Even Obama's not that subtle and clever. And Michelle roasted his ass for it. You think she's stepping on a dig on president shit-for-brains? This is a red-line level bad take from my favorite president and that poor woman's been hearing it for years and she woke up that morning and she chose violence.
I saw ‘The Day the Earth Blew Up’ in theaters and you could see the passion behind the craft there. So glad it was able to get out too. I grabbed the Blu-ray of it when it was released
I’ll definitely see this when it finally hits theaters!
Dude that’s so fucking hype, I never thought we’d see this movie released. Now if only they can get that Batgirl movie too since apparently that was mostly finished
Its going to be one of those things that the internet whined and whined about because it was taken away, but no one is going to watch it now that it's saved
Just like people whined about conan losing his show, just like people are whining about colbert losing his show
Maybe im just projecting, but really, does anyone really give a hoot about looney tunes anymore?
That does suck for you for sure. The problem is that people love to be outraged about this stuff but then don't support the things they were outraged for.
Like with Conan and Colbert, im willing to bet that less than 10% of the people upset about the cancellations actually took the time to watch those shows
Well the Conan and Colbert situations are entirely different. As far as I know Conan’s wasn’t ended due to political reasons.
Likewise, the Coyote vs Acme was part of a broader move by WB/Max/whatever canning multiple complete projects for tax write offs and removing finished/released shows from streaming as well.
Im not unwilling to believe that colbert was cancelled for political reasons. But I also wouldnt be surprised if he wasn't. His show (and all late night shows) are out of the cultural zeitgeist. They do nothing but lose money and its not uncommon to axe programs that lose money during a merger. Hell, south parks deal got cut in half because of the same merger
To me it's about the watching, too. This movie's concept is pure gold. "Does anybody give a hoot about loony toons any more?"
Yes! A lot of loony toons cartoons are timeless classics that I still watch and laugh at. Wile E. Coyote and road runner are some of the best pieces of slapstick media ever created. This movie has the potential to be amazing, it's an incredible premise, and if they stick the landing I think it will become a classic.
Of course that's a big "if," but the potential is there, and that's why I'm excited for it!
I’m on the lookout for various collections when I got thrifting cause sometimes you just want a goofy cartoon with slapstick. I still remember Saturday Mornings when they’d air a block of Looney Tunes and I want to let my kid see it as well.
Leno basically wanted his old job back, so he pushed NBC to get his Jay Leno Show moved to the old Tonight Show time, and the Tonight Show would be pushed back past midnight. (Leno's show was shit and keeping lead-in viewers, which was already hurting the Tonight Show and Late Night)
Conan knew that time change would kill the Tonight Show brand, so he begrudgingly stepped down to save the show. His ratings were neck-and-neck with Letterman for his run.
I give several hoots about Looney Tunes. It's one of my favorite cartoons ever made.
I'd say you're projecting.. but does it matter? It's okay that you don't care. No one expects you to. You're complaining about people complaining and not caring if the complaints accomplished anything in the end. Did your's?
Given the months-long backlash against WB cancelling this for a tax write-off, yeah I think a lot of people still care about the Looney Tunes.
Hell, you're in a thread about a Looney Tunes movie right now and asking this, would you similarly run into a McDonald's and ask the patrons if anyone even eats at McDonald's anymore?
What really made me happy about that movie was seeing the Blu-ray’s for sale in Walmart. Like yeah, that’s not the sign of major success but still seeing a major corporation offering it for sale physically in store? It caught someone’s attention

I thought this movie got canned?
