    The "You know what?" thread

    Anyone else notice that everyone's referencing The Warriors a lot lately? To wit: Regular Show Black Dynamite (whole plot reference) American Dad Amazing World of Gumball... There's another I'm thinking of, but I can't rightly remember... and with the exception of Regular Show, they've all...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    I agree. There are a lot of decent sports fans on any level of fandom that aren't the vocal minority. There are ones that dress up for fun reasons, and manage to stay respectful enough. Though I still don't understand the whole sports fans that dress up are more socially acceptable than comic...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    Keep in mind, the team owners could easily turn the team names into the Nabisco Oreos or TDBank No-Hassle Credit Loans to squeeze in more money and there would be less complaint. Not to mention the oft told story of threatening to have the teams moved to another city unless a huge, baffling...

    That's part of it indeed. But the whole "sports is life" culture sportsfans have... when you get to the part where you refuse to change a team name that's no longer seen as tolerable and it's met with some world shaking panic that it would somehow dilute the integrity of the sport, you know...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    And yet, no one condemns sports fans for the exact same thing, only worse since they actually can get violent towards the other manchildish fans of other teams. I don't get the whole deal about how normal adult growing up is letting all the things you like die, taking your unfulfilled dreams to...

    That's entirely my interpretation of the film. That's also why I don't think a sequel will work. And it's also a scathing critique of fan fiction before it became a big thing.

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    I've often said detractors are just as bad as rabid fans, if not worse. There's a happy medium and most fans of anything stay in there. The respectful ones on either side don't make the most noise, and noise equals attention no matter who you are. Sure, I agree that some fandoms need to chill...

    The Furchester Hotel will be on Youtube November 14, 2014

    MIKEMIKEMIKEMIKEMIKE! Guess what day it is... Nov 14... the first episodes are out. See? Isn't this so much nicer than Too Many Cooks?

    The Clarence thread

    I like how the title itself was a condemnation of having to reair the pilot with new footage. "Cartoon Network Pilot Expansion." Very tongue in cheek. Last week's was great too, and it managed to even get in a kid friendly "are you as turned on as I am?" argument/kissing. This show is really...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    Exactly. In fact, funniest thing I can say about watching Hetalia? It helped me to get a joke in the third Madagascar film that I was the only one in the theater who laughed. It went over the heads of the adults. The bit about how French workers go on strike a lot. They made an allusion to...

    The Clarence thread

    They pulled a Regular Show and expanded the pilot into a full episode. And something tells me it was at the behest of CN, and the writers passive aggressively dealt with that. I especially like that the newly made footage was animated to be poorly spliced in. And no attempt whatsoever to...

    It really sucks the fangirls ruined Hetalia. I'm one of those who loves that series for the reason it was created. As a subversive parody of countries and their relationships and how their historical, cultural stuff winds up screwing everything up and creating idiotic national incidents. The...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    While it is indeed disgusting to eat out of the trash when you actually can afford food and everything, especially since there are those who have no choice but to eat from the garbage, TLC's programming is absolutely disgraceful. Yeah, you hear "Fox News is evil" all the time, but TLC...

    DreamWorks Animation/Hasbro merger in negotiations

    Turbo, Veggitales, and King Julien shows. All look good, Turbo being surprisingly great as a cartoon when it was decent at best as a movie. They found a better angle with the series, keeping the races on the small animal and insect level. I hope this means more DW properties past and present...

    DreamWorks Animation/Hasbro merger in negotiations

    That's my concern too. Is Hasbro acquiring Dreamworks or is Dreamworks acquiring Hasbro? The partnership/distribution with Fox kinda wasn't that great. The botched marketing of HTTYD2 was all on them... like "Hey! Let's reveal the big surprise that Hiccup's mother is alive and trains dragons...

    Playmobil copies Lego again... this time theatrically

    I agree. The Lego Movie was special. The film had every right to wind up as a chintzy toy commercial for itself, and a shameless self promotion you have to pay to sit in front of. But by all means, while the movie is about the brand, the brand is featured completely through the film, but the...

    Indiewire: Does Muppets Most Wanted Have Oscar "Best Song" Potential?

    It has some songs in it. They just don't really advertise music in movies anymore. Maybe with the exception of Frozen after it became a hit. But Paul Williams did write at least the music of the film's powerful song about Bullfighting. It's a major spoiler, but other than that, it just flew...

    TMS Not For Kids Episodes

    Nah... the worst thing would be the opening number from the Raquel Welsh episode. No explanation needed.

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    It would be great if there was a better place for Brooklyn 99. I love that show, but I'm constantly missing it when I wind up missing the rest of the Sunday Night Line up, and (not divulging where I watch things) I'd have to wait 8 days to see it. But I just would see it get the same Friday...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Yeah. They don't have enough local arcades anymore. Unless you can find a Dave and Busters, anyone under the age of 17 is pretty lucky to actually have access to one. But I doubt the games are half as good as the 2 times in the 90's I actually got to go to one. No X-Men arcade game, I'd...
