    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    Have to admit, almost shut this off a couple minutes in and I'm glad I didn't. It had a slow start of the same "obsessing over something stupid" set up, but turned into a great episode about the show's female characters. Even managed to get some nice mythology humor with Terra. Kinda wish...

    When you need to rant...

    That said, there is one current genre of music I really don't like. I don't even know what it's called, so I'm just calling it Faux-Folk. I can't even remember the bands' names, or song titles. Like the one that goes, "I'm in love with you, you're in love with me, you're my sweetheart" and...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    The film as a whole looks far better than "April Brockovich guest starring the TMNT." I've heard that the humans are meh in this one. I'm nervous about Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman, though I'm glad they're portraying him as his comic book and every other animated version of the character...

    Pixar announces Incredibles sequel and Cars 3

    I really enjoy that series, but I think that sometimes they're a little too cautious when it comes to integrating it into the rest of the TFP universe. Took them forever to even get 2 new recruits into the show as it is. That said, I swear they were saving the real Dinobots for RID, but only...

    The Chipmunks

    I don't see why there shouldn't be Chipmunks merchandise patterned after the new show. Isn't it a hit? Wouldn't it only make sense to cash in off this show with some level of merchandising? Might even become more popular as a result.

    There is nothing I hate MORE on Youtube than preschool toy unboxing videos. Toy collectors buying hundred dollar Transformers and reviewing them, I don't mind. I never watch those. But the level of just plain stupid the preschool unboxing videos get. They always contain either "surprise egg"...

    Pixar announces Incredibles sequel and Cars 3

    I really like Bug's Life. I really do. I just feel bad that the feud between Dreamworks and Pixar at the time also gave us Antz, which was a bolder film overall. That aside, it is unfair to judge their second film outing since they didn't really start making their films deeper until at least...

    Civil War was a lot better than it needed to be. It was a transition story to build up the next Avengers film and to shake things up. All the while establishing Spider-Man as part of the shared MCU. I didn't expect to dislike it by any means, and I wasn't disappointed. I think that I kinda...

    When you need to rant...

    Is exactly how I feel about modern cartoons and 90's kids. To be perfectly honest, there's a lot of sides I can take with that sort of thing. There's a generational/nostalgic myopia for sure. There was always teenybopper pop music (at least since the 50's) just as there was some actual good...

    Pixar announces Incredibles sequel and Cars 3

    While I do like Cars, I only really slightly like the second one because it was a better looking film. They spent a lot of time in that dusty old town in the first film, where as they had some great architecture and scenery because of the world tour story. And frankly, I don't mind the fact...

    Pixar announces Incredibles sequel and Cars 3

    So, plot details have came in from Cars 3, and it looks like the plot Cars 2 should have had in the first place. No Saturday Morning Cartoon spinoff plotline, but something germane to Lightning's growth as a character.

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    So apparently Ray Stanz himself approves. Then of course this is the judgement of someone that did "Legends of Oz" and "Christmas with the Kranks." :p NAAAH. He's one of the guys who basically created the concept and wrote the original movie and its original treatments back when John Belushi...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    I'm annoyed that they called this a "New 2 part episode" when it was just the sequel episode to Man Up. Other than that, I think this was a much better outing for ManBoy than the first one. I think this pretty much proves my point that the show's been a little weak here and there because...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    They do tend to feature humans, though with the exception of Cars and A Bug's Life. And...ehhh... the casting in Cars is sort of diverse, if you don't tend to look at the characters as slightly stereotypical. That said, I loved how Combat Carl was the first black guy toy in the movie series...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    I don't want to call out the PPG fandom as being ingrates, but considering that the TTG show pretty much openly tries to screw with those who take TT '03 seriously, the PPG fandom has it sooo much better than they think. I look at the PPG show and at least they're trying. The show says to me...

    I'm not touching Ice Age 5 either. I'll admit there are things in the trailer that look fun, and they brought back Buck. But I only really went to the fourth one for the Simpsons short at the beginning of the movie and the pirates. Kinda wish I saw it in 3-D, but again, just for the Simpsons...

    Gonna be banned in Russia by the guy who's usually shirtless and has an odd obsession with children. I love Pixar and all, and I give them all the credit in the world for this. But frankly, I just want them to do a movie that would have humans in it that stars someone that isn't Caucasian...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    I tend to think of TTG as the "Omake" OVA to the original series. Only it's a full series of its own. I just think the show could be better playing to its strengths than just "Teen Titans obsess with something dumb for 10 minutes." As for Baby Looney Tunes. Yeah. I have no idea why. If...

    It's kinda disappointing AB isn't doing as well as it should. It's not the greatest movie, it's doing fairly okay overseas where it pretty much double its production budget last weekend. It's just that huge amount of money they threw at marketing. It'll probably wind up making a small profit...
