Kids still love Elmo, and the only ones not buying Elmo toys are the parents that actually bothered to get offended by the story. The real problem is, kids just aren't buying toys anymore period. I did see the new TMNT line disappear from store shelves, though. But other than that, toys are...

Simple. It's not made to make sense, so you need not think about why. Best I could logically dictate is British child slang from the 1800's (or whenever it was written). Didn't Piglet live in a house called Trespassers Will... as in "Trespassers will be shot?" It's clearly through the eyes...

That is part of the problem. Sesame Street is having a bad case of the "We're still relevants," and the competition is only popular because it's shiny and new. But the celebrity bits aren't for the kids. I'm sure the kids barely know who half these people are. It's to get mommy and daddy to...

It depends on what you look at. It's over in the sense that the wealthy pigs that screwed everyone over gained everything back and more. The Stock market is higher than it's ever been (though it dropped a crapload because the sweet sweet government money they deny to everyone else has a chance...

Now that I think about it, I still wish they were bought out by a competent brand. The CEO and shareholders' complete blind greed and indescribable stupidity fell the company at least two or three times. As long as they don't fall into the same trap, this is a good thing... but I don't trust...

You know, I found the title of a Japanese TV show I heard about a year ago that was driving me nuts because I forgot it better and easier on TVTropes than on wikipedia.

Excuse me, but when are they ever not having a budget crisis? I'm sure PBS is giving them less and less, and no matter how many sponsors they have, they still don't have enough money. The crappy cable competition is killing the show, sure... but things shouldn't be this bad. I just love this...

Again, I blame PBS. Somewhere down the line, they got so desperate and started running said Self Help infomercials instead of actual special programming during pledge months. A Sesame Street special would be perfect for a pledge month special, but they rarely move from those kind of programs...

I see what you're getting at. I'm picking up on the reviewer's angry vibe that they force you to wait longer to "digitize" characters if you don't buy in game premium currency. I still call scam, because these games make their money from the in game premium purchases. And while entirely...

A review of this app on Toughpigs. It seems cool and flashy enough, but it really seems to speak up my dislike for these kinds of games. Specifically the whole use of real world currency to buy premium in game currency to make the game better. Really, that is a scam worthy of the Doronbo...

I still think, as lousy as putting ads on videos sounds, having them be completely humorless and yanking them down and tattling to Google until the accounts are pulled down is entirely worse. More studios should try ad revenue instead of pulling clips down.

That's absolutely great news. I applaud MMCH for bringing back Mickey and Co, not to mention more obscure characters like Ludwig VonDrake, Super Goof, Pete, and even Clarabelle Cow, but I shudder at the Dora the Explorer tone of the show. It does not need it, it didn't need it, why couldn't it...

Any Will Ferrell movie that is Elf. Eh, Bob Newhart was alright in it.

Cutting repeats and editing those episodes to avoid too many copy episodes would be even worse, considering the massive amount of man hours it would take to sort through every single episode. Think of it this way. Even if we had the current 26 episode seasons on DVD, it would cost an ever...

Cars 2 didn't sell as much merchandise as they thought it would. And yet, they still push it very hard. They want it to be their boys franchise above all else (YES! Even Marvel, which people like a lot more anyway). But then again, boys like cars. They did sell out for weeks, months even...

Weird thing is, this Muppet movie actually looks to be a direct sequel off the last film. The first time that's ever happened. Of course, said last movie took the first three films into canon (partially as the fact they were films), which is a rare example of Muppet continuity... even though...

But Back to Little Debbie. Their knockoff Hostess food kinda sucks, but I'm more interested in their original snack cakes. When they were 25 cents a package, I used to have to eat them for a 50 cent lunch in college from time to time. I'd much rather eat their Fudge Rounds and Star Crunch...

Hopefully the August release date will prove history right, and this film will fall hard. I'm really rooting for the Smurfs to completely mow over that competition. Worst case scenario if Smurfs does well, there's a third movie, but Papercutz will continue to reprint the original Belgian...

I'd say the humor was pretty much on par with the first film. It was certainly funnier than the last film (they really didn't give Craig Ferguson much to do there). But I tell you, it's one of those prequels were everything looks bigger, shinier and better than the predecessor that takes place...

Generic food tends to vary. I once had a very good Lucky Charms knockoff that tasted better than the actual thing. Then I once had generic Frosted Flakes which tasted freaking awfully vial. Like they were made out of some terrible sugar substitute and they used too much of it. I think I...
