    Dinosaurs Finale

    Fraggle Rock was a little more delicate because it had more of a children's audience. It held up a mirror saying "what you humans are doing is silly" where as Dinosaurs said "What you humans are doing is downright silly and very destructive." Not that Fraggles is a delicate show. It showed...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    Alternatively, there could be a scene in which they were caught. Singer pulls everyone into his office, asking them to explain themselves. Fozzie (or Gonzo) explains that they need to meet the alien mother ship, but Kermit stops them from saying the exact location. Singer thinks for a second...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    You know what's annoying? They're holding the last episode until June. I'm REALLY sick of how they stagger these PBS shows.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I hate the way they condense that sort of news for the masses that don't understand how things run. I mean, believe me. A Top Spot opening doesn't always mean runaway success. I've seen movies that manage to completely flop after the first week. The only reason something didn't "dethrone"...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The reason why the first Star Wars films were great (and this has been proven by the writers of the Cracked web site) was that George collaborated with other people and just took all the credit. The prequels were all George, so that speaks volumes. But the older visionaries get, the less...

    Muppets at Target

    They must be regional. I looked all over the 6 Targets I can get to, and they don't have them. I don't think the staff know they exist, since the one time I asked they had no idea what I was talking about.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I can laugh about the concept of the first movie, especially since it was deemed suitable for a kid's cartoon series. But I agree that Viggo was a much more threatening villain. I don't know if this is at all true, but Columbia pretty much just about forced them to make a second one after the...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    The only problem I have with The Muppets is that there was too much concept in the run time they were allotted. They cut out quite a bit, but the movie had a break neck pace that made the most of every single moment. Other than the Me party segment, nothing dragged the movie down. MFS is...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The problem with GB2 was that in between the first and second one, the cartoon series happened. It tried very hard not to be the cartoon series, yet it sorta turned into it somehow. It's a good movie, but I think too much of the plot is saddled with "Everyone broke up and we have to get the...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    And it's not even just that. They had 3 of Frank's biggest characters in one whole sequence, and they didn't really do much of anything too in character or even notable. Somehow it feels like the movie should have had room for the Muppets to split up in COVNET and have separate adventures...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Well, I'm really close to MIB, so I have a biased. My main problem with the franchise is that the cartoon series surpasses the movies in concept and execution. I mean, I'd LOVE to see them make a movie about Agent Alpha. Not to mention they took the Worm's coffee obsession to crazy levels in...

    Toonami's Coming Back!!

    I'm familiar with the editing of stuff that's completely okay for an 8 year old Japanese kid, that our 8 year olds would have no problem with, that's censored for lazy parents who want to shield their kids from ... yeah. The thing is, adult swim airs anime anyway... and most of them are ones...

    Wreck It Ralph's First Trailer Will Be Released June 6th!!

    But unlike all those other ones, this appears to have a plot! If this is a clumsy attempt to get gamers to see these movies, it's a heck of a lot less clumsy than all the other attempts I've seen over the years. Who was the Chun Li movie for? If nothing else, this will be just another...

    Muppets at Target

    These must be online exclusives. I'm completely lousy with Targets, and every single one I've went to doesn't have them.

    They sure are getting later and later with these trailers. Didn't we get the first official Muppet Trailer sometime in May?

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    You know, I really like Adventure time, but I LOVE Regular Show. I wish it got the same attention AT gets, I hear there is some sort of toy line coming later this year. I guess it's mainly for a slightly older audience that's holding it back. But it's like an adult swim show that doesn't have...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I just came from seeing it yesterday. It depends on what you're looking for, but I'd say it was brilliant. The problem with Men in Black 2 was that it tried TOO hard to recapture what made the first one special. This one went in another direction. It has a couple gags that they've done before...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    If someone over the age of 3 doesn't recognize the Muppet Show character that's the most marketed (over Kermit at this point), they really don't know anything, do they? Of course, the connection isn't that screwy. Animal DOES look like a feral Elmo... to some extent... I guess...

    Eh,... I think Boom's Peanuts comics are over. That's a shame. And they JUST got Peppermint Patty into a storyline too.
