    We Need Another Movie

    The last thing we need is a Scary/Disaster Movie type vehicle for the Muppets. Or yet another Star Wars parody period.

    Should Walter be a main character in place of Rowlf and Scooter?

    The problem is context and usage. Whoopie Cushion shoes are essentially Fozzie. Heck, Fozzie's main prop is a Rubber chicken to the point it came with the action figure. Whoopie Cushions, joy buzzers, rubber chickens are all associated with him and his low brow attempts to get a laugh...

    Commercial rant time...

    While I'm glad this sort of thing came to light, it took them this long!?! Sure, Social Darwinist wannabe jackwagons love to say "derp... well, we're doing them a favor by making them stronger" but the truth is, they just want a cheap laugh through immaturity and stupidity. Not even so much as...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Someone on some other board once said that he felt the game industry is so good that it's hurting itself. And this was before the advent of mobile games. Bloated titles are essentially to pander to so-called gamers that refuse to play anything under a T rating because they have the maturity of...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I hate how mobile device games are the future. Not that there aren't good ones, but the consumers that buy these things aren't mostly looking for a good game experience. They're looking for menial gimmicks stolen full cloth from something made decades earlier that they have to pay for to...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Rhianna's doing a great job, as far as I can tell with the previews. She sounds like a little kid, and if I didn't read about her doing the voice, I never would have known. Personally, I'm excited for Steve Martin's character. I'm a big Steve Martin fan, and every line they showed in the...

    Does Sesame Street still air classic segments?

    If making nonsense up made things happen, which it didn't, I's just say that Sesame Street staples are more fragrant than octopus flavored tie racks and as a result Sesame Street would air uncut Looney Tunes cartoons instead of Elmo's World in reruns and PBS would replace Super Why with...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    I have to give them credit for at least trying to soften the blow about that sort of thing, but really... Happy Tree Friends was a product of the early half of last decade and it hasn't been funny (barely funny then) or relevant since. Adult Swim shows, College "Humor," and the like have...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Have to admit. Once this hits television, I'd give it a look. Sounds kinda intriguing. Home, I'm hoping breaks DW's "not making as much money as we want it to make, so let's totally freak out like the world is ending" streak. Still don't see why they continue to insist that when their movies...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Problem is, the show isn't shown in new episodes regularly, so weekly bits would be complicated. To say the least, the reruns from 2 seasons past that usually fill up the slots don't follow the same pattern. That would require SW to go back and rework older episodes, which costs money still...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Ah. At least that's an interesting way to handwave/lampshade it. They added logic in a less than logical situation. Maybe all the women looked the same in the post-Middle Ages when these were written down?

    TV Tropes

    Somehow that falls into Creator Backlash. As evident in the example under the new TMNT series where them mention the show runners hated Dogpound until they turned him into Rahzar. Pretty shocked former crappy NBC sitcom Whitney doesn't have a YMMV page. Seems like a perfectly good waste of...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    That's the problem right there. Do they dump an overly repeated segment that hasn't seen a new episode for 2 years or continue to let it wear out its welcome because they have no cheaper alternative. They painted themselves into a corner since they decided to make this an every day thing to...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Let's face it. The original story, or at least the Grimm-ish version of it made no sense. It spit in the face of logic. I can't remember what happened in the Chinese version the story was originally based on, so I can't say that it went that far back with the illogical choices. Noice! I...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    Muppet Babies was a fine preschool-Kindergarten, maybe first grade show. At least compared to the insipid shout back at the TV garbage Nickelodeon started. Let's face it. The 80's were kind of a mixed bag as far as cartoons go. We all love TMNT, Transformers, G.I. Joe and Disney afternoon...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    When the thing was first announced, I really was hoping both of that would be in there. I bet those weren't in the Into the Woods film either. Those were major plot points... or at least the cut feet was a musical number. It would honestly be great if this film could crush that mediocre...

    Does Sesame Street still air classic segments?

    They show fullframe stuff when it's convenient. Can't remember if it was this or last season, but they used Preschool Musical well after the relevancy date. They're incredibly inconsistent with it. But on the other hand, no lazily using kids paint a number mural they always did.

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

    I was watching this episode of The Flintstones today, and while I can't say it was the earliest one, it was fairly early on in the series (it used the Rise and Shine titles), and they did something here I've never seen in a Flintstones cartoon before. Something never featured before or later...

    The Muppet Movie: Crummy 18 minute Super 8 version

    Off topic, but I'm checking out the Flintstones one I posted again. Highlights include: Mr. Gruesome correcting no one saying "His name isn't Soapstone, it's FLINTstone." Fred saying, "Must be[edit]WEEEEEEYOOOOOOOWWW!!!" Wilma commenting on a strange looking chair that's never seen Barney...

    Potential new Cookie Monster segment in development

    I'll agree that the Harry Potter one was a wasted concept and a complete disappointment. Though this would certainly not be the only in name only pun based parody. Not every one of them can be as good as Star Smores. I still think they could get the segment to work if they changed the format...
