Movie Review: Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

Today I am going to do a movie review of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax. This movie stars Danny DeVito as the Lorax, who is guardian of the forest who speaks for the trees. Personally, I think the trees would have been better off if they had learned to speak for themselves like the trees in The Lord of the Rings. However, these trees kept quiet while they were being cut down. Perhaps a well timed, don't cut me down, might have scared off the lumberjacks who destroyed them. Anyway, this movie is about a time when all the trees are gone, and everyone lives in a town where everything is "artificial" which means they must have filmed it in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a good movie particularly when it is hard to turn a Dr. Seuss book into a regular length movie because his books are meant for children, and therefore are not lengthy. However, the message of the book is good. If all the trees were gone, what would us dogs have to water? I can't spoil the ending so you will just have to watch the movie if you want to know how it ended.

It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia

I was watching the first 2 seasons of It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia yesterday, and this dog thought it was a funny show. Sure, it could use a dog in it, but that is true of most television shows. If they want to improve the show, I could make a guest appearance since I think I am about as well behaved as the humans on the show. In fact, most of them seem to be so selfish and stupid that they metaphorically shoot themselves in the foot in each episode. Sure, it might be funnier if they would literally shoot themselves in the foot, but there was one episode where one of them shot the other one in the face which is close enough for this dog. They also crippled a character by running over him in their car. The fact that the show can still be funny while dealing with these tragic events is noteworthy. The show has managed to sign on Danny Devito, who happens to be a very funny guy.

Mommy has been to Philadelphia several times and she says she didn't meet anyone like those people there. She said the people she met were nice, and she enjoyed the city--things like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Perhaps if Mommy went to the fun places like the neighborhood bars, she would meet the more interesting humans. However, Mommy doesn't spend time at bars. Bars would go out of business if it were up to Mommy's patronage to keep them open. Then where would we find our funny, drunk humans who do such stupid things? Sure the humans are capable of being stupid when they are sober, but being drunk adds so much stupidity to the mix.
