I’m sick of this “LOL kid’s shows are the shit” fuckery. Act your goddamn age.
seriously fuck you, i’ll watch all the god damn cartoons i want to.
what are 19 year olds supposed to be interested in watching? whale wars?
if i want to watch iCarly, i’ll fucking watch iCarly u bitch
God damn right.
I don’t understand what caused such hostility.
Besides, if you have a problem with me watching Avatar, then we have a problem with each other.
I’ll murder you.
What Alex said.
I’ll just be mature like other people my age and watch the Kardashians I suppose.CARTOONS FO LIFE
i hate this attitude. and i’ve heard similar about video games. the simple fact is that i’m attracted to good ideas and compelling stories. they come in all forms, cartoons, comic books, television, movies, childrens books, novels, and even video games. and their writers rarely limit their work to any one particular age group or demographic. these are usually college educated writers, with various backgrounds, races, genders, cultures, and experiences.
many writers (i currently have in mind Maurice Sendak and Neil Gaiman) have publicly stated in way or another, that they don’t write for children, they just write whatever story they wanted to tell and let the marketing department determine the rest. i feel that for many shows it may even be unfair to label them as ‘kid’s shows’.
a good and/or entertaining story is just that. and, for me at least, labeling anything as a ‘kid show’ is just too damn limiting and small minded.
And then somebody made a comment about its just like a regular earthworm, only bigger. And then i felt incredibly stupid.

So much has been written about those few words at the end that Bob whispers into Charlottes’ ear. We can’t hear them. They seem meaningful for both of them. Coppola said she didn’t know. It wasn’t scripted. Advanced sound engineering has been used to produce a fuzzy enhancement. Harry Caul of The Conversation would be proud of it, but it’s entirely irrelevant. Those words weren’t for our ears. Coppola (1) didn’t write the dialog, (2) didn’t intentionally record the dialogue, and (3) was happy to release the movie that way, so we cannot hear. Why must we know? Do we need closure? This isn’t a closure kind of movie. We get all we need in simply knowing they share a moment private to them, and seeing that it contains something true before they part forever.

the suits fire the creator and showrunner of NBC's Community and don't even officially tell him:
Kids:
A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…
as i read this i felt like i was being kicked in the gut. its not just here. its not just about this show. or just about the entertainment industry. the fact is, the wrong people are running the world. they’re running it based on old laws, and old-fashioned ideals that just don’t make sense anymore.
i just saw a commercial for the new Green Arrow show
looks kinda cool.
BUT. i don’t care. i mean, i enjoyed the Green Arrow character in Smallville, but i’ve had my fill. that was enough.
they’re also remaking the old Beauty and the Beast show. but at least there was a good chunk of time inbetween those. the beast doesn’t look beastie enough for my taste though. he doesn’t look any worse than anyone whose survived an accident or born with some deformity. someone who could easily walk down the street in public. they didn’t really show a clear shot of him. but from what i saw he doesn’t look like a beast that would be in hiding. but, its the CW, and it airs after the Vampire Diaries. so, chances are, this show isn’t for me.
… you know, this actually doesn’t look half bad. Certainly not like a half-baked Sherlock ripoff, like we first assumed.I’m amused that the Lestrade character is “Detective Javier Abreu” since my name is Abreu.
unfortunately i’m at a place where i just don’t care if it looks good or not. i’m tired of everything sherlock. I’m a big fan of the BBC’s Sherlock series. i don’t want or need anything else.
sorry johnny and lucy, i’m a fan of you both but…
i’m looking forward to the finale. i hope they don’t answer any really big questions.
Community
Community.
“Troy and Abed shooting lava!”
Community!
what… what? The Finder was cancelled?! and i had to learn this from the Cleveland show?!
WHAT THE FUCK FOX?!
i thought it was a good show. with great potential to go on for years. just like Bones.
Nine will always be my Doctor.
when question comes up “who’s your doctor?” i will always say its David. for too many reasons to list here. and i love everything that Matt has been doing. but i enjoyed and respect Eccleston a lot. i think he was the perfect choice to reintroduce the series. if it had started with David and with Moffat’s writing, it may not have worked as well. sure, diehard fans would’ve loved it, but it may not’ve hit commercially in the same way. it could have easily gone the same route as something like Firefly. or if anyone else was involved besides those just mentioned, this relaunch could have never gotten off the ground at all.
i think maybe Eccleston thought he was speaking only to children’s audience, true or not he was right to think that. it spoke the new audience and resonated with the kid in all of the old fans who grew up with the series. but when i say he spoke to children’s i don’t mean that he talked down them in any way. as you can see from the quote above, he wanted to teach and inspire. and, as an actor, he brought a weight and a seriousness to the Doctor that was very much needed to balance out the overall tone.
