    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Anyone ever watch the episode "Cowabunga Shredhead" of the original TMNT cartoon? My question is, what's the deal with the ending where Michelangelo is eating pizza and talking, and all the sudden you see this weird still frame of the other 3 Turtles and April looking at him, then it zooms...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    I wouldn't so much say that he lost his touch, in as far as certain passes of the original script of the original movie kinda hinted that he had everything wrong with the prequels in mind all along. The true problem is, he lost his ability to be collaborative. Why was Empire Strikes back the...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    I remember Red. It was that one with the special agents coming out of retirement. I actually almost forgot about the sequel, so I guess that balanced out. Anyway, yeah... I remember not finding Fantastic Mr. Fox anywhere and then only a month later, stumbling on an indie theater showing of...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I'd love to say the controversy was the reason the movie flopped, but I'd rather tend to believe it was because the film looked unremarkable and those who actually liked the book actually disliked the film greatly. Apparently, the deal made with Card happened years before, so he already got his...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    The whole show was because of the Red Scare. I'm not a huge fan of 1950's sitcoms ('cept for Lucy and the Honeymooners), as they're basically all about conformity and wholesomeness. I HATE the sitcom version of Dennis the Menace, but then again, I was spoiled by the DIC cartoon series. I like...

    Video: Watch Gordon Ramsay Compete with The Swedish Chef

    My issue wasn't so much the nipples. It was an aside goof Dave and Bill were having fun with. My issue is, this was left in the film and cut in such a way the joke came off disturbing, rather than funny. And not because of the Nipples, but Pepe's extremely disturbed reaction. Somehow, if he...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    I'm wondering what sequel you're talking about, actually... But yeah. Back when they had video stores, you'd always see these really bad films that had sequels of crappy movies you never knew existed in the first place. Low budget, bad horror films that aren't even so bad it's good, mostly...

    Sanjay an Craig: New Nick series

    I finally watched a couple of these and I quite like them. I think I need to watch more to really get into it, but I love how twisted they can make stale toilet humor. It has a lot of very sly humor to it, especially with the weirdo neighbor and his psychological problems. His wailing of...

    I Predicted the Future!

    Actually... so far yes, but it seems like that could wear very very thin. I like how this one is exclusively for theaters, but something tells me I'm going to see it too often if I go to the movies. But I'll tell you what. These commercials are far better than those horrible ones with the...

    Video: Watch Gordon Ramsay Compete with The Swedish Chef

    This is even funnier, especially with an alternate ending and more Staler and Waldorf bits. I can't wait for the next one of these.

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I love the music video essentially being 40's and 50's public domain bits. But what really gets me is using the footage of Ronald Reagan saying "The big moment is almost with us." It's just biting in the context they used it. But I have to admit, I like Christmas at Ground Zero a little more...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    The difference is this. In real life, crooks seldom care. The Grinch stole the Whos' material possessions because he was fed up with how annoying they were when they were happy, but brought it back because those things didn't matter. Now, those who steal Christmas decorations are trolls trying...

    Have You Seen the Cast in Other Projects?

    Yeah, there's quite a bit that she's been in, and she was an established comedian well before Sesame Street started, let alone by the time the show cast her. But the obvious thing to list is Laugh In.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    That's where I discovered it... but it has to be seen without commentary to be believed. Especially how well prepared Michelangelo is. "Hey, Michelangelo. You forgot to buy a ticket!" "Don't need one, Dude! I already got a monthly pass." (the rest of the Turtles stare in adoration) And it's...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Know what I'm sick of? Every year, some jerkwad steals something, be it decorations or donated toys or something... and don't get me wrong. That is low... but every stinking year, the local news refers to it as "a Grinch stole [such and such]." If there's one time to not be festive and make...

    Coming Soon: Sesame Street Season 45

    The only real difference between Ryan's Elmo and Kevin's is that Ryan's is a little nasal/glottal. But he's got the character down pat, attitude and everything, and there have been replacement performers that sounded much different but had the character down. Then there are the ones that have...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Two Things. Anyone remember when the Turtles randomly lived in Los Angeles and took the train frequently? Neither do I. And they used the Walk-a-bouts they used at old TRU Grand Openings to boot. Also, the show just introduced Slash in the most epic fashion possible. A dark psychopath...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Yeah. #3 is Frosty Returns, the one with John Goodman. They would always air that on CBS together with the original Frosty on first. Now, I dig the original Frosty, though I hate how they overdubbed June Foray's voice with some wooden, talentless little girl voice actress. But Frosty...

    Video: Watch Gordon Ramsay Compete with The Swedish Chef

    My sentiments exactly. I've been waiting for new Muppet viral videos, and while it's a shame they aren't on their YT page, it's great to see these videos pop up somewhere. Though, frankly, not some website that takes forever to load due to the animated gifs all over the page. Now, props on...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    The Frosty Returns special is a horrible example, or rather a good example of them abusing that trope. It's not even about "The Magic of Christmas," so much as you're a horrible, godless heathen if you don't love snowstorms and winter. The story is basically someone invents an arisol spray can...
