    Should we get more hand drawn movies in our time?.

    As much as I'd love to see Bluth make a comeback, I must admit, I've always been curious to see what a CGI film from him would be like . . . I understand he was originally approached with the first ICE AGE movie, but turned it down. THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX seemed like the kind of movie he would...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    If D'ump is naming Palin as his running mate, he is twice the idiot that I thought he was.

    Should we get more hand drawn movies in our time?.

    Sure, I think we should, but as we've discussed, we're not going to, because there's no longer a market for it: THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG and WINNIE THE POOH were attempts revive traditionally animated movies, but both flopped, so that pretty much shot down our last hopes for traditional...

    Separating the art from the artist: Is it always possible?

    Same thing happened to Tiger Woods too: more and more women he was having affairs with came out of the woodwork, but I think in a case like that, some of it was extortion, because a lot of those women tried to make themselves out to be the victims in the situation: "Oh, I totally knew he was...

    Separating the art from the artist: Is it always possible?

    Slightly off topic, but have you seen any of the B-movies his father did in the 70s? I would say that was probably a contributing factor to some of his problems . . . they're like if the movies were done by Mel Brooks who had no actual budget and was stoned out of his mind and decided he wasn't...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4601 - Bedtime Story

    SEINFELD's one of the worst offenders (and oddly enough, one of the first fullscreen shows that got permanently cropped for widescreen reruns): the biggest offense is Jerry and George pitching their pilot to Japanese TV, as the bag of oranges they brought for the executives is completely cropped...

    This whole fullscreen/widescreen/letterbox/pillarbox debacle just really bites.

    Separating the art from the artist: Is it always possible?

    Well, people still love Kramer despite Michael Richards's infamous meltdown at that comedy club where he hurled racial epithets at hecklers. People still like Bill Clinton despite all the extra marital affairs he's had over the years. People still root for Trump everytime he opens his big mouth...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Was JULIE ON SESAME STREET not originally produced with audience reaction? Because this is clearly an American laugh track on these clips.

    Why do we have to have a black parody version of 50 SHADES OF TWILIGHT LEMON FICS?

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    I didn't know videotape was affected by NTSC/PAL, considering it always runs at 30 fps, whereas film runs 24 fps in NTSC and 25 in PAL.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    So YT has redesigned the video player again: it's a snazzier looking design and it's less invasive . . . but the fact that it still overlaps the video itself when in use and disappears when not in use still sucks.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4601 - Bedtime Story

    I didn't pay attention to that so much as I did the obvious new versions of the intro, crayon-scribble transitions, and the montage of sleeping kids. In addition to shortening the episode by cutting and pasting, didn't it also seem like Mr. Noodle's bit was sped-up? I know it was trimmed as...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4601 - Bedtime Story

    I noticed that Abby's now refered to as "Elmo's best friend." Admittedly, this is a tad irksome (I know Drtooth is bothered by it) when you think about it, but the thing of it is, they were determined to ensure Abby could achieve the same level of star power Elmo had so that she'd be popular...

    Video: Preview Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4603

    Admittedly, Matt's Mr. Johnson sounds a little too much like his Uncle Deadly; David actually did a pretty good Johnson in EIG.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4602 - Mucko Polo, Grouch Explorer

    It wasn't so much his voice, it was his inflections, he almost sounded like he was self-inducing some kind of an odd accent, like he was hamming it up for the scene or something.
