I was thinking of buying the blu ray set for Avatar: TLA and I found this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=ava...966237810063808

Uh does this seem right to you guys? I'm not the only one that thinks this sounds like a too good to be true type deal, right? Am I misreading the decimal point? Am I gonna wind up with one of my kidneys stolen if I order this?

E: Wait was it just a screening of Interstella?

Just took a look at the program, and Annecy was definitely screening Interstella on Monday.

The confusingly worded tweet meant to say, "Two shorts that I had a leading creative roll premiered tonight. One was in front of a huge film premier, and the other in front of a revival screening of Daft Punk's movie" but in less words because Twitter.

You would have to tell us. Google autolocates sellers based on the user's location, so up in Canada are a bunch of amazon and ebay listings of about $35 and up.

I get a bunch of Euro listings of about 30-35 Euros. I know I bought the bluray ATLA set for about $25 off Amazon during some price drop.

That doesn't seem right though. There's 60 episodes worth of material, AND it's on blu-ray AND didn't it JUST come out? I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen stand alone movies for $30.

In any case, so be it. I shall purchase it!

Is this where we go to talk about Teen Titans Go? It appears the dedicated thread has been archived and not replaced.

Anyway, I wish to register my displeasure across the internet that Robin successfully kissed Wondergirl in The Bergerac. I don't care if she died on her way back to her home planet.

I'm also leary of the addition of Bumblebee to the cast but I trust the writers enough to have faith they can pull it off.

Also thanks so much to TTG for turning me on to Blake Snyder's Save the Cat. That book is changing my life!

“Don’t be an Icarus.”

They don’t actually mention the book by name but Cyborg’s “Golden Fleece” segment references Snyder’s beat sheet and from there it was really easy to find the book.

I feel like after the first few would-be school bombers blew themselves up in their own basements that it would swiftly lose popularity as a medium of mass revenge.

Anyway, RE: Save the Cat in Teen Titans Go, I wasn’t entirely correct earlier. A copyright-safe version of the book called “Rescue the Kitty” is briefly shown.

The big difference between guns and bombs is it's easy to acquire a gun in America but it's hard to acquire a bomb (at least one that'll do any serious damage)

Does anyone know if the original Amphibia intro music is out there somewhere?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn6x33rJYCk

Specifically this one. There's two other current versions, one that is similar to this one and one that has... lyrics and is... bad. But they don't sound like this one. The one that's similar is fine but it doesn't have the same oomph to it that this one has. I'd love an HD version of the one they used for the SDCC trailer

What is up with kids show characters that speak in third person, skipping use of the verb to be? I’m specifically referring to the fuzzlies on Abby Hatcher but it’s not the only show to do this.

I hate when my kids emulate this style of speech, they’ll watch a show like this then ask for milk by saying “Me milky waaahhhh”. When they know perfectly well how to ask nicely. I don’t understand why shows do this, it sucks. They should show characters speaking properly so kids learn to emulate proper speech.

I don't think so, unfortunately.

I don't know if I like this. There aren't really any likable characters. I know it's supposed to be the gimmick of "what if the villains are the protagonists" but that's always a balancing act of making them bad, but not really that bad. If they're jerks or flat-out evil, why am I rooting for them?

I also wasn't really a fan of Courage the Cowardly Dog and this is giving me those vibes with the scared protagonist who is just constantly whimpering or stressed out.

Can someone who is more versed in animating describe what this is because I have the same issue. It's not bad, just something seems off and it makes it kinda not great to look at.

It also seems like we're supposed to take the organization seriously, even though by rights all of them are completely incompetent and the management is terrible, which is the kind of thing I notice.
