My favorite Dr. Doolittle book was the one where Dr. Doolittle and two other guys beat up hundreds of pirates(?) on a floating South Pacific island that they sank by dropping a huge boulder into an extinct volcano to crack the air pocket. Why can’t they make that movie?
“This is a movie that features a scene in which Dolittle sticks a leek up a dragon’s ass to dislodge skeletons, pieces of armor, and what looks to be the entire Spanish Inquisition. At the end, the dragon rewards him with a tender thank you and a long, drawn-out fart in his face.”
That’s a shame. All the trailers they were showing during the NFL playoffs last week seemed genuinely funny. They didn’t feature Robert Downey Jr at all, just CGI animals, but the CGI animals were funny in the trailers last week.
Cha-ching! I imagine he’s getting at least $25M and a percentage, if not more. Wasn’t Depp getting $50M per Pirates movie? I wouldn’t be surprised if Downey is getting that.
I’m to see this Sunday with a friend. She really, really wants to see it. We’ll have fun no matter how the newest trailers make it look so much worse than the earlier ones.
I used to think Doolittle was good, but not great. Then I finally got a physical copy, was driving around listening to it, and was very delighted when an 11th track (No. 13 Baby) started playing—my pirated copy was missing a third of the album. That was an amazing 15 minutes of my life.
Really? Come on now. I have read a lot of terrrible opinions on this forum, but the only possible alternative to Doolittle is Come On Pilgrim & Surfer Rosa.
