    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    The first one was one of the most brilliant comic book movies I've ever seen. Doing it low budget just to afford Henson's puppetry for the suits made the film dark and gritty, and it looked just as good, if not better, than big budget super hero films. Other than a couple changes to make the...

    New XBox One features revealed

    I wouldn't so much call those innovations as much as... well... this is a family site... It rhymes with Duck Sue... all I can say. Cracked sums it up nicely This is why I hate the new era video game market. They want to find greedier ways to get you stuck with terrible games. That way...

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    Does he know what the box set contains? I just wanna know if the animated series is really included or not, and if we have the same or different bonus features from the last time. I never managed to get anything past the first season, and I wouldn't mind double dipping if it's more cost...

    When you need to rant...

    Not quite. They just have a better balance of exercise, and a better over all work and school culture. I find it absolutely crazy that we have the most banal snack foods and fast foods and we're the unhealthy ones. The most variety we get is maybe a dozen flavors of Doritos. Meanwhile, our...

    Museum of the Moving Image creating puppet and prop gallery for Jim Henson

    The fact that Gobo's back makes me incredibly happy. I'm glad they brought him along for the announcement.

    When you need to rant...

    This just got to me... How come we're the fat country when other countries have fast food items that are far far worse than what we get over here? McDonald's, the company that got rid of super sizing after that stupid documentary, is releasing a container that's like 2 orders of large fires...

    I had a thought...

    It makes me wonder if the pipe was just a one off joke, having it just so he could eat it that one time. And if him eating that pipe would be either a running gag, or just funny once. Still, he doesn't smoke it. Popeye never smoked his pipe, and uses it for tooting or as a straw for eating...

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    I'm not buying a Kiddy disk for 10 bucks, especially since I have most of the episodes. That said, someone has to have seen or picked up the Complete series set re-release. Unless it was delayed or something.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    The movie sounds better than the original concepts, but the casting makes me angry. Mickey the short guy from Seinfeld as Splinter? Perhaps the most poignant and tragic character in the turtles mythos... so much so, he's the only character in Turtles Forever that wasn't caricatured in 80's...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Those are all old tropes they always had. Though there was that episode of the old series where Leonardo gets bonked on the head and thinks he is one of the Musketeers. And HEY! Same voice actor of Leonardo was in the English dub of Dogtainian and the Muskehounds.

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

    These old movies unfortunately have to work with whatever they actually kept. I really hope there's access to enough for these special features. The camera tests are a given... they were already released on DVD under Sony. Unless there's some weird copyright hold over, there should be no...

    The Lionsgate reissued edition didn't come with one.] Or a track listing, apparently.

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    And that's why the last movie failed. WTP turned into a preschool franchise ever since Book of Pooh, and it doesn't help that the last Pooh project before that movie was a Dora the Explorer style preschool series.

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    On the one hand, The Simpsons, South Park, the first Sex in the City, Rugrats, and Beavis and Butthead were all very successful... with the exception of Rugrats, they were able to have a lot more freedoms in terms of censorship. Sot that kinda helped. I always say this, but I'm baffled by the...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I don;t remember him talking much about the sale to Universal, let alone Disney's involvement. I think there was a brief mention of them releasing the Bullwinkle cartoons on home video, but that was it. But on the plus side, we got Darkwing Duck out of it.

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    Something tells me negotiations fell through pretty early on, at least Fox backing out. I'm sure if the film even went to the drawing tables Joey would have heard about it one way or another. The fact that someone that's pretty high up doesn't know what's going on says this movie wasn't going...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    The cover clearly says "Super Mario World 2." Intended as a prequel or not, it's the numbering. Now, I was only half right about Yoshi's Island 2... They renamed it Yoshi's Island DS. So... technically, Yoshi's Island should be Super Mario Bros. 5 and Yoshi's Island DS should be SMB...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Except they've had that problem since they started selling consoles in the US, and it only really cost them back then when Mortal Kombat came around. The making games and gadgets specifically for non-gamers worked well for Wii... but Wii U is too innovative. There are things that are...
