There was a brilliant Batman TAS episode about some aging actress/model that went nuts and kept violently disrupting fashion shows and network premieres. They had this one scene where they were showing the fall line up, and in one of the shows a bunch of vapid bimbo teenage girls were...

Off topic, regarding Bayformers... the CGI was the least of the film franchise's problems. In fact, I'd wager to say the CGI was probably the best thing in the films. Not to mention it would be impossible to recreate giant robots in anything but CGI... and they tried. Shudder.... Back ON...

Star Wars is not only an example... when Lucas stopped getting influence from Westerns and Samurai films, the series went to pot (though I did really dig episode 2 and especially 3). Heck, even beyond that. Star Wars was almost a Flash Gordon movie, and some of the artifacts of Flash Gordon...

Superman is a hard character to get down. It's not like making a Superman movie is so easy that there haven't been the massive misfires and false starts trying to re-establish the franchise. scroll down to see the massive horrible films that we almost got... and frankly we would have had a...

Like I said. We have to work between remakes and ripoffs, both accidental and intentional. When I hear "Hollywood is out of ideas" it becomes noise to me. That said, there are genuinely good ideas that don't get anywhere due to the fact it's just a safer bet (at least according to studio...

Jeez... Read the comments on this one... :rolleyes: Wow. Even after the Ben Affleck thing, this film is already the worst thing ever, apparently. One "genius" claims something about not wanting to see the movie after hearing one sentence. Seriously. I changed my mind. I don't think we...

Cleveland had no personality. He was the token black guy and they treated him like it. His schtick was that he talked slow. It took them until the episode where Loretta was cheating with Quagmire to even get the character to emote. Personally, I just want Cleveland and his family to stay in...

Here's something about copyright law. Popeye, as a character, is public domain all over the world except here. That said, I just wonder how much Saban bought back of its catalog that Disney was just sitting on. I know they have the live action stuff, but it would be great if they went back...

I agree on nothing. Disney has enough brands as it is, and they focus excessively on certain brands they already own (cough talking vehicles and preschool programs cough cough). There's enough stuff they already own that should be brands but aren't, and there's a LOT of stuff they're just...

I agree with everything but the "Original Ideas." Seems that most who say there isn't any original ideas anymore confuse original with quality. Is there a lack of quality ideas? perhaps... but there is no such thing as an entirely original idea. Something is going to follow some thread...

It's a Catch 22 situation. They're not going to put on quality children's programming no matter what. TV EI is meaningless because of how poorly defined it is, but in no way does it infer quality ever. When TV EI started out, for better or worse, networks were hungry to make new programming...

The episode where Twilight goes absolutely insane trying to come up with a moral essentially lampshades that. I'd surmise that was the writers drawing from experience working on the show. TV EI was so ill defined. The first year they implemented it, stations tried to make it apply to...

Rather have no morals than fake, plastic ones they say gritting through their teeth. Morals work when they're organic. When they put them in kid's shows you either get something amazing like Fat Albert, Arthur, Doug... stuff like that. Or you wind up with Bratz (worst example I could think...

It's a shame that the parodies and celebrity bits are mostly focused on getting adults to watch the show with their kids. Original character bits are the one thing this format lacks. We get one every so often, but it rarely fits in with the recurring segments and celebrity parody bits. I'd...

... and that, my friends, is why they won 2 Emmys.

I actually developed a pet peeve about the term remake when it applies to old stories/movies based on books. Those stories were meant to be retold over and over for generations, and often change the perspective of the story's telling. You know, because people read books and interpret them...
