    Well, it wasn't perfect... but then again, they could have made the Mach 5 a talking car with a Gangsta 'tude (with charmingly stereotypical dialogue written by old, balding white guys) to try and capture an audience of 5 year olds who don't even know about the show, or even care what it is... I...

    Top Film 2008

    Considering I like the TV show, you basically saw an exact representation of the series. The dialogue was never that amazing, and the characters did go on long monologues (I know you're no anime fan, but you'd know that a lot of them have the same type of monologues in basically everything). In...

    Mayhem Mini Figures for sale on eBay

    Off topic, but I don't think Hasbro isn't so much about sculpts as good business sense. They were a company who in 2002 or so was on the verge of crashing, and about to lay off hundreds of workers, but they were able to pull themselves out of the dirt with the Star Wars episode 3 line. And...

    Spongebob Squarepants voice artists

    I wonder... it's been on for 10 years, and it's like, only the 6th season or something? I'm totally confused. I always felt Spongebob was a PeeWee Herman like character... a really goofy manchild who isn't young enough to be a kid, and not quite old enough to be an adult. He's both and...

    Yeah, but we need much, much more of them. The only one I've seen on a frequent basis is the NFL sponsored "Get up and be a Player" PSA. To a much less extent I might see the clumsily added Jungle Book "Bare Necessities of nutrition." I don't see why they don't air the Shrek one more often...

    I already posted that, and I think the responses I got were "Stop whining about the industry and use your college degree to shove yet another indie comic into the already overcrowded market, full of crappy talentless Harvey Pecar (sp?) wannabees." I know what you mean, and I'll probably do that...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I felt that same way too. I just wish that (once again) the movie had been longer so we could see more of that sort of thing happening with him. Though, it is a classic cliche, the character that has feelings against Santa because they didn't get what they wanted as a kid, and then they...

    Lionsgate issues replacement discs for complete series!

    Their attitude for TMNT may not be perfect, but compaired with their attitude towards the Dragon Ball cartoons they got almost a decade ago has been miserable. Funimation has been trying non-stop to get in touch with them so they could buy back the first 13 episodes to release in a similar...

    Sister Act: The Musical

    Yeah... it really doesn't seem to work for me... I mean, a 1960's Motwon score would fit much better. After all, that's the sort of music they used in the actual film. Though I just can't picture anyone but Whoopi in the role.

    It's not so much kids as their lazy parents that expect their kids to raise themselves watching TV. Which, by and by, is why we have this mess to begin with. I still say, where the heck are the likes of Timer, and all them blokes who came in and said not to eat junk food every five seconds...

    RIP Eartha Kitt

    This isn't just depressing, it's purrrrrrrrrrrrrrfectly awful! She will indeed be missed. I somehow remember that she narrated an audio cassette of Rudyard Kipling short stories. She just had an amazing vocal sound, that sounded better with age.

    Your Thoughts: Howard Tubman

    I have to say, I like those sketches... especially the line "I taped it to the small of your back, sir." As an American Muppet fan, I have only seen him as the stereotypical "gay" choreographer, and not the odd, gluttonous, New England turn of the 19th century stereotype that he was meant to...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I see what you mean... Personally, I felt Uma Thurman's character could have been a little more slinky, or at the very least comedically over perky... and I really had problems with the mother too. Especially since the line "You have to watch what you say in front of Crazy Harry" was one of...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    Oh yes... total agreement there (outside of wanting to see Bedtime Stories... Adam Sandler was MUCH better in the 1990's)... I hate how kids all have to be angsty or Miley clones, or in all other words fake grown ups. Even in Horton Hears a Who, they made one of the characters an emo kid for...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Oz is a movie that I'd have to check again on DVD due to the fact that it's supposedly got a better flow or something... but I just can't bring myself to want to buy it (especially since I have so many DVD wants... I still need to get Freakazoid... didn't get it for Christmas like I thought I...

    Oscar's smell

    Or, maybe like how when a plush toy, or a couch, or something furry gets so dirty, it doesn't have much of a smell, but it has so much dirt on it, you sneeze. Of course, he could also smell of mud... he takes a mud bath every day, you know.

    The animator of the first episodes....

    Undoubtedly... though, honestly, they moved forward with the Ninja Turtles much faster. With Ninja Turtles, mind you, they had about 5 episodes... and the Turtles look like they stylistically evolved in those very 5 episodes. And they did borrow a lot of stylization from their shows with...

    Boardinghouse or apartment building?

    I really like the idea of a boarding house, myself... I mean, the Muppets all living in a crowded house, huddled together... it really brings the feeling of that old, broken down theater they work at.\ Of course, I would like the idea of an apartment complex that comes out just the same way...

    Does anyone actually like "A Special Sesame Street Christmas?"

    Thanks... I forgot about that one. In fact, I've only heard of it a few times.

    Oscar's smell

    At the risk of saying "like an old puppet with 40 years of arm sweat" I say that he may smell like trash, but I have a theory that he could easily smell like really, really, really bad cologne... you know the cheap kind that burns your nose when you smell it, no matter how little is put on...
