    "What I Am" vs "Don't Give Up"

    Ah... they sound all the same to me. I don't care how positive those songs are, they're dangerously close to what I call "wuss Rock." This dude LOVES him some Rolling Stones and Queen, though.

    "What I Am" vs "Don't Give Up"

    ...!?! Then what the crap is that song Bruno Mars sings?

    The Worst Sesame Street Game that Never was... Grover Music Maker.

    While it is hard to judge a barely completed video game, and one for preschoolers at that, I have actually played (if that's the word for it) an emulation of this game and... well... This person's video can explain it. That's right. The game is little more than a kid's keyboard with jerky...

    "What I Am" vs "Don't Give Up"

    Is it a style thing, or is plain white background just cheaper? As for the music itself... I dunno... What I Am is a better song bar none. In tone and substance. Plus, it comes down to Will I. Am (who I really like) and Bruno Mars (who's "Soul Sister" song drives me nuts, and it's one of the...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    I can't even blame the writers... it seems that some hire up wants character purity of Elmo and Abby being overly perfect with one and other... even though when paired with others, they get a more comic reaction.

    What year did it all change for the worst?

    I can't stress enough that it was the fault of that completely disgusting antithesis of Sesame Street (a clean, conservative, suburban neighborhood with a little red school house... the safest of safe). Kid's programming had to have that cult mentality of worshiping one major character (guess...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    The reality is that this movie will no doubt have some focus on Elmo and Abby. If they're smart, they'll realize the mistakes made with EIG basically being a Toy commercial for Elmo stuff. Elmo's a great character when he's paired up with the right characters. Zoe can get a rise out of Elmo...

    First Look at Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The writers knew they were going to get fired, and came up with ludicrous plot points to screw with the next writer. That HAS to be the case. I liked the idea of the show taking a darker turn... OH, how I wish the TMNT series had the same tone as...

    First Look at Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles

    I'm not happy with Tween April at all. I really hope they do something that makes it worth while... but if it's a shallow attempt to pander to a younger audience, they might as well bring Zach back. I wish they'd rethink that by the time the show airs, but I doubt they will. I too want Casey...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    If this were a German film, it would indeed star Ernie and Bert. They REALLY love those guys over there.

    First Look at Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles

    It wasn't the first time they attempted a CGI TMNT Cartoon. If anything, the new series just has 10 years more of technology. I do like that CGI version of Splinter better than the one they're planning... and heck, better than the 2k7 movie Splinter, too.

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    The question is, are they even theatrical length? I missed CinderElmo, but saw Abby in Wonderland. There was NO attempt at making AIW look a thing like a movie (it wasn't even shot through a filter to make it look like a movie, unlike Cinderelmo), and it didn't have a run time measurable to a...

    What If...

    The Muppets was a gauge to see how well a Muppet film franchise could do. it's hard to call sequelitis on this because the Muppets have had 7 theatrical movies and 3 DTV/Telefilms since 1979, when the first one was released. He idea of a follow up Muppet Movie was basically the goal of the...

    First Look at Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles

    The Trailer has been released I still can't make up a decision about this one. There's still too little to go on, but they gave Mikey back his nunchucks and Don back his bo staff... I sorta like the design and sorta don't... I dunno. I want to see a full episode before I make judgement on...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    Who says you are? It's probably going to be better than half the SNL skit movies out there. EIG was rushed. No doubt about it. I have the same problem with that as I do with LTS... the other characters just sit their through most of the film, doing nothing to further the plot. And it...

    Monsters University teaser online

    It's an old feel good cliche. People who really hated each other becoming the best of friends. I can't wait to see ho them hating each other plays out.

    Potential New Muppet Show

    Just for the sake of the argument Production companies don't always earmark shows specifically for their own media outlets. Modern Family is produced by Fox, but it airs on Disney owned ABC. It never was like that, and it never will be. Sure, you'll see a Warner Brothers produced show on a...

    Muppet Figures: Disney Parks

    I FINALLY got to both find and pick up a set. There were like 3 left at the Disney Store I went to, and the best part is that all the figure sets were on sale for 9 bucks. I didn't open the package yet, because I'm looking for a spot to put them, but I'm very happy with how they came out. I'm...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    I wanna see them do an ensemble piece this time. Something that incorporates all the key current and classic characters, all working together. Logic would dictate that they'd consider an Abby focused movie, but that's going to scare away the boy demographic (look at the hoops Disney had and...

    First Look at Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles

    80's cartoons were a start of things to come in the 90's. There was some violence in 80's action cartoons (being someone who watched 1970's Super Friends and found it quaint, that's not a bad thing) that really helped set the stage for the groundbreaking Batman The Animated series, and Super...
