    The Steven Universe thread

    Personally, I'm excited about the level of tension between Peridot and Lapus they established just as the episode ended. I'm guessing everyone else got the subtle Aladdin reference, especially in the title. The scene with Jasmine and Aladdin on the flying carpet, of course. Music even seemed...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I have to admit, I really didn't care one way or the other when his was announced, nor when I saw the first footage. Yet, in recent months, I went from probably will see it anyway to actually excited for it. I can't believe I am, but there's something about it that somehow managed to get my...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    You can't blame them from being a breakout character. Characters. Somehow they managed to make the perfect kid appeal characters. There wasn't even really any merchandise of the characters when the first film came out. Carnival prizes and a thing of Airheads that heavily featured Gru and had...

    Why the Time is Right for a New Muppet Babies

    Glad someone else said it. I'd also like to see Nanny a little more hands on and a little less "I'm going into the other room for plot reasons." But still keeping the ability for them to have the freedom to pretend things like they used to. There's a balance that can be struck there. As an...

    Big Bird in Heathcliff comic

    You've never heard of Heathcliff? You mean you never saw: Indeed Heathcliff came out years before Garfield and the humor was much different. It was more of the one Panel type strip. And Heathcliff is more comedically energetic than Garfield. Heathcliff was around 5 years before Garfield...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Kinda think there was no reason for Bruce Almighty either. But then again it was the last successful thing Jim Carrey was ever in. You even put him in a movie now, and the thing crashes and burns. Though I'm sure that somehow Dumb and Dumber Too: The Prequel Film Never Existed managed to eke...

    Golden Globes - What's the Point?

    I'd say that's a no win situation. They'd get crap for having their own awards for net content, they'd get crap for web content getting Emmy nominations over broadcast TV.

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I really don't want to hate on O'Neals. They clearly made up their mind to renew it the second it came out, like you said. But the thing is, it fits in more with their line of sitcoms than The Muppets did. Probably cheaper to produce as well which twisted their arms. I'd say that the reason...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    The problem is there are logical ways to make comedty sequels. Just when they actually have movies like Ted 2 and Anchorman 2 that actually find those angles, they aren't exactly well received either. Which is a darn shame since Ted 2 was actually pretty good, though not as good as the first...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I really think that waiting till the end of the season and then reacting to the stock falling due to television viewership was a sign that they weren't even sure they were going to end any of these shows. Not saying a lot of them wouldn't be cancelled, but I'm guessing that if the stockholders...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    ...And there's two movies about Atari games as well. Video Game movies never had a good reception, with the exception of Resident Evil and maybe Tomb Raider. I'd say something about Ratchet and Clank, but it was treated the same as a low turn out TV cartoon film from the 80's in both box...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I agree there's an apple and durian comparison here. But there's a special level to that we forget. While the Muppets have survived project to project, Sesame Street has been consistently on television for several decades. Sesame is a far more important show and has far more important...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    If that's true, it does prove the show is more successful than the dated, and completely unreliable Nielsen system shows. IF that's true. On the other side of things, I don't like hearing about how Agents of SHIELD as well as the other two Tuesday Night Sitcoms got bumped up an hour. Tuesdays...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Home Alone really didn't need any films beyond the first one. Not that the second one wasn't a good film in its own right. But like I said a hundred times, comedy sequels rarely work. It's usually the same story in a different setting on a grander scale with a larger budget. Like I said...

    So THIS is the Latest Trend Now?

    Back to the original subject. While it's not live, there's the Rocky Horror Picture Show revival on Fox this Fall Ehhhh. I thought this was supposed to be a theatrical release. I can't really say anything about the cast from that short trailer. I don't mind Frank N Furter being...

    Why the Time is Right for a New Muppet Babies

    Disney tried its darndest to keep the Muppet Babies out of the franchise to keep the original Muppets in the public eye. While it worked for the comic book and first movie, not so much the second movie or TV show. And they do have those Muppet Moments on Disney Jr without much damage to the...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    To stretch the episodes out, obviously. Don't see why they have to stretch them out that thin.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Seems now Deviant Art is going on the Ad Block shaming bandwagon. Yeah. The very same site that did nothing about Trojan Horse virus software ad that automatically load on your computer no matter if you want it or not that I got twice when I dared have the site on screen when I went to the...

    The "Adventure Time" Thread

    The Saturday thing wasn't exactly a smart idea. Families tend to go out Saturdays, and a Saturday Afternoon slot isn't going to gain many viewers unless the weather is terrible. That said, loved the cameo from Lemongrab last episode. Also nice to know that Grob Gob Glob Grod isn't Dead...
