    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Yeah. I know there are some stuck on the headcanon that the priest in MTM was real because of an offhand comment (uh...don't you also need a license, and if Piggy was that desperate, she'd just try to forge his signature, eventually leading to Kermit really blowing his top at her for it...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    UGH.... We have a real live one. Just...just... I...really Lionsgate? REALLY?!?! This looks like this was a movie from 2003 that somehow was so unremarkable that they forgot about it until the cleaning crew found it in the back of a closet. If the Pez movie isn't "Outcast tries to prove...

    Power Rangers

    I can't say I've ever been a real fan, but I've grown respect to the franchise and fanbase over the years. Would be mighty hypocritical to like Ultraman and Godzilla, but hate MMPR at the same time. That's the one the Nick just finished about them being able to turn into other rangers from...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    As I said, this is something that we didn't already know by the description of the series. As far as I'm concerned, this thing we already knew was going to happen is so obviously going to be a plot point in the series proper. Isn't it worth it to see the characters eventually reconcile (which...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Kinda what I said. A product has to have some sort of story to work as a film. Even ones that do manage to barely squeak by. Hasbro and Lego are both companies that built worlds with their products, and in most cases the story comes just before these things get to market. How else would you...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Clearly just trying to drum up some publicity for the show, while introducing a plot point we already knew. Cue the overreactions....

    DEAR GLOB! What hath we Wrought?!

    I already mentioned my rant against PEZ being a movie. Short story, the Lego Movie can't be duplicated, but hey let's try anyway and fail at it. But I have to say, The Three Stooges impersonators deserve another chance at a film, one free from the hands of those awful Farrely Brothers. Dumb...

    Questions about anything

    In hindsight, given Chris's reputation, they made the right choice. I think what really made The Simpsons special was that, other than Nancy Cartwright (and eventually Russi Taylor and Tress MacNeil), they didn't use traditional voice actors and actresses for main series characters. Futurama...

    How's this for a travesty of animation justice?

    You'd think with a lot of classic Hanna Barbera cartoons that have yet to see any kind of DVD release, even through the MOD line (which this will be), WA would have picked up any of the great, memorable HB classics. You'd be wrong, as they've picked one of the bottom of the barrel Scooby...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    The Lego Movie worked because there was no way that it could have and yet there was no way it couldn't have. By all means, it could have just been a toy commercial of a movie, and yet managed to blow other toy commercials of movies with deeper mythos (which was screwed up) out of the water...

    The Chipmunks

    Other than the CGI, a couple at the moment references, and small size, I could almost swear this is the early 90's version of the show. It was by all means pretty good, and I really like the character designs on this one. Much better than the "this is how they'd look in real life" CGI movie...

    Video: Jungle Boogie with the Electric Mayhem

    I wonder how another song would work. The humor here is all in Sam's stuffiness, and we've seen him angrily reading the lyrics of a song he found beneath him before. But there's something special in the fact the song is repetitive, lyrically pointless, and essentially just dance music. His...

    Worst/creepiest puppets/puppeteer work

    An epilogue to the Wee Bee World brutal slaughtering by that web critic... seems Wee Bee World is incredibly intolerant...to criticism. He's apparently flagged the video and spammed it with obnoxious amounts of self righteous oblivious defensiveness. And he's a total butthat about it too...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Well, big budget action flick vs comedy that probably plays the same on the big screen or streaming with no major difference. Still, seems from word of mouth the problem was the Griswolds and everyone else in the movie were the only bright spots. Even the worst reviews seem to have praised...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Mission Impossible manages to make a modest 56 Mil, while Vacation's getting just about the reception you'd think Meanwhile, Pixels continues to fail. Ant-Man and Minions still dominate over it a few weeks later. I wonder how many more nails in the coffin it's going to take to finally end...

    The Rick and Morty thread

    On any other cartoon, Rick's abuse at Morty like in last nights episode would have been some cheap laughs. Here, you can tell he's frustrated because of Morty's idealism. Like he knew in advance that And that gets me to realize the obvious. Rick wants to crush Morty's idealism because it's...

    We Bare Bears

    That episode really seemed like it was the pilot, first episode written, or some sort of launch episode. It's like it introduced all the characters that we know already. But delightful none the less. The mouse screwing up Panda's facebook page, and losing "friends" as a result was a nice...

    The Chipmunks

    Yeah. On the plus side they aired a couple adverts during the new episode of TMNT today...which also didn't get any advertisement. Maybe because it wasn't that terrible "Middle School Mystery" telefilm that's clearly another pilot for another by the numbers, piece of garbage kiddycom.

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Sounds like that depends on if PBS has a new series to put in that place. Haven't heard of one yet, and the thing must be cheap enough to produce. It's just reruns cut up. Sometimes a little too thickly (still hate they cut off the ending of "Get Lost, Mr. Chips"). Unless there's a good...

    Worst/creepiest puppets/puppeteer work

    Thought as much. So it really isn't even that much money unless you're somehow popular enough. Probably explains why they randomly use popular characters and dump a bunch of random popular search topics into their videos. Even then, Wee Bee World looks like it has a 10 dollar budget. If they...
