A bunch of people don't like it, but I love "All I Want For Christmas Is You".  Which made me all the sadder when Justin Bieber sang it last night.

Every time I hear that song, I can only think "Christ, Paul, you were a Beatle.  You're better than this."

Kids, don't buy drugs.  Become a pop star and they give them to you for free!

"I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do is bounce bumbles."

Clearly Donner's family is just a cover so that hateful Santa won't suspect that he and Blitzen have been getting it on behind the Workshop for years…

But then we'd just eat the candy early.  Don't you know how Advent Calendars work?

The Oprah scene was in Ocean's 13.  Which, no matter what people say, I still think is a good movie.  12… was pretty bad.

Samuel L. Jackson improves every movie he's in, I've found.  Either because he actually acts, or when he's in shit movies, he overacts, it's just always great to see him around.

I didn't like the Pirates 2 fight, but I did like the scene where everyone watches the Black Pearl get Kraken'd and they mourn Jack Sparrow, thinking that he willfully let himself die.

It's like looking at a picture of the Grand Canyon, saying "that's pretty", then actually going to the Grand Canyon.  Sure, you've seen it, but when you really see it, that's when the awe and emotion hit.

I've always wanted to see what SNL would be like if it were animated.  And also batshit insane. 

Well, how many other iconic Green Lantern villains are there?  Pretty much just SS and Sinestro.  John already killed all the Manhunters, so now after those two, you have to dip into some pretty obscure stuff.

No, but they would spout off some bullshit about how God can't exist because pain and suffering exist, and how some people have it bad (and in Brian/Macfarlane's case, how ugly people could exist).  Granted, this is an actual valid point of view, but the way it's (frequently) phrased oversimplifies the argument.

I have less of a problem with the bad jokes, and more of an issue when the social commentary becomes the "serious" part of the show.  It's not that I think that topics like Iraq, religion, immigration, etc. should be regarded as sacrosanct, but like Kevin said in the review, Family Guy isn't the show for it.  Its

Granted, but B:TAS and JLU pumped out merchandise like crazy, even after their series ended.  The reason the properties you listed get reinvented is to sell toys (especially Transformers).

I thought the end was bittersweet, but mostly sweet.  Batman breaking the 4th wall and telling kids that injustice will always be fought was sweet, and he thanked the viewers for watching his show.  Then he headed off to the giant cast party in the land where all superheroes not on-panel go, like super-Valhalla.

You can still do that.  I mean, Spike pretty much has it on loop, although they show the prequels more than the original series.

This line is guaranteed to be said at least once every day in December by some member of my family or another.  And it never gets old.

A lot of parents (like mine) don't like their kids saying "Hell".  The ol' H-E-double-hockey-sticks isn't kid language.
