Dead Animals Be Gone!!!

I'm sorry, but I can't deal with it anymore. I won't post what I'm about to discuss here because many people have queasy stomachs. Dead animal photos have been popular on the Internet for a while. It's impossible to find the exact date on when they've begun to pop up on social media networks, such as Facebook, but I can't wait for the date when the photos are eliminated from them all. Going back to FaceBook, with more family members getting connected to each other and with friends, no one wants to see a crushed cat carcass on their News Feed. In fact, rather than worrying so much about loss of stock (even though they're still important), Mr. Zuckerberg, how about you deal with getting rid of these particular images first?!

The Big Balloon Adventure is a BIG Waste

Geez, what a nightmare. After seeing the trailer of this film for the first time, rage and laughter continue to swim around my head. Back in the mid-'90's, the famous purple dinosaur and everyone's favorite beloved furry red monster stirred a mix of reactions in theaters. With Barney's Great Adventure and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, the thought of another TV show for toddlers becoming another theatrical disappointment was, since then, transformed into having animated TV specials that took valuable time from Primetime line-ups on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. With The Oogieloves in The Big Balloon Adventure, there aren't any words to describe how asinine. unneeded and disgusting a film featuring what look like The Doodlebops in their youth is to the eyes of a 23-year old who's seen much, MUCH better attempts to win a young audience. A film with zero advertising on TV from a studio thinking that advertising online to reach across the entire country as the best solution to gain said audience? Was this method passed on from the people who brought us Battlefield America and Women Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day? Using the Internet to spread the word about anything from the latest electronics to the cancellation of Jersey Shore is great, but ads on television help along with already having a built audience than JUST creating one. For instance, if The Oogieloves had a TV show and were well known, a movie featuring the abysmally created children wouldn't have been too bad considering the writers, director and the rest of the staff ready to make the production better than the current episodes on TV. Since they don't have a legacy of the likes of Dora the Explorer or the friendly neighbors on Sesame Street, it's going to be difficult for the studio (s) associated with the picture to make bank especially with regaining the budget that, according to boxofficemojo.com, is $20 million. so far, the film has made only $225,588 after one day of release. There's the possibility of the film making back the rest of its cash at a home where it should have been than being thrown in as a last minute attempt to have families spend what little time they have together this summer before it ends after Labor Day: at the local Dollar Store. It's not good enough to be sold on Wal-Mart's cheap DVD shelves or its bargain bin.
