Muppets From Space was in the wrong hands. Just all over in the wrong hands. Sony screwed it up, both directors screwed it up, the script had too many passes on it, and somehow they wanted a space film because Star Wars episode 1 came out. Just all over a wave of ennui, apathy, and ego where ego...

I still feel the special was originally just Lady Gaga, but they added the Muppets in to promote the movie. The album didn't do well, the movie didn't. A for effort, but something tells me this special jinxed BOTH. Plus, they could have done a much better job if they put some thought into...

FTB is a classic film that got trounced in the box office but found a cult following on DVD. EIG was an idea that failed because the idea was fool proof... except that the movie's target demo was too young to want to sit in a theater (or shouldn't). It also made its money on DVD, where it was...

Love that last one.

There was some article that really summed it up, but I didn't agree with everything they said in it. But it was basically the same thing I was saying. Derailing character development, erasing heart warming moments, and making the characters a lot less sympathetic. You have to give them credit...

Network TV would be a terrible fit for them. I could see like 5 episodes airing, and then the rest of them being burned off marathon style in one summer night because they need more room for The Biggest Loser, or The Bachelor, or American Idol or whatever crappy reality competition people only...

But that's not Gonzo. Not to me. Any deeply rooted depression would stem from not being understood as an artist or even being alone. Any other time, Gonzo would try to strap a rocket to himself to deliver the letter, and if the thing blew up, he'd actually be happy that happened and give a...

MMW actually made me like TM less. TM was a good film to relaunch the franchise, sure, but the thing was all over the place. It tried too hard to get too much into a 90 minute film and it turned out like an overstuffed suitcase with sleeves hanging out. The film didn't reach a conclusion...

No... the truth is that SW wasn't contacted about even making a Sesame Street movie and it was, at most, idle gossip. The facts stand as thus. Sesame Street is a series that's massively popular around the world, and has been on 45 years. Follow that Bird and Elmo in Grouchland didn't make so...

First off, they're not going to reveal everything at the end of the first season. That's bush league. The entire point of shows like this is to keep the audience watching to keep the show on the air longer. Secondly, I just can't get into shows like this because you know the big reveal is...

...oh wait... this is the FUNNY Picture thread. not the horrifying picture thread. Lemme try again... That's.... okay that's just worse.

Is there a trope for... I dunno how to explain this... Ever notice that you can tell something will happen to something in the background of a cartoon series when it suddenly becomes a foreground cel? Like a mailbox that was a background fixture in one shot is suddenly a cel, and then it...

I actually haven't managed to find a favorite character. They're just so... well... offbeat isn't even the word. But they're just so... so I can't make up my mind who I like better. If you didn't get the FCBD Kaboom, track it down. The Pizza Steve 2 pager was one of the funniest bits in there.

I did. It has BOTH a short Labyrinth and Farscape comic. I didn't get around to reading them much yet, but flipped through it. All I know is the Labyrinth one is Ludo focused and the Gate Guardians have an appearance.

I saw the last 5 minutes of an episode of Breadwinners and didn't dislike it much. Seems like some weird combo of Spongebob and Regular Show... but Uncle Grandpa is an experience that's part underground cartoon/comix, genre deconstruction, and glorious insanity. Breadwinners doesn't quite...

The one thing I really like about the Mutants in this series is that they're far more grotesque and monster-like than the last time. Anyone else catch the cameo of Ace Duck as one of Baxter's experiments? And the mention of mutant Pigs and Rhinos? Overall, this was a great and important...

No, but someone with strong connects. I can't remember much, but what I do remember is that NASA refused to let them use the Pigs in Space phone call to the Astronauts (of whatever mission that was). Yep. A government agency refused Disney the use of their own characters.

We're talking about Spider-man, right? Stupid and pathetic storylines are the character's forte. Clone saga, One More Day... the third film. Even the Japanese series where he turns into Kamen Rider with a robot... And the less said about that 1960's series the better. And frankly, I've...

So... they cam full circle and made Baxter Stockman a fly in the cartoon again. Kinda wish they'd have Dogpund/Rahzar beat him up so severely that he needed an escalating amount of robotics to keep him alive, like in the last series. But at least he seems vengeful and psycho like Fly Baxter...

So Spidey managed to get almost 400 million worldwide. And I didn't get to see it yet... :grouchy: Have to wait a week. Oh well, at least it's a Sony owned continuity and they won't sneak it into SHIELD this week like the last 2 Marvel movies. On the plus side, those 2 films' storylines...
