He has a look on his face that somewhat says "What the hell am I doing here?".
You sick sick person you !
Do I need to pull out DBE pics ?!
Oh and I just saw poof . Looks like shit , but god knows they would make that suck too .
@No:

FOOL! Your DBE is no match for my this:
Teen goku dreamy about girls while in school somehow gets beaten by a kid from a show most people say died long before it ended production ? lol :P
@Badass:
Just making sure you've seen this.
Give him white hair, green contacts, & a black jumpsuit and you got
Danny Phantom.
(sees it…)
Meh. Who cares anymore. It's simple: if it's terrible, it will bomb and we can just ignore it's existence ever again...
Well! There goes another one down the drain.
Thing is unlike with Avatar (Non Cameron) or DBE I can't see any crowds going to see it even out of curiosity .
So this is an idiotic decision right there .
How's it going?
!
@___@ Can you put that in a spoiler tag?
SPOILER TAG DAT SHIT HOMIES
I will never understand this. Why do movie studios always use the "attractive teen idol" for roles meant for awkward, unattractive and unpopular characters?
Because they're good actors? Not that I'm saying Drake Bell is, I don't know him at all, but if he's good I don't see the problem.
There have been other teen idols who played in weird roles that made them the mature stars they are today, allowing them to escape the "child/tween/teen star" syndrome.
Like Johnny Depp.
Who's gonna play the CRIMSON CHIN? :ermm:
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
LOoooooL…. Oh yeah I forgot his suppose to age. XD
@Kairouseki:
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He's got to play jorgevon strangle remember? Their best bet for the crimson chin is nicholas cage.
They can just get the person who voiced the crimson chin to play him-Jay Leno.
God help us all.
@Badass:

Conan O'Brian as the Bronze Kneecap.
This isn't even about nostalgia. The show isn't even 10 years old yet and is still on the air, so how in the world can people say that anything was destroyed when its' just Nick hoaring out a property knowing that any money lost will not matter with their crappy LA shows and their never-ending obsession with Spongebob.
But wouldn't they be able to make more stuff , like more Avatar :legend of Kora , if they didn't waste money on projects they know are gonna bomb ?
…...........hm......don't know if want...
Okay, I actually read the article, now it SLIGHTLY makes more sense:
"The animated series focused on 10-year-old Timmy's refusal to grow up, so he could keep his fairy godparents. In the movie, an older Timmy is still in the fifth grade and living at home, but all that changes when he begins to have feelings for Tootie (Victorious' Daniella Monet), a nerdy girl who has grown into a beautiful woman and returned to town. Timmy must make a choice between his godparents or growing up and being in love."
So he's all (or halfway?) grown up, that explains the casting.. but really, wouldn't the teacher or principal notice if a college-student age guy is still going to elementary school? But I guess that's one of the gags… huh. Or maybe he WISHED to have everyone else think he was still 10.. but that's still weird.
Also given the age gap now they could still totally put Poof in. As a pre-teen. CRAAAAAAAP.
I always assumed he just got left back every year.
@Tokoro:
never-ending obsession with Spongebob.
It's not surprising given how huge SpongeBob is/was. It single-handedly killed Rugrats and with it Klasky-Csupo. The original episodes still hold out too, I'm still entertained by reruns of the old stuff despite having seeing them enough times to numb the brain. Maybe my brain is numb. :ninja:
Given SpongeBob's massive footprint on the network it's hard to imagine a different kind of show coming along and eclipsing it. Avatar was incredibly popular and failed to do it. It was about as different from SpongeBob as Rugrats was.
Avatar was incredibly popular and failed to do it
it was incredibly popular, but just not incredibly marketable.
i refuse to acknowlege the existence of poof

I miss stuff like Rugrats .
I can't imagine what I'd do if they tried doing a LA movie of that , or Ren & Stimpy or even Aaargh real monsters .
God I miss the last one , in my country the station that broadcasted it (and Rugrats , Chris Colorado , The Mask etc. :( ) shut down like six years ago and it didn't broadcast it since like 1998 .
I last saw that when I was eight :sad:
Well to be fair, Rugrats had been going on for about a decade when Spongebob made its debut right? And the spinoff All Grown Up wasn't very good IMO.

Some of the early ones weren't bad and had a lot of funny moments but I thought Spongebob was rather overrated and very hit or miss. The problem is that it's just so popular (even with the crap that keeps going and going) that it's impossible for Nick to replace it with anything. They keep trying and trying but nothing seems to be even close in ratings to the sponge. Fairly Oddparents…is close but that too has been around for a long while and decayed rather far from the originals.
They should cast Justin Bieber as Poof

