doesnt meaningfully affect the selection the last time i think this ever mattered was with the first hobbit movie whoever owned the local distribution for it did something to piss the other distributors off and probably realized this wasnt something worth playing hardball over since hobbit ended up being way less popular than lord of the rings

Frankie Muniz is swapping a production crew for a pit crew.

The Malcolm in the Middle and Agent Cody Banks star announced Wednesday that he's set to compete as a full-time race car driver in NASCAR's ARCA Menards Series, beginning Feb. 18 at Daytona International Speedway. Muniz, who will race the No. 30 Ford Mustang for Rette Jones Racing, called the endeavor a childhood dream.

"It's with the utmost excitement, optimism and gratitude that I'm joining Rette Jones Racing for the full ARCA Menards Series schedule this year," he said in a statement. "Ever since childhood, it's been my dream to pursue racing in NASCAR, and it was important for me to partner with a team that aligned with my long-term objectives and vision, while providing every opportunity imaginable to grow mentally and physically as a full-time race car driver."
Muniz added, "I look forward to not only demonstrating my ability on the track and just how serious how I am in progressing in my racing career, but also showing my son and family what it is to chase your dreams and re-invent yourself."

A longtime racing fanatic, Muniz told PEOPLE that he "caught the bug of wanting to be a driver" in 2004, after winning a tournament in Long Beach, Calif. The actor also competed in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in 2005 and 2011, placing in third and second place, respectively. While it's been more than a decade since Muniz has been behind the wheel competitively, he'll be "putting in a hundred percent because I don't wanna look back at this opportunity and go, man, I wish I tried harder," he said.

Muniz also cited the birth of his first child, son Mauz — whom he welcomed with wife Paige Price in 2021 — as a driving force behind his decision. "Finally making my dream a reality," he tweeted Wednesday. "This one is for my son and showing him that you can always chase your dreams."

Finally making my dream a reality, this one is for my son and showing him that you can always chase your dreams.

Muniz is best known for playing the title role in the aughts sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, which earned him an Emmy nomination and two Golden Globe noms. He's starred in more than 40 films and TV shows, including the Agent Cody Banks and Sharknado franchises. Muniz has also competed on Dancing With the Stars and cohosted Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.

Disney in particular loves to flood out theaters and probably obligates theaters to pack their schedules with only their poo poo. When I wanted to see John Wick 3 in a theater, I was preventing from doing so due to the release of a Marvel thing, and then Aladdin, which took over every showing past 12pm.
