I actually don't hate "Eight Crazy Nights", but that might just be the animation enthusiast in me.

I watched Good Night and Good Luck, a film about a series of broadcasts CBS ran during the time of Joseph McCarthy. It was quite good, and quite startling how much the little speech at the beginning (and end, I think - I can't remember) is relevent to today.
I can't remember much else about it other than I liked it. I was tired as hell. My nephew also keeps getting a cartoon up on Youtube called Ed, Edd and Eddy. I now realise where Ridge 3 (I think it was him) got one of his avatars from a while ago. I don't really watch it with him, but I'm impresseed with some of the music from it, actually. I don't know what video he was watching, but I sat for a while while I drank my coffee, and there were some quite beautiful shifts in meter which reminded me of Zappa or Stravinsky in the music. |

It was. And it was beautiful.
|
It is a damn good film. Easily the best of Adam Sandler's career.
|

|
Must have missed it.
|
It only really gained popularity when it was over, but yeah, Ed Edd 'N' Eddy is one of the greatest animated programs of all time.
|
Inspired scum by the millions.

They only really ended the series a few years ago, and I'm pretty sure 900% of Cartoon Network's audience tuned in for that. |
I had read somewhere that dvd sales, and requests for further dvd releases went through the roof after the movie was broadcast, but I do also remember the marathon that ended with the last episode got enormous ratings for Cartoon Network. So, I guess it was pretty popular during it's run too. At any rate, it was great. I want Antonucci to make something new for fuck's sake. He's been quiet for too long.
|
I'd like him to take another crack at an adult cartoon, in the same vein as Lupo The Butcher or The Brothers Grunt.
|
The older E.E. n E seasons were brilliant, but the newest ones (the one which took place at school) didn't really make me laugh. And they rarely aired them anyway
|
See, I think the exact opposite. I think the first few seasons were struggling to find the right tone and audience appeal. The animation and character development was vastly improved in later seasons.
|
I thought they were very good, and felt like it was necessary to move them into the school year for the final season. It prepared them for one last summer adventure (the movie) in which their relationships with the other kids completely changes, making a fitting end to the series.
|
Personally I loved how they moved into the school but still kept the “no adults” rule going. It was absurd but it worked.
|
I especially loved the episode where Double D became the school bully through a series of completely arbitrary and coincidental mishaps.
|
Also
|
Maybe it was the translation. Many jokes could be missed that way. And some of the characters were redubbed by some very very lame voiceactors. I mean it. After (polish) reddubing you e.g. no longer had any idea what Jimmy is saying. Maybe I'll give it a second chance in original version.
|
Yeah, considering that you're only just getting into The Simpsons now, I'm going to take your every opinion regarding animated media with a grain of salt.
|
No problem. By the way, I'm mid-season4 right now
|
Home Movies is 1,000 times better than The Simpsons ever was. You should watch that.
|
Home Movies is fucking hysterical. I can see how it would be somewhat polarizing though, the humor is very dry and clever, and not everyone "gets" that.
|
I watched Flash Gordon... :)
So .... bad... yet so good... Soundtrack is great though. |
:
|
I think she means the movie. The one with the soundtrack by Queen.
|
I thought she meant Flesh Gordon.
|
|
I watched Roughnecks: The Starship Trooper Chronicles.
Pretty good little series, pity it had one of those cliffhanger endings, but I can live with it. |
They made a series too?
Fuck, I've been out of the loop. |
