Hi Vanillia and Jim. , Jim you are obviously well educated , well read and a caring soul. Your choice of films however leave a lot t be desired !!
Vanillia , while I would never argue with your knowledge of Shakespere, I will argue with your mis quoting Mr Doo !!!!
I was at one of his speechs back n 1998 and he felt that after playing the Scooby Doo character for so long he was type cast and that's why his portrayal of Neil Armstrong in , a man , a mission never achieved the accolades it deserved !!!
While I found Mr Doos Henry the eighth to be full and a little dark , the reviews of many a critic pointed out that Scooby didn't get across the total self absorption of Henry , I felt that the scene in which Henry ( Scooby ) demands more Scooby snacks , while knowing that the Hampton court kitchen are out , really portrayed Henry's lack of acceptance of the real world and the reallity of ' normal people ' and our acceptance of real world problems.
Mr Doo went on in his talk to say while he stayed friends with most of the cast of of Scooby Doo he felt that his on screen friendship with shaggy strayed into more of an owner / pet dynamic than was foreseen by the writers He also said that Shaggy was a real life pot head who couldn't seperate his on screen persona from his real life as a former navel commander in the us navy.
Again , I am unable to argue the works of Will with your but on the subject of Scooby Doo or Yogi the bear I think you have found your match !!!!!
So rry to be so serious but there is a time and place for levity and this forum is not such a place
