I don't think I've ever seen "The Jungle Book", but I still like "Talespin". I feel like it would be weird to watch that movie. The whole time I'd just be thinking things like, "It's weird to see the characters from 'Talespin' naked".

Another great moment in pop culture candy history - The candy convention in "Homer Badman". When Homer eats the super sour ball, the combination of the animation and voice acting makes "I don't know" one of my favourite line readings in that show's history. "See you in hell, Candy Boy!"

You neglected to mention my favourite Marlowe adaptation - 1975's "Farewell, My Lovely", starring Robert Mitchum. It has the classic economical storytelling of a standout '30s or '40s picture with a rawness only possible in the '70s.

"The character resonates more deeply with me than the other comic
superheroes, perhaps because when I discovered him as a child, he seemed
darker and more grown-up than the cheerful Superman."

Not that I don't think there's plenty of good dialogue in Wes Anderson's movies, but I seriously thought he had some of the most memorable lines. And it's mostly because of the delivery. Lines like "Best play ever, man", "Son of a bitch", and "He has a cancer" don't sound very exciting when you read them, but he made

All this positive Jean Arthur talk is cool to see. She's my favourite actress that I've 'discovered' this year while watching old movies. I'd seen her in movies before, but this was the first year where she really stood out to me and I started actively choosing to watch movies based on her being in them.

I thought Worf and Troi was a bad idea (last minute season 7 nonsense) and ultimately just a stalling tactic en route to the inevitable event of Riker and Troi getting back together (this is the only thing that makes "Star Trek: Insurrection" relevant in any way).

I don't see anyone confessing that the wedding made their eyes well up. Am I alone on this or are you people just not willing to admit it, lest you look uncool? I've never been one to have this reaction to weddings (real life or fictional), but this one got to me.

I don't like what he did with "Star Trek" (other than the casting of all the characters except the villain), but I appreciate him admitting to one of his bad choices on it. Now let's have Christopher Nolan apologize for Christian Bale's Batman voice.

I watched "Journey to Italy" recently after Armond White (in typical Armond White fashion) brought it up in his review of "Before Midnight" to basically say "This movie is not as good as some similarly-themed old, obscure movies which I will now name to show off how knowledgeable I am about cinema (the other one he

I swear to God I had an idea like two weeks ago to make a montage of Lydia moments to the tune of that "Lydia" song from the Marx Brothers movie "At the Circus" (1939), which I saw for the first time a few months ago. The song was the best part of the movie.

"Feed the Kitty" is my favourite too (my avatar is from its sequel). I love those two characters so much. It's one of the few Looney Tunes shorts that I find both hilarious and touching. I also love how animators paid tribute to it in "Monsters Inc".

Now he tolls me.

The wedding episode is one of my favourites of the series, but I'm biased because Dax is my favourite character. I know TV wedding episodes tend to be lame (is that why you're dreading it, Zach?), but I hope you'll like this one more than most episodes of that type, just as I do. The Klingon version of a 'bachelor

Well, that ring Buffy and Angel used to wear with the hands, heart, and crown was a traditional Irish ring, so…there's that.

I'm going to assume "Damn the torpedoes" is a reference to "The More, The Merrier" (a 1943 movie I recently saw for the first time and loved) and say 'thank you for that'.

That killed me.

I really didn't like his performance as The Scarecrow at first. For a long time, I always thought of Combs as an infinitely better choice that should have been cast in the role from the beginning. After awhile, I realized that the problem wasn't his performance. It's just that the first Scarecrow episode was so
