December 18 movie: Scooby Doo 2. Part 2 of our Bad Buffy Night was this one, featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) as Daphne. I hadn't seen the first one and I don't have a whole lot to say about this one. It was fun though I don't think I would have enjoyed it if I had been watching it by myself. To its credit, I will say that we intended to watch just a few excerpts, but got sucked in and ended up watching the whole thing.
It's exactly like the cartoon, except that Daphne acts like Buffy. At least, I don't think that in the cartoon Daphne used to fight the monsters with pole-axes. Also, Shaggy does this weird thing with his neck where he tenses it up all the time so the veins are popping out. Someone pointed it out early in the movie, and from then on I couldn't stop staring at his freaky veiny neck every time he was on screen. Seth Green (Oz) is also in it, which makes this one another bad Buffy double-shot. Alas, no one said "I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids."
