The only things that Brave has in common with "boring generic Disney princess" stories are:

I could never get past the second part of the Nightmare Land level in the Little Nemo game. I never even found out what the Nightmare King looked like! :(

"It's the worst possible situation: they pretend it's a thing for five weeks … and then it all fades away when they're tired of dealing with it."

Generally speaking, the individual episodes are only as good as the guests they bring on. I Know Who Killed Me, 88 Minutes, and Birdemic are great because Ken Marino, Pete Holmes, and Weird Al are pretty funny and mesh well with the regulars. Wild Wild West sucked because it was just 45 minutes of Kevin Smith…

I always thought the Zane cameo was like the Thomas Jane cameo in Arrested Development: the joke is the gulf between his fame in the movie's made-up world and his fame in real life.

I'm dragging my heels on The Magician King, simply because I loved The Magicians so much that I don't want it to be retroactively tarnished by a subpar sequel. I don't think I've ever done that with a book before.

You should check out The Magicians by Lev Grossman next. I'm rereading it right now, and it's fantastic. It's one of the few books about which I can say, without exaggeration, that it broke my heart.

Yeah, my uncle owns those stores, and I have no idea why they're named after Dick Van Dyke either.

Yeah, Mary Poppins! Yeah, kites!

Too bad WARM BODIES didn't tank. Then it would have been a zom-rom-com bomb.

You tell me, Jeeves, you're the Google pro around these parts, apparently.

Liked for "penis ex machina."

@avclub-af95af2627f837175b14bd72fce0e2ba:disqus The Bale Bruce Wayne is written to be apeshit, perhaps, but Bale's performance is pretty standard white-bread good-guy stuff. I don't much like Burton's interpretation of the Bat-verse as a whole, but he got the right actor for the job.

That was the point where I transitioned from thinking, "Man, this movie is pretty bad," to feeling genuine rage.

I still hold that his Alice in Wonderland is one of the top-5 worst movies I've ever bought a movie ticket for.

Ahaha is that band for real? During that video I kept expecting the MST3K silhouettes to pop up and start making fun of their costumes.

"When the Vatican is in ashes … THEN you have my permission to die." *shatters black pope-hat*

Nah. Maybe if it had been the watery biopic sentimentality that everyone feared, this would be true. A lot of grandmas were probably wondering why they were sitting through a bunch of political maneuvering when they really wanted slo-mo shots of Lincoln weeping over slavery for two hours.
