    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I'm just shaking my head at Dreamworks' decision to bury a huge movie franchise like KFP in January. KFP 2 had a prime spot, sure, and it got spanked by Hangover 2 for some reason, but late January? Even the initial spot against Star Wars was pretty stupid. Why not March? That seems like a...

    We Bare Bears

    Yeah. Counter intuitive. Plus, the cupcake guy clearly doesn't know any of that as well. Okay, now for something that's become a weird observation of mine. Ever since this show popped up, I've noticed there are toys of any combination of two Polar Bears, Pandas, and Brown Bears, but never...

    The New New Quote Thread

    I gotta give Homestar credit. Using ridiculously elaborate schemes involving bone-curdling injuries to avoid spending time with family is the kind of Decemberween tradition I can get behind. Now work me over with this two-by-four before we have to go to Great Gamaw's again. _____Strong Bad

    Questions about anything

    On the contrary. I'd expect Ronaldo Rump to use Putin as yet another fear based pander to the far far far far far far far far (gasp) far far far far far right that's his base. But now that you think about it, Putin is far far far far etc. right as Donald is, only he actually rules a country...

    Uncle Grandpa

    What made Back at the Library brilliant to me is this. Uncle Grandpa is some sort of ageless immortal, as are the rest of his crew. They easily could have written the episode so his tardy library book was hundreds or thousands of years late and racks up millions of bucks as a fine. But they...

    DEAR GLOB! What hath we Wrought?!

    The thing that actually gets to me is this. Reverse Boy who Cried Wolf. No matter how many times we listen and don't believe it, law of averages means one of them will wind up being right. Then again, all we need is one to be right. Still, I lived through two Non pocalypses in the past 5...

    And rightly they should. The new cartoon is vastly superior to the movies for the obvious reasons (though I liked the subtle commentary in the first one), but you have to admit. For Nickelodeon to actually air a cartoon that isn't Spongebob on a regular, non-weekend basis, that cartoon has to...

    Oh... and Jurassic World has congratulated The Force Awakens on the biggest opening ever. No, really!

    DEAR GLOB! What hath we Wrought?!

    On the plus side, we're at the three year anniversary of the world not ending. So that's good, I guess.

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Yeah. Those DVD releases. They pulled the same stunt with their Halloween releases. Somehow the episode where Cow gets glasses is considered Halloween-ish, but the actual Halloween episode, not so much.

    In all honesty, I don't think it would have been much different an opening even if Star Wars wasn't coming out. The new cartoon series is far superior and I'd say watching a good version of the characters on TV for a cable subscription beats paying 10+ bucks a ticket to a subpar sequel to a...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I know I just went off on Frosty Returns a couple posts back, but I'm shocked that it still manages to get rerun every year. It's painfully dated. Now, the classic TV specials are dated in the right kind of way. Product of the times, you know it was made in the 60's type stuff. Only way...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I find their treatment of Bob's Burgers almost sabotage quality. Yet, the show could have easily been cancelled after the first year. It's easily the most talked about of the three cartoon shows on Fox, and Tina Belcher became a huge cultural icon as of late. Yet, dopey sitcoms keep getting...

    R rated movies are rated R for a reason. My philosophy is sure, you don't need to be dirty to be funny, but that doesn't mean you can't. All this boils down to is matter of taste. There was no way I was going to see this film, but only because it doesn't appeal to me. It does to others. And...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Casper cartoons have always boggled me for one reason. The other ghosts constantly pick on Casper for not scaring humans. Yet, Casper manages to scare without even trying just because he's a ghost. So... Casper does scare like the other ghosts, and essentially proves that the other ghosts...

    Sesame Street comics coming fall 2012 from Ape Entertainment

    I actually managed to get the second issue a few days ago, but didn't get around to reading it yet. The third issue was supposed to come out the 23rd of November, but I didn't see it. Can anyone confirm its existence? Sometimes my local comic shop doesn't carry a couple titles here and there.

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Fox tries to put too much on Sunday Nights. And the first half hour at 7:30 gets interrupted on the east coast by football, and they try to shove too many mid season replacements into that night. Always have. The series bumping Brooklyn 99 onto a Tuesday slot looks very unimpressive, and...

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    I'm very happy Pixar stopped Disney from the DTV sequels as well. Not to say that there weren't some actually fun and enjoyable ones. Some of them were essentially pilots for TV shows, anyway. Return of Jafar was one for Aladdin the series. It's one of those perspective/comparative things...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    That's the funny thing about that special. I never even heard of the darn thing for years. The channels that would show syndicated airings of these Rankin Bass specials somehow never reran that specific special. And they had some obscure ones. Some Thanksgiving one I barely remember at some...
