    Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles: RIP TMNT 1985-2014

    Is exactly my problem with it, actually. Not dark, not gritty... just boilerplate action movie. They don't even give the turtles any time to shine in the trailer. Considering Bay's track record with Transformers, something tells me this will all focus on April O'Neil and the Turtles will...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Actually, the show switches back and forth, and the only time they even mentioned it was a What If machine was that first episode. Several other episodes did mention that they had to make sure history had to happen as planned (as anachronistically as possible, though). Though the movie was...

    Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles: RIP TMNT 1985-2014

    It had a fourth film. 2007's TMNT which works as a loose connection to the last film and yet a surprisingly close connection to the 2k3 series. This one is completely disconnected. Now I'll tell you what they should have done. They shoulda pulled a Jimmy Neutron/Barnyard and released a...

    Cartoon all stars to the rescue.

    I'd agree if the anti-drug thing wasn't some soft government conspiracy where they paid TV execs to purposely follow the message, making it inorganic. Though I will say when Stan Lee stood up to the comics code to bring an anti-drug message to Spidey comics, that was pretty awesome. That said...

    Most evil Muppet movie villain?

    Rachel Bitterman is a pretty weak villain, if you ask me. In fact, she wasn't evil, just nasty. Just over the top nasty. True Evil would be someone willing to kill one or more of the characters. And only 2 villains in Muppet history tried to kill a Muppet. Doc Hopper (out of desperation...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    Wanna hear a funny one? Way back when I saw MFS the second time, there was some little kid who was just absolutely bothered by the loudness of the movie and was SCREAMING the entire time before the film. Once it started, he got very quiet very fast and seemed to enjoy it. That's what I've...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    Easter is more or less a month from the film's release. If it has some staying power and manages to stay in theaters past that, that's a good thing. The Muppets barely made any money second week of its release onward, but somehow managed a slight uptick around Christmas... in a month...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    It really sucks that it's barely getting traction, but then again, we have an actual big movie that people actually want to see that actually is good. Captain America is going to have a HUGE opening for April... record setting. I'm sure Disney's going to be very generous and count MMW as...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Probably would have kept the theme song. Shout would have been a good choice. They do indeed have children's DVD releases along side the season sets for serious collectors. They're not perfect (Transformers Headmasters has no eyecatches or next time previews), but I really don't care much...

    charlietheowl's Random Thoughts: Season 1 of TMS

    I actually do like the first season, even though it really didn't come together. It was a vastly better show since the second season, however. And while I do really like season 3, there really aren't too many intriguing guest stars. But on the other hand, that means you have to appreciate the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Makes me wish the Crummy Pictures parody songs were longer.

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    Seems like he's just slightly under the usual capacity, but that's also due to Cookie's expanded role as part of the self-regulation initiative. That educational video supplement basically says they're still trying to get Abby and Elmo to be a thing. I like Abby, I like Elmo... they just don't...

    Cartoon all stars to the rescue.

    The worst thing is, as good as the intentions were, they basically shoveled on a whole pile of drug myths, and founded the special on the same Anviliciousness that causes kids to grow up to be (quoting Abet's line in the G.I. Joe community) "cynical babies." I wish I could find that clip, but...

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

    HIMYM really had a lot of red herrings the last few seasons. I really liked this season where Lilly was constantly seen with a drink, only to mask the fact she was pregnant again by not disclosing that they weren't even alcoholic (though it did make it a bit confusing)... then there was the...

    Most Absurd Things About The Toy Industry

    A few things. Dreamworks is pretty much on and off with their toylines. Sometimes, they only have impossible to find third party things that are TRU exclusives (HATED how hard to find Monsters VS Aliens is). Turbo was pretty much the first time I saw a Dreamworks line outside of TRU, and it...

    The Clarence thread

    I've seen it and I have mixed, but positive thoughts about it. The opening of the episode where Clarence was trying hard to make friends and everyone ignored his invitations was kinda depressing, and realistically so. But once you realize how absolutely insane Clarence is, then the show perks...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    Jerry kinda left the project early on. Even without the bad director ruining everything, you could tell something was wrong immediately. There was such a cloud over this project. Really seems Fozzie was becoming a complete idiot since MTI. At least his excuse there was he was playing a...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    As I've said a billion times, I think what Roger Langridge did with The Muppet Show actually outshines the original concept. But that's without guest stars to fawn over. I'm glad for him that he left the series when he felt he said all he could, but I severely miss those comics. He gave depth...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    Peabody yes, Rio 2... I'll agree... how dare them. I'm sure the first one was probab;y a good film, but every trailer I've seen has been obnoxious Moreso than the last time. Especially that Kristen Chennowith Frog. But at least it looks better than The Nut Job, which looked better than Free...

    Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles: RIP TMNT 1985-2014

    I'm thinking Japan doesn't like it when our cartoons emulate theirs. You'd think Avatar:The Last Airbender would go over like a bang over there, but they really dislike it for that reason. And I guess little kids didn't watch because it wasn't Pokemon. That's why their new Avengers cartoon is...
