Toadofsky

Har har har. Burn taken. I expect alot of cgi Nekofrog, as long as they don't go crazy with it, and treat it like they did LOTR (aka a mix of cgi and traditional sets, animatronics, etc), I'd think that to be good. If they really do a lot on cgi, fine, no big deal. Too bad Guillermo del Torro and Peter Jackson are busy making the Hobbit right now, they'd be perfect for this kind of movie. As far as the song being done by some pop artist, as long as it's someone good, I have no qualms with it. And yes, the soundtrack is excellent, I'm listening to it right now. Who knew the swamps of sadness had guitars in it? Or guitar in the music in general? I sure never did. I'd hope they'd retain some of it's memorable songs (aka Bastian's flight definitely), but I doubt it. Just as long as it's still done well, I'm okay with that. I'd hope for Falkor to be a blend of cgi and animatronic, but that might be hoping for too much. I swear, Gmork used to give me nightmares as a kid, those beady green eyes made me afraid of the dark, and every time I've thought of him while walking in the dark still creeps me out. I don't expect a change in that at all. I wish the old guy who plays the scientist was still alive, I loved that guy... "To the winch, WENCH!" "He made it! He made it!!!" (Geekspasm, sorry) I'd like to see if Cairon (aka that Black guy that sent was addressing everyone at the Ivory Tower) is actually a centaur in this one, or Atreyu actually having green skin, as it was in the book. Hmm, Megan Fox as the childlike emp....nah, she's too old... dang.

Okay, Hollywood, is officially out of ideas, at least that's what it seems to me. I originally saw this on FoxNews.com, but I'd would prefer to link this to another site with this news... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3iaeb1c24de37000ac9d6ab15e86a4f615 According to the report, the original producer of the first film is attached to it, as well as others (don't know if they were involved), are wanting to explore the more nuanced details from the book that ultimately were overlooked from the original film. Honestly, I know 80's purists are going to/are pissed about this. But me honestly, I'm curious how they'll pull it off. They can at least introduce the film to a new generation, which is what this is going to do. I wouldn't mind seeing them do this, I was starting to wonder when they'd do it. Originally, the writer of the book (Michael Ende) actually tried to sue Wolfgang Peterson (director) of the original film for straying too far from the source (he didn't win). But maybe this remake will be able to follow the book a little closer. I've read the book, but I have to say, if they do a sequel, I really wouldn't want them to get into the bizarre stuff that goes on with Bastian when he's in the book's world (I'm not going to elaborate). All I ask is two things from this film, Klaus Doldinger's music during the flights be in there, and the song from Limahl be in it.

While I can agree that Titan was NOT Bluth's strongest film, I don't necessarily cold. Yet, you could tell where some scenes they cut corners, especially in the c.g. work. It wasn't done well in some of the scenes. But then again, with some of the content in Anastasia, and All Dogs, he did chart some dark territory.

True, but I think that he didn't always make the best choices in films (Pebble and The Penguin anyone?). I think the best he did was Dragon's Lair 1 and 2, Space Ace, Secret of Nihm, Land Before Time, Anastasia, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and Titan. Shame that most of those weren't successes.

Don Bluth is one of my favorites as well, but he just could barely ever get a break. I don't recall his movies except a small few being successful. But that's not to say I never enjoyed him movies. Secret of Nihm was much better than the book itself. I have Titan, and it's good as well.

Lol Nekofrog... How could anyone forget this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NhpgCDTOGI (I'm referring to the point at the 50 second mark)...

Actually, John Lasseter had a hand in helping with Bolt, still, it's a good movie from what I've heard. And I do know they're making Shrek 4 and 5, I've heard someone say Mike Myers wouldn't be interested in doing it unless it had a good story, so I've heard. But I won't be seeing either of them. Shrek 2 was okay, but it didn't have much going for it besides the tiring cliché of newlyweds fighting (that is one cliché I'm so sick of) And Shrek the Third felt like it was trying to clutch on to any ideas they could possibly find to make a buck. SPOILER ALERT.....Like it really matters with this movie... Merlin was not that funny and a waste of the guy from Monte Python's talent, oh, Donkey and Puss switch bodies ooh "funny", and I actually was a little offended by that whole king dying with the James Bond song "Live and et Die" playing in the background.

Man, 2 votes? And I know one of those was mine...

You know, I didn't even think about Gray Lighting for the longest time... I also wonder what happened to Evilhead, Cuddly Pyramid Head, and Firedrake,though someone said Firedrake was banned, doesn't suprise me the way he acted like he was better than others on the forums. And whatever happened to SR-388? She disappeared too. Jeez, so many people that have vanished.

