    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    Obvious joke pertaining to what Dominic was doing in the film, I guess? I've seen stuff like that for worse movies, so I'm not going to complain about that. Obviously, it was written by a film critic that probably thinks like a good 2/3's of animated movies are good because they're kid's...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Okay,... for a minute, let's forget that Peabody and Sherman had a big movie, and there's 2 4 issue limited comic series. Let's talk about the show itself. I have to admit, even I am greatly guilty of this, but I just can't shake the feeling that Aesop and Son is a very underrated segment...

    Muppets Most Wanted Press Reviews

    You can tell how hard they're pressing the "oppressed right" manipulation and "They're coming to get you, Barbara" paranoia when they stress how "bad" it makes them look vs. turning the film into their own personal talking point. And remember, there were people on the far right who praised The...

    Muppets Most Wanted Press Reviews

    And they TOTALLY failed to find any Libertarian/Ayn Randish tones in the fact that the villain is a tyrannical president that wants to spread conformity and suppress creativity. Not so much stupid as oblivious.

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Waste of time's not the word. Waste of time I can handle. Most of the episodes this season were wastes of time of a Dragon Ball Z filler episode level (almost makes me want How I Met Your Mother Kai). They built something up to purposely tear it down. That's more trolling than wasting time...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    Chewie's all but confirmed! That's pretty good news right there.

    If You Could Bring Back One Lost Character...

    I'm going to pull a Sesame Street on this one. Sherlock Hemlock. With the Guy Ritchie movies, the BBC show, and CBS's Sherlock series, the character of Sherlock Holmes has never been more relevant. And with Jerry's characters getting recast, the time is right to bring this character back...

    Cartoon all stars to the rescue.

    Dinosaurs tackled things with ruthlessness and got away with it because it both looked kid friendly and not taken too seriously AND it flew that under the radar that no one actually had the chance to find anything controversial in it. The show openly mocked Scientology! And it was so under...

    Cartoon all stars to the rescue.

    I can agree to that. But it was handled in such a way that it was a bizarre rant, rather than a serious discussion of the issue. And for kids! And for the record, there are people who can take the message without becoming cynical and snarky about it. But keep the message direct, friendly...

    Most evil Muppet movie villain?

    Technically, his character was an antagonist, who was more of a Knights Templar. A bad one at that.

    Old Sumsum finally posts another one... The full episode where Moishe gets drunk.

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    The wedding's only significance was that's how the mother was met. If there was at least more struggling and denial about their marriage and it ended slowly with love fading, it still wouldn't have been a major screw you to the audience.

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    What really made me annoyed by it was that they didn't even put up a fight for the marriage and just junked it 3 years in on one argument. They didn't try to work it out, making it completely disposable. It's bad enough the divorce erased what made the last 2 seasons special, but for it to...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    I also never heard of that movie until the weekend it opened. It was barely marketed. His political life and scandal may have contributed to the film's disappearance, but just general apathy about the film seems to be the more reasonable explanation.

    Most evil Muppet movie villain?

    Well... that was a slightly redeeming moment, but it's more of a moment for Max. Doc already crossed the Moral Event Horizon by hiring someone to kill Kermit. But it does add a little nuance of honor among villains, accentuating that Southern Gentlemanly bit they were going for.

    Why Does Everybody Hate Scrappy-Doo?

    On the one hand, sure... the collective response is that Flim Flam is more annoying and it makes Scrappy look better, but I chalk it all up to the sharp pre-Animaniacs writing of Rugger and co for making Scrappy a genuinely funny, likable character in 13 Ghosts. And for thankfully cooling off...

    Animated Spin-offs

    Which makes it all the more disappointing that the Happy Days cartoon was almost a Doctor Who cartoon. We would've seen a Dr. Who meets Scooby-Doo series!

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    It's not a horrible film, by any means. BTTF suffers from being a 2 part trilogy. As we all know, the sequel hook at the end of the first movie was a joke. Then they made it. There's like a bookend at the end of the third film, but nothing really ties the third one into the first, only the...
