Counterpoint Review: The New Peanuts Movie Is As Bad As Peanuts

Hold tight, this is going to hurt.

By now you already know that The Peanuts Movie is in theaters.  You may have seen it, probably with children (either your own or surrounded by them).  Maybe you’ve even read Jenny’s review of the film filled with, at rough count, eighty bajillion frame grabs from the movie.  I’m here to set the record straight about The Peanuts Movie and Peanuts in general.

Ready?  Good.

Peanuts sucks.  More after the break, if you need it.

Review: The New Peanuts Movie Is Simply Delightful

No matter if you’re 5 or 55, you’ve probably been affected by Peanuts cartoon artist,  Charles Schulz. Peanuts made its first appearance on October 2, 1950, in seven newspapers. The weekly Sunday-page debuted on January 6, 1952 and ran for 50 years!

Since that time we’ve grown to love Peanuts classics like It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Christmas, as well as a number of other films starring Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Franklin, and the rest of the Peanuts gang. And as of November 6, 2015 the Schulz legacy continues with its debut of the new Peanuts Movie. And what a delightful and wonderful movie it is.

If Cartoon Characters Were Real People

I’ve seen a few of these before.  Might have even posted some in the Funnies.  But never before have I seen a collection of so many of these real world cartoon characters.  Some are amazing.  Some are bizarre.  Some will haunt your dreams.

What Movies Could Sneak Into 2015’s Top Ten Grossing Films? (or “How Bad is Ryan’s B.O.?”)

In a January article by Gabbing Geek’s own Ryan Garcia, he predicted the 2015 Top Ten Grossing films (domestic).  Rule of thumb says that to crack the top ten,  a film will need to surpass $200M+. Some of Ryan’s picks were right.  Some were wrong.    Where will we wind up and what could spoil Ryan’s top ten list?
