    What year did it all change for the worst?

    I don't know about the actual movement, but when it comes to children's television, I blame the 70's, and movements that started slowly in that decade... but things didn't affect Sesame Street until the 90's. But that's just what I heard and what started to happen because of Action for...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    If they do, there's not much more to the story they can add, since (mild spoiler, but you saw it anyway) They basically abandon the zoo completely and have found a more satisfying venue. I'm sure they will try for it, but it's best for the film series they don't. Just give us the...

    4Kids Sells Yu-Gi-Oh To Konami, While Saban Brands Gets Sonic X, And More

    My Eek the Cat/Fox Kids cartoon loving 12 year old self just punched a wall in my mind. However, My completely accepting older self is just happy kids have something to watch on Saturdays besides Cookie Jar's preschooly garbage and ABC's Litton's Embarrassment. Never really been a MMPR fan...

    FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, HASBRO! KNOCK IT OFF!

    That's all a current TV show as a movie needs to sell itself as a movie apart from a TV show. Spongebob had some (the David Hasslehoff part sticks out in my mind... mainly because it's disturbing), The Simpsons (no stranger to the celebrity cameo) had a few... it's not a necessity, since not...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Madagascar is dumb... but in the sense that it doesn't take itself seriously and tries too hard to stand on a soap box about something it really doesn't believe in. It's far less smug and self satisfying than their Shrek franchise. Madagascar is all about loud nonsensical fun, and it has an...

    4Kids Sells Yu-Gi-Oh To Konami, While Saban Brands Gets Sonic X, And More

    They sure are in dire straights since Laird sold TMNT. That was the LAST big money maker they had. Even during the last season of the show, you could tell there was some marketing direction they desperately wanted to take in online card games (I don't really want to go into the whole story...

    FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, HASBRO! KNOCK IT OFF!

    It's not so much that they're blowing it on a toy movie. They're blowing it on a toy movie of a franchise that can't be made into a valid storyline that could fill a movie plot. G.I. Joe and Transformers have had extensive world building through animated programming and comic books...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    Films don't usually flop because of poor writing. There are a LOT of well written, beloved movies that flop. Labyrinth, is one... but so wasn't Christmas staple "It's a Wonderful Life," which only gained a cult following due to the copyright expiring. EIG failed first and foremost because the...

    What year did it all change for the worst?

    The funny thing is... they kinda did. They gave her a body suit, and it accentuated the problem. Little kids do not like cleavage. Boys think it's gross, girls just say that's what their mommy has... no one was selling sex. At worst, they should have used some CGI trickery to cover it up. Still...

    Some interesting things about Avengers... The movie is approaching (or has approached) the 600 M mark Just a little further and it can unseat the over rated Titanic. I think it can make it before all is said and done. Hopefully the second run theaters can give it a boost before it comes to...

    When you need to rant...

    I hate the opposite. When people stick to a comfort zone and automatically hate everything new without giving it a chance. I mean virtually anything, from TV shows to movies... I consider myself well rounded and have tastes that include both the old and the new, and I'm pretty willing to give...

    When you need to rant...

    I've been struggling with this forever. The past decade and 1/5th it's all about "You're only a patriot if you believe what we want you to believe." Under one guy, you're only a patriot if you completely and utterly agree with him and never say anything against him, under another guy you're...

    This Will Make Drtooth Happy

    It makes me happy to the extent I have no money to get that whole big thing and can watch the entire thing on hulu anyway... but I'm glad they FINALLY got the rights together to put this on DVD after the last 2 companies that were said to do the Fat Albert season sets went under just before they...

    Potential New Muppet Show

    Ratings demographics are bull freaking crap. They always were, and they killed so many shows. Internet and goth kid who never watched it favorite Invader Zim being a famous example, Cedric the Entertainer being another. But even then, television networks weren't exactly kind to the Muppets...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm shocked that there aren't any live action crappy remakes of cartoon shows or halfbaked book adaptions this Summer, relying only on CGI movies and a couple stop motion films. Sure, there are 2 sequels. Still, there aren't really any trends in...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    The movie isn't going to be a hit if it's R or PG-13. It's not destined for that at all. The weekend will see how well R-rated comedy Ted does, and that has the Seth MacFarline powerhouse behind it. This movie's not supposed to be the next Hangover. It's clearly supposed to be the next Bubba...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I wouldn't tend to say so, but considering the bear's out of the bag, there's a LOT more humor in the film when said person turns into a bear and becomes the comic relief for a sizable part of the film. But like I said, as far as story goes, it's the best Princess thing to come out of Disney...

    YouTube Poops

    You can still get stuff off of Dailymotion (good luck finding anything good, though). Unfortunately, the only Arthur episode I found was "Bleep," and I had a couple strong ideas I never managed to get around to doing. I have one more off of stuff I got off of YT I'm currently working on. I...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    It's all based on comic books that no one really reads, man. Same deal with Cowboys and Aliens. They're strange indie comics hipster nerds read instead of the mainstream Super Heroes that people have actually heard of. If you have Spidey, The Avengers, and Batman, why go for something off the...

    2013 Muppets Wall Calendar

    Okay... get ready to apply palms to your faces... These are photos of a Disney Store Tote bag... Front Side: It makes brilliant use of new and some older stock photos, and gives them some wonderful visual dazzle. They could JUST as easily use the SAME artwork here. I LOVE that...
