    Alcon Garfield Movie - News and Discussion Thread

    Interesting that other than the obvious three these are all (to my knowledge) new characters rather than Nermal, Arlene etc. Perhaps they're saving them for a sequel? Although Liz is in the trailers but not on the posters, so maybe not. Still, I'm calling it; Nermal teaser in the mid-credits scene.

    Media From the 2010s You Already Find Dated

    That made me feel like a grumpy old man at the time. I was 23.

    Unconventional or unpopular opinions you have (re: animation)

    I think Krusty is a great character in small doses, but he's such an alternately tragic and bitter/unpleasant character that I don't really enjoy full episodes dedicated to him. Even the Golden Age Krusty-centric episodes aren't among my favourites. Trying to think of any exceptions but I don't...

    Futurama: 25th Anniversary

    Not sure it fully "clicked" for me until Season 2, or perhaps A Flight to Remember.

    Unpopular Opinions - Video Game Edition

    Carrying on from some of the comments on the NES TMNT and Mega Man games in the Entertainment Board Thread, I think the Angry Video Game Nerd and others since, intentionally or not, over popularised the over simplified idea that "Difficult=Bad", especially as it pertains to 8 and 16 bit games...

    Unpopular Opinions

    I like both films quite a bit, for some similar and some different reasons. I like both more than the 1978 Superman, which I find a little lacklustre. If anyone wants me to go into details on that, I can, but not for a few days (I'm out of town, and not in a position to do longish posts). And if...

    A lot of American celebrities appeared in Japanese commercials, what about voice actors on-screen?

    I think the answer is probably still "no", but I did find Maurice LaMarche in a US advert for a Japanese product (Fujifilm VHS)

    A lot of American celebrities appeared in Japanese commercials, what about voice actors on-screen?

    Not that I've ever heard of. Bear in mind that Stallone, Murphy et al would have been very recognisable to Japanese audiences, even if most audiences there would have seen their movies dubbed. Conversely most or all audiences there would have seen the shows these voice actors were famous for...

    March, 2024--What Did You Buy This Month: Live-Action DVD/Blu-Ray/4K

    Brotherhood of the Wolf 2-disc edition DVD for £1. Sounded intriguing and seemed worth a shot for the price.

    While I appreciate this was posted in good spirits and intended to be helpful, please note that posts like this do constitute "backseat modding".

    "The Bad Guys 2" Pre-Release News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Summer release this time, so I guess they're pretty confident.

    Licensed Games You're Surprised Were Never Made

    Come to think of it I'm surprised there was never a Smallville game, seems like exactly the kind of thing that would have had an OG XBox tie-in. It's also surprising the 2002 film xXx only got a GBA game, considering it panders pretty hard to the teenage gamer audience (the main character pulls...

    March, 2024--What Did You Buy/Get This Month: video Games

    Little Big Planet 3 for £4 from a Car Boot Sale/Flea Market (my local one operating for the first time this year yesterday) Pretty pleased as it was the only one of the original (pre-Sackboy) games I didn't have (baring the Vita game). I don't think the PS3 version is "rare" exactly (I don't...

    TZ/AS 2024 Battle of the Brackets- Earssentials Conference Round 2

    Nightmare Before Christmas

    Turbo Teen and cartoon that gave most kids nightmares. What happens if Ranma ½ and David Cronenberg somehow made a happy little Cartoon.

    Personally cannot imagine being scared or traumatised by this. Can only imagine finding it either hilarious, awesome or some kind of mixture of the two.
