https://twitter.com/ChaseMit/status/1625984174309150720 Disney ya gotta stop this. I saw an interesting question on twitter the other day: are kids these days watching (and rewatching over and over) the old animated Lion King or the new live action one

It's not like they own 1-2 special VHSes and get to go to blockbuster maybe once a week. They have near unlimited choices everyday. An they choose to send us to the Cocomelon mines. If the Thundercats gave us a generation of furries, I'm terrified of the dead eyed animation children growing up now will develop their paraphilias around. The rhythmic sound of poorly animated bodies slapping together when a soft jingle starts to play: "Are we there yet?" "Not yet." "Are we there yet?" "Not yet."

The reason I trust the Netflix's own top ten list is because cocomelon is always up there.

My niece literally only has Disney+ so she can watch Frozen 3 times a day for a few months, then Frozen 2. It changes every couple weeks, but its the same thing we all did.

My nieces and I have bonded over the new DuckTales which they're in love with and just the right age to appreciate the differences between it and the original, as well as all the industry injokes they're becoming aware of. They keep rewatching it to the point where they have one-off gag lyrics memorized. It still happens e: as a Disney Family they would be a perfect audience for me to ask about the CGI remakes. I'll be seeing them tomorrow and will do so

The first episode of new season of Picard is not bad. Not a whole lot happens though, so its not clearly indicative of anything really. They did a good job of making me hate the Captain though.

That really sucks  67 feels young for that to happen, but maybe not. My parents are in their early 70s so this kind of poo poo worries me.

You can have relatively normal cognitive function with aphasia, like John Fetterman did/does, so it wasn't necessarily a diagnosis, but combined with the stories about his presence on set it seemed likely it was going that direction.

Yeah I think since it wasn't a symptom of something known to have occurred (like Fetterman's stroke), it was probably widely thought to be the onset of dementia.

You know what? I’m okay with Venture Bros’ glacial production pace. They haven’t hosed anything up yet and I’d much rather see them take 4+ years per season than have it turned into some Rick and Morty bullshit that’s just churned out every year until the end of time.

I think the best part about the production pace was that Hammer and Publick grew up as I grew up. I'm glad the show is more mature now and their perspectives have widened a bit.

I got annoyed with how slow the episodes were coming in after the 2nd season and decided to just say gently caress it and wait until the show was over so I could binge them all. That was before the word "binge" was even used like that. Now I'm in my 40s...

DaveKap posted:I'll never forget "This is Sky! We're gonna have a child!" I’m legitimately shocked they haven’t followed up on that in some fashion. That seems like exactly the type of throw-away gag that would develop into a full-fledged subplot for that show.

The future's inscrutable but VB is established enough as an IP that I have a hard time believing it would stay dead forever, although it may be resurrected twenty years from now with none of the original creators. Just like the OG Johnny Quest!

Big fan of the thread title Still remember when the linked VB S2 opener aired and [as] had a bumper saying the rights to the song cost some ridiculous amount of money to the point where it nearly derailed the whole season's production, and Jackson/Hammer tried like hell to find another song that would fit well enough with all the scenes they'd already storyboarded and conveyed the same vibe but just couldn't find anything, so they had to lobby for their lives to get AS to pony up the money. They finally caved, and here we are. That clip deserves to outlive nearly everything else that era gave us

Matt Nix has a new show in development at Fox, Archie & Pete will have Nix team up with Amy Holden Jones (creator and EP behind Fox show The Resident) for a show about a brash female detective who teams up with a polite and meek male scientist to solve crimes.
