    Commercial rant time...

    I was going to mention it on the Super Bowl Commercial thread, but...yeah. That's not funny, that's not even creepy. It's LAZY! It out-lazied the Metro PCS commercial I just mentioned. And at least Metro PCS did theirs on the cheap. This cost a fortune to realize a dumb as crap idea...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    We're getting our first look at the new series, which has been announced for April. Here it is. Looks promising so far (at least moreso than the special), and the new voice actress for Buttercup doesn't sound too much different. Bob Boyle (Wow Wow Wubzy among others) seems to have kept up...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    I'm more of the type that puts bananas in there. Put a banana in a Reeses Puffs bowl and it was actually amazing. Other than that, I never feel the need to add fruit to already flavored cereals. But yeah, stuff like Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and Rice Krispies. Those...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Will's...complicated. I'm looking forward to seeing him in Suicide Squad, but I love him best as Agent J. That's kinda why I was a little disappointed about hearing they were going to reboot that franchise when they can easily just keep J and K there and pass it on to other letters of the...

    Zootopia! Never been so excited for a CG film

    Still ticked Mattel didn't release a Mira Nova with the rest of Buzz Lightyear's Star Command. But yeah, I've always had that problem with Disney Princesses. I can see where the Madam O's comes in. The movies make all the princesses proactive, then they turn them (even Merida) into vapid tea...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I remember the same thing being said about Iron Man 3 once the Boston Marathon thing happened. Thankfully nothing came out of it. Then again, Iron Man 3 had a pretty subversive message about terrorism and how we want a face to put to our anger and fear. Olympus Has Fallen, I can't vouch for...

    Zootopia! Never been so excited for a CG film

    I find that Frozen gets too much hate and too much love at the same time. If there's anything I can respect about it, it's that if they made it a traditional (read: formulaic) Disney Princess movie it would have sucked more. I mean, Animaniacs pegged Disney for that back in their Pocadottas...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Off topic, I don't get the hate Ripping Friends gets. Sucks that they couldn't be as insanely off model as they did for Ren and Stimpy, but it works for this show. It's supposed to be a 1950's comic book super hero parody, being a bit stiff actually holds that down a bit. I'm disappointed...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    Barring the political rant I could post (summed up to, media over-reporting is why democracy has become a circus side show, especially this go around), I really don't get why it's so important to give nonstop coverage of election coverage as it happens (slowly) instead of just what CBS did...

    Zootopia! Never been so excited for a CG film

    I really blame the small little fifth and sixth party companies (like Lionsgate) that dump out cheap little Dorothy's Adventures in Oz, Gnomeo and Juliet, and Norm of the North type crap. I'm not a huge fan of Sony, but some of their latest movies were decent. Certainly not the Open Season...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Up here, that's when we get blizzards, and of the devastatingly huge variety. Ones measured in feet. And if you're talking last year, we had a blizzard every 2 or 3 days after a dry, but cold January. One of the biggest blizzards that ever hit us (though before my time) was February...

    The Muppets Episode 12 - A Tail of Two Piggies

    Seriously?! They used to allow you to watch the Muppets the next day. Great.

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    I can kind of see it this way. Anyone remember that episode of Arthur where they're depressed and bored and realize they need a holiday? Well, that. All that. Even a die hard winter fan gets the blahs when January slowly turns into the actually worse weather February. Christmas is a big...

    Zootopia! Never been so excited for a CG film

    Frankly, I wasn't too excited when I heard about Zootopia. Not "I'd never bother with this film" not excited, but certainly not the pins and needles I got from Wreck-it Ralph's announcement or Big Hero Six. Then I saw the trailer. I'm bouncing off the walls for this one. It seems like this...

    The Muppets Episode 12 - A Tail of Two Piggies

    Does ABC still let you watch The Muppets the day after, or do they do that passive aggressive thing where you have to wait a week and a day because of something the cable companies force them to do? I think they pull that crap with Agent Carter, which frankly I'm actually a tiny bit more...

    The Muppets Episode 12 - A Tail of Two Piggies

    Nice to know that only my affiliate preempted a great episode for speculative election over-coverage that wasn't even our primary. Didn't even air the thing on the auxiliary digital channel. Just straight up speculation for 3 hours. I really hope this doesn't drag the ratings down hard.

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Uh... 11 degrees? With a wind chill? Direct arctic air? In the daytime with sun? I said "not 40's." 40's I can handle, 30's okay... anything below 20 is painful to be outside more than a few minutes. Need I also add we have the least reliable public transportation system?

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    The friggin' local affiliate pre-empted the whole freaking night for election coverage. PRIMARY election coverage. It isn't even OUR primary. And it's what news networks usually do, spend the whole hour talking nonsense and speculating crap instead of small, interval updates. Instead of...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    You know, I'm not mad that I'm alone on Valentines Day. I'm mad it's going to be brutally cold and it ruined the one plan I tried to make for myself to see Deadpool. Keep in mind this isn't "oh, it's below 50 degrees" cold. It's below below below freezing and far too cold to wait forever for...

    The Clarence thread

    If anyone has 22+ bucks to blow, you can actually buy a Freedom Cactus T-shirt, just like the one Mr. Reese wears on The Cartoon Network Website. And I'd totally grab it if I had that kinda money on me right now.
