So you let the overuse of shadows masking the simple character drawings and basic scenery fool you into thinking Batman TAS was animated better?
I liked that show, but give me a break. Plus, the ensemble voiceover
work for X-Men TAS is far superior, ranking up there with the top
animation/anime ever.

At little part of young me died when I first saw Batman & Robin. If I was watching it in a theater, I would have walked out and waited in the parking lot for my parents to pick me up.
As it was, a friend and I watched it on VHS during a sleepover. We were so bummed out, we we're just like "I guess we'll go to bed now…

X-Men TAS is one of the best animated series period. Case in point, all of the characters outside of Jubilee had fully realized but hidden backstories that gave them immediate felt depth and dynamics that the movies' portrayals never had. Comparatively, in X1, Wolverine, Cyclops, et all all looked like virgins on…

It seems that if Littlefinger had a card to play to win Sansa over, it would be saying that her cousin was raising the Knights of the Vale to fight the Boltons. Withholding that seemed… odd… and foreboding.

Their entire navy being outpaced by Gendry, who's still rowing…

Not to nerd out on sail cloth and cordage, but when Euron said "I want every woman spinning flax for sails", I was like "Do you even hemp, bro?"

I don't get the "one-sided" nudity complaint.

Some of these analogies are a stretch to say the least. The most interesting political comparison I've heard recently is when Dany pulled off the Isis-like statue off of the top of the pyramid of Mereen, it was like GWB in that ridiculous outfight on the aircraft carrier with the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner. But…

A tribute to all of us stoners out there who had a brilliant idea whilst hitting a steamroller, and losing our intellectual momentum due to coughing fits, verily.

RIP Osha indeed. At this point, the examples of psychopathic brutality that Ramsey Bolton commits are no longer shocking, but feel to me like cheap heat for a character who has earned more than enough ire to make everyone want his head removed from his shoulders and rejoice when it's put on a pike.

Summoning the screenwriting coach McKee from Adaptation: "Boring AND an unlikable protagonist? WHY THE FUCK AM I WATCHING THE GODDAMN MOVIE???"

Firefly is fandom is for people who didn't watch Cowboy Bebop in Japanese because they couldn't keep up with reading the subtitles.

I watched it once all the way through, just to cross it off the list; I recently tried watching it again, and jesus fucking christ I couldn't make it 5 minutes in. Must be all the slaves my great great great great grandfather didn't own or something.

Raging Bull. I saw it as a young adult, then saw it 10+ years later as an adult with more life experiences = it's still a movie about a dumb Italian neanderthal who punches people in the face for a living, when he isn't punching out his best friends, his brother, or his wife.

OMG, the hardships of a rich and famous film and TV star that is one clothing size above the anorexic Hollywood standards. So organic and relatable! Comedy comes from pain people, and I feel it! Such universal themes!

Maybe one of Bran's flashback's will reveal how badly Ned Stark fucked over all of his bannermen and kin in the past so that would later so ruthlessly betray him and his family and trust to serve known backstabbers and psychopaths?

Not that I care for these particular labels, but there is a difference between "Gen Y" and "Millennials" that doesn't necessarily need an entire generation of time to define the disparity in cultural outlooks. Which is a fancy way of saying, there's something to be said about people in their early 30s who managed to…

Avatar is the easy answer: no part of watching that movie for a 2nd time without 3D or IMAX would ever live up to the full sensory absorption of being on Pandora with the characters in all the action, colors and landscape. (Cannabis helped)

I went to JP1 on a rec/school field trip with kids in age ranging from 6 to 11ish. The counselors said, "If things get scary, you can come sit with us in the back row." So beyond all of the great story, amazing score, and the ground breaking special effects, etc, I will never forget the stream of terrified kids…

Did anyone else as a kid have the read-along comic book with cassette "Droid World"? ~In between ep4 & 5, Luke sends C-3PO & R2 to recruit a cyborg and his droid army at a space station where no humans were allowed? I was kind of hoping Ep7 retconned in C-3PO getting the arm from that story's villian, Z-X3 (a red…
