    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It was a quiet opening all around. March just wasn't what it was in recent years. 13 Mil at number one is still pretty depressing. Then again, Chappie's apparently getting horrible reviews, mainly for the rap band that the movie's focused on. I'm guessing audiences are staying away until...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    After succumbing to the temptation of catching next week's two part episode on Nick's website early, not only was Irma always a robot, but the Kraang have multiple Irma-bots at their disposal. Not Kraang piloted, though. Doesn't seem like she's coming back as a separate character, but Kraang...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    And the worst part is, Speed Racer was the good one. It's supposedly come out that Dragon Ball was turned into the awkward teen drama it was because of Fox, not the film's writer. So yeah. They took something that was making money for being itself and turning it into a generic, bland tween...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    On the plus side, The live action Americanized "Akira" film has been stalled once again! Let's hope that thing dies in a pile of nightmarish, veiny cartoon car vomit. Or was it the bunny or the bear? Back on the negative side... I don't know when the heck this was released, but one of those...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Bebop and Rocksteady have officially returned to the show, with the twist that Bebop hates his mutant code name. But the bigger surprise is, the first animated appearance ever of the Mighty Mutantmals coming next week. Of course, the line up is completely different, featuring Slash, Pigeon...

    What Sesame Street moments made you laugh?

    In the episode where Baby Bear and Telly dread having to play with Zoe, the entire Tea Party segment. David and Martin hamming it the heck up while their respective characters are in frumpy clothes was funny enough, then comes Baby Bear's line of (paraphrasing) "After dwinking all that tea, I...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    The worst part of the wacky talking animals movie is that now any movie for kids has to look that level of "amuse a 4 year old who's immature for his age" marketing as those cheap Air Buddies/See Spot Run type films. While I still have no desire to see Paddington, it seems to have been the case...

    Muppets Most Wanted: What went wrong?

    Animal is the most feral and dog like. I don't see why there's an issue there. Rowlf's too civilized a dog to get that role. I'm going to say this and leave it there... I've seen a LOT of the evil doppelganger cliche and it's cousin the body switch episode. There is not once where it was...

    Eleven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    The worst part is when it came out that Lucas kinda always was like that. Many hands made the Star Wars original movies an improvement over his original vision. I'm sure Disney has a group that went over a fine toothed comb as far as the script is concerned. They seem to not want to take any...

    Eleven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    And what truly makes that special is that just before the sale of the characters, those films are exactly what they were marketing, mainly with the 3-D rereleases. Say what you will about Disney, at least they listened to the complaints better than George did.

    Disney classic movies

    I quite like that version of Alice in Wonderland, even though it's the one that famously mixed the two books up that lazy parodies borrow from instead of the actual book. While it's a shame the book took a backseat to Disney's version, all staples of parody and reference came from the movie for...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I started to watch it a while back but never really finished. Going further back, I saw it cheap on VHS at a local store that hasn't existed for over a decade, but as I've never heard of it and various cheap Disney videos were surrounding it, I never picked it up. What I did see was pretty...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Is it just me, or are the Wallbangers on TV tropes starting to get a little.... petty? I especially like the one that calls out D.W. for crying over the fact she didn't get the toy she wanted for Christmas. I'm sure whoever posted that must've been highly mature for their age at 4 or 5 to...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Oh. In regards to that stupid Rassledog movie. They totally say RussellMania in the actual previews. Just not the title because they'd rightfully get sued. And yes. It is by the same guys that created Air Bud and the Buddies films. Animals playing sports shouldn't be a genre unless it's...

    Pet Peeves

    Family Guy of course uses the term satirically as the show was originally a parody of 1980's family sitcom sappiness with shades of All in the Family. Like some weird cross between Growing Pains and that series with Peter being part Archie, part overly sensitive sitcom dad. And the two weren't...

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

    To be honest, TM and MMW had more of those characters than we have seen in years. And I really think we've had that since VMX. I really hope that whatever the next project is the Mayhem band gets their own song. I just keep thinking back to their silent appearances since MCC. I mean, the one...

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

    (facepalm) Seriously? You get that it was supposed to be a joke, right? It's supposed to be completely idiotic and illogical because it's making fun of that stupid cliche. The movie was full of winks and nods. In fact, I've seen that sort of thing done even more idiot ball-y. Remember the...

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

    Also they kinda knew that there was a fake Kermit because Kermit hired him in the first place.

    Who has a Deviant Art account?

    Forgot for a second who that was, but remember it was that guy who posted traced frames of characters wearing their underwear or something? OH GROD!!! Now those horrifying Hershey's Kiss Nipples on George came back to my mind. ARRRRRGGG!!!

    Eleven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Then again, as far as Disney Brand quirks go, they're effectively turned a cold shoulder to the Star Wars Prequel trilogy under their ownership. So make of that what you will. All their merchandise focuses on the classic 3 movies, and no complaints were heard. I'm kinda mixed about how under...