See that's how I felt about it. The story didn't really have a necessity or a whole lot to bank on being able to fit songs into it. They could have, but it would have interfered with the storyline. They had a great cast for it, and they had great writers for it. The part with the "shoulder angels" is still funny to me. And I did enjoy the look of the characters. It was kind of like a mix of Aladdin and Hercules (though it is the Mayan era in that film)... I've actually wanted to see Enchanted Darkesword, I've heard it's basically Disney making fun of themselves. Which sounds pretty interesting.

I guess I sound like I'm against animated films with songs in them, I'm not, and since Disney hasn't really released a hand drawn film in quite sometime, it's a welcome breath of fresh air. I'm getting tired of CG films, or animes that are completely done in CG (I hated Appleseed Ex Machina, just my opinion, sorry). I don't hate them, but so many companies try to bank on doing it, thinking that as long as it involves CG, it'll sell. Some of those said films tanked, and rightfully so. Funny, I recall Brad Bird's interview before The Incredibles came out (he directed The Incredibles, and helped finish Ratatouille, he also made the great film The Iron Giant), and firmly believed that that would happen. The only companies that have done CG right, at least for me, is Pixar, like two Dreamworks films, Blue Sky (Robots, Ice Age 1,2,3), and the company that did Surf's Up (I've heard Disney's Bolt was good, but I haven't seen it, yet). Dreamworks did perfect with the first Shrek, no question, but fell flat in my opinion on the two sequels. And most of the other films they've done, I could care less about, not to mention taking Pixar's idea's (Sharktale, Antz, anyone?). In regards to Disney, the last good film I saw that was hand drawn of theirs was The Emperor's New Groove. Sure, it didn't have the Disney song and dance staple, but it had the classic humor of the old films, ala stupid evil sidekick. I certainly hope they have those kind of staples in this new movie.

Okay, so I've never really been into musical numbers in animated films, with a few exceptions, The Sword in the Stone, Aladdin, Robin Hood, you get the idea. But after every film company saw the money Pixar was making from their early films, they all ditched hand drawn films. That's not to say that hand drawn films were bad (a good deal of them weren't that good), but where the money flows, people follow. I was actually saddened when I heard that Disney was ditching hand drawn animation (especially when they though Pixar would be independent from them), in favor of CG. Well, I don't know if this is old news or not, but check it out... http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/princessandthefrog/ There's bound to be songs in this film from the description, and tough I still cringe at that cliché, I'm actually glad to see them doing this.

Okay, I've searched high and low for the image coding on my firefox, and I can't find it. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, if there's anyway to change that header, please let me know...

Sweet moolah! This is ten times better than before! So how do I go about changing the header? I don't know how to access and change the coding for Mozilla like that... Pathetic, I know.

You ought to see the real legend 3 on newgrounds.... Makes fun of Ocarina of Time, but in a good way.

Wow, I had no idea there was a Contra 4 remix album. Great job guys! And holy cow, excellent playing!

I hope I'm somewhere on the placement... Though I'm not holding my breath, but, oh well.

Honestly, if they wanted to do what they did in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, they should have separate teams handle each characters part. Each team with the most experience in what sort of gameplay each character would have, be it Sonic on speed stages, Tails on run n gun/platforming, etc, etc. I think it would be a better experience and game overall. Xzero, you may be on to something there. Maybe they'd do like the high res paintings I've been seeing on Deviantart of Sonic... And why not try culling stories from the Sonic comics? I've read some of the new ones now and again, and they've improved, though I still miss Spazz and Harvo's awesome artwork back in the day...

I'll be watching it at my sister's house tomorrow night. But honestly, I quit watching after seeing some of season 3. I watched both Season 1 and 2 from start to finis. I just couldn't get into it after season 1 and 2. This sounds dumb, but I hated it when they started killing off some of the characters. I really liked a few of them, even though they weren't major characters. And some, it wasn't even necessary to have them in at all, so why did they waste the time? (I know I'm being vague on who, but that's how I'm keeping it). As far as this new season, I really don't know, I feel like there's still no direction, or the writers are doing things just so they can explain things, but to me, it's just so far out of left field then it originally was. I will finish watching the show when it ends, but, honestly, the direction of it really messed it up, for me at least. Maybe it'll get better as it goes, and finish up good. But I can't shake the feeling it's going to end in disappointment. But Fringe on the other hand, is getting better and better for me. And what's not to like when you have the Steward of Gondor playing a mental scientist?

Agreed. The last image is my desktop image. I remember the dreamcast well. And how I never got to get one. Some day, when I find one that works, him and my Nintendo Wii will be reunited. And maybe I'll get an Original XBOX, so I can still play Oddworld Stranger's Wrath and Outrun 2, and Shenmue 2.

I'd hate to see a complete elimination of sigs.

I'll be glad to see the ridiculous fanboyism on the review scores die down.

This is Snake... Colonel, can you hear me? I've hijacked Toadofsky's handle. !!! <gunshots> "Snake? What Happened?! Snake! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!"

Chrono was good, I liked the Zombies one as well, Parasite Eve was good too.
