    "Jump the Shark" Thread

    Actually, only the 10th Anniversary special was done in Flash. You mean digital coloring, right? I liked the crisper, cleaner look of the show by the time the movie came out. The episodes since the movie were hit or miss. They turned the Mayor into a babbling idiot (I HATE Toast of the...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Actually, we should take the Rumor out of the title. It's pretty much been confirmed. However, this film won't be out for at least 4 years, if anything. Thankfully we have at least 2 more original films to go through. The Good Dinosaur and "Untitled Pixar Movie that Takes You into the Human...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Now that's something we all can agree on. Like I said, the comments section had a lot of conservatives calling this out. I hate when some political party, right and left, tries to make everything some brainwashing propaganda against their view points. heck, Rush was complaining about the...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Toy Story and Cars had "2" because the name really didn't give a mention of the plot. Monsters Inc could have been a 2 under that logic as well, but they wanted a prequel and a different plot, so they changed the name. In fact, before the project went into further development, it was called...

    Muppets Tonight what went wrong?

    Minor Muppets pretty much said it all... but the main problem was that even the writers didn't know which direction the show should have been going. They picked a strange format for the show, a late night talk show/sketch comedy, and it didn't gel with itself. That's why Clifford was the host...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Yeah... the BAD TS3... I could make jokes, but ... yeah... Buzz getting recalled with various ripoffs of characters from brave Little Toaster? That wouldn't have been the tear inducing, emotional beauty that is Pixar's TS3. I could only imagine what 7 Circle's Finding Nemo 2 was. We lost...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Yeah. I dunno what went on during the filming of The Muppets, and I don't want to. But it seems there were tensions early on, and the film turned out very good. Unlike MFS where tensions plagued the entire production, a director was removed and all that. That movie came out a contractual...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    I think Roger Rabbit does deserve a continuation, but ONLY if we can have the same circumstances that made the first one. Co-operation between various licensing companies for one. If we can have Sega, Namco, Nintendo, and Capcom characters (to name a few... Sony owns Q*bert) in Wreck it Ralph...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    on the subjects... John Carter That was Disney's fault. They basically (as one of the comments said) threw Andrew under the bus with the terrible marketing mistakes they made with the movie. Not to mention the fact that A) they didn't even mention the fact it was created by the same person...

    What year did it all change for the worst?

    Money, thrown away. If it isn't Disney's fault, BK's kid's meals are absolute garbage now. I saw a kid get a nondescript softball with no characters of any kind on them. But that's another rant for another time. I know McD's absolutely refuses to do PG-13 movie tie ins. At least, after...

    Rumor: Finding Nemo 2?

    Pixar's gone sequel crazy again. There is no plot to speak of yet, but what more can they do? They already found him... if they lose him again, it'll be Hangover 2 all over again. I know Ellen was complaining that they sequeled just about everything else, but the movie she was in. But I...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Without any disrespect to anyone... A certain disgusting, hedonistic, talking pustule is already whining about The Dark Knight Rises because a character that was created back in the early 90's in a movie that's been in development for a few years sounds suspiciously like a not at all greedy...

    When you need to rant...

    Yeah... I kinda lump live audiences and laugh tracks together... but the same problem arises... you need to make the jokes MORE important than the plot and character development. On a good show, you tend to not notice. But a BAD show will let you notice the rhythm... joke laugh, joke laugh...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Seriously. There IS no argument about this appealing to children. It's frightening on so many levels.

    When you need to rant...

    That was All those terrible ABC sitcoms. My Wife and Kids (unfunny), 8 Simple Rules (unfunny), Hope and Faith (unfunny), According to Jim (howlingly unfunny and slightly homophobic). Not to mention (I'm not going to make friends here) overrated, loud, shrill, Will and Grace as well. Not too...

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    Paper crafts AREN'T toys! They aren't even prizes. They're something you can PRINT OUT at home. For free (minus the cost of ink and paper that is). That's like calling a sticker a "prize." It isn't. This is Cracker jack quality garbage, and a TOTAL disappointment, even looking at this...

    When you need to rant...

    When it comes to laugh tracks, I'm mixed. On the one hand, they worked perfectly for older sitcoms.... but nowadays, I kinda like the movement away from the Laugh track to make TV sitcoms look more theatrical. The problem lies not in the fact that it's obsolete... it's been exhausted by...

    Season 40 - 42 episodes now available for purchase on YouTube

    Two things. The real news is that they have episodes for purchase from older seasons (but probably the same as iTunes as well). Secondly... pay Sesame Street? REALLY?!?! You don't even get to download or own these episodes. You have to pay 2 bucks to watch them. And I don't know how that...

    Rovio Is Teaming Up With Marvel To Create Angry Birds Movie

    Nah. It goes beyond making stereotypes. Far beyond. With stereotypes, you make a bold generalization of something. With this, they're making broad generalizations to pretend to understand a counter culture. And quite frankly, they were more accurate with nerd culture when they were using...

    Do Bowie and Connelly really dislike Labyrinth?

    Quite honestly, does anyone ever not look back at something they made/did when they were younger and be a little embarrassed?
