    Family Guy Movie... Oy Vey...

    Again, I'm sorry... but we SHOULD get more movies based on TV cartoons while they're still being produced. Imagine if they made a proper Inspector Gadget movie in 1984 animated in Japan (like the series), voiced by Don Adams and the rest, and released by DIC rather than the crummy Disney live...

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    I never really bought the "characters being phased out because of Elmo" meme. It all had to do with puppeteer availability. Cookie, Bert and Grover were appearing less because Frank was. Eric and David brought the characters back. Cookie's pretty much the character you'll see most next to...

    The Chipmunks

    I seriously love this whole going back to 1999 style single disk DVD's with 3-4 episodes for 20 bucks thing that the entertainment industry is doing. People buy box sets and season by season collections. You get more for your money, and newer shows with tighter continuity work better on DVD...

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    That's the Fleeting Demographic rule. Kids don't know or care much for characters that aren't on often, unlike us who grew up with them. On the one hand, it is pretty sad that kids don't have the same connection, but they have their own characters they connect to. We've seen Hooper's store...

    Family Guy Movie... Oy Vey...

    Family Guy has been on a very long time, not as long as the Simpsons of course, but There's less and less they can do with a movie. Especially since the characters keep getting flattened into one note jokes. But I've noticed they've been doing more daring action/adventure based plot lines...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    The sad thing is, you can say that about any creative type that gets all the credit. Look at Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. One's a household name and trusted brand of entertainment, the other name is only known to animation geeks.

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    Elmo's freaking bigger than the company! I skipped right from TV show. I kinda think it's best if the character were to lay low for a while, but people are still grabbing up Elmo stuff. Not to mention a bit of season 44 has already been filmed. It's not until that second half where we'd see...

    Here We Go AGAIN...

    I still wonder if that's the case. I just hope it isn't as pointless as SOPA/PIPA was... but then again, I'm pretty sure we're in the closing days of the Wild West part of the Internet. You know, before all the corporations take over an make it suck like everything else. Still, per every...

    When you need to rant...

    2 years ago, that same jetstream and El Nino kept giving us Snowstorm after snowstorm. It was terrible. And all because it was blocked by high pressure in Greenland. Everywhere else got nice warm weather, we kept getting blockbusters on top of blockbusters. But that's the way it is in the...

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    By that logic, you could say the same for the older episodes going from one thing to another every 2 minutes. The older episodes did have a problem going back and forth from longer to shorter segments. Look at "Hey Cow, I see you Now." That's 7 minutes long and it comes on with little or no...

    Family Guy Movie... Oy Vey...

    I still don't see the "OY Vey" in something popular getting something that's basically an inevitability. I see worse things getting greenlighted all the time.

    Questions about Muppet Babies in general

    It really seems Scooter is the only character to have a drastic change, and that was because every 1980's cartoon series had to have a nerd on the team. Scooter has glasses, and somehow that automatically equaled nerd. Yet, I do notice some nerd-like qualities in Scooter in general. It just...

    Here We Go AGAIN...

    It's not really the government, it's companies that buy representation and lobbyists that want the government to step in and do stuff for them. Which is such a laugh when you think about it. We have these Grover Norquest jerks come in and tell the government hands off big business when the...

    When you need to rant...

    Climate change happens at both ends of the spectrum. Some places may feel warmer than they should, but then we get places colder and stormier than we should, too. I've always noticed when December starts out warm, it gets cold very fast and stays cold. If we have a cold December, we usually...

    Here We Go AGAIN...

    What they're asking for isn't clear, exactly. Is this yet another misguided anti-piracy piece of crap that does nothing to solve the problem of people who wouldn't buy CD's or see movies anyway while turning a blind eye to physical format bootleggers?

    Roger Rabbit 2 script completed, 3D being used

    THAT would work. They need that. Somehow I see Zemeckis's name next to CGI and think of his terrible zombie motion capture system. The one used for TinTin was better, but mocap just doesn't look as good as they think it does.

    Should Sesame Street continue?

    The problem is, everything else on children's TV is like that now anyway. Like I always say, Sesame Street doesn't intentionally "dumb" itself down, rather there's a black hole created by Nick Jr. and Disney Jr. shows that drags the rest of children's television down with it. I hate the fact...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I said that several times already, yes. And they're suing a legitimate porn production company that's making a, let's just say, more faithful adaption of the book. After all, it is fan fiction, and we all know what a good half of them are and why Archie comics goes after people who do Archie...
