    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The movie would have to have been a cheap to produce film, as the only R rated animated movies in "recent" years to be made were Beavis and Butt-head and South Park. Two already hit shows that were mostly sold by the fact they were able to deal with movie censorship instead of television...

    CGI replacing puppets and cartoons :(

    If you haven't seen the incredibly impressive Futurama Fan Film trailer already, you should. But besides that, considering this is a fan film, there's such a level of care and dedication, that we can see something like this: They could have made a CGI, they could have just sampled the cartoon...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Much like when PPG's creator left for another show, the episodes were a violently mixed bag. Ones that were actually good and ones that were there for their contractual obligation. Come to think of it, I take back about 50% of what I said about the last season of Dexter. Some are actually...

    Changes that you actually liked

    I get the idea of them trying to make shorter shows, but when you have a 9-10 minute doorstop like Abby's Flying Fairy School (to say the least of Elmo's World), I have to admit, it's oddly slower paced than the original magazine format. I agree that sounds like they want it both ways, trying...

    Behold! The Worst Cartoon Show of all time

    Back to the kind of "So the worst, it's the best" kind of terrible, Discotek Media is releasing the worst anime of all time. That anime in case you're wondering is the infamous Chargeman Ken!

    The Steven Universe thread

    I wouldn't exactly call it a filler episode, since there is a lot to it. Garnet and Pearl are easily excited for Steven's fusion with Amethyst, but it feels that while part of Sardonix, Pearl is slightly disappointed in the fact they don't have greater powers while Garnet thinks that the fusion...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I'm highly annoyed by this Box Office Report that Suicide Squad "plunged" in its second week of August. I'm sorry, but anything with a 133 million opening in August isn't going to have anything greater than a 50 Million weekend second week out. For a movie everyone hated so darn much it didn't...

    Changes that you actually liked

    I'm ambivalent towards the various attempts at a block format since that season. It seems that they tried going into a compromised direction of somewhat block, somewhat magazine format only to go heavily into a slightly different block format. And I'm technically cool with the concept of a...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Nick somehow really doesn't care about their other cartoons, though I'm Happy Loud House and Alvin and the Chipmunks managed to be successful enough to be seen daily. Not even cash cow TMNT gets that pleasure on the main network. Though I blame it also on their insistence to shove bad live...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Ren and Stimpy was treated like the red headed stepchild of the network once Rugrats' second wind hit. It pretty much disappeared from the network entirely mid to late 90's. Rugrats, we all seem to forget, had the same level of being constantly rerun into the ground as much as Spongebob is today.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Suicide Squad is pretty frustrating. It had all the right ingredients, the cast was amazing, it was a movie everyone was hoping would pick up the DCU from the Snyderisms that faulted Batman V Superman, and yet, this explains why we frankly had the worse Ghostbusters remake. Now, I don't think...

    The Funny Videoe Thread

    Here's a new show opening of Svengoolie for the "House of Dracula," where he battled a narrator who spouts a series of bad "House" puns and pop culture references. Especially take note of the Batman:The Animated Series quote used for "Fuller House (of Dracula)"

    The Nicktoon Thread

    I got crap for Ren and Stimpy in High School, when the show was clearly intended for drunken college kids. It's that obnoxious thing about kids waning to be adults but ignoring stuff that's actually adult and made exclusively for teenagers to grow out of once they turn 18. Yet, Beavis and...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Toxic Crusaders is what I like to say is in the higher quality level of 1990's TMNT wannabes. Right up there with Bucky O'Hare and C.O.W.Boys (despite ABC's constant stifling of the series). And yet everyone remembers the abysmal Street Sharks series. Toxic Crusaders catches me as the better...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Ahem.... Not anymore. Insert long rant about sister channels being only available on the super large premium cable packages with hundreds of channels you'd blissfully ignore here. I don't get XD, but I get all three Nick channels, Playhouse Disney and Boomerang. Was also annoyed I didn't get...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I plan to see it only because I'm aching for an American produced adult animated movie that isn't based on a TV show. Plus, the low bar of forgettable if not for the internet 70's Fritz the Cat knockoffs (including its own even worse sequel) would make this film look like an instant classic. I...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    I'd like to point out that it's funny this movie is considered that much a loss considering how poorly most of the summer movies did. It all comes down to Hollywood book-keeping, and the film made back its production budget, but they threw so much at advertising, it's considered a failure...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    I don't think any Ghostbusters movie would have been necessary. Especially not a third one. The second was dumb enough, a 30 year old stalled sequel wasn't going to get good reception, no matter who was behind it. Look at Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. I still fail to see why that was...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    That's something I usually come to accept. Just... I get being angry that there's a "reboot," even though it's basically just a placeholder film because Sony grew tired of waiting for the third movie to actually happen since everything's been stop and go. That's a given. I can even understand...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    The Ghostbusters fanbase has proven themselves to be the worst fanbase online with this. And that's saying something because all fanbases online are essentially terrible. I mean, definitely the Sonic the Hedgehog "everything they made after Sonic Adventure was horrible, but we'll make X-rated...
