The Godfather

All paws up!

Ebby: Actually, we missed the first 15 minutes of this movie because Mommy brought home McDonalds and we found the Big Mac way more interesting to watch. Once the food was gone, however, we were able to sit back and enjoy this classic. The Godfather is a heart-warming tale of a family struggling to uphold its Italian heritage even though people keep trying to kill them. There is a noticeable lack of pugs in this film, but I believe that Michael Corleone, a man who puts family first, would make a devoted pug Daddy. I’d like to see somebody come up to Michael Corleone and tell him his pug is ugly. Michael would just stare at this person with his chillingly impassive gaze and the next day, that person would be swimming with the fishes.

Swoozie: There’s an annoying lady at the dog park who always talks about how ugly we are. She needs to take a long, objective look at her own freaky Labradoodle before she comments on our appearances! Yes, Michael Corleone would definitely whack her, sending a terrifying message to others like her: Pugs are NOT ugly! We are cute adorable cuddly little babies, and if you disagree, you die!

Swoozie: I don’t think I like movies where people dance around because it makes me want to jump in the screen and bite their legs. Also, this movie made me nervous because Mommy kept saying that the Jude character was a beautiful man. What if she leaves Daddy for Jude? I’d miss Daddy, and besides, what if Jude is one of those rich people who likes to wear fur coats? Since my own coat is so beautiful and glossy, it’s conceivable that he’ll want to make a fur coat out of me.

Come to think of it, it’s quite conceivable that way before Across the Universe was even made, Jude saw me and wanted my fur so badly that he hatched a Lolita-like plot to marry Mommy to get to me. And what better way to get to Mommy’s heart than by making a movie musical of Beatles music? Clearly, the plot was thin, the characters were weak, and this whole thing was an excuse to set Beatles music not even sung by the Beatles to a series of flashy music videos so that Jude can steal my fur! Well, I’ve got news for you, Jude Jude Judey Judey Judey, you may have fooled my Mommy, but you haven’t fooled me!

Ebby: I don’t think pugs should hate a movie just because it was written, funded, produced, distributed, and marketed with the purpose of stealing their fur. I’d hate to see you lose your flesh, Swoozie, but I really enjoyed Across the Universe. I'm only 1 year old so I wasn't around for the Beatles, but I've barked along to their CDs. I'm a huge fan. It was exciting to hear new versions of old favorites done well and with style. And the cinematography! We should commend movies that dare to be innovative. Like the Pug Haunted House sculpture by Danbury Mint, this movie is visually stunning.
