    TV shows only you seem to like.

    I've finally seen Dan Vs. And frankly, the first thing that popped into my mind was wrong channel. It's overshadowed by Ponies, Animaniacs, Transformers, G.I. Joe (though hanky panky about the movie kinda hurt that one), Justice League (or whatever they have... Batman)... it really seems like...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    The New York cover was completely unofficial. Parody law is the only thing that pretty much protects them from SW suing their butts over it. SW had nothing to do with the cover, and they can't do anything about it. If someone's that stupid enough to think that parody fan art on the cover of a...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    Danny DeVito is too on the nose. While he is certainly short enough, Jason Alexander seems to have gotten the mannerisms and speech patters just about right. If anyone else did the movie, they'd cast Boris as a tall guy with a Swedish accent. That's how backward casting for this stuff usually...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    The guy who wrote the film is a freaking crybaby. Take a gander to this quote... The guy clearly doesn't get the different between being a bully and just having a huge hatred of something completely idiotic. The Film is Bad. Pure and simple. There is a lot of violence in kid's media...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    There's this film that I completely forget the name of that they aired twice on ThisTV. It's about this trashy roller derby woman who's trying to marry this vegetative and extremely old rich guy before his two "younger" sons (they're freaking old and doddering, but not as old) try and catch...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    There's no question about it. They're the ugliest things I've ever seen that don't come from a creepy, low budget, religious puppet show. Say what you will about Barney, he is kinda cute. I hate to admit that, but he is (paraphrasing a Garfield episode) nonthreatening looking. There's too...

    Off topic, but you know what would have been awesome? A Robotman and Monty cartoon based on the Jim Meddick strips. Man, I really used to love those.

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    That's why there was a huge slide in the quality of preschool programming in such a short time. Old School Sesame fans don't seem to appreciate that fact, or even notice. There are times when you absolutely need to get a toddler out of the way, important phone calls, laundry... but preschool...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    As imbecilic or at least completely delusional as it was to release the thing theatrically, this really could have worked as a series of videos. I think that's the problem. The launch was overreaching, and it really needed to be a DTV series like all the cacophonous kiddy shows usually stem...

    You know what would make the films better? Grimlock.

    TV shows only you seem to like.

    That's a show I desperately wanted to like, I'll put it that way. I mean, it was created by one of my favorite cartoon TV writers, Doug Langdale (Earthworm Jim/ Darkwing Duck... I mean, those are 2 of my favorite shows right there). I'd say my problem was the kids were too much goody two...

    When you need to rant...

    On that subject, here's a rant... Scalia is a pile of sentient poop. I really wish Dan Savage or someone would try to get a campaign to turn his name into a dirty word, like they did with Sanctorum. But not a sex act. Persoanlly, I'd go with "the burning hot liquid discharge you get from the...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    A lot of people really love Ratatouille. Don't see why that need be included. it just wasn't as toyetic or kid friendly as Cars was. It's pretty much my fourth favorite Pixar film overall (behind Monsters Inc, Up and Incredibles, of course). I guess you could put me in the camp that liked...

    TV shows only you seem to like.

    Notice I didn't say hate. That's too strong a word, and someone's going to get overly passionate about something (probably me). I really liked Ned's Newt. Doesn't seem to have much of a fanbase. But then again, I'm sure post-Eek The Cat Fox Kids shows that aren't Power Rangers or Digimon...

    What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes

    Tell you the truth, this was a flame war bait thread anyway. No hard feelings? I also noticed I can't really contribute, as most films I do hate, others really hate as well. Plus I talked everyone's ears off about how much I think Pocahontas sucks, so that leaves me one conversation out...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    I like those too. I see these clumsy movies based on cartoons that are often in name only and cobbled together out of old scripts for other films with a similar premise (oddly enough, George of the Jungle was, and it was one of the closest translations I've seen). But Rocky and Bullwinkle and...

    What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes

    Your words. Better than Muppet Wizard of Oz is a good defense, because most likely, we would have ended up with a movie exactly like that. D list at the moment celebrities being forced in, nipple jokes...just lazy, cynical, below Family Guy type humor. And even then, that's if Disney even...

    What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes

    Please understand this is kinda pent up, but... Bombing the city is nothing more than serial escalation. Anything less than total destruction after the second movie would be completely anti-climactic. I mean, what else could you do. Scarecrow already poisoned the town, the Joker was a...

    Let's see... Uh... the Muppets were no more "just there" than MCC. I mean, really, you could have done the whole thing without the Muppets and just the creature shop and it would have worked just as well... Kermit was fatally lobotomized in MFS (I know it was Gonzo's movie, but you'd think...
