    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I have to admit, I find the whole "there's too many comic book movies" both accurate and a bit snobbish. What Marvel (at least the Disney owned movies) is doing is unprecedented, and none too different from old time movie serials. Say what you will about this line of films, they're competently...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Kids won't care if something is 20 years old and supposedly irrelevant. Especially if the fad was well before that in the 60's. All they know is that they're bombarded by movie trailers, toy lines, toy, cereal, yogurt, and Happy Meal commercials and that this movie wants them to go see it and...

    When you need to rant...

    I'm going to completely ignore Drumph here. The thing I absolutely despise about every election cycle in the past 20 years, it's the idiotic notion that "we should run the country like a business." Okay. If that's indeed true, how come the only business professionals that run are horrible at...

    Big Hero Six IS going to be an Animated Series!

    It's weird especially since T.J. usually appears in cartoon voice work, as he reprised his HTTYD character in (what I assume is) both series, and also appearing as Robbie in Gravity Falls. Though, I always found it strange that in the Tarzan cartoon Wayne Knight's character was voiced by Jim...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I don't see that as being any different than the fanboys that refused to give Iron Man 3 the time of day because he was cast to be a stand in for Middle Eastern terrorists instead of the long bearded Chinese yellow terror character he was designed to be. Movies are never the definitive version...

    When you need to rant...

    Actually, as it turns out, Drumph's rising back into the polls actually happened before the FBI decided to try her again on e-mails. Which, frankly, is worse. Though, you'd think the fact that the KKK has officially came out to endorse him, a Trump supporting racist shooting police officers...

    Big Hero Six IS going to be an Animated Series!

    Strangely, just about everyone but T.J. Miller is going to return. http://www.cbr.com/original-big-hero-6-voice-cast-to-return-for-disney-xd-series/ Like the character designs aren't too different from the stylized 2-D versions of them.

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    I'd say that's more the case with their competitors. I really think that with Monsters Inc especially, it was them knowing Disney was going to make a series of cheapquels and they thought "Did someone ask for a challenge!?!?!" And I give them credit for giving most of their sequels a good...

    The Oh-So-Permanent Thanksgiving Thread

    I don't want to get in on it much, but "War on Christmas" is some of that right wing dog whistle stuff that...yeah...works to put it in the shortest form possible. Religious fanatics persecute their own kind for having slightly different beliefs, and have done so for eons. If anything proves...

    The Oh-So-Permanent Thanksgiving Thread

    You're right, of course. Four candy buying holidays, and basically Valentines, Easter, and Halloween are the major of the four. While all three of those aren't necessarily a just candy sales day, candy is their primary sales. Christmas shares it's candy time with something very obvious...

    What made you think today?

    Time progresses and death is inevitable. No one likes to be reminded of that. I'm well into my 30's, but all my dreams are of me being a kid or doing childish things. And I freaking still get kid's meals to collect the prizes, and complain when the prizes aren't something I really like...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Pixar movie sequels have me mixed. I don't think there was certainly any bad one, and most of the ones they've done so far were ones Disney threatened to do without them if they left. And better yet, the Pixar sequels were far better than the DTV stuff Disney proposed. Monsters University may...

    The Clarence thread

    Anyone else get reminded of Buster's Dino Dilemma? Only this time it was an accident, and it was Clarence feeling guilty that Sumo was "caught" Also, the imaginary cartoon dinosaur that Clarence was imagining. I could swear he sounded like a character from Harvey Beaks, but I can't confirm...

    When you need to rant...

    You know, it shouldn't, but it surprises me because if the Jewish really controlled the media, you'd think they'd be all over this instead of "More Hillary E-mails!!!!!!!! Boy is she untrustworthy." Still... this should have been news at least weeks ago. I was predicting that he or his...

    When you need to rant...

    If I don't get a heart attack next week if the guy wins, I'll live to your age. So now it's revealed that Drumph's supporters are Anti-Semitic as well. Don't see why they didn't bring this up months ago, but...yeah. I take it back, this is exactly like how Hitler came into power. Sigh...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    I'd be more surprised he's actually following through. This is his Chinese Democracy. Maybe once this thing gets released they'll also give everyone a free Dr. Pepper coupon. Heck, by the time this gets released we deserve a freaking free Crystal Pepsi. The problem with Avatar is that it's a...

    When you need to rant...

    At the risk of double rant posting, the fact that the new polls either have Clinton in the margin of error, neck and neck, or losing by a couple points this freaking close to the election has been my breaking point. Like when you have food poisoning and you think everything is out, but it's...

    The Oh-So-Permanent Thanksgiving Thread

    Cadbury's kind of a British company. Even though they have American product ties and their own factory for the production of their candy they sell here, I doubt they'd bother with a very American specific holiday like Thanksgiving. The three big candy holidays are Easter, Halloween, and...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Marketing. Why would they say that a terrible game made by a terrible company that came out of and contributed to terrible LJN was terrible? That's hurt sales of 50 dollar cartridges at the time. Though it's not like Simpsons writers were unaware of their merchandising.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    So... one of the few Black supporters of Drumph, one who was one his entire life, goes to a rally to hand him a note of advice to not say anything racist or sexist and immediately Drumph "mistakes" him for a protester, calls him out on iot with a very specific dollar figure that he's getting...
