    Another Jurrassic Park 2014

    I bet between the last Fast and Furious, Avengers Ultron and JW, we've already had better box office than last year. Nice to see film goers coming back. Yeah, JW was a pretty good film. I quite enjoyed it, and it seems to be playing itself as a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously...

    The Muppets Movie Adventures

    Wouldn't be surprised that it's not a good game. We've rarely had decent Muppet games let alone good ones. Though NOTHING could be as terrible as Chaos at the Carnival. Just...wow... terrible.

    Am I the only one who didn't like the Calypso Theme Song?

    Agreed. It wasn't so much "dumbing down" as much as trying to remain relevant when preschool television became the "it" thing. Not to mention the fact they lost some important figures in the show. Now you look at preschool television and it seems that there's at least 2 new shows announced a...

    Cookie Monster dethrones Elmo

    Cookie has become the go to for media appearances, and most of that appears to be for the older audience watching. Elmo's still got a crapload of screentime, and SW didn't miss a beat with him. But Cookie's been gaining popularity steadily the last few years. That's a great sign. Grover to a...

    The General Season 45 Thread

    Yeah. 2. Still baffling why he was only in a pinch of sketches (not even close to a handful) this season. Sure the Number of the Day song did guarantee him an appearance in every episode, but we couldn't get a lousy street story with him in there? There wasn't a self regulation concept they...

    Disney blocks Muppet Babies videos on YouTube

    Exactly what I was about to say. They aren't going to release these because they don't feel they can profit from them, yet refuse to let anyone share copyrighted material they want no part of. They took down an entire account devoted to Pepper Ann. A show not currently on television, nor ever...

    The Steven Universe thread

    Those first two episodes this week were nice and all, but those last 3 were constant drama bomb drops. Watching the Sword Fighting episode, I was hoping to see something about Pearl being jealous of Greg's love for Rose and I was rewarded with "We have to talk." Pearl's passive aggressiveness...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    The thing I've noticed that speaks volumes is that most of the Frozen merchandise that hit store shelves didn't come to market until after the film was released. Some a year or longer. That really seems to be the business model. There's a lack of faith that only comes from waiting for the...

    Original Powerpuff Girls Voice Actors not Returning for Reboot

    That's the reason for that, but not the PPG Reboot. The 2k3 series used non-union voice actors that mostly do anime dubbing.. well, dubbing in general. There was no way big name Union Californian voice actors would want that much of a paycut. Which confuses me in one way. The voice of...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    My computer died so I had to get new one and it took a week and a half to get a new one so... I loved both films. Jurassic World seemed to be a little tongue in cheek, seemingly playing with certain disaster movie cliches, and somehow it even felt like it was a commentary on itself. The whole...

    The General Season 45 Thread

    In making a list I left the most positive positive out. The utter lack of reruns being passed off as "new" episodes to fill out the 26 episode order. Shame that there was only a couple new ETM's, but if that cost went to make new street stories, I'm all for it. It was a real drag the last 2...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4526 - Everyday Magic

    Like I was saying somewhere else, if they're looking to fill time that would be left by getting rid of the Abby cartoons, some of it should really go to the street stories. Other than that, it feels like this episode was rushed out. They had a pretty decent concept about everyday tools, I...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    I'd rather go to Universal too. It's got Minions, Simpsons, and Transformers, after all. Though it sucks that BTTF had to be killed for the Simpsons attractions. I almost can't blame Disney for going overboard with Frozen (you know what overrated Disney franchise of the past couple years I...

    Red Fraggle Collectible Doll by Greg Ortiz

    Fraggle Rock was hardly accessible when it was on the air. It was an HBO series. I remember seeing some things at general retail (I was pretty young at the time), and that was when there was either longer turn around for retail toys or when the more accessible NBC cartoon show started up. I...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    The recast thing is the only thing baffling to me. They're trying to make the series as new as possible, yet keeping the distinct look similar. I don't get it. if it was hugely different, like that dumb anime they did, I'd see it. But it seems they want to go in the direction of redoing the...

    The "I'm amazed at how terrible this is" thread

    I respect the Capcom Talespin game for trying to be something different. It's certainly a good space shooter type game with a merciful hit bar. Especially since Sega's Talespin game was beyond unplayable. Capcom incorporated the flying concept as best they could. Sega ruined it, and the...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    The first images of the new PPG series have surfaced and thankfully, they look nothing like the CGI special. In fact, I love the look of the girls so far, but there's just one little problem I have. They're recasting everyone but Tom Kenny as the narrator. I'm trying to keep an open mind, but...

    The "I'm amazed at how terrible this is" thread

    I wonder if like the Oscars, they're going to get bias on real life events. In this case, I hope so. Here's John Oliver's take on it (obviously, this has some adult language, not that much but it's still there for me to warn you) On another subject of awful, this requires some back...

    The General Season 45 Thread

    That's baffling, actually. Baby Bear and Telly are a very strong pairing and usually they recurred frequently. I love the Oscar/Telly pairing as well, didn't see much of that this year either. I could list all the characters that didn't appear much and ones that did, but in the end I'm just...
