    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Running off Community was more or less due to their disdain for Harmon. That message was clear. And Totes (burrrrp) Malotes they're trying to get a mainstream audience. Problem is, they couldn't fail harder at it if they tried. their latest line of new sitcoms is poor. They didn't even last...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    That's what I pretty much understand. Retailers only want movie tie ins because they make more money and they can clear them out no problem if the movie's a flop. When it's a hit, it takes a chunk out of any other version of that property. Wal*Marts wanted Transformers Movie merchandise that...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    Hype and overexposure do ruin characters, that is true. Disney's 90's- 00's era Winnie the Pooh franchise milking made me hate the character, one I loved as a younger child. Especially since even Mickey and Co got a backseat to Pooh, and Pooh beanbags in different sweaters were all they sold...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    So, anyone catch the Parks and Rec finale? I really liked it, and I missed the obvious Actor Allusion Easter Egg until I had to read about it on Comic Book Resources. One of the Trick or Treaters Andy was handing candy out to was wearing a Star-Lord costume. I really like how everything was a...

    When you need to rant...

    A huge part of the problem is the lack of equipment, money, and a group to collaborate with. I fear it's too late and I'd have to start all over. The DA thing was supposed to be a temporary stop, but it's basically been my only source of exposure. I was thinking of having a dual page on...

    Eric Jacobson performs Oscar on Sprout's Sunny Side Up Show

    I think what the Muppet related companies, SW in particular, is pretty smart. Understudies groomed for recasts in case of something happening to the original performers. Especially with irreplaceable characters iconic to the Sesame Street brand. If they didn't, there would no doubt be...

    New VeggieTales series "In the House" coming to Netflix Nov. 26, 2014

    From what I understand, they planned to release several episode at a time, usually around school vacations and holiday periods. Which makes sense, considering that's prime time to get that demographic. That was their plan with Turbo, and it seems to be the plan with others. Though, some of...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    That's the thing that bugs me. The nicheness of the collector's market. Indeed there are times when something can succeed based on nostalgic property that has not even so much as a new series in the works. That sort of stuff can do quite well in comic shops and stores that cater to collectors...

    New VeggieTales series "In the House" coming to Netflix Nov. 26, 2014

    Wondering when other Dreamworks Netflix shows are going to get more episodes. I'm really into Puss in Boots, but went through the first five episodes in no time. I didn't even finish up what they've had of King Julien yet, and I should. I'm sure Turbo's completed, which is a shame since they...

    The Future of Constantine

    It depends on if there are any future project period. I think Constantine can be a member of the troupe, just one of the third or fourth stringers. Depending on the tone of the project. I say, if they're going for viral videos, more Constantine, please. There's less context there. In could...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Bullwinkle, by comparison, is one of the most sophisticated in terms of humor there is. Have you ever heard of a cartoon series promoted via a series of lush, yet eccentric galas? Jay Ward was the only one to do so as far as I know. Even Fractured Flickers got that extravagant "Coney Island...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    Muppets, yes, but it seems everything has to be tied into a movie. You can't even have nostalgic products unattached to some movie. Not anymore, anyway. And it's a double edged sword. If the movie's a success, you get more movie leaning stuff. If it's a failure, you never hear about them...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    That's the kind of films that older people see because they don't make them like something they never actually watched anymore. I just love the irony of a low key movie that attracts older women getting sequeled to heck like any other film there is. Not to mention that the First Royal Marigold...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    You know. The fact that there's going to be a Second Best Marigold Hotel (or whatever that was called) makes me want to say that every older movie goer that whines about how there's no original movie ideas in Hollywood have completely lost their license to complain. Old British People in India...

    Cookie Monster Chase: Secret hidden promotional Video Game

    Pac-Man's better played on a Joystick. I'm sure there's a way to do that, but I don't have one of those. My only small complaints are that Cookie always stays slow, while in Pac-Man, he speeds up with the ghosts' speed, progressively per level. Also, there's an unfortunate glitch that if...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    Great to see the previously lost puppet segments. It would be great to see whatever animated stuff was actually finished, but somehow they sound like they're lost forever. I wish, at least, some of the animation cels of those would surface, but they'd probably be expensive as they're...

    Eric Jacobson performs Oscar on Sprout's Sunny Side Up Show

    It's all about character first, vocal impression second. But I agree that Eric seems only natural if the unfortunate should happen, or the less unfortunateness of just not being available. It needs a little polish, but overall, he seems like a natural for a recast.

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    I think the problem was they bit off more than they could chew with all the licenses. I blame TRU for the lines not doing so well. I did indeed love those toys, but we never got many more of them, and they were cleared out too fast. They were planning Rocko and AAAAH Real Monsters, but the...

    When you need to rant...

    They can say the sh word. If anything, it's slightly less edgy because they had to tone down the violence. Personally, I'm glad they were able to find an outlet for this series because it's by far better than the lazy Family Guy writing. They honestly don't have to do much with that series...

    When you need to rant...

    I think I've absolutely had it with so called animation "fans" that do that... you know, everything new is bad because I'm old and comfortable to give anything a chance. For the first time in my life I'm almost glad my dreams of animation never panned out. What's the point of going through the...
