I like to think of it as Magical Realism applied to teen movies...sort of John Hughes meets Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Can't speak about Elvira, but, man, am I glad someone picked "Earth Girls Are Easy." Amazing cast in a cheezeball film with a hilarious musical number or two. Delightful.

It could conceivably have been the reviewer's attempt at a joke. If the writer used the nebulous phrase "in the real world," the reviewer might have been attempting to make her or him aware of the vacuousness of that statement. But like many of the comments, without context, it's difficult to judge.

Nice one.

I'm really feeling pumped up after reading your comment. I feel driven to write more bad puns, but I won't. Instead, I'll go out for a nice dinner at a Michelin restaurant, then curl up by the fire, Stones or Beatles on the stereo, and get some rest.

If you keep Nightwing, but leave out Donna Troy, Aqualad, and Speedy, then you don't really have the mentor-trainee problem. If your lineup for the live-action show is the same as Teen Titans, the only real conflict you have with the cinematic universe is Cyborg. Why not have Nightwing, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy,…

Long ages past, a river thundered through

Yes, and he uses a good, rich medium for expression.

I almost used that one.

I apologize to the individual who replied...I was trying to reply to your reply, and apparently made your reply disappear. I am no Kinja ninja, I fear.

It's nice to see someone who isn't doing the same tired, old art. He's really treading on new ground. I'm not sure from where his genius stems, but it's clear that he sculpts round characters, not flat ones. I think they should have a celebration for him—a real blow-out party—so he keeps plugging away at his unique…

Still the snowman lumbered on, hatless.

Love the concept. I can't help thinking, though, that you should have put Andromeda first.

"You mean I'm NOT the clone?"

After thinking about this a little bit, I now want a Christmas movie in which Santa Claus fends off an attack by aliens with the help of dinosaurs and tribesmen from inside the Hollow Earth. Tell me that wouldn't be an epic plot for Santa Claus Conquers the Martians II!

Sounds good, but I think we should do Heart of Darkness in Space instead...

I think a classic western like The Alamo would make for a beautiful—if pretty depressing—space opera. For Shakespeare, I'd love to see Macbeth adapted on an alien world. The problem is, we tend to want a blow-up-the-Death-Star type ending, and for both of those wonderful stories, you don't really get that. And,…

"I guess," Buren said, "This will have to do."

The ship was named the Miyazaki Maru. For those unfamiliar with it, it was an early simulator in which Japanese animators drew a no-win situation.

Disney wouldn't miss that marketing opportunity. There was a commercial for action figures based on the characters in the special during the show.
