    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    The original movie, more or less, was the origin story. There was no way they would have had the budget or time in the movie for mousers, Baxter, or scientist April , but more or less followed a specific story arc in the manner fitting a 90 minute movie. Condensed with a lot of things changed...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I don't see why no one wants to take a cue from the fact that there's hundreds of other Comic Book movies out there and make a TMNT film the actual origin (well, before the whole Utrom thing), and do one where it starts with Baxter Stockman and the Mousers and having that tie into them facing...

    Engineering Conspiracy?

    I agree completely. It's bad enough Sesame Street's target demo is 3 year olds and they just came from the quote unquote "Dumbed down" era. Now they're teaching WAY too much in topics way too sophisticated for minds that young to follow. If Sesame Street were still a 4-6 year old program like...

    Muppet Wizard of Oz - Positives and Negatives

    Thanks. I was going to mention the comic book Muppet Snow White where Piggy voluntarily chooses to be the Wicked Queen to show her acting depth, but got insanely angry and jealous when she realized that Kermit was playing the prince, and what's worse, Spamella Hamderson was playing Snow White...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    When it fist aired, man. I taped it too. But since my VCR is gone, I'd have to get the DVD provided it's even still in print. But lemme tell you something. It's a stone cold shame that there was never any other Bloom County animated specials. The animation was the most beautiful thing...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    You... uh... know about Dr. Seuss's uh... earliest work, right? He kinda did some... uh... particularly not politically correct stuff. And I don't mean just his WW2 editorial cartoons. A Wish For Wings that Work. That was turned into an animated special...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    That's what I was using as reference by the way... just didn't feel like posting it. It's all about Scale. Troll in Central Park, adjusted, lost about 36 million, but it was pretty cheap to produce. But MNM... HUGE overblown budget... same with Green Lantern. It made like 200 mil... but out...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    I...uh...missed something? (Facepalm).... Yeah. It was his sled and Norman Bates' mother was dead all along. SPOILERS people. :halo: Thankfully I saw it, and I wouldn't so much say it's a nod so much as a GREAT gag payoff.

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    The (corrected) budget for the film was 20 million. Even if no one saw it, it's a 20 million dollar loss. That's a bomb, sure, but not even a legendary one. Mars needs Moms... THAT was legendary failure, mainly do to it's high budget. Now it depends on scale of percentage losses, if it's a...

    Muppet Legos

    Personally, I'm glad they made a Lord of the Rings line. Oh, not so much because I'm a fan. Just because they had the golden opportunity to make a Lego Legolas! :hungry:

    The Moopets

    Actually, I'd love it if Kermoot and Poogy barely cared about each other or even spent any time together outside that stage show. I kinda like to think that The Moopets is a very loose group of characters who'd leave each other if a better offer came along... that's kinda hinted (for me) how...

    Muppet Wizard of Oz - Positives and Negatives

    Hey, I loved VMX. That's what was wrong with MWOZ.... they tried too hard to make that film again, getting that same Simpsons/early Family Guy pop culture, genre savvy feel and just completely missing the mark. Sometimes trying too hard shows. VMX seemed more organic. Plus, if you take away...

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    There's so much backstage drama about the film that irks me. Basically, they just wanted to make their own Toy Story with Lawn Gnomes instead of toys.... and by making "another Toy Story," I mean the "things that come to life when no one's looking" aspect. John Lassiter shot it down, clearly...

    WB trying for Justice League movie again

    Here's the thing... we'll never get the Wonder Woman project we think we deserve. Somehow it's impossible to get Wonder Woman on any project for unexplained reasons of Warner Brothers having no real excuse. There was that idiotic "no more movies with female action stars" bit after a string of...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Well, Melman and Gloria's was a side plot point established in the second film, and they were just continuing with what they had there... but I agree about Alex. The Jaguar herself was a very flat character to begin with. A token female character that had some attitude for a while. She wasn't...

    WB trying for Justice League movie again

    But that's the point. That they think they have to have the same conditions as Avengers (It honestly didn't matter if Captain America and Thor did well, since the movie already was in production, but Iron Man 1 and 2 were the tells). I honestly think they could just go out and do a one shot...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I'm trying to keep an open mind, as the director is Genndy Tartakovsky. I can't say it really grabs me so far, but I'm a fan of his work, he got completely screwed by CN recently... it's nice to see him move on.
