    Muppets 2014 Calendar!

    I actually would complain about reusing old pictures, but this is an example of them doing it right. It's actually an improvement over the 2007 Calendar. We get to see those wonderful posters the way we should have seen them. Bigger, bolder, and without pollution of the character posers...

    Confound you, Comedy Central!

    Now that I think about it, while I'm annoyed the show's ending, at least it got a second chance in the first place. And unlike Family Guy, it didn't get a different audience that hijacked the series. We got character development here, when the main cast of Family Guy got devolved into mean...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Absolutely. It finds a better balance between comedy and action, and it gets surprisingly dark. It has the darkest origin of Leatherhead in any TMNT project. Teenage April wasn't nearly as cloying and ridiculous as anyone thought. And more over, the characters actually act like Teenagers...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Like I always say, the guy's a troll. He's purposely casting actors that the fan base will hate.

    What year did it all change for the worst?

    The problem is pop psychology constantly changing what the needs of preschoolers are. But aside from that, SW was covering it's butt. I mean, at worst, some myopic parent, grandparent, or guardian would toss it in the cart and give it to a small child (one too young to watch Sesame Street...

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    In case you know, who did they get instead? I've enjoyed all the artists from the Fraggle Rock comics. I wonder if they got any of them back.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    The problem with that is it's clearly supposed to be a parody, but it doesn't come off as an obvious one. At least not until you watch it a second time. TMNT is all about parody, even the serious comics parodied Frank Miller's Daredevil comics, so I guess the Japanese producers said "Hey...

    TV Alert: The Muppets on "Good Luck Charlie" Season 4 premiere April 28, 2013

    I don't know who coerced who about the public loving one note joke Piggy, but we indeed have had that problem longer than anyone thinks. Of course, that's due to TV appearances, interviews specifically... NONE of that comes out in major projects. VMX and especially the last Muppet movie gave...

    Vicarious Mother

    There's a generation of people who just can't cook. That's the problem. Not to mention the poverty line. Which begs the question... why is no one going after those companies that sell 5 liter aquariums of terrible tasting soda at dollar stores or Banquet frozen dinners for a buck. They're...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I wouldn't exactly say nuanced... But the fact is, Bay is just the producer. He has that much influence in sucking when it comes to cartoon franchises. I'll give the movie credit. It got a major rewrite, and the Alien Turtles idea (which Bay himself swears was never intended in the first...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    How is $144 domestically/ > $300 internationally not that great? You act surprised that Dreamworks would make announce a sequel to something after the first big box office payday. It's usually movies they release in November that don't get sequels because they don't do all that well then...

    New XBox One features revealed

    I understand the need for anti-piracy measures, but the TRUE problem lies in these little upstart American game companies that make nothing but Shovel-ware. Companies that make those lame Redneck Games and Cold Stone Creamery games... if you're a store or restaurant, there's NO longer any...

    Pre-Order "The Muppet Movie" coming to Blu-ray August 13, 2013

    I don't see the logic in kids having that much ADHD that the original poster or video cover doesn't stand out in a sea of exactly the same looking DVD covers. But that's their logic in marketing these things. I wonder how much ownership Drew has over his own artworks and if Disney thought it...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    They're already planning a second Croods. I don't see how a second one would work without taking away from the happy ending or without making the second one redundant. They're also looking at a TV show.

    New XBox One features revealed

    I swear that the next big thing was supposed to be download only games. I guess that's for the next system. Having to pay fees for used games and a moratorium on borrowing? They clearly thought of Gamefly. It's a butt covering move. Someone once said something on another board about how the...
