There was also a format called Super VHS. I only know that because I used it to record all my college film projects, and they're now unwatchable. Which is probably not a bad thing.

My uncle was in the advertising industry during the 80s, and he recommended Betamax over VHS because the picture quality was far better.

Well, some folks mix it up a little by using freeze frames from other cartoons.

B'oh!

"It’s like being from North Korea and finding out there’s a South Korea!"

Furry fun.

Even worse, she called herself Strayed. It was basically a pun thread pre-emptive strike.

BOB's Not Dead

So now we know what happens when a Wookiee breeds with an Ewok.

Operation Trumbo Drop

There is momentum building for it. It's not as long a shot as some people are making out. George Miller is already a past Oscar winner and multiple nominee.

The trouble with these sorts of films is that they tend to feel more like a pastiche of oldey-timey folks and less like a series of events that happened to real people. The Aviator is a perfect example. You're so distracted by the novelty of Cate Blanchett playing Katharine Hepburn, the perfect recreation of Cocoanut…

Here's one for anybody who grew up in England or Australia in the 80s: there was a comedian named Kenny Everett who really enjoyed using giant props on his show.

There was also something pretty horrifying about the slime. I wasn't crazy about that on Nickelodeon either.

Those damn Dutch, with their liberal outlook, delicious food, language that is like an easier version of German but which you never need to learn because they all speak perfect English, and their delightfully picturesque capital! Hate 'em, right?

I am a huge, wear-a-cape-at-a-midnight-book-release type fan, and what bothers me is that this whole project leaves me cold.

Wizards with Attitude

You have to assume that cockney wizards have their own rhyming slang for muggles and squibs, like Mousy Gizzards or something.

For as long as I can remember, I've had a phobia of robots - particularly wrong-side-of-the-uncanny-valley humanoid ones.

You have to admit that it would be kind of awesome if Chuck Barris had been a game show hosting secret CIA assassin who also designed the Batmobile.
