I won’t deny that the pull is there - guilt, certainly, at not fulfilling the wishes of late, lamented, loved ones - but my calling has thus-far been elsewhere. Still, if I ever do take up the clowning business can I hit you up for tips? Your make-up in that selfie is on-point.

Avery gentle reminder that companies are not your friends, and using a progressive persona to sell products is still advertising.

People find this game funny because they play it while drunk.

As a non-drinker, who has endured more “you must be fun at parties” bullshit than I can quantify, I know that right now there’s dozens of people below me making some variation on the “fun at parties” defence of ‘I’m so fucking boring I can only be considered…

HA!

No, not really. Unlike some, I never fancied being a clown.

Given how hard it is to comprehend the subject and meaning in that morass of words above -yeah, this is objectively more entertaining.

Editing for spelling, grammar, and syntax also seems to have been unnecessary.

Loughlin is one of a stable of actresses vaguely recognizable from something current moms may have watched in their youth, including Lacey Chabert (my life-long crush in Lost in Space)...

Hrmm, yeah, my apologies - I did leave ‘having children alter’ out of my original calculation.

But I feel pretty comfortable in saying Itchy and Scratchy is better know these days than Tom and Jerry, much like Foghorn Leghorn is better-known than Beauregard Claghorn, or those early Discworld books that are better…

Yeah, the opening episodes kind of suck - and yet that’s partially what makes the series as a whole so good, as the protagonist gets to go through a serious and meaningful arc. They really do start as a shitty person - and not ‘Hollywood shitty’ wherein they’re a super cool badass who is kind of a jerk, I mean they…

I forgot Angels In The Outfield!

Totally forgot that was also a remake.

And that thinking made sense in the 90s, when the Boomers and the Xers might have dragged their kids to the movies on the basis of name recognition alone - remember My Favourite Martian with Christopher Lloyd? Or - shudder - the Inspector Gadget movie with Matthew Broderick? Or the Lost in Space movie - (which I…

I actually responded to this elsewhere in the thread - the phrasing was inexact, and I should have been clearer in that I meant that given the sort of monetary returns Hollywood desires from movies, the demographic of Tom and Jerry fans is far too small. Tom and Jerry Tales hardly proved a cash cow back in the early…

I mean fair, that’s a little harsh. A better phrasing would be ‘no sizeable demographic worth investing in cares enough for Tom and Jerry to make the risks of investment seem reasonable.”

Yeah, those fifteen people who can wax eloquent about how groundbreaking the animation in sure have passion and knowledge, but that…

Hey, question for people who know anything about make-up (I am utterly ignorant): what, if anything, could this young woman have brought to this make-up company to produce “her own” highlight palette? What, if anything, sets it about from other palettes in that same range of hues or saturations or... whatever it is…

While I can respect Rugrats for being one of the only kids shows out there to have prominent Jewish themes, holidays, and ritual it... uh...

... it doesn’t change the fact that it wasn’t very good. Also it’s ugly. It’s really, really ugly.

Barakamon comes immediately to mind. Silver Spoon. Shriobako is marvellous if you’re not the type to get hung-up on animation production jargon: anyone who has ever worked professionally in a creative industry can find reflections of their life in Shirobako. The Twelve Kingdoms if you can accept my assurance that the…

So... don’t wade through them, then. Oh man, someone told me Stranger Things was good but I didn’t want to shift through Fuller House or Bright or Pacific PD - So don’t buddy. Anime isn’t a genre, it is a somewhat vague label for a subclass of visual media. Sounds like this has very little to do with anime and very…

“here’s that thing you liked as a kid!”

1) Nobody likes Tom and Jerry. This is not a deep, nostalgic vein untapped by a negligent Hollywood.
2) Why are we acting like a live-action Sesame Street movie is novel? There’ve been several.

Also, why are we calling it “live-action”? Sesame Street is always live action - unless…
