Jason Lee must be stopped
Laura and I went to see Ratatouille this afternoon, and one of the previews before the movie was for a live-action dog movie about a beagle, or some other kind of hound dog, that gains super powers through some sort of lab accident. All at once the horror of what I was seeing struck me: Some miserable so-and-so has crapped all over Underdog and put it on screen. I think I would rather go with Laura to see Becoming Jane and actually watch it than be subjected to this pile of pants.
But voicing the lead character in this crime against humanity wasn’t bad enough for Jason Lee. No, he just had to go and star in this abomination.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with us? We take the things we loved as children, turn them into utter garbage and hand them to our kids, and then we wonder why they think we’re all idiots. This isn’t “retro” — it’s “detro.”

i’ll be the first to comment. Sometimes you just need a money making opritunity. Jason seems to be far over Film and is getting back to what matters… Skateboardng. He’s back in the best of ways, i could care less what movie he is in now, as long as i see his next skate part, i will be more than happy. I could care less about Underdog, but titleing this Jason Lee must be stopped? come on. Who are you to know what film is about? Even if you are a creditable critic…. well, if you are a critic then i suggest you stop using the phrase “pile of pants.” I don’t think it is going to get you anywhere. look into Jason Lee’s history of life and never open your opinion box (mouth) about him again.
Ryan, I was quite amused by your thoroughly formulaic fanboy response. You say you don’t care when you clearly do, and you then try to shift the focus away from the message to criticize the messenger. Thanks for the laugh.
People who do things against their better judgment for money are called “sellouts” or, if you prefer, “prostitutes.” So either Mr. Lee thought the world was in desperate need of these two movies or he is a sellout. Not really admirable either way, I’d say.
Of course, I was really just using Jason Lee as an example in making my larger point, which is in the final paragraph of the post.
Wow. That is kinda tru, when I saw underdog i was sorta dissappointed on how badly the movie was done. On the second hand, you insulting Jason Lee is completely uncalled for. Jason Lee is the best person in the world, I look up to him in every way, hes so cool. He was also in Alvin and the Chipmunks(another remake of an old cartoon) and I thought that movie was sheer brilliance, you have to look for the good things. Jason Lee is the greatest man living. Titling this Jason Lee must be stopped was just bogus.
