Good Grief, They're Making a Peanuts Movie
« on: March 18, 2014, 05:36:02 pm »
And it's going to Suck! Actually, that clip looks pretty fun, but there's not enough information to make any assumptions on what the movie is going to be like. But seriously, what are the chances it's not going to suck? I hope I'm wrong because I do indeed love Peanuts.

Overcommercializing the Peanuts gang?  Like that would ever happen.

Disney has wisely reintroduced Mickey M-O-U-S-E to younger viewers, with the Clubhouse show and with some new animated shorts in a more modern style. I think that was long overdue, as long as Mickey was still going to be the central character of their theme parks. Starting with my generation, I think a lot of people went "Wait, why do we give a shit about this Mickey character, other than you telling us to?" because they had no attachment to earlier cartoons.

Same deal here. I suspect that younger generations don't understand what's the big deal about Peanuts, and in order to keep their merchandising gravy train going they'd better get kids excited about Snoopy again.

That was definitely an oversight on my part. Thanks for picking up my slack.

I think that Star Wars is a scam on my generation by people who are 40-50 and saw it when they were 10. 

I mean, it's alright if your 10 I guess?

Well yeah, you guys totally got burned by Star Wars. And your children are about to get burned by Peanuts.

By the way, I was 15 when the first Star Wars movie came out and I was probably 16 or possibly 17 before I actually got to see it because it was only showing at one Theater for at least a year so there was always a line out the door. My Dad took me down there twice, but we left both times when we saw the line. Eventually they released it to the rest of the city and I finally got to see it. This was at the dawn of the multiplex era. I saw the Movie at Greenspoint Mall which had an amazing 4 screens.

If you're ten and you've haven't seen all the movies that came after it. It was a moment in history, you know?

The new trailer for the Peanuts movie doesn't suck. In fact there's one scene that really warmed my heart. I know it's a trick to get my hopes up. I'm not going to fall for it Peanuts movie.

Don't fall for it. The trailer always shows the best parts. It's all downhill from there.

I went to see Big Hero Six with the family on Veteran's Day (what?) and at one point before the movie started I felt like I was going to have to shut my eyes, stick my fingers in my ears, and loudly sing "la, la, la, la" with the spoilery 3 minute trailers for upcoming films they were showing.
