Re: DreamWorks/JK
If anyone hears anything about this:
http://in.news.yahoo.com/071028/43/6mi7i.html
It's really not as big a deal as they make it out to be. As the article said both parties got overexcited, and apologized afterward. I think he just had an off day (everyone does) and words were exchanged, etc....I've never read of him doing ANYTHING like that before.
Also, I saw him in a public setting myself, (during the Shrek preview screening) and he could not have been any more polite, decent, and respectful to the "regular people" who were interacting with him.
I realize that something like this might cause people to tear into him....I'm not going to say anything, but you might want to think about what I said.
I love DreamWorks Animation, and even though they may going through a rough time right now, I really think they'll come out OK.

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

If you mean the gangster picture, or the mushy John Cusack daddy picture whose suspense-free trailer we've had to suffer through since February, you're darn tootin' we haven't noticed.Code Horror wrote:Has anyone noticed that Bee Movie has a huge competitor this Friday?
Fortunately, early Variety/Reuters reviews paint it as the "most boring Dreamworks movie since SharkTale", and that's from reviewers who DO care that Jerry Seinfeld made a cartoon.
(Most kids don't.)

The animation students at school were given the chance to see Bee Movie this morning... I couldn't go because I had no way to get there. There was surprisingly little buzz (aw crud, wasn't planning on a pun, too ) about it in my classes this afternoon. A couple people were talking about a scene they thought was funny but I heard very little otherwise. So I figure it's probably a solid "meh" - maybe not quite a steaming pile (at least, not rant-worthy), but certainly nothing special.
Of course, I'll probably see it eventually - dollar theater, perhaps. I love Jerry Seinfeld but the previews just haven't really sold me on it.

It seems Seinfeld and DWs themselves are ready to take a knock on this one, from what I've been reading/hearing.
Expectations of Shrek, Shark Tale or even Madagascar have been greatly reduced. As others have been saying here, which kid cares if it's Jerry Seinfeld as a bee?
DWs major problem is that they want to make edgy, young adult sophisticated comedies - a goal for Katzenberg since Aladdin was a big hit with teenagers and up - but they can't let go of the kid grip completely.
So they get the middle ground where kids don't care about the voices and the adults/parents don't care for the simple plots.
They need to go all out with a clever, witty, warm ADULT comedy, and dispense with trying to be too "hip" every time.
