The difference between Jeff's suggestion and Abed's is that while they both offer him the chance to reinvent himself, Abed is actually inviting him into the group once it's been made clear to the characters that he is part of their destiny. And it's been clear since season 2 that Chang just badly wants to be in the…

Your point about Chang may also explain why they just had him forsake his evil plans and accept his new life as Kevin.
They might have had other plans for him, but Chevy's departure left open the need for an antagonist within the group.

He was actually in the trailer. He's mocked in the South Park movie when Parker and Stone couldn't possibly have seen Episode I early enough to know how much he would be hated; interviewed they said they knew straight from the trailer that he would be awful.

I found it the funniest joke in the movie, and it's pretty much the only thing I remember from it. It was just unexpected and absurd, it probably helped that I hadn't seen the trailer.

Don't worry, proud anti-intellecualism is a pretty universal trait.

If you have a region free DVD player, it's easily available in zone 2.

"Boys II Menorah" for me, with "No-Ho-Ho" a close second.

"Children should be seen, not heard. And and also not seen."

I agree with that, I disagree with lots of critics too. But I'm pretty sure anyone who looks into it can find a reviewer or publication in line with their tastes; what surprises me more is the tacit acceptance that they would rather believe marketing and promotional material to guide their choices. A trusted friend…

Oh I don't, this is notably a discussion I've had with classmates in marketing or communications classes, they didn't listen to reviews (reading anything would anyway have been out of the question) and would rather pay attention to trailers and promotional interviews because "no-one tells them what to think", you'd…

At which point most film-makers would reply: "I don't care, I'm not getting any points on the gross."

I'd agree.
I've never understood people who pointedly ignore reviews, as the numbers show, they predominantly trust marketing instead, which I somehow wouldn't imagine is the best way to make an informed decision.

They are enjoyable at any age (from 7 to 77 (probably should be updated for increased life expectancy)), and while they are very suitable for children, there isn't really anything childish about them.
And it certainly developed my interest for the period (and eating boar).

Tintin could have worked too, I had read both entire series by the time I was eight or nine (and I'm pretending the newer Asterixes don't exist); but if I was to pick up one these days it would be Asterix, I got burnt out on Tintin by the (very good and faithful) cartoon adaptations that were (and probably still are)…

I loved that when I went on holiday to Morocco, in a restaurant my vegetarian friend asked what the meatless options were, the reply came:"We have chicken".

But is it fat-free?

She was a ponytail away from Not Another Teen Movie.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they said he dislocated his shoulder. They also then said he injured himself on purpose, not that he faked it, which brings other issues storywise, i.e. how do you get a cast for a fake injury.

Shirley has always been intolerant (based on religious prejudices rather), and not that nice, she's a bit more discreet about it than Pierce but it's always been there. She tried to subrepticiously baptise Annie, in "Cooperative Calligraphy" she just assumed the Muslim would have stolen the pen. I'm sure there are…

I'll just add one more thing, sorry; Carlos did make a point of targeting civilians as a goal. I probably should have made that clear in case anyone didn't know.
If you didn't, I see how it would be easier to misunderstand my reply.
