Lopez doing Gonzalez? I'm sure he'll be brought back only to be politically corrected. Screw humor. Warner's is looking for cover! As the kids these days say, WTF?

I’m sure he’ll be brought back only to be politically corrected.

Screw humor. Warner’s is looking for cover!

I guess that means we won't be seeing Slow Poke Rodriguez in the movie! ;) I rather thought of Speedy as a positive stereo type – he was fast, clever, energetic, enterprising and always won.

He'll have to be a new character to pull of a movie. George Lopez is one of the most irritating guys on TV. His voice is irritating and they're gonna use it for an entire movie? It's funny they're concerned about the racist depiction of Speedy, when all Lopez jokes about on his show is race. Watch his show and I guarantee within the first ten minutes he's joking about race.

Can a one joke wonder be stretched out into a 80-110 minute feature ? I know Lorne Michaels did it with x number of old SNL skits, but ... Is George Lopez the best person to head such a project, remember it was Sandra Bullock who made his show, well, his show. Speedy G. on the big screen.

If there's one consolation, I guess it would mean that more of the original Looney Tunes will be restored and released on DVD. “It’s going to suck big time and make a boatload of money.”

But just a prediction, this movie is going to suck it big time. I usually try to remain positive and post mostly supportive things here at TDC.
