    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    UGH! You know how sick and tired I am of this constant GEEWUN/TRUKK NOT MUNKY stuff? Whining online about how the show isn't the show you watched growing up is older than "All your Base are Belong to us." Sesame Street is a living, thriving brand, and it only got that way through adapting...

    Spammers at MC...

    They never need to learn. They just make more accounts, over and over, all on different devices so you can't even ban them for good when you block their ips. If deleting the threads is all we can do, it's still better than letting them stay there.

    Breakability of Figures? Very Yes!

    When you need to rant...

    "Obesity" is a word that ticks me the heck off. They sell you the word obesity as big fat huge guys over 100 pounds overweight, they show the fattest people they can find when using the term, and that puts the idea that hugely hugely fat people are that common when obesity is barely 50 pounds...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    That's an old Stereotype. Mainly because weed (as well as alcohol) impairs your judgement and makes you think stupid things. Not to mention the egregious misconception that Weed is a powerful hallucinogenic. Weed makes you either a giggly idiot or paranoid, cocaine makes you jumpy... LSD is...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I hope it has the same level of heart the first one has. Every preview I've seen has a far happier Gru. That's going to be interesting. Sounds like his old Mad Scientist won't be in the film, though. And while I did complain about the price of the toys (Target has they for not that much...

    When you need to rant...

    Unless you're a politician. Then you can say any narrow minded, idiotic thing and everyone will shrug it off as "heh, that blowhard said something blowhardy again." (cough cough Scalia cough cough). The fact she wanted to throw a pre-Civil War era Plantation Party with black waiters in white...

    Sesame Workshop lays off 10% of employees

    Get out of my head! I was just about to say that. I've always felt the self celebrity self parody songs were a little...ehhh... self serving. Some of them were good, I can't lie. Furry Happy Monsters, and even that Five By thing were pretty good. Sad thing is, Outdoors has more...

    What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes

    I blame those terrible shorts where he provokes a big muscular guy and Shaggy and Scooby spend the cartoon running from them. Those are terrible. However, Scrappy is pretty funny in 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. You can thank future Animaniacs writers for that. I think the second one is far...

    Sesame Workshop lays off 10% of employees

    If anyone was asking, the 45th anniversary season will be a disaster. I was part kidding on that. Anyway, I wonder if SW considered dumping The Electric Company. Seems like every time I wind up watching it, it's always the same 3 episodes. And that cartoon thingy that's an advertisement for...

    2013 Hallmark Muppet Ornament

    It's definitely better, but I kinda wish Hallmark either used a different pose (or overall design) or just went with another iconic Kermit scene instead. Maybe even another character, maybe? On that subject, the Perry the Platypus ornament looks exactly like the one the Disney Store already...

    Sesame Workshop lays off 10% of employees

    Are they wrapped for season 44? Seems like only Season 45 would be horribly affected by this. Oh frog. The anniversary season is going to be a TREMENDOUS disappointment.

    What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes

    No. Not at all. The word "smurf" came into conversations as replacements for random words. In the FAR better Smurfs and the Magic Flute movie (which I can no longer find a clip of...*&^%!!!), Peewit tries to speak Smurf, and asks for a glass of water "I would like a smurf," and the Smurfs...

    Boom and Archaia merger

    hopefully this will get the ball rolling on more Henson based stuff.

    Sesame Workshop lays off 10% of employees

    Yeah. I meant the power going out, the battery burning out from overuse (I'm told a huge problem with Apple products), or just the long time it takes to charge anything. As for the internet, that was a blanket statement. Not just an ipad, but there seems to be a higher reliance on having the...

    Your Thoughts: "The Rainbow Connection" from The Muppets (2011)

    TRUKK NOT MUNKY!!!! Seriously though. People HATE iconic things being changed. The Rainbow Connection was a reference and it was used brilliantly. I don't hear anyone complaining about one of the characters mumbling Together Again. I personally love those purists that complain about how...

    Sesame Workshop lays off 10% of employees

    I love the all the eggs in one basket bit that forces everything on the internet. Here's the thing about the internet... the internet goes down. When the internet goes down, then what? iPads need to be charged. What are you going to do when that has to charge? What are you going to do with...

    Sesame Workshop lays off 10% of employees

    You can tell that AFFS was expensive because they reran the crap out of it. You know SW. If they can save money by reusing something, you darn well be ready to see character variants, cartoon segments, and whatever's not nailed down as many times as they can use it. I mean, look at homunculus...

    Your Thoughts: Baby Bear

    Baby Bear became a recurring character most likely due to David Rudman wanting a regular character to perform. Once they dropped the character's fairy tale roots and being the patsy against Goldilocks, the character was able to hold his own. Making him Telly's new BFF was a stroke of genius...
