    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    This thing's going to be on tonight, so I guess I'll find it somewhere tomorrow morning. I agree. At least with Beware the Batman, the show's intentionally different. I can't state enough that I'm on pins an needles for a series where Batman doesn't face Joker, Penguin, or anyone famous...

    Confound you, Comedy Central!

    I'm mixed about it. It does suck the big egg Futurama's really going to be cancelled this time (sucks even more that it wasn't as recursive as Family Guy getting renewed. Originally, that was supposed to be Adult Swim only until Fox picked it up). It really should have, at the very least, a...

    Fraggle movie

    Yes. Yes you are. If we can deal with Steve Whitmire carrying on Kermit the Frog, essentially an extension of Jim, recasting other characters is nothing. The show must go on, and having the character die with the performer is something no fan wants. When Rowlf and Scooter appeared in The...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    That and I still can't freaking like anything. Seriously. Stop screwing around with superficial new stuff and fix the insane amount of clumsy, idiotic glitches that plague the site.

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    Like I said before, it originally was going to be a wacky adventure more in line with Disney's other animated movies at the time. Something that had something for the whole family. The songs are okay, if completely Narmy, but other than that, they made a lame preachy clean black and white...

    Sesame Street comics coming fall 2012 from Ape Entertainment

    Free preview of the free preview issue Delightfully, the dialogue hasn't been skewed to a preschool easy reading style.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Consider that a film's profits are partially in merchandising. If the merchandise doesn't sell, on some level that becomes a failing, and somehow that gets taken into account for the movie's performance. Green Lantern, being a failure, couldn't sell toys. As a horrible side effect the TV...

    Fraggle Rock 30th Anniversary Website

    Seems like this is just merely referencing business partners rather than being an official fansite. I've noticed Henson posting more Fraggle Rock clips on YT, but other than that, it seems that the centerpiece of the 30th anniversary is the merchandise that's intended for the anniversary rather...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    But those are limited edition collectors whatevers. They're meant to carry a high price as they produce little of them and don't go for a mass retail audience. Even then, 15+ dollars for an action figure, for all the reasons James said (oil shenanigans raising the price of plastic and shipping...

    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    Of course, keeping in mind Scooter and Rowlf never had major roles in films. Not minor roles, but certainly no where near the main Kermit/Piggy/Fozzie/Gonzo focus the films usually have. And you won't believe how many people were shocked Bunsen and Beaker had such a small role in the last...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I understand completely what you mean. Also the fact that market manipulation of oil causes prices to increase at the drop of a hat, yet never actually retreat. Even when the toys have already shipped and are in the store room prior to the oil increase. Under no circumstances should <3" of...

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    That eloquently puts the other reason I hate it. It's revisionist history, and not even fun revisionist history, like Inglorious Basterds or Django Unchained. Come to think of it, they should have had Quentin Tarantino direct the movie. The film is overwrought Narm. If they were trying to...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    To give you a bit of perspective... They also had lower (or rather more reasonably) priced items like 10 dollar plush toys and 4 dollar "soft figures." Guess what was sold out, and guess what was stocked completely shelf to shelf? I'm sure there's a lot of marketing mumbo jumbo and license...

    Fraggles AND Transformers. I don't even need to comment on that. 'Nuff Said!

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Might I restate... 12 dollar small PVC figures with limited articulation There is no excuse on that end. Playmates is able to sell the new TMNT line for 10 bucks or less, and it's the only toy line I consistently see selling. I know all about the politics of why the prices have to go up...

    International skits on Youtube...

    Moishe Oofnik in some video about recycling with some pun that doesn't translate well from Hebrew. Uncanny Valley ensues.

    Shows you hate but love?

    Yeah.. Maury. If there was a thread called Shows you hate, but you REALLY hate, it would be number one on my list. Do we really need paternity tests every episode? And must they air 2 episodes per day OF said paternity tests in syndication?

    Happy 30th Anniversary Fraggle Rock!

    You know, semi-related to that, I'd just love someone to post a clip of Uncle Matt from the Japanese Fraggle Rock dub. I hear he's voiced by the late Junpei Takiguchi, also the same voice actor as Dokurobei-sama from Yatterman. What a difference in character that is. Sounds like they have...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    While I don't think this is going to make the movie any good, The Ninja Turtles Movie keeps the title TEENAGE MUTANT Ninja Turtles and has been rewritten. Unfortunately by the same person that did Snow White and the Huntsman, and it hasn't been recast, leaving all the poor casting decisions in...
