    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    And they'd find a lot more to complain about with the original Superman movies. Like I said, they only had those 2 good ones, and those 2 good ones are rife with problems. Gene Hackman does a barely serviceable job as Lex Luthor, but flat out refuses to be bald to play a character widely...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    They had that concept on the show multiple times. I really am disappointed they never did a TV show adaption of Arthur's Thanksgiving. I liked the Christmas special better than the book one, and the new(er) Berenstain Bears and Fat Albert (probably where they both stole it from) basically had...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I hate double posting, but I just have to rant on the reaction to Man of Steel. As I said before... What the frag do people expect out of a Superman movie? He only had 2 good ones prior anyway. Every single complaint I've seen boils down to, "I read all the spoilers a year in advance and wrote...

    When you need to rant...

    Here's something that just got to me today. How come everyone's up in arms about the NSA spying on everyone (which sucks, and that's a rant I don't want to get into), but NO ONE is saying a word about how Google and Yahoo constantly ask you for your phone number in case of "emergencies?" It's...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    There are so many Arthur books that have never been adapted into episodes, why they haven't touched any of them is beyond me. I guess it's far too late in the game for that, though.

    Betty Lou and Prarie Dawn Appreciation Thread

    Yeah, JLG is saying what I've been saying for some time. Betty Lou was a generic girl (often performed by a guy) when she started out, and somehow just became the generic girl that has more merchandise than a legitimate character. Like I said before... Wolverine publicity rules out, and...

    Supposed new Archie cartoon series

    In the very early planning stages, and the article completely forgets about 1999's Archie's Weird Mysteries and the Nicktoons DIC movie "Archie meets the Jugman." Oh... and the 1980's New Archies cartoon series. Not well researched. Anyway, no details are given, and there's talk of a live...

    Girl Meets World Officially Picked Up

    It depends on how much sway the producers have. Remember, Producers are the ones that produce money, and often times they use that as leverage to get what they want out of the actors and writers. If a producer wants a terrible new character added to the cast, they'll make the writers add one...

    2013 Daytime Emmy nominations

    I just have to ask, why bother televising it at all? It's dangerously close to being on a public access channel, so why do the children's programming categories have to share the same ghetto as "Best Catering" and "Best Guy who gave a ride to a member of the production crew when his car...

    2013 Daytime Emmy nominations

    So wait... They put the Daytime Emmys on an obscure network no one even knows they have if they have it, and they still dump the kid's shows on the untelevised technical awards? Yeah.... :sigh:

    Girl Meets World Officially Picked Up

    I could care less, as I never cared much for Boy Meets World.

    2013 Daytime Emmy nominations

    At least someone did. It's a huge shame that the Oscars completely glazed over him, but mentioned producers and behind the scenes guys no one has ever heard of. I mean, he was in at least 5 movies... that should count for something.

    How popular was Fraggle Rock at it's time

    Everything is usually a USA centric view. A movie's considered a flop if it does poorly over here but well overseas. If one of our shows gets popular overseas, we never see or hear much else of it... I heard that Kidd Video did alright here, but they loved it in Israel so much )possibly do to...

    Good Luck Charlie Cancelled

    Animated properties are usually subject to the same production caps. Usually worse, as animation costs far more than live action does. Warner Bros and Disney love production caps. Even if a show is popular, it rarely breaks the 65 episode limit. Scratch that. Now you're lucky to even get a...

    Marvin The Martian And Hong Kong Phooey Movies Leaked

    It's pretty obvious both films are dead in the water.

    Funniest Fraggle Rock Lines.

    Marjorie saying "Oh a third course! How civilized!" always gets me.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Set a record for opening. Hopefully it can keep that momentum up. I'm really hoping World War z doesn't kick this movie's Superbutt. Also hoping WWZ doesn't hurt Monsters Univerity either. Hopefully everyone's had enough zombie apocalypse by now.

    2013 Daytime Emmy nominations

    It speaks volumes on the state of daytime television. It's a dumping ground of infomercials and judge programs. Not to mention cheap The View knockoffs. I feel bad for the children's programming. Merchandising aside, it's got a bad deal. Children's programming is the most viciously...

    2013 Daytime Emmy nominations

    So, which backwater cable station actually decided to air this thing? I mean, there's, what, like 2 soap operas now? That was the reason anyone even watched, to support their soaps.
