Scott, you are an ANIMAL!!! Awww-OOOOOO!!!

I have a quite depressing obsession with Teen Wolf. I owned it on VHS years and years ago, and I think I may have it in the basement of my house at this very moment. Whenever the movie comes on HBO, I watch it. I have to. I feel like I need to rent it if I do not watch it when it is on. It truly is a great flick.

Now, my problem with this movie lies within my failure to believe the plot. I know it is fiction, but I have the same type of issues with most novels - if it is fiction, then why bother watching it or reading it?

Case in point - I have a problem with not a single reporter showing up to one of Scott Howard's basketball game after the kid turns into a Werewolf. The kid changed into a freak of nature (no Barry Bonds, you cannot buy pills to turn into a werewolf) and not one single reporter shows up? This could send a rookie reporter to CNN overnight.

Again, the guy turns into a wolf in the middle of a game of basketball and they just continue? I could have used some realism in that scene... if possible.

The only real part is that Scott Howard admits to being bad at basketball. I liked that. He sucks. Oh, and at the end, when they come down from the bleachers, a kid realizes that his fly is completely down and his pants are un-buttoned... not sure how it made it past the editing crew, but it did.

The only problem I have with this movie is that there is a sequel, Teen Wolf Too (classy), and it blows. No MJ Fox... and it is boxing, which I love as a sport, but not when a werewolf is involved.
