    Another Movie remake of the Grinch... really?

    Rule 34, Sarge... rule 34. I've seen so many things that are on so many levels of wrong that Oncest doesn't even sound weird to me. The internet is where weird fetishes go to grow and spread. You just have to do all your web searches with safe search on, and get 1/10th or what you're looking...

    Twice Upon a Time

    People who say this ripped off Adventure Time are probably bitter fan boys that are totally P.O'd that they don't have Powerpuff Girls in constant production... especially since we ALL know the 6th season (save for like 2 good episodes) sucked. The only thing that seems similar is Ralph the...

    Ty Muppet Beanies

    Let's not forget, there was a Christmas Kermit as well. Didn't get the chance to pick it up though.

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Doing The Avengers instead of a truly terrible thing like Oogieloves is a waste of their talent. Avengers wasn't at all stodgy a super hero film (I could see why they do the Nolan Batman films), it was nothing but fun and playful at that. That's like saying "Let's make fun of something done by...

    New "Elmo Hugs You Back" Toy

    Other than the smaller Tickle Me dolls and the small Cookie and Ernie TMX toys, there really hasn't been much. But Tickle Me Elmo was followed up by Sing and Snore Ernie the next year. It was pretty successful and it gave Ernie a huge bump in popularity, just not the hit Elmo was. Then there...

    What was the last DVD you bought and why?

    I found a bootleg of the Japanese only One Piece 3-D movie at a small Japanese grocer. And it was only a BUCK!

    When Did Remakes Go Bad?

    Personally, I like to call the Mr. Magoo remake Naked Gun 4: The Senile Years.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I think Sony really wants Cloudy to be its own personal Shrek. Shrek threw some of what the book was about away and changed a deal of stuff for the sake of making a more movie friendly 90 minute plot. Then it just became it's own thing for the next 3 films. Of course, with Shrek, they managed...

    New "Elmo Hugs You Back" Toy

    I'd rather they just keep those Sesame Street Pals packs coming. They've been stuck on the Abby/Zoe rollerblades and Count/Elmo Soccer assortment for well over a year now. Plus, it's time for Grover to have a big expensive interactive plush toy, don't you think?

    Another Movie remake of the Grinch... really?

    You know... I think this is an analogy that fits another Green guy... The Hulk. The first Hulk movie did so so, and there was quite a burn out on merchandise. People were very mixed about it, and wanted a better one. A few years later, they made another Hulk movie that tried to fix the...

    When Did Remakes Go Bad?

    Gadget and Underdog have the same problem. They have the barest shred of the concept, but forgot absolutely everything that made the shows special in the first place. I highly suspect they had generic scripts for other projects and slapped the franchise names on them because they were about to...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    There's a legitimate sequel to the book, and clearly they're not using it. Like they barely used the first one in the first place. But then again, when they do sequels of movies based on books that have sequels, they rarely use the sequels. Live action movies, maybe... if they're a film...

    Another Movie remake of the Grinch... really?

    Cliche, but it's a cliche rooted in truth. Some people who were bullied tend to get over it and lead happy lives, some are bitter, hateful, and regretful. I'm kinda the latter, so the movie did speak to me on that level. it's not so much the fact he became a villain because he was ostracized...

    Favorite Old Disney Shows?

    There's no further proof that the Disney version was much more preachy than this comparison. The old series had an episode where Doug gained a few pounds after a week at his Grandmothers. The Disney series had Patty obsessing over her weight after watching an infomercial. The difference? The...

    They go to a food based island where all the animals are food based. If I wanted to see that, I'd watch Toriko. In fact, I'll watch Toriko over most things anyway. I freaking LOVE Toriko.

    Favorite Old Disney Shows?

    I see what you mean. Though they did lampshade this beautifully in the first episode where Doug was very uncomfortable and almost completely annoyed and confused by all the changes. Almost a stealth way of saying "Yeah. We changed stuff." On the one hand, I agree that a lot of the changes...

    Favorite Old Disney Shows?

    I'd wish Disney would consider outsourcing its TV shows for DVD releases. All the classic Disney Afternoon shows should be on DVD. I still call bull on them not releasing Buzz Lightyear of Star Command in any scope after Toy Story 3. Weird thing is, the Darkwing Duck DVD sets, despite being...

    Favorite Old Disney Shows?

    Nick's Doug is better all around with the exception of the show being grainy and dark and kinda muted in color. The one improvement Disney's version had was the clearer, more colorful, and consistent designs of the characters. if anything Disney's version was better looking (Character...

    Favorite Old Disney Shows?

    And I must admit, I'm probably the only one that didn't hate Disney's version of Doug for what it was. I loved the S.T.U.A.R.T. conspiracy episode.