I didn't realy facepalm at the concept at all .
I did find Tommy with hair , at least on one of the booklets I saw , to look real crappy .
That and Angelica looked fucking horrible .
Anyways could these guys make say a Jumanji flick ? I know this series was based off a movie , but I wonder if they would remake that and use the series' input this time around .
@No:
I miss stuff like Rugrats .
I don't. Rugrats dominated the network in a bad way and kept the audience perpetually juvenile. While I liked the earlier season cartoons, the newer ones were just eye-rolling.
What I do miss is Nick Jr.
I never watched "teen Nick" all that much, once All That! stopped being funny to me the live action shows were almost universally inane and banal. Except Kenan and Kel, but that was the ONE exception.
But I got a kick watching Nick Jr. because it had a higher proportion of cartoons that weren't "nicktoons" and so weren't completely slapstick. Cartoons like Rupert, Little Bear, David the Gnome, Franklin and The Busy World of Richard Scarry were a great contrast to the Tex Avery style stuff seen on CN and in the regular NickToons. This was before Disney Channel and Toon Disney went basic cable (both were premium at the time) and before Pokemon and Toonami came along.
So given the choice, the juvenile Rugrats on the "mature" block and the mature cartoons on the "juvenile" block, I much preferred watching Nick Jr. Though I hated Blue with something fierce. >_<
While SpongeBob acts juvenile, his cartoons aren't nearly as content restrictive as Rugrats were.
All Grown Up! was bad, but it was a last-ditch effort for Klasky-Csupo to stay relevant. KC deliberately didn't make that cartoon earlier because it clearly robs Rugrats of its unique premise and revolves around a gimmick, for people to be "surprised" when comparing the differences between it and Rugrats. KC tried a "teen" show prior to AGU! called As Told By Ginger which failed miserably. They wouldn't have made AGU! if not for already being dealt a deathblow by SpongeBob.

With StarCraft II's release I've been reading up on the CEO of Activision-Blizzard who supposedly spearheaded its development. Curiously, he was the CEO of 4Kids Entertainment before Al Kahn (and before it was called 4Kids Entertainment).
His general philosophy is that, "it's much more profitable to build off of existing franchises rather than to invest in new material" and a lot of people hate him for it, but he seems to be right.
While we of AP's Media subforum, who watch more cartoons than the average person, might decry franchise exploitation as uncreative, it earns the companies involved the most money. The same goes for big blockbusters always relying on the same general formulae, cartoons on TV, manga and video games. This seems to be why rather than invest in a new talent, CN was willing to exhume finished shows (PPG, Dexter, JB) and squeeze new life out of their lifeless corpses.
I think beyond the culture of mind, though, there's also a talent shortage. Or perhaps not a physical "shortage", it's just the people who scout for talent are looking for the wrong things in the right people, or the right things in the wrong people.
Terek , I was gonna mention Ginger the moment you mentioned the teen angle , but you were there before me .
I have both a deeply rooted nostalgic feel for Rugrats and I say the old eps could stil hold up , probably .
AGU was not that good , but it was better then Ginger .
Anything is better the Ginger , it's like those retarded LA teen shows that are not pure comedy (Drake and Josh was it ? I liked that one alot) , except horribly animated .
Then there's Rocket Power . I sure hope they are not gonna chose that next because it was probably the most boring concept of a show I have seen till date . Literaly it was the first show whose entiere content could be summed up as "EXTREEEEEEEEEEEE-gasp-EEEEEEEEEEE-gasp-EEEEEMMMMM…...oh we're out of time" .
It was nothing else then little kids doing a variety of boring sport activities that somehow were suposed to excite us .
Did they select the actor for the role of Vicky?
what about Crocker?
I don't think Vicky and Crocker would be in the movie. Vicky-maybe. She should only be about-what? 29? But she wouldn't really be babysitting Timmy, so her role in the story would be moot.
Wouldn't Crocker be a little too old to still be teaching, though?

Hmmm…I thought Timmy refused to grow up? anyways Yeah Crocker should be around, fairy hunting teachers always stick around till they catch them those FAIRIES!
and He is the Groundskeeper Willie of the FOPverse.
Hmmm…I thought Timmy refused to grow up?
But wouldn't Vicky have quit in favor of an actual job?
But then I look at the pic in the first post…

Oh goodness, you had to remind me of that.
Goes to show you that people bringing back works that were over, canceled, or just faded away isn't automatically a good thing.
@Badass:

You act as if she ever had a skill to do anything other then bully kids .
And even calling that a "skill" is pushing it .
Dude….Nathan Lane as Crocker

In the show vicky displays excellent business management and networking skills. In fact she uses timmy as slave labor in some of her ventures.

Uhm , that's covered by the "bully kids" part of it . :wassat:
I mean I know this city is completely mentaly challenged (seriously what do they put in the water?) but I can't see that as helping her actualy get a job .
@No:
AGU was not that good , but it was better then Ginger.
The only time I thought AGU was good was that one special it had, it didn't really need to be made into a series.
Dude….Nathan Lane as Crocker
…......Maybe.......
I love Nathan Lane, but I wouldn't want to bring him down this low, although he's been pretty low.
This's what Jhonen Vasquez (greator of Invader Zim) had to say, via twitter, I thought it interesting:
Last Airbender now Fairly Oddparents live action movie? I'm kind of glad my show got the boot if this is how success is rewarded!
I'm…not...kidding. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Fairly-Oddparents-Movie-1020888.aspx
Let's cast the hideously ill-conceived INVADER ZIM movie, yeah? I think we can all agree that GIR would have to be played by Tommy Wiseau.
INVADER ZIM movie. Director: WERNER HERZOG.
Awesome. Breaking casting news. @cunch just announced Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Minimoose and Patrick Stewart as BLOATY! BAM!
I would buy ten tickets.
Narrator: Here we observe the Irken species in his natural habitat…
GIR: YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, ZIM!
Curiously, he was the CEO of 4Kids Entertainment before Al Kahn (and before it was called 4Kids Entertainment).
I can't believe I'm only just learning this now.
At least Jhonen is at ease in having a cult hit instead of one of the cash-cows.
