After I saw how horrendous this movie probably is, thank you Honest Trailers for saying what we are all thinking, I do owe it to Bugs Bunny to watch. I actually went to the first Space Jam on opening night 25 years ago. I didn’t care for Michael Jordan’s stiff acting and the continued fiction on why he “retired.” I wanted to see some new Looney Tunes stuff which wouldn’t happen until a generation later. No, I have yet to watch the latest material on HBO Max, I will see it. The Cartoon Network SitCom style was enjoyable.
Watch the YouTube bit and you’ll laugh, especially when they jab AT&T for not including Pepe LePew while other Time-Warner owned characters are in the audience. It didn’t bother me much to exclude the amorous skunk. Pepe belongs to a corporation and they can dow what they wish. If they retool his personality, I’m OK with it. He never raped Penelope (the cat he usually chases) like James Bond did to most women he meets or teams up with. I just agree on updating Pepe’s personality and behavior to something more credible today. Today, Penelope would give him a face full of bear mace.
But today is Bugs’ day! Not the whiney flopping James who claims he was fouled every time he misses a shot.
I also have to take my lumps. Last Year I scored two pairs of Bugs Bunny is 80 Chucks. The Space Jam pair I really liked were devoured in hours. I looked at the e-mail from Converse way too late. Life will go on, especially after I’ve lost a couple hours of my life to this long, long, pathetic plug on all the beloved franchises AT&T is squandering through their obscene debt load. So much for the personality responsibility and restraint Republicans and Kapitalist dictators keep spewing.
