  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

    Oh fug, the Youtube version of the Man of Steel review is 50 minutes. Was that one a two parter or something?

    Maybe he's trying to take a cue from Kyle Kallgren. Who started taking his cues from him and Brad Jones.

    And probably not succeeding.

    My dreams exceed my real life
    The Critic brought over some actors from his failed Demo Reel project and does skits parodying the movie or riffing on features of it, in addition to reviewing it.
    For what it's worth, I think it's a lot more fun than his old stuff.

    ^^ That could be funny, actually, although his sort of comedy has never really been my thing.

    Overall, I just prefer video reviews to be about the thing that they are reviewing rather than the reviewer.

    It is very much about his personality, still. Whether or not you like his schtick is basically what determines how much you like him.

    Yeah, I noticed that in the 8 Crazy Nights review. I dunno, I kinda agree with Vashtar, I like his old, more raw style better

    I know a few TGWTG people who think they might be losing something by getting more polished.
  • I've only seen a few of the new ones but I've enjoyed the ones I've caught

    Cat in the Hat was especially absurd
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Cat In The Hat was just such a travesty as a movie that it achieved a kind of ugly grandeur.

    it was like an Oceano song in movie form

    It had a castration joke.

    In a Cat in the Hat film

    A castration joke
  • I'm honestly surprised I didn't catch how much of an utter failure it was as a film when I was younger.

    Then again, it was 2003.

    I didn't either.

    I'm sure that I loved some awful things when I was younger, but mainly the things I remember finding funny still hold up, or are at least funny on more than one level.

    That one was a personal favorite.

    I also think the Hellevator one was pretty good, considering that it was, like, half skit.

    I have not found even one animated show I liked as a kid that I still find watchable today.

    I got the movie in this bogus 'get free movie deal' that I made my parents sign up for (luckily, I also got Shrek out of the deal). I am sad to say that I loved it. 

    When I was 14 and realized exactly how much it sucked, I put the disk into the microwave as a sacrifice to good taste. And yet we 'still' have a copy of it that arrived from nobody even knows where.

    I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It occurred to me recently why that movie looked so impeccable, even if it was a crap movie otherwise: its director, Bo Welch, is usually a production designer...though he didn't write any of it.

    Funny, people like the aesthetic of it, even though it felt to me like that stuff wasn't supposed to exist in physical form...

    Shrek...that's because Universal distributed DreamWorks SKG's movies on home video back then

    Yeah, if one could take the looks of The Cat and turn it into an animated film you could have something special there as long as it extended the plot in a way that made sense

    That, and if they got a less ogrish Cat
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

    I have not found even one animated show I liked as a kid that I still find watchable today.

    I can think of quite a few, actually. One or two are pretty embarrassing, though.

    Proof Centie was a stupid kid: she liked The Cat in the Hat the first couple times she saw it

    I finally re-watched it a couple years back, and only then did it dawn on me exactly how terrible it is

    Also now I want to re-watch NC's review of it, thanks a lot

    I think Illumination has one in development...so says Wikipedia, at least.

    Do you want to tell us?

    Anyway, when I was a kid, I didn't like shows as much as on-air looks. The 1998-2004 Cartoon Network look is probably my favorite on-air look of all time...the 1998-2002 ABC stuff ranks behind it, and the 1999-2004 Game Show Network look has joined the list as of late, even though it's so much classier than what it surrounded.
  • I really liked CN's 2004-06 crossover city aesthetic, but that might've been the shows involved in it as well.

    Their current CMYK look is also pretty nice, if a bit garish.

    Don't really feel like it, honestly. I don't remember those things well, anyway.

    Oh.

    I've started to hold immense fondness for The Powerpuff Girls. Why oh why did CN have to be dumb enough to chase off Craig and Genndy?
  • Did anything really happen with their relationship with Craig besides Disney's magical money?

    (Genndy was entirely their own fault, however. Stupid Snyder is stupid.)
  • wait, never mind

    It was CN Real and the destruction of the Cartoonstitute

    dammit Snyder

    Semi-random thought of the moment: New files in Microsoft Excel contain three blank spreadsheets by default. I wonder what percentage of Excel files have two extraneous sheets because someone only needed one and couldn't be arsed to delete the other two?

    Gotta be a good number.

    Ah, yes.

    I have mixed feelings about Sony Pictures Animation. I mean, you've got the great stuff like Surf's Up and Cloudy from them, but then there's...

    -shudder-

    the Smurfs...

    Never watched Surf's Up or the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movies, but I intend on doing so...

    I do find myself rooting for SPA a bit because there does seem to be some sort of against-the-odds effort at that place...
