Cats & Dogs, certainties & tragedies

[Oliver]

I believe the time has come to acknowledge there are in fact *3*
certainties in life: Death, taxes -- and that the song 'Who let the
dogs out?' will be played at some point in the movie 'Cats & Dogs 2:
The Revenge Of Kitty Galore'.

"Among other offenses, the 2001 talking-animal comedy Cats & Dogs was
a pernicious piece of anti-cat propaganda. The sequel, Cats & Dogs:
The Revenge Of Kitty Galore, eases off on the hatefulness by providing
a token nice kitty. And it’s still, in the spirit of the original
film, an unbelievable piece of shit. The world waited nine years for
Cats & Dogs to expand its mythology; let’s hold out longer next time."

Which was the worst thing to happen to America in 2001 -- the
beginning of Bush, 9/11 or the original 'Cats and Dogs' taking over
$100m at the box office? :-(

You just said it yourself, once again the moviegoers give their
overwhelming approval and prove critics really have no business
giving their worthless opinions about things they know nothing
about. That's why Oscar nominies are failures at the box office.

So, did they have to call her Kitty Galore because a Bond film
already used Pussy Galore?

I have been personally informed by Glenn Kenny, formerly film critic
for Premiere magazine -- yes, me personally! -- that, against all
cliches and expectations, the song 'Who Let The Dogs Out?' does not,
repeat NOT, feature on the soundtrack:

Though the movie still sounds like the biggest pile of total
unrelenting shit since Furry Vengeance, mind you... :-) AVClub.com
gave it their 3rd 'F' grade of the summer, along with 'Jonah Hex' and
'The Last Airbender'.

Seems you're allowed to get away with jokes about WATERBOARDING in
'family friendly' movies these days -- torture, ha ha! -- but God
forbid slightly naughty puns from a 46-year-old 007 film.

On Last Airbender, I discovered two of the actors in it are former
cast members from my renaissance faire! They play guards who get
tossed about by the airbender.
