    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    I'd give the Claw bit the credit of coming around and being a tie in to the first movie. Sort of a Checkov's Gag. I don't think a happier, kinder, gentler Lotso would have made the movie as good and emotionally satisfying. It seems a little too..well...cutesy boo-boo. Even for Pixar. Some...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    That article really pointed out what I feared to be the case. While old school fans were always whine...errr...concerned about the show being dumbed down, it seems like there's an air of that happening on purpose here, and all because of the former Nick and HIT guy. The fact someone involved...

    International skits on Youtube...

    To be totally honest, I didn't even watch the whole thing, I just wanted to move the conversation away from the fact someone cussed and it wasn't picked up by the filter. This is the "International Videos on Youtube Thread" not the pick on the guy who's language got by the swear filter somehow...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    FXX is an excuse to put some of their shows on another channel that you only can get on super premium somehow. Plus it has nightly Simpsons reruns that, despite the fact they promised not to, air cut episodes anyway for extra commercials to fund a channel that you have to pay extra to get. Not...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    Everything is its own continuity with The Muppets. I'd love to see them reference past projects from the meta scale of them working on them, not trying to make the things canon. I don't necessarily think that's a deal breaker, but I think there's some good perspective if they make references...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    I love it. Kelloggs may not have the grapes to stand up to Commercial Free Childhood's frivolous lawsuit, but GM did. Though, to be honest, Kellogg's Spongebob cereal was more palatable with large corn pop style jellyfish pieces and the ubiquitous marbits. GM's is more creative on the flavor...

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    I find the fact he didn't redeem himself refreshing. The film wouldn't have been as powerful if it ended on a happy, sunny ending on his part. It's a pretty well worn cliche (one that does make you feel good, but still), and it gives that extra emotional push of hopelessness and anger that...

    International skits on Youtube...

    It's a failing of the swear filter, if anything. I think that's just about enough of it being off topic. And just to get things back on topic, I had to pull up this random German dub of a Prairie Dawn and Cookie clip.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    I'd say something about my provider not knowing they didn't turn off the free HBO trial, but I don't want to jinx it. I certainly don't want to lose any of the channels I'm not supposed to get as well especially FXX. Though would it have killed them to give me Disney XD without knowing? Then...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    The video (that seems to be either from the company that animated it directly or someone with the exact credits) does give it an upload date of 2012, but I saw it multiple times on current kid's television breaks as of this week. Though, I haven't seen the thing since maybe last year at the...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    Well, they made a follow up to the infamous Saturday-yaaahh General Mills ad. Can't find it on Youtube, though. It features a girl this time, and it's...well... at least a bit more coherent. Meanwhile, I have to admit, I like the odd Adventure Time Wanna-be angle the new Lucky Charms ads...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    Kermit in this series isn't so much depressed (at least, as he was in The Muppets) so much as a neurotic bag of nerves who nervously laughed his way through a lot of the crap going on. And frankly, I liked that. Reminds me of the Family Guy cutscene about "Bears in Space." "THERE'S BEEN A...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    I have to admit, while I do like the direction they were going to go eventually that we've seen in 3 of the 4 last episodes, I'm skeptical about what they're saying here. About the "mean spirited" thing. That went away a few episodes in. The first episode had that completely awkward scene...

    Old Nickelodeon

    Meh. Now, I get why they'd choose that show, as there aren't a lot of quality programs for adolescent girls out there, but Ginger is...kinda... low hanging fruit on the Nickelodeon tree. It was never really popular outside of a cult fanbase, it never sold the insane amount of merchandise (or...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    I'd think that would be the case. They keep Murray around for a little bit longer and then phase him out after this season. Then Joey left so if they even want him around, he' going to have a recast, or better yet not have him around and dump him.

    When you need to rant...

    Yeah, but considering some of the celebrities the right associates with... ehhh. If I see one more greedy, aging rock star suck up to the very same party that associated with those who wanted to ban their Satanistic music, my head will asplode.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    While the new Batman VS Superman movie is going to be the obvious Apple of Discord to comic book geeks, there is something I'm looking very forward to when it finally gets released. Batman Chocolate Strawberry and Superman Caramel flavored cereals! Don't get me wrong. I did like Star Wars'...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Something I've been misinterpreted as saying, by the way. Now to say it again... Murray isn't just a character, he's a little side project for Joey. The whole bit about bringing a Muppet outside to communicate with real people instead of a staged, safe studio setting was very much a Jim-esque...

    The Steven Universe thread

    I see it more likely that Yellow Diamond sends emissaries to Earth to punish Peridot for refusing to follow orders. She has burned too big and important a bridge to ever have the opportunity to go back. On a side note, nice to see SU get some nice merch out there. T-shirts, stickers (the...

    The "Adventure Time" Thread

    While I am annoyed by the "month's worth of episodes in a week" format, Adventure Time is the next series to get this distinction. The special Stop Motion "Bad Jublies" is set for Thursday, and I'm very excited by this. I've loved the special guest animator episodes so far (Food Chain...
