    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I never think the term remake is appropriate when the original source was a book/novel anyway. I feel it's only really appropriate when they directly lift from the original film. I think there needs to be a new term, "readaption." As in readapting older stories to make a new movie. But yeah...

    Cookie Monster joins the Youtube Unboxing Fad

    It's not something I'm really fond of seeing either. But there's so many of these things, and I usually get them in my "recommended" file just because I watch cartoons based on toy lines and they make that dumb connection somehow. But here's an example from my favorite video game reviewer...

    Cookie Monster joins the Youtube Unboxing Fad

    You know the series of YT videos where someone unboxes something? Be it a video game system or a large toy, or something that was shipped to them? Well Cookie unboxes his lunch: Another great viral from Sesame Workshop.

    Pet Peeves

    It's one of those wonders of English grammar that makes little to no sense and is only a rule because some guy says it had to be. it's not just the use of whom, but have you ever noticed that whommmm ever uses "whommmmm" accentuates the MMMMM to really sound patronizing? To me, it's...

    Eleven Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    From the company that sank a fortune and lost it on Mars needs Moms and The Lone Ranger. 1 million profit is better than a hundred million loss. Whatever the reason, no one saw it. Then again, the whole Box Office last year domestically was crap. Took GOTG to even break 300 million... all...

    Your Thoughts: Funko Pop Muppets Series 1 Vinyl Figures

    There's no "dead." It's just product turn around. These things have a very short shelf life no matter what the series or license. Some lines barely last a year no matter how well they do. I'd say the proper term is "retired" and I'm sure the license is just up. I'm sure at some point they...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    The Movie Posers seem to suggest that the movie's title has changed to "Charlie Brown and Snoopy: The Peanuts Movie." Plus, you get to see all the details on the characters. Non-evasive, but what you'd expect to see with CGI. Hair details and stuff.

    The most unbelievably awesome news ever... Ducktales

    Flash and Toon Boom are being used as tools. I'd say the frame rate of shows like Star Vs and Wander over Yonder are far higher than traditionally looking shows. That gives them a unique bounce and fluidity. That's not a bad thing at all. But it's shows like Wild Grinder (I have it out for...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It's a crappy term, yeah. I can't think of a fitting one that won't get locked into a semantics battle. More adult? Slightly less happy? Emo/Goth fangirl looking? That said, know what agrees with me on that? TVTropes To wit: Key Quote? The term is overused, I agree. But to always...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I've seen enough of it to know it's slightly less colorful and cartoony than a colorful cartoon. The word is "competitively." As in MTM is edgier and grittier comparatively to GMC. Still, I have no desire for that sort of film. I keep hearing how not bad it really is and I can respect that...

    The most unbelievably awesome news ever... Ducktales

    Exactly. It sounds like that person watched like 5 minutes of Wild Grinders at his nephew's house or something. I pick that one because it's the ugliest looking freaking thing on television. Even if Problem Solverz was still on. There is flat Flash animated stuff on television, it's just in...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    My point is, Cinderella took a different route. While I'm not interested, I'd hate to see them make it darker for all the wrong reasons. Like that horrible Snow White movie and that horrible Little Red Riding Hood film which looked almost as bad as the horrid Israeli Little Red Riding Hood...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    There's no doubt that's being homaged here. It seems like something with a darker reality as the subcontext. It looks pretty good, but I don't know if I'd see it. I have to admit. While I would not go see Cinderella, I was initially disappointed that it was essentially, but not quite a live...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Supposedly the 2k3 version was too, but to even have known that, someone would have had to have read the Dreamwave side comics. I love how the new series manages to make him a vengeful loser. I wish there would be more instances of him snapping, though. There was that episode where he set up...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Red Sky's not bad until Lord Dregg pops up. After Shredder et al left the series, it got really bland really fast. Somehow, I think the writers knew they were going to get sacked, and set up a bunch of plot lines as nonsensical and imbecilic as possible to screw over whoever wrote the season...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I'd chalk it up as a plot conveyance to keep him from being egotistical and antagonistic. I don't think he was really in the Casey Jones role, so much as they needed another human character. It's disappointing though that an actor that's famous for jerky, nasty, egotistical characters that...

    Uncle Grandpa

    Considering the title screen lasts like 5 seconds or so, it's hard to not miss it. I saw this episode twice already (it was on again Sunday), and missed it both times. That's the magic of the screen shot. Anyway, I felt myself enjoying the episode much better the second time around...

    The "You know what?" thread

    There hasn't been an actual TV Guide in TV Guide either. Well, technically there is, but it's... yeah. Most cable boxes (not mine, of course) have instant menus, so that channel become painfully obsolete.

    Uncle Grandpa

    (Slaps head). Okay, there's a very devious little hidden joke I just got...(mainly thanks to being able to see the screen shots better) Here's the episode's title screen. Look very carefully at what he's cuddling in that picture. Then during the intermission segment between the main...
