*hangs head, Arrested Development sad walk song plays*
Aww, rats.

Mmm, the Valentine's Day Peanuts special springs to my mind when you mention the duds. I've never been a big fan of that one. Will respecfully disagree re: Calvin and Hobbes. As much as I would love a Hobbes plushie to sit on the shelf next to my WW2 Flying Ace Snoopy and my Showercap Opus… no animation of C&H,

I get co-author credit, right? Or at the very least a "suggested by" type of thing?

Honestly, for me, it's akin to reading a Stephen King novel. I see the characters a certain way in my head, I hear their voices. And I am routinely disappointed by adaptations of his work for that exact reason.

I never ever want to see Calvin and Hobbes made into a movie. I have very specific voices in mind for all the characters and anything but those voices would be horrible. I'm actually glad Watterson refused to merchandise C&H. I feel similarly about Bloom County, my other favorite strip of all time. I think there might

or whatever the hell Linus and Lucy's kid brother was called. He was annoying.

Surviving PigPen.

They didn't do that on the cartoon series?

Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown was the first movie I ever saw on a big screen. I was 5 at the time it came out, and it still holds a special place in my heart.

The Remains of The Dogfood?
A Doghouse With A View?

I can remember when they tried to do that on The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, giving Snoopy an "internal monologue". It was a little weird for those of us who grew up on the movies, where he didn't have that. I actually prefer him not having it, but I can understand how someone who is only familiar with the strip

I don't really get the love for The Shining. I never have. When people use it as their sort of gold standard for horror, I always wonder why. It's visually interesting, and there are some great, scary scenes, I just don't think it's all that amazing. (I realize that is an extremely unpopular opinion around these

That is exactly how I saw it too.

The original Fright Night was a fun, campy little movie. I never bothered with the remake. But to say that either is better than Cabin? Nope.

I actually agree about Scream. Scream is a mildly comedic hack and slash. I was never scared watching it. Gore and blood do not a horror movie make, to my mind. I enjoy a good slasher flick, but pyschological or more realistic horror is more my bag. Misery would be my go to when describing a perfect horror movie. That

I cannot get into the show this season at all. I was late to the party with AHS anyway, only getting invested after breaking my wrist last year and binge watching whatever happened to be on Netflix. I don't know if it's the lack of Jessica Lange, or Gaga's blandness, but there's been no hook for me. I tried watching

I'm not sure whether Glenn is actually dead, but… what a rotten way to kill him off if so. I expect as the show goes on more and more of them (the core group) have to die. I just kind of want their deaths to be… more, somehow, than that was. To mean more. Does that make sense?

Yeah, I know. I'm not sure what it was. I jumped in because it looked fun and it WAS fun, but the drops were thin on the ground for me. I'm playing solo for the most part, so I'm still feeling my way through the content.

I get the impression that some people think the Court is Loot Cave 2.0 or something. That was certainly not my experience. I can't wait to find a decent raid group to do King's Fall with. I'm not great at raids (only done one, sigh) but I'm dying to try it.

I don't know that "other guys" is that bad an excuse, really. One of the things I truly dislike about the strike playlist is how the people I end up with want to race through the strikes. I always seem to get one guy who races, and another who wants to hang back and actually play the strike. I personally like to take
