Told you I had one last purchase in me- I also got Evil Dead Rise from Prime's sale. My local shop had it used for like $13, this was a way better deal.

Had! I don’t know where it’s located, but it’d definitely be a key part of my Cartoon Network collection if I did. I do recall seeing the cover for the first time and thinking that it was a real TV dinner. I still kind of want to try the Yogi-shaped Jell-O. They should make that at Yogi Bear...

Some characters and series have the ability to last longer than others. I personally thought that Futurama had a satisfying run on Fox and what I’ve seen of its later episodes never excited me, but at the same time, Mike Judge clearly still has the juices flowing for Beavis and Butthead- the...

I didn’t realize the Sailcat episode was airing, I had the Cartoon Medley CD back in the day which had the song from it. Man, that takes me back.

Disney tried that last year, with Strange World. It did just as well as those did back in the day (i.e. not at all).

I've been surprised by how well the new Hunger Games has been doing, as I thought that it was a franchise we've moved on from, but clearly there's still juice here. Don't be surprised if we see another Twilight soon. I had a feeling Napoleon would do alright, Gladiator is one of those movies...

Yogi's First Christmas is a dumb movie, but it's a Christmas tradition that I am not above pulling out almost every winter. Fun stuff. This is one of the most bizarrely horny scenes I can recall in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, but as random as it is, I am here for it.

Should probably wait to talk about any potential Black Friday purchases, but over the past week I've picked up two movies: The Strawberry Blonde- This James Cagney and Olivia de Havilland co-starring rom com made a splash at TCM's Classic Film Festival with a brand new restoration, even...

I haven't hit the Thanksgiving Day parade video yet, but Adventures of Superman is another good episode, albeit one that might require a content warning as Greg Next up for Nick Knacks is F-Troop, which will be interesting as my limited knowledge of the series suggests that it's not a good fit...

Lightyear is fine if you take it for what it is, Pixar's take on a Marvel movie, instead of trying to think of it as the 90's throwback blockbuster it really isn't at all. Personally, I still like it better than Toy Story 4, which wants you to care more about Woody's relationship with the other...

I don't think any one person is responsible for Marvel's recent decline, it really seems that super hero movies have hit their oversaturation point and audiences just aren't as interested anymore. I think the Disney+ series, making so many of them and expecting audiences to keep up with them as...

Louder recently made a list of British bands who never broke it big in the states. There's some good answers here, like Status Quo, whose British working man sound contrasted too much to the American working man style like Springsteen, Seger or Petty, or The Damned, who seemed more interested...

I must be out of the loop, I haven't even heard of this one. But at this point, I'm welcoming ANY new series to Toonami, especially a non-original. Although if previously-blocked series like Demon Slayer were off the no-fly-list, I was hoping for Mob Psycho 100 season 2 first.

I don't think that's fair- I've seen the movie and I like it. This wasn't a blind purchase to me.

Got (probably) one last movie purchase from Best Buy- checked out their early Black Friday sale and got Elemental for $16. I'm not even sure if that was part of the sale, but it's a decent price and I still haven't got around to buying it yet.

I've been doing something similar for a while, doing full watches of Cartoon Network shows on Max before going to sleep, partly focusing on these to give them a boost to remind the higher-ups at Warner that there is still, and will always be a market for animation from the studio. I started off...

Barnes & Noble is definitely active, but aside from their sales, especially the Criterion ones, I don't peruse them often. They charge MSRP for most of their items, which makes them hard to recommend on a daily basis.

I like the idea of Looney Tunes airing on primetime again, but I don't see anything besides CN originals airing on the block unless [adult swim] goes full nostalgia. Warner, MGM, Hanna-Barbera stuff are making their way back to Boomerang and some of them are still on MeTV, so they at least have...

November is of course Barnes & Noble’s Criterion sale month, but I got a title from elsewhere for even cheaper- McCabe & Mrs. Miller for $13. There were some other tempting titles, but my budget is too tight to afford more than one for the time being.

I figured this probably warrants its own thread, and I think given the context of the feature, it can remain on the Warner board despite being live-action. This was announced during the site's blackout, so it makes sense that we didn't have a thread until just now.

It took a while for Toonami to finally try out a sports anime with The Prince of Tennis, although I wish that Slam Dunk had a shot a few years earlier. It may very well be the most iconic Jump series that they never aired, and while the anime didn't get to adapt the last couple of arcs, I think...

