    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    That's why I say the term "bully" is undefined. When it comes to internet behavior, the word bully is thrown around too much and it really detracts from the major picture. Problem with some sites is that the "bullies" are the original members or the major members, and they have that social...

    The Chipmunks

    CN does it all the time. Though this will be the first I've seen Nick do this. I've seen them once or twice show half a Spongebob, but that was usually after a movie that doesn't take up the entire 2 hour slot. But yeah. It should have been weekly after the first week. But at least it means...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It's a real shame Shaun the Sheep isn't capturing the US's imagination. It was an adorable film around as good as the rest of the animated films this season. Stop Motion animated film has really fallen off the map as of late (other than Paranorman and BoxTrolls' cult fanbases). The again, the...

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

    Wait a minute then. It's safe to say that if the HBO deal didn't happen until recently, they didn't exactly fund season 46, which was probably wrapped by then, right? Does this mean that they're going to start the HBO First, 9 months later Public television airings this season? Seems kind of...

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

    That's something I always hated about chicken egg Jokes. The only eggs that contain babies are fertilized. There's no way that anyone would sell a fertilized egg as that's one less chicken to lay more eggs/sell as chicken meat. Not to mention the goo inside the egg is what the chick subsides...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I must admit, Rugrats I can dig and respect, but it was never one of my favorites. I've always been more into CatDog, Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, stuff like that. But when I watched Rugrats again, I noticed it had a distinct charm to it. And that distinct charm was in the disconnect between the...

    New Pixar Movie Previews

    The comic was basically an after story where Randall and Waternoose were trying to sabotage the new humor based Monsters Inc, thus bringing back the scream power to their financial gain and revenge. Not saying too much more, but the story connects with another Pixar movie, but it's...

    New Pixar Movie Previews

    I'd say there's probably enough of a movie going on Woody's heartbreak over Bo Peep being sold (still wonder why a boy was playing with/had access to a porcelain doll anyway). That was probably the only thread they had to work as another movie left during the third film. I do think there's a...

    Star Butterfly Vs. The Forces of Evil Thread

    I just caught that one. Something tells me that episode gets the reception of "Oh yeah, we have a sense of humor about ourselves. And to show you how good that humor is, it's only going to air ONCE!" from Disney. You know, I was worried about them showing St. Olga's School this soon in the...

    The Clarence thread

    It's great to see another Jeff-centric episode. You really gotta admire how much of an adult he thinks he is. And while often times this can be a good thing (like the Belson sleepover episode), it winds up ruining the other kids' fun here. Jeff's perfectionism ruins his own party, and when...

    New Pixar Movie Previews

    I'm very glad that Pixar didn't pull a Newt with Coco and didn't dump it because it would have been too similar to Book of Life (which is a good movie in its own right, and the director has been working on that one longer than Pixar was on Coco). I just hope it gets better reception and manages...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    The thing that annoys me about the second one is that it's release date took away potential viewership from Princess and the Frog (myself included, they don't care who buys tickets as long as tickets are being bought), and it really wasn't that good a movie. The first one was a pleasant...

    Old Nickelodeon

    AH. Back when Rugrats and Ren and Stimpy were good. Klasky didn't order Rugrats to be an anemic Muppet Babies knockoff with too many new characters who were less funny and more personality devoid, and Ren and Stimpy didn't turn into a poorly animated mess of jokes that didn't make sense. But...

    Pig Goat Banana Cricket

    The super hero thing was one episode only. They're just wacky roommates that deal with an event (say a new neighbor) in 4 different vignettes that start connected, split off, and end connected. All I know is Pig is a gluttonous idiot (I'd say a mix of Hector from Sanjay and Craig, given the...

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

    I'm pretty much over this and let it through my system, but there are two sore points that still stick out for me. The fact SW had to do both of these (cable assistance/half hour chop) because of PBS (job71 pretty much said what I said about pouring its budget into getting British costume...

    The Future of Muppet Cinema

    They wanted to go for something more banal, that's for sure. I wouldn't have minded MWO much had it not been the script that the top of the pile of propositions that were more clever. This movie was written as a parody of Hamlet, which would have been a nice backhand to the two novel based...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    The problem is that there isn't one kind of bully. The big muscular jock Biff Tannen kind doesn't have a monopoly, and often times real bullies are just groups of his sidekicks without needing a tough. Verbal abuse is pretty bad too. Wiseguy verbal bullies are unfunny little buttpipes that...

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

    And yet, they aren't opposed to giving big fat cash subsidies to oil companies. I get the whole "government shouldn't govern" bit, but the PBS thing seems a little extra spiteful than most. I do indeed get the concept of not publicly funding the arts, and can sort of see that point of view...
