    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I really hope this thing is successful enough for a sequel or cartoon series or something. It really should be making Marvel money since it is technically a Marvel film. And it's managed to hang on pretty long. I don't want Disney thinking this needs to make Frozen money. It's doing great...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I hate having to triple post, but I think this conversation really needs a pick up. The Dumb and Dumber sequel fell off the map fast. Amazing. Big Hero and Interstellar are still in the top five over a month after they premiered and I hope Hero manages to keep making money during the Holiday...

    Hanna-Barbera

    He's too busy and there was no way that would have gotten of the ground. And it would have been far from a travesty. HB did much worse to the Flintstones since their first series. Pebbles and Bamm Bamm being bubblegum musicians, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm being preschool edu-tainers... heck, it's...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    In these old ones, Bert was just a straight-man to Ernie's jokey personality. I really think things started turning around for the character when Bert started fainting in extortion, but he really went full swing Bert by the time "National W Lovers" came about. Like I've been saying, these...

    Hanna-Barbera

    What can I say? Syndication kills. Generic openings, scenes cut out... When I watched Flintstones anywhere else (I guess the DVD's had them uncut, and I wish I actually invested in them when they went deeply discounted), I got the standard "Meet The Flintstones" opening with Fred picking up...

    Hanna-Barbera

    And contrary to popular belief, the only reason they were no longer the sponsors was because they pulled funding from the show because that's when Wilma was pregnant. But Welches stepped in and Pebbles loved her some grape juice. Anyway, I give huge props to Boomerang by using the original...

    Hanna-Barbera

    Weird. I wonder if Frank's still doing any bit parts or animal noises. Sometimes he's just too expensive. Unless Warners decided to keep the On the Rocks cast as the official cast. I dunno. Personally, I'm glad that a Flintstones anything is happening. It's thankfully still on Boomerang...

    The Steven Universe thread

    Is it just me, or were there drama bombs the whole night? Spoilers: Uncle Grandpa is Santa Claus's brother. P Bubs narrowly averted war with the Fire Kingdom Jeff's parents are revealed to be a lesbian couple (while not important to the story, it's a leaps and bounds shot for a cartoon...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Sick fans like to ruin things for everyone. I can come up with a crapload of dark conspiracy theories myself. But they're dark, not shudder disturbed.

    The Sonic Boom Thread

    Uh... I'd almost admit that CN actually knew this was a prime slot for Saturday mornings at any rate... but then again, their love of TTG to the point of putting it on Boomerang (yeah... they do) because they don't think they air it enough makes me think the opposite. But great to see the key...

    Hanna-Barbera

    They're finally going to release the big WWE X Flintstones crossover movie. And I almost swore they dumped the concept to focus on multiple Scooby-Doo X WWE projects, since Scooby-Doo kids actually know outside of cereal and vitamins. I'm pretty happy to see a new Flintstones project since the...

    Commercial rant time...

    They're trying too hard to pander to 30 year olds. It has the extra added bonus of making anyone who actually realizes that stuff is retro absolutely miserable. Personally, I can NOT abide by the horrible use of Scrooge in the Xfinity commercials. Bad enough that A Christmas Carol's message...

    The Clarence thread

    Dude... Jeff's parents are a lesbian couple! I bet One Trillion Bums is going to whine about it, but good for Clarence for being so progressive. And I thought the slight hint of a gay couple in "Neighborhood Grill" was amazing.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    What? You don't like the Algia Critic videos? They're essentially the best thing on Youtube at the moment. So much better than Gry Ide Ame Erd videos. It seems I was having that weird thing where you can't remove the history videos, something that's essential if you don't want a recommended...

    The Clarence thread

    Adventure Time I'm not worried about. The other two...ehhhh.... Though it can be said that when they do this with adult programming, they're trying to get rid of them. When they do it with Kid's programming, it's usually something more positive. I still don't see why Cn can't air all the...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    There are. But that doesn't excuse the fact that, even if there was benefit of the doubt in most cases, there wasn't here. There's clearly racism and corruption in these districts and something needs to be done. It makes all police officers look bad, and if good cops want the world to know...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    My thoughts exactly. And yet the cops seem more eager to stop the actual protesters than the looters that are taking advantage of the chaos. Just sayin'. Can't wait to see the fall out from the guy who was choked to death without even lifting a hand and we actually have evidence of it this...

    Commercial rant time...

    No no no. There's a Kay Jewelers commercial where a documentary film maker narrates how penguins give pebbles to female penguins they want to mate with (like that horrible 1990's animated movie), but the "smart" penguin gives her a diamond. It's pretty classless, and penguin documentaries are...

    The Star Wars episode

    Not by a long shot. The Muppets always made Disney jokes, like the Ronald Duck and Mickey Moose bit, the Small World musical number, and the little girl singing "Never Smile at a Crocodile." Jim really liked Disney's stuff. It's no more an eerie prediction as Spider-Man and Stan Lee being on...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    There's a lot I hope they plan on expanding for the second movie. There was too much April and Eric in the film, and not enough everyone else. Shame that Baxter had to be cut, hope they give him a second chance for the next film. Though I will applaud the short run time. It's not really a...
