    Final Sex Abuse Lawsuit Against Elmo Puppeteer Dismissed

    Considering the high level of disturbed trollbait, I vote deletion.

    Why Does Everybody Hate Scrappy-Doo?

    Movies don't count. A single, confined 80 minute story is different from a season's worth of 20 minute stories. I could see a Scooby-Doo adventure show working, but then again that's what "Get a Clue" was, and... well, "Get a Clue" had nothing to do with Scooby, and any cartoon duo could...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I honestly love how everyone hates Pixar for the last 3 films :rolleyes: (yet never complains about how terrible the third party film makers are), when the truth is that they set the bar too high for themselves after extremely emotional Up and Toy Story 3. It's like if the movie doesn't have...

    So apparently, they changed things in Annie. And I still don't care, cuz it still sucks.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    No doubt that there's going to be a report by the end of the year that movie sales all over are down. There is no way this movie should have underperformed in a Pixar-free Summer. Maybe if they didn't get so insanely defeatist and pulled all advertisement for the movie in the second week, it...

    New Mickey Mouse Shorts Announced

    I didn't see if they had it up on Youtube yet, but accidentally caught the new one on the Disney Channel. "Down the Hatch." Mickey and Goofy get shrunk down and accidentally swallowed by Donald. Funnier than it sounds. And the best part? Spoilers... Ludwig VonDrake was in it. Not only...

    Why Does Everybody Hate Scrappy-Doo?

    I dunno. These Scooby-Doo shows that change the format, while completely necessary to the longevity of the franchise, aren't really smiled upon. I'd say 13 Ghosts was the only tolerable/dare say enjoyable ones of these. The Scooby-Doo formula, rigid as it is, is a strong one. I have yet to...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    They look much nicer than the CGI papercraft looking PPG (to tie that into the thread too). Just a few cosmetic updates in the stylization department, but not by much. Looks Flash like too, which considering the animation from the first series wouldn't surprise me. Hopefully it'll have a...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    So you're saying that it's a shock that a network owned awards show is giving an award to its own show, one they focus on above all else? And do you know the absolute worst thing about Spongebob's success? Nick was all ready to cancel it a year or two in before it became popular. Nick will...

    As I was saying before the board's upgrade kicked me off as soon as I was finished typing... I know, but it would be a shame of movie theaters got that skittish as well. It's kind of annoying, actually. There's a theater that I frequent for pricing reasons, and they have this annoying habit...

    The Clarence thread

    Too bad the previews gave away the inspired ending. Now that was a clever way to send off his obsession. That's what I love about this series. You don't know exactly what the show has in store every week, other than the twisted world of Clarence and his friends. Him baby bird feeding his...

    Jeez. Looks like Dreamworks freaking wussyed out because the movie didn't open to a trilliondybillion on opening weekend, and I can't even find a showing in 3-D on the second weekend it's out. A week where the only competition is a niche R-rated musical and the equally niche Think like a Man...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    I really hope there's some sort of surprise out there for collectors or something. Seems like an awful waste to not get anything except a sound gimmicky book that only 3 year olds would like. As if they care how old the show is. Kinda wish Hasbro would release some older characters in the...

    Spammers at MC...

    Ed's been working very hard with the admittedly small amount and quality of tools he has. He said he can't even ban people at one point. To say the least of multiple accounts. The fact we've been clusterfrogged with Spam the past 2 days means there's something wrong and that once Ed returns...

    New half-hour version of Sesame Street to debut on PBS Kids this fall

    Not going to happen. They insist on using only HD material from the last 5 years. Except when they totally don't. :smirk: And it's completely inconsistent. My question is, what other show's going to get the business to make room. Fingers crossed it's Super Why. We don't need that brand...

    The "You know what?" thread

    What I want to know is how come that cast was so horrible they had to get rid of them, yet the current SNL management thinks Kyle Mooney and Mike O'Brien have any discernible talent at all. I mean, they are the most untalented, unfunny cast members they ever had. Sure, it took me a while to...

    Movies You Thought You'd Hate But Like

    What really makes that movie work is that it had heart in it, and we had full fledged character relationships. Where as Family Guy's decline was basically seeing how far the envelope could be pushed, and dealing with the desensitization of the viewer when they come to expect the same AIDS joke...

    Spammers at MC...

    I'm sorry... but this board needs massive changes made in order to prevent the Spammageddon we're getting. As much as it would scare off potential new members, we need a board lockdown. No new accounts until we can find a better solution. But I'm sure there really isn't a way to do that.

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    Sounds like the major change is upgrades in spy technology. Cellphones and Smartphones really put a damper on the spy tech tropes, especially the goofy parody ones. The hoops they had to go through to get the Shoe Phone into the Get Smart movie. Other than that, I hope the changes are only...

    Movies You Thought You'd Hate But Like

    Considering a year ago I was pulling my hair out from the very thought of Turbo, I'm glad I gave the film a chance. I liked it and all, but the Netflix series does the concept much better, having Turbo fight off against other bugs and small animals instead of just a lame "you can do anything...
