I'm going to have to wait until after Christmas for this one, hopefully the crowd will thin out just a little by then so I'm not in danger of going all the way to the theater and having it sold out. Have to admit, I was nervous as heck about this movie's reception, but the buzz seems to be...

About Star Wars... do the advanced ticket sales count for the box office take, or are they separate from the at the door tickets? It already made about 100 Million in advance sales, plus over 55 mil on Thursday alone, and also 73 million internationally. Thing probably made back its budget...

Anyone else find the episode "Ballroom" to be Ren and Stimpy-esque in its animation and to a certain extent the tone? Certainly, Mr. Gus's angry rant at UG and PS felt like an accidental homage to the Cousin Sven episode. Not to mention how UG suddenly had a manly physique when he made the...

I think what we all need to appreciate here is Disney under Eisner was bound on making cheap DTV sequels to all their movies, even going so far as crushing a bunch of episodes of an unsold show together to make a "movie" out of them. Toy Story 2 was exactly that case, but Pixar wanted to do...

I really like how that episode was self-parody of other Christmas Scooby-Doo specials. This time, having Fred going out to seek one, and trying to find connections between a seemingly normal mystery with no holiday tie in. A real subtle way of mocking how everywhere they turn up is a mystery...

YT is being highly passive aggressive with the ad-block. Videos don't even start until the commercial's time duration, even if you don't see the commercial.

While we're on the subject, anyone else think that Point Break is the result of someone trying to Out-Michael Bay Michael Bay? Somehow, it makes his Transformers movies deep think pieces.

I think the changes were inevitable. I also feel the new ex-Hit guy foisted some of the changes on himself, and it would all have depended on how much sway Kevin had on the show. I have a feeling he'd only be slightly more successful than Joey, but most of the changes would have happened...

I've never thought their sequels were that intrusive on their quality. Like I said, MU just had the pleasure of being the public's hate bone for not being an original film, even though when they had that original film in between Cars 2 and MU, they hated that one for other reasons. As I've...

As far as the TV show goes, I had a feeling that no matter what the result was, it wouldn't get as big of an audience as it did demand. And, honestly, the first few episodes were a turn off because they weren't doing what they should have been doing in the last 3 of 4 episodes. The...

I get that some of the fandom is ticked that the Stuffed Custards are no longer bullies (though they barely were to begin with), but I also like how Rattles is getting more character to him other than the standard tough not too bright semi-bully you see in these things. They gave Molly some...

Off subject, but I can read the room and the fandom. You'll be delighted to know that they've announced a certain 1990's cartoon series about rouge cartoon characters that had to be locked in a watertower as a set of Funko figures. For those dying to have Wakko, Yakko and Dot with that vampire...

I swear I remember seeing Ebert and Someone Else (Richard Roper, maybe) bashing this movie in a review. But the thing that stuck out to me was they were baffled by the fact Thomas's mouth didn't move. Clearly they weren't familiar with the source material. Of course, Thomas is much more...

I could never take much out of the franchise since it moved to an all CGI format instead of the model trains with narration, but honestly I didn't really care much since Shining Time Station stopped being run. I mean, I like the characters enough to get the Pez dispensers and some crappy...

I don't think it's so much that. It sounds like something more substantial, like something with the tone or direction of the show we won't really get until we see these. It sounds pretty concerning to me, like what's coming up could potentially be an epic dumb down to keep relevant. I don't...

Like I said in another thread, I do not trust a warm December. Never. They can say "El Nino" pattern all they want, but it'll be the same. Warm, deceitful December, mild beginning of January... then it happens. The jet stream collapses by January 15 dropping us from above normal temps to...

The Letter People is pretty underrated because of the huge shadow cast on it by a certain happiest street in the world. It's highly influenced by Sesame Street, borderline trying to cash in of the popularity. Seems like the show didn't really find a good voice for itself until like about 1/4...

I've seen some of that movie and it feels pretty mean spirited. I don't think there's been a remotely good Christmas movie since Home Alone 2 or even the first Santa Clause film. Then again, it's YMMV, since there are those who like Elf, and that's cool, but I feel Will Ferrel works better...

Have to admit. There aren't any overly offensive or annoying Christmas themed commercials this year. Then again, there aren't any interesting or clever ones either. And must we always have some company use Rudolph characters for their ads? The Sprint ones aren't that good. Of course...

My feelings exactly. I'd say a format shift may be one of many things that broke the camel's back, not so much losing Murray, but losing that segment which Joey pretty much labored over. I'd see him being a little honked off if it was his main project on Sesame Street. Not the soul reason...
