Eye Candy #335 - "Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Movie for Theaters"

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Movie for Theaters:  I'm a big fan of ATHF, and even I have no idea why the producers of this film thought it would be a good idea to create a full length animated film to be released to theaters based on the property. The plot is absolutely nonsensical, with absolutely NO exposition for those that have no idea what ATHF is, is it any real wonder that people stayed away from this film like dog doo on the sidewalk? If you are already on the outside, looking in on ATHF, you're going to be even more so by the end of the film. Sorry. Hey, Cartoon Network! "Direct to DVD", ever heard of it? It would have been cheaper, and you would still have sold however many copies you've sold regardless. We get another chapter in the continuing adventures of inaction heroes Master Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, and their neighbor/landlord Carl, as well as appearances from many of the "villains" from season's past as we learn the history of Frylock and a giant exercise machine goes crazy and threatens all civilization. Yes. I just said "giant exercise machine". No, no, it doesn't get any more coherent than that. If that doesn't grab you, then no, the movie is most definitely Not-For-You. However, I rented it, bought it, and still enjoy watching it because it does fit fairly well into the whole ATHF 'mythos' (and I use that word extremely loosely). Woodchuck sez, "For fans only. All others will think ATHF fans need our heads checked. And perhaps they're right."
