    Thoughts on sponsors

    I'm no fan of Nader. Not for splitting the vote back in 2000, and certainly not for this. The issue is that PBS needed money and sponsorship for these shows. That's pretty much why the HBO deal went down with Sesame Street. Nader took a cheap crusade of "fast food BAD!" instead of looking...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I'm mixed about it as well. It has a very obvious deconstruction angle and it looks like a brutal slaughtering of kiddy movie tropes of the past 15 or so years. Then again, Simpsons kinda did it twice in separate episodes, and they only needed a few minutes of footage. I love the concept...

    Time for Yet ANOTHER Reboot

    The Peabody and Sherman movie worked at least better than the other Jay Ward movies. That's not saying much, though both George of the Jungle movies captured the spirit of the cartoon pretty much while altering the concept to work as a film. The only major alteration with P&S is that Peabody...

    Time for Yet ANOTHER Reboot

    I'm sure if anyone actually wrote that sort of Xena fan fiction, at least it'd be someone who knows how the mechanics of sex actually works, unlike Fifty Sharts. Now, as someone who prefers his Hercules in a gospel musical that makes fun of it being a merchandise fest and has Danny DeVito and...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Well, MLP does have a huge fanbase, even though most of it is unintentional. And, well... at least we'll have a quality movie based on a Hasbro toyline. For the record, I did enjoy Transformers Age of Extinction, at the very least near the second half where it picks up and stops being about...

    New Labyrinth film in development with Guardians of the Galaxy co-writer

    Again, I'm pretty sure that was accidental and coincidental. Conversely you could say that this was on track to be announced then David passed on. Sure, a lot of movies are announced at the drop of a hat once a movie company gets the license for something, but I very much doubt this was one of...

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    A lot of what the retool was supposed to be about was stuff they were doing all along by the time it went on hiatus. I liked the idea of the branding guru, but I don't think it was used properly. I'd mind the forced break up of Kermit and Denise a lot more if this show was guaranteed a second...

    The "You know what?" thread

    And we're forgetting the worst part of the equation. Oil company share and stock holders and oil speculators. I HATE how it's traded as a commodity since, well, price fluctuations in oil and gas are partially determined by those who say it's going to go up, usually by saying "Middle East...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    A new KFP series on Netflix would be far better. Po's character arc is finished, and without spoiling the film for those who haven't seen it, I really don't think there's much more they can ad without it being a 90 minute long episode of Legends of Awesomeness. This last movie barley was like...

    The Muppets nominated for KCA

    Well, I can see SHIELD and The Flash on the merits of them being super hero related. I'm sure Once Upon a Time's audience is only tweenage girls, so that gets a pas. But I like how another thread said something about Kids not liking or relating to The Muppets, and the series beat out more...

    How's the weather where you are?

    And of course, the closer we get to actual spring is when it decides to be cold this season. For at least over a week too. Yeah. It's "In like a Lion, out like a Lamb" you freaking stupid month, not the other way around.

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    The Simpsons was trying to do what only The Flintstones and Bullwinkle did before it. But they really weren't sure of their own audience at the time. Was it for kids, was it for adults, was it for both? They didn't even have Hank Azaria as a main cast member yet. Heck, Moe and Mr. Burns were...

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

    This one always bothers me. There are a couple things that get my goat in cartoons. The ambiguous nothing language they use in certain shows to give the show a pathetic cultural ambiguity. Because nothing quite says "this takes place in any country" like freaky alien gibberish that doesn't...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Except that Cow and Chicken was funny with Weenie jokes. I hate to say I actually like the character designs of this franchise as they're clearly done by David. I'd almost wish this was a 2-D film animated by the same studio that did C&C, at least it would look funny. Even when he animated...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Somehow I don't remember it but it sounds familiar... I dunno. I bet I could find it on Youtube, but it would be a heck of a search time to sift through them all. As a Flintstones fan, watching the cartoon and the cereal commercials, I've always noticed a weird inconsistency. Fred would...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    This last episode pulled up some pretty obscure-ish Mythology gags. Mikey imagines the Cosmic Ocean monster to be Ray Fillet from the Archie comic book. Fugitoid promises that they'll navigate around the "weird electric seaweed" all over the place in about 2 minutes. That's right. They went...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    There was a short lived food court spot in a mall that actually did sell only PB&J's, and was clearly conceived by Seinfeld fans. Ha ha ha ha... ...it closed in a matter of months. :sympathy: I want to say there was a PB&J cereal at some point, but I don't feel like looking it up. It should...

    Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! impressions

    Somehow I got flashbacks of Megas XLR from that. The icing on the cake was how weak and ineffective the mech really was against the robotic giant. Also dug the Green Eggs and Ham bit that ended with Shaggy and Scooby puking.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    January was really not a good month to release it, but frankly, what was? November pretty much killed Good Dinosaur, December would have seen too much competition from Star Wars, and March....well, at least someone had intuition that Zootopia would be a monster. They have nothing all summer...
