    Why is it so rare for a cartoon to exceed 100 episodes?

    That was true back in the day. Nowadays it's a different story since cable channels dominate the market and don't need syndication. The situation now is that these channels don't give shows a chance. If it isn't an immediate hit it's gonna get cancelled right away.

    Weekend Box Office: UPDATE: 'Ass' Kicks 'Dragon'

    I have mixed feelings. On one hand, How to Train Your Dragon is a great movie that deserves a lot of love and I'm glad its finally getting it. On the other hand, Kick-Ass is also a great movie that deserves a lot of love. Fanboys have already embraced it, which is great, but it seems like it's...

    Why Is ABC Family Turning Into The Lifetime Channel?

    No, not really but does anything on TV matter? Is Cartoon Network airing live-action gonna make you lose any sleep? So, whatever, sue me for making an observation.

    "Kick-Ass" Talkback (Spoilers)

    The reason they hook up, which yes was weird, was so Dave would be motivated to quit. Like he said, "you can't be a superhero when you have something to live for." A lot of people didn't. The comic was about superheroes in the real world. The movie wasn't exactly going for that which is why...

    Why Is ABC Family Turning Into The Lifetime Channel?

    I never said it was a problem. I said it was odd. ABC Family targets females, but not with Lifetime Channel movies. That's not their STYLE. So, it is odd. That is all.

    Why Is ABC Family Turning Into The Lifetime Channel?

    Yup. Exactly. That's what ABC Family is these days. For the most part anyway.

    Why Is ABC Family Turning Into The Lifetime Channel?

    True, but CN has always aired a specific type of cartoon. For example, a cartoon like Phineas & Ferb would never air on the channel. And, Disney would never air a cartoon like Adventure Time. Just because ABC Family airs female-targeted programs doesn't mean that they're known for Lifetime style...

    Why Is ABC Family Turning Into The Lifetime Channel?

    ABC Family is a chick channel these days. We know that. However, there's a difference between airing a "hip" show like 10 Things I Hate About You and an after-school special from the `90s. It's like if Cartoon Network decided to air the Care Bears. Wouldn't you be like, "WTF?"

    "Kick-Ass" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Chloe Moretz got great reviews. It was the character of Hit Girl that got a backlash for being too violent.

    Weekend Box Office: (UPDATE) 'Titans' win close victory over 'Date Night'

    Keep in mind that Sin City only grossed $74 million in 2005. So, these type of movies don't usually set the box office on future. I don't know why people were expecting Kick-Ass to pull big numbers. All the hype was coming from fanboys not the general public. This movie is as niche-y as you can get.

    Weekend Box Office: (UPDATE) 'Titans' win close victory over 'Date Night'

    Clash of the Titans was #1 for two weeks. That's why you see it twice. Plus, How to Train Your Dragon opened in March. Where have you heard this mega bad word-of-mouth? Everyone whose seen this movie loves it. The only people complaining are critics who can't handle an 11-year-old girl who...

    Where Are All the Nerds?

    Saturday night, like Sunday afternoon, is very general public attended. That's where you run into most of the annoying moviegoers. Friday nights can go either way since it's teenagers and college kids. So, the best bet is either advance sceening (the best choice, really), Saturday afternoon or...

    "Kick-Ass" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Mark Strong was actually...kinda funny. He was a much bigger badass in Sherlock Holmes. Here, he was mostly playing it for laughs.
