    The Funny Videoe Thread

    You don't have to speak Japanese to appreciate Gian (from Doraemon) losing his head... ...quite literally.

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    Supposedly, some of the first season Steven Universes were aired sort of out of order, but there wasn't so much of a problem as those were episodes that didn't follow a strict continuity. Seems that most of these episodes could run in any order, but Bye Bye Bellum should have aired first...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    I couldn't even tell there was a Peter Pan movie when that one came out. I actually only found out about the movie's existence when I went to a Wendy's and it was the kid's meal prize. I'm sure Disney's name can give this movie a boost, but we've had 2 bomb Peter Pan films and one that was, I...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    As I said before, it's starting to get a little more obvious why Joey left. I'm sure the fact they have a new head honcho, especially one from HIT, is why the show's taking an unfortunate backtrack in tone. But I'd say for every negative there is a positive. Maybe the next seasons will be...

    The Simpsons on Sesame Street

    The Simpsons has always been marketed to kids, even when the show became more adult. We had Butterfinger ads made when the show was still a part of Tracy Ulman and we had Burger King Kid's meals as recent as last fall (they were odd little school supplies this time). I even saw a little kid in...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Looks like the Grinch Movie has officially been announced. The 2000 era film was a mixed bag and only watchable if you like Jim Carrey (which I did at the time). I give them all the credit in the world for the settings, effects, and make up. And I kinda dug the alternate character...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    And we had the episode where their new manifest powers suddenly appear. Yeah, I don't like the out of orderness of these airings. It's clear the writers want some sense of continuity. I really hope that future episodes that connect to make a story aren't aired that far out of whack. Besides...

    Mixels Thread

    You're not trying to bait me, are you? Long story short, I have a weird thing about these guys. As a toy line, I find it rather brilliant. Legos are usually used for architecture with the stars of certain sets being the Minifigures. And even then the smallest licensed sets are upwards of 10-...

    The "You know what?" thread

    It really should be stressed that the Chik-fil-A thing wasn't so much that the guy who owned it was uber-Christian so much as he donated to anti-gay charities. I hate how that's lost in the shuffle, but at least he was caught and vowed never to waste money at hate groups posing as religious...

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    I don't even have to click that link to know that's a "head up its own butt" artsy incomprehensibleness for artsy incomprehensibleness sake ad. I get a distinctive "let's pretend to be a weird Japanese commercial" flavor from it too. Plus it sounds like the company is relatively obscure and...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    While I understand the idea to focus on an assortment of main characters, it seems more merchandise driven than anything. While I haven't been able to see all the episodes and have to wait until who knows when to see the episodes I missed out on, I have an overwhelming feeling that Sesame...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Disney announces a Live Action Peter Pan... Because it worked so well for everyone else. If there's something that says "you're pushing it with the live action remakes," it's making another Peter Pan film. Weren't there like two others before Pan that also did poorly? I seem to remember one...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I'd make a snide remark, but I'm too dejected that they'd greenlight The Emoji Movie to say anything about it. And yes, Barnyard works better as a TV show because the writers didn't give a crap. It becomes so incredibly insane at some point that it's impossible to resist. Especially when it...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Jungle Book does legitimately look good. Probably won't see it, though. I hear it's getting positive buzz, and frankly I never thought it looked like it would be a disaster. It looks a lot more intriguing than Maleficent and Cinderella did. If I can manage to get a cheap matinee of this...

    Questions about anything

    Because Democrats and liberals aren't as marketable. Sure, MSNBC was mentioned, but it's never going to have the sheer influence of Fox and Fox Business (which is somehow more conservative). I've been saying this for years, anti-Bush books went straight into the humor section of a book store...

    The next Transformers Cartoon REVEALED!

    Okay. I don't know where this info comes from, and I have severe doubts about this. I got it from the Transformers Wiki and they're usually on the ball about these things. But according to this addition on the Show's page, there will be a second block of 13 episodes come fall, making the...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Here's something I thought I'd never see. Fruity Pebbles recons The Flintstones Kids cartoon as canon! Huh. Reminds me how What's New Scooby-Doo? used the Pup incarnations of the characters in a flashback.

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    I get the feeling these episodes are shown wildly out of order. Like they should have aired the episode about Miss Bellum's thousand day vacation first to explain why she's no longer in the show and the Mayor seeming a slight bit more competent and independent in subsequent episodes. But...

    The "Adventure Time" Thread

    I love these guest director episodes, especially when they get avant garde like my favorite of the bunch, Food Chain. They had a huge gallery premiere in Japan for that one because it was directed by Masaaki Yuasa. Love that guy's other stuff, by the way. I found the Water Park one pretty...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Why make another thread specifically for the current show when one can be used to discuss all forms of the series, movies and comics etc included? You know, I really did love the 2k3 series and all, probably (at the time) more so than the original. But I have to admit, this series made me...
