    When you need to rant...

    But doing nothing is doing nothing. This happens every single time there's a tragedy. We want someone to do something, we look at the options, arbitrarily say "that's not going to do anything" and then let it happen again. There's a lot that could have been solved in hindsight, but taking a...

    Best & Worst Film & TV: 2012

    The problem is that it's part of three movies. And that's the rock and a hard place book movies get caught between. Either they get flack for not including key things and being a condensed version of the story, or they get flack from including everything and moving at a snail's pace. I've...

    Best & Worst Film & TV: 2012

    But enough of that. I wanna give my big Nelson Muntz "HA HA" of the year to Park Avenue 666. That show was set up to fail. And an additional "HA HA" to Partners. Seriously, Will and Grace was the only hit those untalented hacks ever had. I still don't see why that was such a hit. The writing...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I guess you're right about that. I'm going to have to blame the studio for wanting it lopped to a certain run time for taking out a major exposition. Hopefully with this next film, the writers knew their limits time wise. Seems like they wrote a 2 and a half hour sweeping epic for something...

    When you need to rant...

    In one of the gun buy back programs, there were at least 2 grenade launchers. I'm really sick of the "gum'ment commin' ta take ERR GURRRNS" hysteria. I don't see why anyone needs an Ak47 assault rifle that isn't fighting in a war overseas. I barely understand why we even need them there...

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    I think I might just hold out and get that complete series. I HATE that complete series have special things that aren't available on the single sets, but I hate it when the complete series doesn't have the same things the individual sets have. Like the Fraggle Rock note pads. I haven't got...

    Best & Worst Film & TV: 2012

    The network is the worst thing that exists on television bar none. From cult members with way too many kids to grotesquely fat people to grotesquely fat people in cults with too many kids, also their kids are dwarfs that extreme coupon. The fact that people watch that stuff is basically the...

    Marvin The Martian And Hong Kong Phooey Movies Leaked

    It NEEDS to be Garret Morris. He needs a raspier voice more on par with Scatman Crothers, as well as having a cool, calm, yet overly egotistical nature. Not to mention that everyone else is just as oblivious as he is, thinking he's the greatest super hero crime fighter ever. There's quite a bit...

    Marvin The Martian And Hong Kong Phooey Movies Leaked

    There's a conspiracy that toilet humor is shoved into kid's movies to purposely get a PG rating. There's potential in Hong Kong Phooey the movie, but they need to start over. No hyper TUFF Puppy stuff. It doesn't work with the character.

    Best & Worst Film & TV: 2012

    Cracked had a brilliant assessment of the series. Essentially we need to keep vilifying and stereotyping low class families that work hard for little or no pay and even have to get on welfare and unemployment. Instead of thinking about families that have it tough, the diabetic, Jabba the Hutt...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Uh... do you edit the TVTropes page for Arthur, or are you completely agreeing with that it said? Because I swear I just read that exact bit about her cell on that page. Especially how dated it is because she was rich enough to have one, when bargain basement phone deals are what give kids...

    Movie posters: Good and bad

    Heh. At least those are engaging looking. There's so many posters that just look awful. Just awful. Those are the good ones.

    Best & Worst Film & TV: 2012

    Is it too easy to say Honey Boo Boo and The Oogieloves movie were the worst of television and movies respectively?

    Marvin The Martian And Hong Kong Phooey Movies Leaked

    On a technicality, they did. He's one of those annoying hybrid realistic/cartoonish things. I'd place him closer to Yogi Bear or the Smurfs than Underdog. Underdog was taking a real dog. At least this time HKP was able to walk on his hind legs. I wouldn't picture a Hong Kong Phooey movie...

    Best & Worst Film & TV: 2012

    The show's been on well past its prime and is such a network pet they don't even need any good writers. Seth actually wants to end the series so he can work on more projects like Ted and his Flintstones remake he desperately wants to get out there. Seth does have talent and he is a very funny...

    Marvin The Martian And Hong Kong Phooey Movies Leaked

    Not quite the reaction I had like 8 or so years ago when both films were announced. Of course, that long ago I actually liked films like that. Actually... no... Marvin the Martian was announced 2007 ish, and I was more of a "let's wait and see" attitude. I forget when they first threatened to...

    Marvin The Martian And Hong Kong Phooey Movies Leaked

    Phooey looks basically what I'd expect (I posted this in another thread, BTW). Very Scooby-Doo ish. I take more issue with his out of character hyper activity. Hey! That's the same exact reason I hated new George of the Jungle. Why must old cartoon characters all the sudden turn into ADHD...

    Roger Rabbit Blu-ray March 12, 2013!

    A lot of movies are looked backward with a sense of "It's historical, so its art" especially if they were completely disregarded flops in their own time. Cane was a satirical piece that only makes sense in that context if you lived when the guy they were making fun of lived. And that guy made...

    Roger Rabbit Blu-ray March 12, 2013!

    Personally, I saw Citizen Cane and, while I did sort of enjoy it, it wasn't for me and it requires a great deal of historical understanding to really get. Am I going to be a sourpuss and condemn people who do like it? No. Something would have to be entirely awful for me to want that, but...

    Roger Rabbit Blu-ray March 12, 2013!

    It's a great thing Eisner's out of the picture, then. This movie needs all the exposure it deserves, and it's about time to see new Roger goods in stores.
