    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    I'm unashamed to say I liked both Live Action Flintstones movies, even the second one that nobody likes. They're both visually awesome. I've seen lots of cartoons as live action films that just didn't care, and went for the lowest budget possible. But to create the entire world of Bedrock in...

    Most Annoying TV Series Ever?

    Okay. Get ready for this one. I think I caught one of the prime examples of absolute garbage- and I want to use a certain word that rhymes with fit, as in the fit of rage I experienced catching some of it- but can't use that term here. Anyway it was the most prime example of pure...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Thank FROG! I was hoping I wasn't the only one. My hate for Annie is bottomless. Barney the Dinosaur's more cynical... and his music's less annoying. Yeah, I went there. Now I can't say I'm a huge musical buff, but I know what works and what doesn't. I'm actually looking forward to the...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I actually can't think of anything more fitting (except if humanity's collective . Annie is the most overrated musical there is (well... that and Rent), and I always found the movie appallingly saccharine. And that's removing my thoughts about what a titanic d-bag the original artist of the...

    Eh... At least Splinter's going to look good in the upcoming movie

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    ONLY because the theatrical cut of the movie removed the real reason Tex Richman wanted to destroy the studio. Thus making the villain look like something out of Captain Planet, and making it almost petty for the Muppets to finally care about something they let fall into disrepair in the first...

    When you need to rant...

    You know what? I actually do take that back. Those things were actually quite adorable when they weren't just a little off. I really liked the odd Celtic dance one (you know, for the kids). The one I really hated were those odd CGI ones that wanted to look like kid's books they had just...

    When you need to rant...

    And they are often coerced into terrible situations, and when they aren't, the footage is edited to make them look like jerks. I'd say the worse example of losing faith in humanity are those who watch these shows. Especially those who watch them ironically. There's some article on Cracked...

    Muppet FREAKING Go-Gurt!

    UGH! I never saw the Beaker and Fozzie boxes. They had much better flavors than Watermelon.... which actually wasn't too bad, but Strawberry Mango seems a lot tastier. I should have taken photos of the tubes before I cut them up. They had some weird completely unrelated to Muppets tongue...

    When you need to rant...

    Anyone else fed the heck up with them calling reality shows "social experiments?" First off, that's a real high opinion of themselves to make the trashiest television there is sound smart. And secondly, what's to experiment? People act like complete A-holes when they're on television. Always...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    Actually, I thought it was some sort of weird Easter Egg at first, referencing something from an earlier Chipmunks bit... but I was annoyed as heck to find out it was a useless product placement. I'd almost call it a BLAM, but I'd have to rewatch it for sure to verify that.

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    The second one would have been better if Jason Lee just gritted his teeth and did the movie as Dave instead of forcing the filmmakers to get that talentless hack who played "estranged cousin that totally exists," who's subplot and romantic plot tumor (in a freaking movie with an organic romantic...

    Looking for Coming of Age Books/Movies for a Gift

    The sequel has some surprisingly good moments too. Too bad that they made the film to promote the X-games, or we'd have some better moments between Goofy and Max.

    When Did Remakes Go Bad?

    It depends. Seems like they're trying to make movies now for the sequels and trying to make a full series of movies. And there's really something to that. For the longest time, the first movie is made, then years later they decide on a second one that seems sort of connected. And if there's...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Moving on... I haven't seen so many promotions for the Transformer movie lately. Usually there's a crapton of commercials for these things, and a huge amount of product tie ins. I just find it ...odd. Seems that none of these big companies are going after this one. IDW isn't even going to...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    I honestly liked the first Chipmunk film, and it's allegory of new music talent getting abused by the record companies (if this was intentional or not). I'm mixed about the second. There's a lot to like in the second, and then there's a lot I felt was just the same lame tropes they shove into...

    When Did Remakes Go Bad?

    I grow tired of the fallacy of "Hollywood can't come up with new ideas." That's a glib interpretation, actually. It removed the even worse and more cynical truth behind sequels and remakes. It's not that Hollywood isn't out of ideas (at least in the sense of storytelling tropes that have...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Really sucks for Seth MacFarline. Must be one of those years where everyone hates him again for some reason. Then again, there hasn't been a successful western since... well... Rango, maybe True Grit. Of course, Maleficent saw non-stop media blitz, and his film got spotty at best TV spots...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    They honestly don't care much for the collector's market. When they actually do, you have to buy create space MOD's of stuff. And again, I mean in general. FTB totally deserves a Blu-Ray with special features that will tick off regular DVD owners.
