    Toon Zone Talkback - Details On 'Beavis and Butt-Head'

    I had my doubts about a B&B revival working out because the original show's tone and humor were tied so closely to 90s culture. But that clip was hilarious! It was like those two idiots never left! Bravo for proving me wrong, Mike Judge! :D As much as it pains me to give ratings to the train...

    Amy Winehouse dead at 27

    I agree. The first thing that came to mind when I heard this news was that depressing Brittany Spears episode of South Park. Even though I wasn't a fan, it was clear to me that she had some genuine talent. And I think it's a shame that she never cleaned up and went on to create songs that...

    Boom Comics officially ending Disney comics line

    Wow. This sucks. It also comes as quite a shock since rumor had it that their Disney books (mainly Darkwing) did very well. I've been LOVING what Boom has done with the Disney comics thus far. So it really disappoints me to hear that they're losing the license. Even if Marvel continues them, it...

    TALKBACK - Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated - "Pawn of Shadows" - [7/19]

    So, let me get this straight. Cassidy and the original Mystery Inc left behind their lives, families, and identities because a dude in a spooky suit threatened them? ...Uh, if the old gang was anything like the current gang, wouldn't something like that be a regular occurrence? Scooby and Co...

    TALKBACK - Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated - "The Dragon's Secret" - [5/31]

    I know I'm way late to the party on this one; but I just had to get in my 2 cents... This episode really, REALLY bothered me. And here's why: It should have been a Velma episode. Not a Shaggy episode. Even with the Shaggy/Mai Lee romantic angle tacked on, Mai Lee's actions were more of a...

    "That Guy With the Glasses" Talkback 14 (Warning Strong Language)

    Just finished the Airborne review and....good lord. That movie has officially dethroned Rocket Power as the most insultingly stereotypical depiction of EXXXTREEEME Californians I have ever seen. Doug's jokes in that review were all great, too. The running gag with the nose brace guy was...

    Mycomicshop.com experiences?

    Just out of curiosity, what is so bad about Mile High Comics? I've thought about ordering from them but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Recently, I've been on the look out for good sites to get really old back-issues from. So I'm glad you made this thread about My Comic Shop. I'll definitely...

    Would public libraries be good way to distribute comics?

    I discovered one of my favorite comic books (Strangers in Paradise) via my high school library, so I'm all for comics being distributed in public libraries! :D That's a risk for just about every book the library carries (I remember seeing some pretty gross stuff scribbled in a library...

    "That Guy With the Glasses" Talkback 14 (Warning Strong Language)

    I really wish that all the reviewers who insist on doing self-indulgent, "epic" storylines starring themselves and their friends as badass heroes would put that stuff in separate videos and stop injecting their reviews with it. I LOVE Linkara and The Nostalgia Chick's work; but I find their...

    Blog Talkback: How TV Guide Influenced Your Parents

    WOW! That article takes me back! I actually remember all of those covers! And, even as a kid, I was horrified at how off-model all of those poor cartoon characters looked. :eek: The utter irresponsibility and laziness of a lot of those articles is just astonishing. Thank goodness my parents...

    "Scooby-Doo - Mystery, Inc." News & Discussion Thread

    It may be too late to do this for the first season of Mystery Incorporated; but I really hope that some good female writers are hired to work on this show eventually (if only as consultants). I hate to sound sexist, but I can tell that the writers of this show are all men without even glancing...

    Elderly Man Killed For His Comic Book Collection

    God this story is depressing. This man wanted to do something noble (selling off a collection that undoubtedly meant the world to him so that his family could have financial security), and he ends up losing both the collection and his life. Hopefully, the police have notified all the local...

    Mel Gibson cut from "Hangover 2"

    I heard that the Gibson scene was already filmed and that they were just cutting it out. :shrug: Anyway, while it's true that you can't force stars to work with someone they don't like; it does come across as hypocritical that the same crew who are refusing to work with Gibson (presumably...

    Mel Gibson cut from "Hangover 2"

    Lessons I learned from Hollywood celebrities: Punching your baby mama and calling her dirty names over the phone is evil and unforgivable and will get you shunned by the whole industry. But rape is a-OK! You can even get bonus points and extra Oscars if you choose an underage victim and cram...

    "Scooby-Doo - Mystery, Inc." News & Discussion Thread

    Those Wikipedia summaries have ALWAYS been wrong (no surprise, it is Wikipedia after all). So I wouldn't use that as a source here if I were you. That bugged me, too. In Scooby Doo: Where Are You -which this show is loosely connected to- Shaggy is described as a champion gymnast and a track...
