Just because you can make some popular youtube videos doesn't mean your a director. Maybe I should skip college all together and just keep trying to make videos that get 80 million hits till a company lets me direct something. Who needs an education anymore?

Why not? Same thing happened to unfunny d-bag Andy Samberg. Now he's on Saturday night Lives proving just how painfully unfunny and untalented he is.

If they picked up someone who made a GOOD youtube video, and actually had a sense of humor that didn't steal from a certain indie film, I wouldn't care. I'm hoping that the Box Office from Hot Rod give him the message to stick with his day job.

You know as well as I do that it's one out of every trillion people who post an original video on there will actually have a career at some point. I feel the same way, but we're talking about a website where random idiots with web cams think they're going to be worldwide stars, and people with bad stick figure art think they're making the next Naruto.


Youtube is only good for 3 things. Seeing cartoon theme songs in other languages, watching 1960's commercials, and soft core porn.

Crazy... I've actually been pining for the cartoon on DVD lately. Well, even if this movie turns out to be not-funny-at-all, it won't be worse than the original(s). The 'toon was tight tho'.

I think this movie could work on the principle that they work in the medium of cheese. I've never seen ask a Ninja, myself (I use Youtube to watch old cartoons that no one remembers or cares about), but the principle idea of that sort of thing really shows they have a "Camp" handle on things. I don't think it would be that good, but it could work.

Personally, I also would rather the cartoon series on DVD as well. but I have a sneaky suspicion that Disney holds that copyright as well, and with the exception of throwing the fans a bone and putting The Tick on DVD, I don;t think they'd do such a thing. That is, if Disney owns it. If somehow it's owned by another company (Fox or someone) then it's a possibilty. Maybe at least an episode as a bonus feature on the DVD. Maybe. Personally, I'm still waiting to hear of the Tick season 3 and Eek the Cat.

I'm with both of you I'd rather see the cartoon get released on DVD. As for the Tick season 3 it should be released sometime in August or September. Hopefully, Disney could resolved the issues surrounding the episodes The Tick Vs. The Molemen and Alone Together and release them on the upcoming DVD.

You're a miserable human being. You have a way of turning any thread negative. You must be the person no one wants to talk to at parties cuz you're just gonna start bitchin' about random things.

UH, reread the OTHER posts here, Spitfire's was a LOT more nagative than mine, Kay? If you reread mine CAREFULLY, I was actually DEFENDING the idea, not bitching about it.
