  • Hey, just noticed the Ace Ventura cartoon is on Amazon Prime! Bad news: It's cropped to widescreen so it's all zoomed in and cramped. Plus... it looks DVNR/scrubbed to heck and back?

    Not on the UK site un(?)fortunately

    Wild to think there were three cartoons based on 1994 Jim Carey movies on TV at the same time. At the time I much preferred the Mask cartoon, but in retrospect the AV cartoon had a much more appealing art style
    Hey, a Fandom user notified me that version "B" (not "A") of "Dangerous" by Mladen Franko was actually used in the Action League NOW! segment of "KaBlam!", and I was wondering if you are able to make a quick edit to your first post, unless you are not able to do that anymore, except with recent posts. And don't worry, I did verify this myself watching every ALN episode that has it.
    I'm a little late to this news, but this is not something I wanted to hear:
    Hoping George has a full recovery!
    Something that's bugged me for a while: Who voiced Kim Possible in the intro sequence? That's definitely not Christy Carlson Romano saying "So what's the sitch?" Too deep voiced to be her.

    The theme song was performed by Christina Milian, who's a few years older than Christy Carlson Romano (she was born in 1981 while Christy was born in 1984). Maybe she also spoke for Kim in the intro.

    I know I'm late to the party on this, but X-Men's intro sequence is butchered on Disney+. Due to reducing the framerate in order to prevent epilepsy, it makes the AKOM animation look worse than it actually was. In reality, the intro was the best animation in the whole show.
    So one of the reasons I got a Paramount+ subscription was to continue TMNT 2012. But I looked at it yesterday and they only have the first season. Which is also on Netflix. What? Unlike Netflix, Paramount owns TMNT 2012 so I don't understand why the whole thing isn't on there. Grrrr.

    Netflix only have first season for TMNT 2012.

    I don't know why but it was on Hulu in the past, but good thing, I bought all seasons of TMNT 2012 on iTunes when it was on sale few years ago.

    Season two is scheduled to be added on Oct. 19.

    Oh! I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up.
    I'm almost 100% certain I heard Scott Menville's voice in Eagle Eye, during the scene when the main characters go into Circuit City. His voice is heard on a Circuit City ad playing in the background.

    Couldn't find his name in the credits :/

    Yeah, if he did that voice (and again, it REALLY sounds like him) he was uncredited. I've heard an uncredited Cam Clarke in Walker, Texas Ranger too.
    People are surprised when I tell them I've hardly seen any of the Marvel movies. I guess they assume that everybody sees all of them by default. I've seen Spider-Man 1-3, X-Men 1-3, Black Panther, Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, and that's it. Maybe someday I'll get caught up via Disney+, but there are so many, so it's pretty daunting.

    Actual conversation I had recently: "I've seen more DC movies than Marvel movies." "What DC movies are there?" So I had to rattle off the big ones (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc), plus the animated DTV line. She was surprised there were that many.

    I've seen...one...Marvel movie. So I guess I win?
    It's amazing how much I relate to Sheldon in the Big Bang episode "The Dead Hooker Juxtaposition". I'm always a nervous wreck whenever someone new moves in next door or upstairs/downstairs (back when I used to live in an apartment)- you don't know if they're going to be loud asses.
    I used to be more into Star Wars than Star Trek. But the older I get, the more I find myself gravitating away from Star Wars in favor of Star Trek. Go figure.

    I've always felt like Star Wars is for kids and Star Trek is for adults.
    Had to shut off another movie before it's finished: Larger Than Life. Didn't laugh once. Gene Siskel, what were you smoking?

    Gene Siskel's skills as a critic have always been shady. There is probably a reason Roger Ebert hated him.

    I mean, there have been times when I agreed with him- this was not one of them. See also Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy.
    Just found out Larry Storch passed away at 99. For those that don't know, he did numerous voices for Looney Tunes shorts after the studio reopened in 1967, including voicing Cool Cat. Not too many LT golden age alum left...

    Oh yeah, I forgot about him.

    Late note, but I have recently thought of someone who did voiceover for Warner Bros. Cartoons (albeit outside LT/MM) who's still alive: Elizabeth MacRae, from The Incredible Mr. Limpet (and later of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. fame).

    Another late note (sorry): I thought of another one, albeit for the Cartoon Special "Norman Normal"- N. Paul Stookey, one of two voice actors for the cartoon. He was a member of Peter, Paul and Mary, who did the namesake song.

    I have never watched a single episode of Transformers. And really not interested in sampling it anytime soon.

    I forgot about Beast Machines. I have seen a few random episodes of it, mainly being intrigued by its CG animation at a time when it wasn't common on TV, but I never quite got into it.

    One of the things that really set Beast Wars and Machines apart from other shows was that they both had legitimate endings at time when almost every other show just stopped.

    Another random thought: bash the episodic cheesiness of the 80's series (I agree it overall didn't age very well), but the 1986 "Transformers: The Movie" is awesome and still better than any of the Michael Bay films.
    You know how TV listings often abbreviate show names to fit in the tiny boxes? I remember one of the funniest ones was when they shortened "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" to "You Afraid?"
    Most re-watched DVDs in my collection? Probably Late Night With Conan O'Brien 10th Anniversary Special and The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. They're perfect comfort food.

    My comfort food is Mystery Science Theater 3000 or reruns of 80's/90's cartoons. But I use the streaming services, not DVDs....
    I tried watching Once Upon a Time in America. I gave up after an hour into its three hour running time. I think that's fair. If a movie isn't doing anything for me in that amount of time, it's probably not going to. Shame too, because I heard good things about the longer version.

    I got about that far (maybe a little further) when I was about 17. I don't think I disliked it, just didn't find it very interesting. I picked in up cheap on DVD a few years ago with the intent of giving it another shot but, er, that hasn't happened yet.

the X ai chatbot Grok was actually named after Dorkus Aurelius' catchphrase "Oh Grok!", whenever his plans go south. This is due to Elon Musk being a huge Planet Sheen fan (which is also what inspired his plans for space travel and housing).
