    The Moopets

    Of the small things that bothered me about the new film (again, it all comes down to wanting more in every single case) is that there should have been a lot more use of the characters. I don't know where they'd fit in with the new movie's plot, but I'd LOVE to see those characters (at least...

    Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny - Worst Movie Ever?

    2 Things... Really? I could have sworn it was trying to make a 1960's movie that would have been relevant in the 1960's or at least sometime in the 90's when 1960's stuff was sort of relevant that made no sense any way in the mid 00's when 1980's stuff was coming back. Or at the very least...

    Will the Count live on?

    I'm sure Jerry knew that he'd have to stop performing one day, that's why he handpicked Matt to perform the puppetry for him in recent years. I wouldn't doubt he groomed him as an understudy in the case he wouldn't be their to do the voice either. And, because he died after the production...

    Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny - Worst Movie Ever?

    What about that OOg thing? The Love Guru was Mike Myers trying and not being successful at making a Peter Sellers style movie about 30 years after it could have been funny. It really feels like it could have been something, but just didn't achieve it.

    Star Wars DETOURS

    You're only half right... the series is done COMPLETELY by the Robot Chicken crew, especially Seth Green. But the main difference is, they plan to make it kid friendly. I like Robot Chicken to an extent, but all too often I find they ruin genuinely funny sketches with obligatory sex and drugs...

    Lots of MUP3's, Wanna Trade?

    Anyone have Surfin' Bird and/or It's Raining Cookies?

    Will the Count live on?

    There is one instance, I forget what recent episode it was, where The Count laughed after a line, and that line wasn't recorded or dubbed by Jerry. It's fairly obvious if you listen closely. So we probably got a taste of Matt's Count already. Personally, I'd love to see them bring back some...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Eh, sort of. More like Raph and Mikey always steal the show for me in any given version. Though I LOVED the fact Leo blew a gasket in season 4 of the 2k3 series because he thought he was unable to save his family after a huge battle.

    Donny's alright by me. I hate to be the only one that ever says this, but while I can't say least favorite turtles, Leo has to be my fourth favorite.

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    I've been trying very hard to find the right words to express this... His voice is irreplaceable and we'll all miss it. His talent was undefinable, and that will be missed too. While he did have a lot of star characters, what I like to remember about him is the fact he was so versatile that...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    (Freakazoid extended spittake)... FOR REALZ?! The show was going to be good? Now I REALLY hate that series. But I get the comparison. But just about everything looks pretty acid based when you're older, especially stuff that had an air of 60's-70's psychedelic pop culture to it. Still...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I saw that article.... ehhh... it's nice and all, but it's not half as good as the Scooby-Doo complete series van. it actually had figural Shaggy and Scooby, whereas this one has sticker windows. Seriously... I'd buy the Scooby set just for the container.

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I really need more to see more of H.R... but with H.R. there's at least a story to follow. Teletubbies is just a chaotic mishmash of what they'd think one year olds could pick up on. There are different reasons why adults like them ironically but, H.R. has legitimate fans too, and no one I...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    It's all a matter of perspective. I do think the new film sort of kind of compares with the old ones and holds up as slightly weaker than the classics, yet I think it holds up MUCH better than the newer films, MFS especially. But when it comes to outside cinema, kids movies especially, it...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    I'm at a complete loss for words... this news hit me like a brick wrapped in concrete. I'm sure I'd have something poignant to say when the shock wears off. Drinking this in is going to be quite painful. It's absolutely devastating when someone that close to your childhood memories passes. I...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    To be fair, that's a Disney spinoff with only some input from Pixar... but there is no real need for it, and the previews make it look like a CGI 90 minute version of an old cartoon I saw once. I can't remember the name of it, or what studio directed it. If I could remember, it was about some...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I can't say I'm a huge Krofft fan, but it's a weird comparison. Krofft shows are all about story telling, and Teletubbies was an illfated, yet successful, attempt to make shows for kids too young to watch or even enjoy TV by making things flash and repeat themselves. I saw some of the H.R...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Teletubbies was popular ironically, but Boobah was a nothing show with nothing for no one. If it was about fitness, the characters were fat... if it was for preschoolers, the characters were too creepy looking...there was virtually NO appeal on any count. And it bombed in a very embarrassing...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Just feel I have to point this out. Know how when I was talking about the new Spider-Man film, I said that, considering the Daily Bugle became both print and televised news media in the film, JJJ would probably be an O'Reily Factor type editorial show host? Turns out they already are doing...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Durr... I keep forgetting that Dreamworks outsources a lot of its animation. That's how they get 2 or 3 movies out in a year. Had Monsters University came out this year, it would have been the first (and probably only) time we had more than one Pixar film in a year. They clearly didn't want...
