Dang, so many Pixar haters up in here.

So for years I've been languishing under the opinion that cartoons today sucked. I grew up in the golden age of Nickelodeon, with shows like Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beavers, etc. Whenever I turn on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon these days all I see is bullshit.

It's funny, I tend to agree with your about growing up during the golden age of cartoons, but I would have listed:

He-Man
Mask
Voltron
Thundercats
DuckTales
Batman TAS
X-Men TAS
Spider-Man TAS
etc...

But when I think of the crap cartoons that were coming out as I was getting out of cartoons, I think of Rugrats, and generally some of the other of that generation.

Funny how those things work, right?

And I know some other users here will think that my list of the "golden age"skews too young.  Just the way that cookie tends to crumble.

I'M ENJOYING A TREAT, DERRICK

Super Mario RPG is the most I've ever spent on a used SNES game, and even then it was only $20. There's a really good used game chain near me called Replay's that has all kinds of great deals (Buy one GBA game, get one free, buy two Xbox (not 360) games, get one free, and each one of their Genesis games are $3...EVERY one of them. )

Also The Iron Giant is one of the best animated movies ever made by anyone, ever.

I am SOOO glad you mentioned The Iron Giant, that is one of the best animated movies ever and it was REAL animation.

I actually didn't like Toy Story 2 or The Incredibles either, though I still love the first Toy Story. I felt Toy Story 3 was ridiculously cliche and sappy. Nemo didn't do much for me either, I kind of enjoyed Monster Inc. though.

Never seen Wall-E, Cars, or any of the others. Wall-E has been the only one that has interested me.

Also, Fink, The Prestige might be my favorite Christopher Nolan movie.

Also, I won't hear a bad word said about Up!, that movie is possibly the best thing Pixar's ever done (apart from the Toy Story trilogy), you titbutts.

I've only seen three movies directed by Brad Bird, but they're all absolute gold as far as I'm concerned (Ratatouille, The Incredibles, The Iron Giant).

Also The Iron Giant is one of the best animated movies ever made by anyone, ever.

One thing I noticed about Sherlock is that the second episode really doesn't have anything to do with the first and last episodes. I'm guessing that since it was "Created by Moffat and Gatiss", and episode one was by Moffat and episode three was by Gatiss, they must have just gone "We can't just have two episodes, oy you, write us another one to stick in between here."

Great series though. I've been a fan of Moffat for years and this show didn't disappoint (he also did Jekyll, which is just as good, if a bit campier at times).

But then, I discovered Adventure Time.

This is the funniest damn cartoon I've seen in YEARS. It might just be my new favorite show.

Trailer for the latest Star trek game.

 

Looks pretty good.

That does look good! Although I was leery at first, I'd say that Abrams reboot has been a wonderful thing, even the games seem better!

Now I just have to get that carpal tunnel surgery so I can enjoy games again.

I am probably way off here, but I can't help but see this thread as being intended to be a bit of a gloat fest. It isn't like anyone who is actually obese is going to want to admit it to everyone, especially when the OP says he assumes probably 60-70% of us are overweight but makes certain to announce he isn't one of them.

Maybe you're onto something though, perhaps it would be nice to know how many of our fellow forum members are less attractive and/or dumber and/or poorer than us. I propose a series of new threads, one for posting our college GPA or to admit we didn't waste time with college, another one where we post our yearly income, and another one where we can post statistics on how frequently each of us gets laid. This could be fun!

I'm poor as shit but I get laid regularly so it's ok.

C3PX's mom doesn't count.

Had to update my list, because lack of Braveheart.

Also you might want to take a look at this.

It's all here if you wanna try though: http://www.youtube.com/user/NannerSplit

(There's lots more still to be uploaded)

I'm actually not sure. I know I've told that story twice, once on Facebook and then again during the livestream, but I'm not sure which one it is. I've been uploading all the livestreams to my youtube channel but there's no way on earth i'd recommend trying to wade through them all. :P

So short answer: Probably, I'm just not sure where it is.

I refuse to let the Politics in this thread detract from the fact that NANNER HATH RETURNED!!!

This is sort of gaming-related, so I thought I'd post this here.

I've been hosting a Let's Play livestream every Friday night for a couple of months now, and according to the viewers TotalBiscuit is kind of a big name in the gamer-nerd community (granted, it's a pretty niche community). So I proceeded to tell them what a huge cunt he was and sent them links to the WoW Radio thread here. Chuckles were had, and I like to think I de-converted a few of his fans that day.

Also, Gump sucked.

Dude, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump all came out in 1994 and you people went with True Lies and Legends of the Fall?
