    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I really liked The Jungle Book. It's a little ragged storywise here and there, but overall a great looking film that's well acted by everyone involved. Christopher Walken's King Louie needs to be seen to be believed. I'm agreeing with Brad Jones about Huntsman Winter's War. They just made...

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

    Honestly, I completely agree to that since the show always had those really bad filler sketches that are just there to make sure the show is a half hour longer than it needs to be. And we certainly can't count on Robert Smigel-esque animated segments that at least have a funny tonal shift in...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    ..and that's why there's so many ticked off at the new film. I really wish these little fan documentaries would get national releases. I'm still waiting for the documentary of the "Superman Lives" making of. That feels like we're going to be given a tour of the trainwreck. Say what you will...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    While I did enjoy the episode, I was about to write it off until Mordecai was questioning what's happening with his and Rigby's lives. That was a real Wham line that I hope pays off soon enough. The series has always been a coming of age series, but considering that line in the episode and...

    The next Transformers Cartoon REVEALED!

    I'm also glad Bee gave a nod to his former Earth team mates who were also stuck in the shadow zone back in TFP. I've been waiting to see more solid links between the shows in this series. Took a while, but I'm glad that we got the Shadowzone and Soundwave back in there. I've pretty...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4616 - Rocco's Playdate

    Of course this episode would be the one to air when cable subscribers get the free weekend to watch Game of Thrones. Had these rerun episodes not have been decided upon before the HBO partnership and then later as a result of needing more episodes to fill out the order, I'd feel a might ripped...

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

    Yeah. The toilet one I'm ambivalent about. It's stupid, but one of the episodes earlier on where the "Titans obsess over something stupid" episodes were spaced out among episodes that at least reference them being Super Heroes. But I look at the episodes that intend to troll the audience that...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I think Robin Williams still did stand up. It's more of a money thing than a street cred thing. When you become a huge star, it would cost a crapton of money for a club to book them, and that's not as appealing as movie offers pouring in. That's not to say they don't occasionally, especially...

    The Steven Universe thread

    OOOH! Funko is releasing blind box Steven Universe figures. Cool. Peridot and Lapus Lazuli are part of the line up. Surprised that We're getting Amethyst Steven. I like the line up so far, though a surprising lack of Ruby and Sapphire.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4615 - Birdie and the Beast

    Absolutely. This was the season's best episode so far, and it didn't feel rushed or abrupt like some of the other episodes did. A nice self contained street story starring Big Bird. Elmo and Abby were there for the sake of having them there. They could have been any character, but that's the...

    Rovio Is Teaming Up With Marvel To Create Angry Birds Movie

    Seeing the new TV spots showing scenes incorporating more of the actual Angry Birds Game elements into the film, I'm actually a little more excited by this. The merchandise is just hitting store shelves too. Is it just me, or does the Mime Bird in the TV Spots sound like he's the same voice...

    The Real O'Neals impressions

    Fox was a lot prouder of Grandfathered on lower than low ratings than ABC was of The Muppets when their ratings weren't great. I watched some of it once and while I give them credit for an originalish concept, it simply wasn't good. Never got to see any Grinder episodes, but I get the appeal...

    The Amazing World of Gumball Thread

    The Signal seems to be an episode written around one of the writers getting ticked off at digital television. And frankly..yeah. I know it's supposed to be satellite broadcast, but digital TV sucks. Especially the broadcast free digital converter stuff. Just... if it's slightly windy or not...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The only person who played The Joker who really did an awful job I'd say was Lenny Weinrib in The New Adventures of Batman. Other than that, I do like Jack Nicholson, but he seems to jut be playing Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger did a great job... so great that the film after it suffered from a...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    I'm kinda disappointed the reveal is that no time has really passed and they're still Kindergarteners. It comes off a little weird they're in advanced classes, but I can overlook that for the solid Bubbles destroying the school accidentally cutscene. Yeah, some of these episodes really feel...

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

    This episode really seemed to be the writers venting on the limitations that I'm starting to think are partially why the show is the way it is. I remember one of them saying about "Serious Business" how they'd never be able to make the episode if Khary Peyton wasn't the voice of Aqualad. Then...

    The Real O'Neals impressions

    Maybe these Tuesday Night shows wouldn't have been such a ratings disaster had it not been for the constant primary coverage. People might still have been voting up until the polls closed, some local networks probably blotted out the night's programming. Or maybe people are just tuning in for...

    Sonia Manzano to Recieve Lifetime Achievement Daytime Emmy

    But they're not Daytime Television. I really wish dwmckim (or whatever his name is) would weigh in on this, but like I said, I'm surprised they're even bothering with Daytime Emmys anymore. Soap operas still exist somehow, and their fanbases are lucky as crap they haven't all been tossed in...

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

    Nice to see a different writer for a change this season. It's one of the producers again, and I think he did a better job about playing with the subject matter than Ben usually does. I liked how it was a sarcastic clip show that seemed to be mandated by WB animation, and Robin spent the entire...

    R.I.P. Prince (1958-2016)

    I think this scene sums it up best.
