Peggy Sue Got Married is one of my favorite movies period.

I think Ever After wasn't included because the absolute best part of that movie is not the romance, it's Anjelica Huston.

You, sir, have the comments of a Yalie.

Greatest category name ever.

Yes, thank you, Philadelphia Story is way too good to be overlooked.

The lack of Gold Diggers of '33 or Philadelphia Story makes this list a complete fail.

When I was eight years old, I read Matilda and immediately felt inspired to read the books listed that she read (like Animal Farm, The Red Pony, etc.). While my mom watched her eight year old read books that adults struggle through with growing bewilderment, I learned an important lesson: Never be intimidated by a

It's gotta be Hudson Hawke when after hearing an insane explanation of how Danny Aiello's character managed to not die, there's a big pause and Bruce Willis' character says, "Yeah! That's probably what happened!" It retroactively redeems an otherwise ludicrously bad film.

American Gods, Low Key = Loki. I've never felt so dumb in my entire life. The only good thing is that everyone else I've met also didn't see it.

Ben Linus was hands down my favorite character on Lost.

I declare this thread over, go home, best comment that could possibly be made.

Actually, in the Judaic understanding, Abel doesn't have any issue because when God says that Abel's blood "cried out to him", the word for blood is the plural, rather than the singular, which is interpreted as meaning that not only did Abel's blood cry out, but the blood of all those who would have descended from

I use a lot of lines from MST3K in every day life but the one my SO and I use a lot when it comes to bad movies, television shows, or books is, "…And then he becomes a Jedi Knight? WHY AM I SITTING HERE?!" Also, "Can we make a rule that in the future, films have to be made by film-makers?"

I don't care whether people are bullied or not, I wouldn't wish the years of abuse and isolation I suffered on anyone (with the exception of my bullies), but my problem with a lot of the people who call themselves nerds is that it's fashionable to be one now but once the trends change, they can go on and like other

I didn't really love this one as much as I did Harold Schechter's work on H. H. Holmes. I felt a little like Larson was trying to spoon feed me history, which, thanks, I can handle on my own. Not a terrible work, it's just that I came to it already knowing a ton about H. H. I think a movie version might be

When lonely Lirael has to say goodbye to her only friend, the Disreputable Dog because the dog chooses to die for her. I just read it again yesterday. In The Golden Compass, you don't actually see the death but the poor little boy they meet wandering around lost with a piece of trash he keeps calling by his daemon's

I agree with others that the first few books are decent. I loved Wizard and Glass but things start going downhill pretty quick once, um, I don't want to spoil it. However, I would like to say that I actually loved the ending…the real one that King tries to stop and tell you not to read.

I did my graduate work on the history of pseudoscience and learned how measuring "IQ" was developed so every time I hear someone ask what mine is, I just shake my head and explain that I don't believe in it. It's about as scientific a measurement as having your horoscope cast.

Can Redford also do a docu-drama about hackers? I just want to raise awareness of Sneakers. Man, I just realized that's another movie where Redford's character avoids trouble by running to get food.

I learned that my sixth grade class (I live in the Pacific NW, so they mandatorily send you into the woods) was so dysfunctional that we were unable to perform the trust exercises and our teacher ran away crying. It was kind of great because I was this super bullied child so I had the impression that everyone else was
