vovatI tend to be really paranoid about some things. I'm always afraid that, after leaving the house, I've left the door unlocked, or the stove on, or the computer running, or a door open when it was supposed to be closed. I guess a certain amount of paranoia in this respect is a good thing, but I'm probably over the top.
That new Garfield movie really looks like crap. I knew from the moment I first heard of it that it was going to be crap, and there's certainly been nothing that changed my mind. I knew Garfield himself was going to be a horrible computer-generated image, but it looks like they're using real animals to play Odie, Nermal, and the rest. Yeah, I'm sure it won't look at all awkward to have a CGI cat interacting with a real one. Not only that, but they chose animals that don't even look like Jim Davis' drawings. I think the movie's Nermal is Siamese. I really don't get this recent obsession with making every comic or cartoon into a mixture of live action and god-awful CGI. Does anyone actually PREFER that kind of thing to traditional animation, or are the movie-makers doing it just because they can?
Oh, and the movie web page says that Bill Murray is famous for his roles in "seriocomic" films. Is that even a real word?
