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
RD please remember these deep and philosophical sayings (oft scratched on lavatory walls giving deep meaning). Ahhhh memories of youth.
“To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “"The way to do is to be"--Lao-Tse "The way to be is to do"—Dale Carnegie "To do is to be” and "to be is to do" Socrates and Camus "What is to be done?"—Lenin "To be or not to be"-- Shakespeare "Just do it" Nike "Yabba dabba doo” — Fred Flinstone “Dabba dabba doo” — Kate Bush "Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra. “Scooby-doobee-doo” — Scooby Doo “Hey-boo-boo” — Yogi Bear
Now that is Mornington Crescent. Also need to remind you that Scooby also played Henry V to great acclaim having turned down the role of Titania.
Love ya crazy loco.

Hi Vanillia. That Scooby played Henry V is a common misconception !! It was actually played by Kennth Brannagh who did have more than a passing resemblance to Mr Doo especially in his younger days
I feel that Mr Doos early parts in ' the Streets of San Fransisco ' and as Lady Chatterley are often overlooked While his accent in Lady Chatterly was somewhat suspect his overall effort was remarkable for such a young actor
I do notice that you placed Mr Sinatras catch pharse close to Mr Doos and I wonder if you where aware that Scooby took his inspirationfor his catchphrase from Franks !!!!
Have a great day Vanillia
Glad to amuse you Sunny. When I first joined this board I couldn't believe that people where in a state of mind to post funny things. We all get there people , it just takes time
