IO9 has an extended discussion of a) the fact that Marmaduke had an appalling opening and b) how it completely failed to engage any possible demographic.

I had no idea Marmaduke was a movie until DH reviewed it.

Marmaduke did not look good. But I don't even like the Marmaduke comics so I'm clearly not the audience.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I did, because I saw this one poster at a bus stop on Sheridan near my apartment....

Because books.
I can't figure out who it was supposed to appeal to. Kids aren't reading the newspaper comics anymore, are they? And I have no interest in a movie about Marmaduke. Of course, I've had no interest in the comic strip since I was about eight, either.

I was so intent on ignoring the trailer every time it came on that it took me about a dozen half-watches to notice Lee Pace.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I watched the trailer a few months ago and it was one of the worst things I'd ever seen. WHY LEE PACE WHY.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it was because Lee Pace was in it that I've known it was happening. Much like MGG being in Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 alerted me to the existence of the Squeakquel.

There was a poster up near work with it FOREVER. For values of forever that equal longer than the Sherlock Holmes poster which is just the hottest poster to be out in a long time. Drove me bananas, as it embedded itself into my brain.
So now I have to inflict it on all and sundry.