Luckily James Cameron has recently worked on a 4K restoration of The Abyss that premiered at Beyond Fest this year. I'm hoping that appears on physical media and streaming, and can also lead to a True Lies restoration.

I think this is it. Recall that Candi Milo is voicing Granny in the series, but she hasn't reprised Sweetie Pie, a role she originated. Tiny Toon Looniversity is a new take with a different continuity than the original Tiny Toon Adventures, with slightly different takes on the Tiny Toons as...

From what I understand, Tiny Toons Looniversity has given Cartoon Network some of its higher ratings in a while, the Looney Tunes Cartoons project has done well enough on Max and CN to justify a feature in the vein of those shorts to release theatrically, we've had a new series of Blu-Ray...

While I'm no fan of Zaslav, I'm not sure that this thread is appropriate. I'm afraid that I need to lock it.

On the contrary, I think the fact that Patrick Stewart's Professor Xavier appeared in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Evan Peters' Quicksilver in WandaVision, and Hugh Jackman is slated to reprise Wolverine in Deadpool 3 suggests that Fox's X-Men franchise isn't quite forgotten...

It's a little sad to see CN already starting to phase out of preschool programming again, but it's also not that surprising. They've gone for such long stretches without having a steady preschool block that it just doesn't seem to fit the channel's DNA, especially with [adult swim]'s increased...

I like Hey Arnold! a good bit, but I think it's somewhat overrated. A lot of fans like to think the show entirely consists of episodes like "Arnold's Christmas" and "Helga on the Couch", which are rarities, and that it's a complex series because sometimes it depicts unhappy families. It's hardly...

I'm not ready to adapt to 4K yet, but I 've been planning to make an exception to add the new Cinderella release, which features a restoration that returns the film to its original colors and luckily also comes with a Blu disc. Saw that Amazon had it down to $15 and decided to finally score it.

Game of Thrones lost me around the fourth season as well, and it felt like the writing had decreased with every season since. It didn’t help that I thought the books peaked during the third one, so they didn’t have a great blueprint to follow around this point. The last season wasn’t very...

I agree with some of your other points, but especially this. It comes off as weirdly aggressive and hostile to state your opinions as "facts and truths", especially on a frequent basis.

I do think you're right here, and this is definitely something you can still see today. Many think that Jay Ward created Underdog because it shared the same animation studio as Rocky and Bullwinkle (I thought this for the longest time myself) while a surprising amount of people think that Tim...

Season orders only seem to be getting shorter, not longer, especially for streaming. I don't see a return to 65 episode orders aside from maybe a bulk series order, like 5 seasons of 13 episodes... and even then, runs are being shortened on streaming nowadays. Companies like Netflix...

That does bug me too, especially because 1- The episode itself turned out pretty good. Even if you're not a fan of The Critic or Jay Sherman, it has a lot to offer, with more than a couple of classic moments. "I said the quiet part out loud" has entered our lexicon for a reason. 2- Groening...

The Simpsons crew has always come off as entitled, especially compared to other animated series. You'll notice this in particular when you listen to a commentary for an Emmy-nominated episode, that they'll come off as flabbergasted that anything else could possibly beat them. Sorry guys, but "A...

If [adult swim]'s NYCC panel gave any indication, don't expect new shows any time soon.

Maybe, although anecdotally speaking, I know far fewer people who have Peacock who have/had (HBO) Max. Can confirm that FNAF was big, this was our busiest weekend since Barbieheimer. Between this, Mario, The Last of Us and maybe also Uncharted, I think video game adaptations are really having...

From what I’ve seen with Taylor’s (I checked out bits and pieces over the weekends) fans do sing and dance along, more often than not they’ll line up to the front of the screen to do so. When I saw Stop Making Sense a few weeks ago, however, I didn’t really see this as much, but the audience I...

Sad, but not surprising. I remember checking Best Buy nearly every week for their new DVD releases and sales, but in the past few years I only ever stop by when I need some kind of electronic and come out routinely disappointed in their collection. I still have some good memories from Best Buy...

^ That’s also true for Robbie Williams’ solo career. Apparently he’s so obscure here that he has two houses in LA that he commutes to in hopes of enjoying some amount of anonymity. At this point, I think he’s better known for being part of a plot point in an episode of Ted Lasso in the US than...
