    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I was really looking forward to the Midnight Screenings review of this movie, and it delivered. Brad basically painted the situation for us, the audience had some older black couples in the theater, but the rest of the theater was filled with white teenage girls. A packed house, too. That...

    Possible Muppet Babies Reboot?

    Read that first part of the quote and immediately thought, oh, they're going to make it suuuuuuuck? But I'd hate to agree, but taking the action out of the nursery is the one thing that BLT has over Muppet Babies. It's strange that the Muppet Babies original series is both a series of bottle...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Trolls have been in and out of fashion since the 60's. They're like Frozen Yogurt. They come back every so often and then disappear within a few months. I got suckered into the fad in the early 90's and regret the crap out of it. And I'm a grown *&& man with several Smurf T-shirts. So you...

    The Son of Zorn thread

    Cavemen was a very clumsily produced and written show, and I tend to agree if they did the same episode, it would have been poorly written and offensive outside its intent. They really managed to make the show with in a show subtly terrible, and they really managed to get the nuance of how...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I have to admit this. The TV spots for Trolls make it look slightly less awful. Still, you can tell that Dreamworks wants to establish this as a franchise, at least as far as merchandising goes. I still have no desire to see it, Dr. Strange or no Dr. Strange. It's clearly a kid's movie for...

    Uncle Grandpa

    So, CN randomly and without fanfare managed to squeak out "Uncle Baseball." Not the best episode, but I'm surprised this one went that under the radar as the episode featured several actual baseball players plus what I can only assume is the direct collaboration with MLB to get the actual names...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    You're basically comparing primitive, for television CGI from the mid-late 90's to a 2014 supposed movie studio that forced its employees to work all hours of the night for years to make something far less acceptable than a 22 minute a week for 13 weeks TV show did when the technology started...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    And the fact that the Easter Beagle really was a thing. Then again, Linus is also the wisest, most well adjusted of the group, provided no one takes his blanket away. Then he usually loses it, even getting violent at Snoopy from time to time when he takes it. I'd like to think that even...

    Sesame Street Halloween episode to air on HBO October 29, 2016

    I have to admit, I'm a little...confused about Snazzy Society being a Halloween special. Looks like all they're really doing is some sort of song/skit insert that'll air after the street story. Kinda cheap, but I get why they'd be cheap about it considering. I just don't like how they're...

    Possible Muppet Babies Reboot?

    I can see why they'd do something like that for merchandising sake, but I'm wondering if being left out of the series treatment means they're going to be there at all.

    The All-Purpose Transformers thread

    I haven't heard anything about a renewal and the TV Listing has the banner for finale, though sometimes that's just for season finales. I'd say the program would continue as long as the toy line lasts. I'm not holding my breath for a 5th season, but I'm not going to be surprised if there's...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    The pre-Movies Rugrats would be something to strive for. The show went from realistic enough understanding of the grownup world, showing both perspectives for context to childish and cartoony Muppet Babies fantasy territory. And I'm not even going to bother with what was wrong with the All...

    When you need to rant...

    That's the thing that's creepy about all of all this. Xenophobia has always been a thing, but the extent of which was that unnerving soft spoken in private that sometimes rears its ugly head as wartime propaganda. There were always extremist racist idiots that buy into that whole "the reason...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    To be perfectly honest, I'd kinda rather it just end. I love this show, I'm baffled why the merchandising of this show is so scant, but if the creator wants to give it a natural ending, then it's a good idea to give it an ending. I'd hate for the show to go on longer than it should with really...

    The Mighty Magiswords thread

    If there's one thing that I've enjoyed about these last few episodes it's the fact that they employ a couple comic book artists/writers that should sound familiar. Mike Kazaleh and Ken Mitchroney. If you've read a lot of the Marvel Ren and Stimpy comics (especially at the first half of their...

    List of Changed Channels

    UGH. Not that I give a crap about Indie film channels and all, but... How is it that retro-TV channels refuse to run old programs and focus on original programming and original programming channels want to air only cheap reruns? And not saying that M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, and Bob Newhart...

    When you need to rant...

    Someone has to say it. Electing Democrats won't get you a workers paradise, electing Republicans isn't going to magically make it the 1950's and everything that's scary will automatically disappear. The Dems are closer to what Republicans were like in the 60's and 70's, and the Republicans...

    Possible Muppet Babies Reboot?

    Yeah. Those 80's cartoons always needed to have a sporty type and a nerd type. Scooter filled the latter and a new character was created to fill out the former. That's clearly why Janice was overlooked when trying to add more female roles to the show. Annie Sue as well, but she's someone...

    Right Now Kapow - by WB Animation for Disney XD

    I've seen clips on youtube, and the best I can say is it's okay. Certainly a lot more entertaining than Pickle and Peanut, but not something I'd jump at the opportunity to watch. I can't really compare it to anything. Maybe Mad, but I feel it's more like a kid friendly version of something...

    Wabbit: The new Looney Tunes series

    I've always been more of the Chuck Jones Daffy fans, where Daffy is the angry, jealous, former cartoon star who Bugs completely overtook in popularity. But I still liked the wacky Daffy. You know, the one that Walter Lantz stole to make the original Woody Woodpecker? I've liked the attempts...
