I'm sure Bobin's going to at least be a better director and it won't be too Tim Burton Hot Topic producty. But I never really felt this movie. I saw some of the first one and it was okay and pretty much what you'd expect exactly. Other than that, I didn't see the first one in theaters, I...

I like how non-liner they are with the flashback episodes. If they made it a different, separate miniseries with a complete continuity, I don't think it would be as fun or as random as having a small peek behind how they got where they were in between the regular episodes. CN's shows, for the...

That beings up the debate of Holidays existing to be commercial in the first place. Thanksgiving wasn't a major thing until last century, and even then when it started out the retailers were pushing to get it out of the way earlier. I remember writing up some whole thing about it a whole back...

To answer your question, the Peanuts character you're talking about is Peppermint Patty. See, I told yah. Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Highly underrated compared to its other more popular episodes. Though not for the lack of trying. Hallmark does indeed have Thanksgiving Cards and sometimes...

Parks and Red is an incredibly apt example. The first season struggled to find itself a voice that wasn't (and this is the best way to put it) The V.R. Troopers to The office's MMPR. While I did like how the first season essentially crapped all over small town government myopia and how the...

For years they've been selling Christmas stuff even before the Halloween stuff came out, so I'm almost completely desensitized by that. Plus the fact Halloween (sans those Big G cereals I look forward to each year) is dead to me essentially. But then I heard something. The fact that a store...

I really miss those. And the ones with Richard Kind as well, but not to the same extent. Then they replaced it with everyone awkwardly humming the jingle like they were programmed by a cult. Yeah, I'll definitely miss this guy with his great roles in both Happy Days (both owners of Arnold's...

It's unfair to compare all standalone films to Burnt. Sure, you'd think that the same guy who was Rocket Raccoon and the guy from American Sniper (last year's two most profitable films, BTW) would carry a film, but it's all about the kind of film it was meant to be. While we love to harp on...

I'd honestly just care if they'd rerelease them. There's an even higher turn around since they're flooding the market with these things, yet they seem to favor television shows and movies that don't really represent themselves well to toy versions of them. Cult movies I understand. Popular TV...

Heh. I wasn't the one begging. I was the one that said the opposite, that if they can't find enjoyment in it that there's plenty of classic material they do like to revisit. Unless any of the fans had Neislen boxes, there wouldn't have been a significant change. It's not like a movie where...

I don't think that's the case at all. Remember, the Muppet film before the last one went up against Hunger Games and like 3 other kid's films. Sure, it only made a modest amount at the box office (due to the release date...more on that in a minute), but it managed to edge out the weaker kid's...

The Schulz estate seems pretty protective of their characters. Seems that, if anything, this will at least be better written than the last crop of TV specials. If the Boom comics are any indication, their willingness to make new stories with the sensibilities of the original will pay off...

Is my major concern. I'm incredibly furious at Archie comics for all the sudden pulling the plug on the Mega Man comic before they even got to the Mega Man 4 plotline they were building up to. Then they planned a reboot comic series and there were two things that bugged the crap out of me on...

Would be great if that was the case and the show could gradually turn into what the most finicky fans would like to see. The humor of the show is becoming more gentle than the first few episodes, and there's less sex and drug innuendo lately. Hopefully that's the push Prady was trying to get...

If it's a soft retooling of the show, I think it could use it. Just, don't throw out dangling plot lines to satisfy an audience that the show lost for not being the exact same thing they remembered watching decades ago. If they can keep the break up going for the rest of the season and...

I'm afraid they're reacting to the negative reception of the show instead of addressing the issues brought up and slowly dealing with them with each episode. You know, gradually making the show more Muppety but keeping the more sitcom tone of the show. I don't blame Disney for the showrunner...

Yeah... This news is not good. After they give the show the ultimate chance by bumping the series to 16 episodes, they decide "Hey, let's take a hiatus and redo the show for the last 6 episodes." Ugh. The series is just gradually finding its footing after being rushed to production. The...

Probably to stave off any problems if the next issue doesn't materialize for a while after. I'll try and pick this up later today and give a good read through and post a small synopsis and analysis here if I do.

SO...uh...either I forgot this episode existed or I've never seen it before, but ...uh...so they had something analogous to the 1980's AIDS scare in an episode of AAAAAH! Real Monsters? That's pretty out of left field and dark for a kid's show. And I betchya they handled it better than a...

Another Charlie episode! I really think this is the show's breakout character, even though the Bears are pretty breakouty themselves. It's obvious Griz feels sorry for him, while Panpan and Ice Bear can't seem to tolerate him. But Charlie really wants to get all the friends he can get and...
