Ok humans, how many of you Garfield fans are gonna see this? I hope its good. I really do, b/c growing up Garfield really was where it was at for cat comedy. Oh that and Tom and Jerry too.

Garfield +1!!!111

I wont be watching this movie ever because I like the comic and cartoon show too much.

Much the same way I will never lay eyes on The Punisher movie.

I don't know, man.
The trailer looked pretty dirt, which is disappointing because I not only read the strip but watched the cartoon as a kid as well.

Bill Murray continues to switch roles with the late Lorenzo Music, though. For those unsure as to what I mean, watch the Ghostbuster movie. Murray played Peter Venkman, while Lorenzo Music served as the voice actor on the animated series. Murray voices Garfield in the movie while Music was Garfield in the cartoon.
Enough of my long-winded explanations, though.

I'm glad Arlene is in, as with Liz (too bad it's that no-talent Jennifer Love Hewitt.)
Is anyone else bitter about how Odie looks? They should have gone all-out or not at all, in my opinion.

BTW, this post cements my reputation as the biggest nerd here, doesn't it?

Just making sure.

We buy $300 videogames, of course we are nerds.

I don't care... I understand where Negasawa is coming from but still I owe it to myself to see the movie anyway.

who plays john arbuckle? why the hell is odie a real dog? this movie will ruin the garfield legacy.

Electroman · May 21, 2004

What? Odie is a real dog? WTF?

Ok throw the idea of seeing the movie out the window now....

Odie, Nermal, teh mouse, AND garfield should all be CG... shit

I agree totally. That's why I don't plan on seeing it
To El Duque, the guy's name is Breckin Meyer.

Garfield+Punisher+Scooby Doo = tEh GarbagE.

Frame Gride 2 · May 21, 2004

I won't see it at all. Garfield has turned in a money grubbing whore. Movies.... Whats next... Garfield flavored lubricants?

rarehero · May 21, 2004

I want to see this as much as I'd want to see macually cualkin star in a calvin and hobbes movie.
personally I stopped likeing garfield a while ago.
not that it's a bad strip. but after all these years it's almost like the same old jokes.
antics on the table. jokes about food. jokes about garfield being over weight.
boring boring boring.

El_Duque · May 21, 2004

man the cartoons are hilarious. even those u.s. acre cartoons are funny too.

SEGA_X · May 21, 2004

will Nermil be in it ?

roker · May 21, 2004

No CG Odie makes movie teh suck

I won't be seeing this anytime soon

If that dog is in fact Odie

I'm also a fan of the cartoon and comic strip

jethrek · May 21, 2004

Personally, I really wish this money was put into making something cool, like a Calvin and Hobbes animated show or movie...not more Garfield...

aria · May 22, 2004

As a childhood Garfield fan of the extreme kind, I call this movie a travesty. I refuse to see it. I feel a part of my childhood getting exterminated everytime I even see a poster, let alone that horrid, horrid preview.

Garfield's been on the decline now since 1990-ish. What's next, an ALF movie? YO!

The Garfield cartoons were excellent, but the comic strip is as stagnant and stale as the KoF series. As in, it should have ended a long time ago.

I saw the commercial for the first time yesterday. I caught a glimpse of a dog with "Jon" in a car near the end. If that is indeed Odie, it blows. Odie looks NOTHING like a dog of ANY breed.

Normal dog Odie+A strip that should have ended 14 years ago+cheesy mid-nineties "hard rock" playing in the background=bargain bin tape in five months.

Garfield, the movie!!! Roll call!
