| 1529 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awww yeah. This is what I'm talkin' 'bout Willis. Sooo much good stuff in this article. I loved about all of these shows, and I agree with every point you make regarding the styles of animation. I pretty much disliked any and all anime growing up. I didn't like the style, as it was too simplistic and crazy looking. Not to mention that dubbing them over made for some really strange interactions between characters. Unlike traditional American animation dialogue, you would have the weird moments where the characters talk over each other, or say things that really make no sense, or don't flow with the conversation. It is funny how now I can tell just by the style of animation, which studio pumped out a particular cartoon. Look at Dennis The Menace and Heathcliff. You could interchange the characters in those shows and nothing about the character design or animation would need to change at all. The same goes for Sunbow and Filmation. Speaking of Filmation... they get no love here!!! Really? C'mon Hoju! The animators of He-Man himself! BraveStarr? Ghostbusters (the non-Bill Murray led team)? Filmation was really good at taking movements from actual film footage and changing them to animation, then reusing those same animations while fitting in different characters. These animated sequences were repetitive, but also very smooth. I loved Filmation's style. Looking back now at cartoons from Sunbow, it's easy to see that some segments were well done, and some were just dreadful. This was especially true of Transformers. There would be times when a character was not colored properly, or missing a mouth or eyes or some other detail. Times when the animation was so choppy it was as though they had run out of frames and needed to cut a few. Yeah, Transformers could be pretty bad looking at times. I never really noticed it as a youngster, but now I can see it doesn't hold up well sometimes. Great breakdown of 80's classics Hoju. I loved this one. | Nov 26, 2014 |  | |
| 1535 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, I miss '88 McDonald's. I want my food served in styrofoam. I my large drink to be the size of a medium (and sometimes small) by today's standards. I want grease, trans fats (okay, maybe not really), shameless marketing to children, McDonaldland characters... I want it all. I'm just wishing I could have brought back some of those flocked Berenstain Bears toys and a few Changeables without causing a paradox in space/time. Work that out, will you good doctor? | Timewarp: McDonald's 1988 | Nov 28, 2014 | |
| 1536 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Hoju - That was something that I was glad Filmation did with He-Man... make his show more than just a half hour advertisement. Mattel probably would have settled for anything as long as they were getting time on tv for their property, but Filmation cared about these characters and took time to delve into their backstories, world history, relationships, struggles, etc. and they did it on a very limited budget and with very limited time. They were expected to pump out 65 episodes a year! How do you do that and still manage to make all those elements work? Ask Filmation, because that's exactly what they did. Mattel didn't place "By the Power of Grayskull" in our vernacular... Filmation did. Filmation made He-Man just as much as Mattel. | 80's Cartoons: An Animated Discussion | Nov 28, 2014 | |
| 1539 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think honorable mentions could be made for The Big Show, King Kong Bundy, Big John Stud, and Earthquake. This is a pretty accurate list I think. I would probably put these guys together in this same order for my own list... though I'd be tempted to put Kane in at third, and move Vader to fourth and Nash to fifth. | Top 5 Best Big Men in Wrestling History | Nov 30, 2014 | |
| 1543 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think it's their limitations that made some of the standouts like Vader impressive. The ones who could, as cbf mentioned, perform acts of balance, agility, etc. really impressed us. And those like Nash and Undertaker made up for theirs with presentation. | Top 5 Best Big Men in Wrestling History | Nov 30, 2014 | |
| 1550 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah. You can't help but love Andre in The Princess Bride. He really brought heart to that movie. I true classic. | Top 5 Best Big Men in Wrestling History | Dec 01, 2014 | |
| 1558 | Article | Vaporman87 | I've got a McDonald's birthday party pic around somewhere. If I find it, I'll post it in this article comments area. ;) | Timewarp: McDonald's 1988 | Dec 01, 2014 | |
| 1559 | Article | Vaporman87 | I love this story. I have a feeling this would make for a really entertaining Christmas movie (more so than any Home Alone movie). Hilarious things about this: -Chef Boyardee and Marshmallows? Ugh man! Of all the crazy things I attempted to mix together for a "treat", I can't ever envision making/eating that. -Mike is a douche. Didn't you always hate it when you were really excited about doing something together with a friend, then when the time came they were like, "Yeah, I'm not doing that." -You went back to "experimenting" with homemade concoctions a SECOND TIME. Seriously? -You still hadn't let off enough steam between the walk from the gas station to home to NOT break something. Was there nothing to break on along the way... that, say, WASN'T owned by your parents? LOL -I want to see the dance video. You know it still exists (but are too afraid to admit it). So you got the Dreamcast. That's an awesome Christmas gift. A very underrated system, that one. Sega's last attempt at a console was actually a redeemer, in my book, for the 32X SegaCD, and gazillion other "add on" systems they had been pumping out. Thanks for this SF! Have a Merry Christmas (but leave the cooking to the adults this year). LOL | Christmas: Alone & Kickin' It | Dec 02, 2014 | |
| 1563 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, everybody wants a piece of Santa. Do they just hate how jolly he is? LOL | Christmas: Alone & Kickin' It | Dec 03, 2014 | |
| 1569 | Article | Vaporman87 | LOL. Who wouldn't want a subscription to Jellies for a bonus? I imagine if I decided to start giving that as a bonus every year, I would be a really popular guy... to think about killing. Great breakdown of Clark's... er, breakdowns. It's that Christmas you remember going so terribly, multiplied by 1,000. Which makes it a must watch every year. :) | 8 Meltdowns That Actually Guided Clark Griswold To His 'Christmas Vacation' | Dec 05, 2014 | |
