    Here's an excellent cover of The Great Mighty Poo theme! https://soundcloud.com/kawabounga/bullshit It just may be the best song I have heard from the past 20 years. (This is including Ryan and Daryl Mitiska from Apocalypse Cartoons.)

    Would a 40-year-old African Grey parrot with a foul mouth be a good RPG character?

      I think you're going to run into encumbrance issues. I recommend a barbarian that only quotes Schwarzenegger's *other* movies. "Get to the choppa!"

      Both sound like good ideas.

    Would it be considered cartoon heresy to say that Animaniacs hasn't aged well? Sure, there was Slappy and Pinky and the Brain, but beyond that...

      @jd_1138: same with me. 1940s cartoons held up through time rather well.

      I barely saw it back in the day, but seems hilarious to me :) I Love the old Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies as well !

    I don't know if you guys are into Grave of the Fireflies, Pom Poko, or My Neighbors, The Yamadas, but Isao Takahata just died. I liked The Little Norse Prince despite Toei's meddling.

    It looks like John K has joined the sexual scandal pile. http://www.michaelbarrier.com/#johnk

    As much as I liked watching the original TMNT cartoon ('87-'96), I will admit that it hasn't aged well. Hell, I can see why Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman hated it. The 2003 TMNT, on the other hand, is criminally underrated and is easily the best thing 4Kids has ever done.

      2003 Turtles are definitely better, but I like how the 2012 series "split the difference" between the old and new shows. Baxter Stockman getting chopped to bits in the 4Kids series was a little too intense for me.

    2. MrMaddog

      MrMaddog

      2003 TNMT was the closest you'll ever get to the original comics. '87 version was just a toy commercial...

      I still owe my parents a massive apology for forcing them to endure that part of my childhood. And also to my grandmother, who took me to TMNTII:Secret Of The Ooze when it came out. Yikes.

  7. SlidellMan

    So, are there any other non-Warner/DC cartoons that patterned their styles after B:TAS besides Gargoyles, MK: Defenders of the Realm, and The Big O?

    1. Jess Ragan

      The Magician, kinda sorta? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magician_(French_TV_series)

    Am I the only person here who has heard of RosenKreuzStilette and MegaMari?

      Nope. I have. I never played them but seen them in action.

    I've had this idea in which you take any bad Rob Liefeld drawing and re-drawing it into something actually good. (Don't just limit yourselves to those two Top 40 Worst lists.)

      It's fun drawing in his "style"

    One More Day is still the biggest zit on J Michael Straczynski's Spider-Man run, if not his entire career. Here's Linkara's take:

      Tune your ear to the frequency of despair...And cross-reference by the longitude and latitude of a heart in agony...Ha!

  11. SlidellMan

    Just because I agree with Osamu Tezuka and Bill Scott that 'a good story can save bad animation, but good animation can't save a bad story', doesn't mean it should be used as an excuse. Either 1: People will start to get tired of looking at bad animation; or 2: the stories/jokes/etc. go to shit whether the animation improves or not.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Sounds right...Something tells me you might be thinking of a specific show?

  12. SlidellMan

    If you guys want a good PS Vita/PS4 JRPG, try Exist Archive. It's proof that Tri-Ace hasn't lost it.

  13. SlidellMan

    Man, drying out a service manual that got left out in the rain isn't easy.

    It's been years since I last played it, but I still prefer the Super NES/SFC Star Ocean over the PSP version.

    1. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      Oh yeah, very much so, and I also feel exactly the same way about Tactics Ogre SFC vs PSP.

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I really liked all the little graphical details that none of the sequels had. Come to think of it, I also prefer the SNES/SFC version of Tales of Phantasia over the PS1, GBA, and PSP versions for the same reason.

  15. SlidellMan

    It's a shame that most comedy these days is uninspiring, unfunny, bland, and predictable. Sure, there's Edgar Wright, but despite imposing skills, he isn't the next Robert Altman or Ivan Reitman. Luckily, I'm writing my own comedy movie.

      The funniest comedy I've seen in the last decade certainly wasn't an American movie (Kung Fu Hustle)

  16. SlidellMan

    Am I the only person who noticed that elements from the Mario and Zelda cartoons eventually ended up in the games?

      I've never seen the cartoons...Hmmm That's where I'm at. I'll take your word on it though :)

      Thanks, now to plan on which to get: '67 Dodge Coronet 440 sedan, or a first-generation Chevrolet Monte Carlo with a 305 CI V8?

    I wouldn't mind a fighting game character modeled after Angus Scrimm's Tall Man character. Just imagine the potential if done well.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      That would be pretty cool...I still need to see all Phantasm movies past the first one (I Know...call me Slacker ;)

    2. retrorussell

      retrorussell

      I would like to see an Atari 2600 game of Phantasm. I imagine a chase scene with the Ball might be cool.

    3. atari2600land

      atari2600land

      There is an Atari 2600 game of Phantasm. I think neotokeo did it.

    If there is one thing I like about 3D printing, you can use it to create replacement parts for old cars, TVs, etc.

    1. CPUWIZ

      Yep

      I'm doing a lot of printing these days. I have 4 and another 80% built. I moderate one of the FB printing groups.

      Can ya print me up an Engine? How about a 440? I'll even take a nice 360 ...MOPAR please! ;)

  22. SlidellMan

    The first 78 episodes of The Real Ghostbusters have aged well in terms of writing and characterization. It sucks that ABC and Q5's meddling forced J Michael Straczinski to leave.

      Fun fact: Scott Menville's father was one of the show's writers.

      Slide: He created the holodeck too, for Star Trek The Animated Series.

    4. GoldLeader

      I remember thinking how much I preferred the cartoon to the second movie! I had no idea there were so many episodes. They should have had J. Michael Straczynski write the second movie...I could imagine a Great movie starting with an encounter with the Thing in Faversham's Attic...Maybe have it end up in another dimension, or have them find something like that spinning axis under Manhattan.

  23. SlidellMan

    Would an E-Body Cadillac Eldorado ('67-80) make a good hot rod?

      Not really. Too heavy.

    Dennis the Menace is one of my favorite franchises, but I don't want a revival unless it is competant and funny.

      That kid was a little bastard. You remember the DiC cartoon? Surprised Mr. Wilson didn't eat him.
