Thug Life
I just saw Monsters vs. Aliens (very cute) and hearing Seth Rogen as the voice of B.O.B. I had a few thoughts. First, combining this aural experience with a recent viewing of Horton Hears a Who, in which he does another voice, I have decided that, in my opinion, Seth Rogen should not do voices in animated films. I don’t know exactly why, but the voice just doesn’t sit in the mix. In Horton he is a tiny chipmunk-ish creature that scampers around maniacally and in Monsters he is a huge blob that squirms around. Neither works for me.
And while we’re on the topic, Mr. Rogen should probably avoid the pseudo art-house cinema scene for awhile because Observe abd Report was awful. I know it was really the fault of wannabe auteur Jody Hill in combination with the bad taste of an audience that confuses shock value tastelessness for entertainment, but still. The movie was just a disappointment.
I don’t want you to think I’m a hater. I actually like Seth Rogen. I just think he belongs in movies about smoking pot, working crappy retail jobs, playing PS3 on a pizza stained couch and overdeveloping his jew-fro.
Come on Seth, how about Pineapple Express 2?
