Haters gonna hate.

Mood, milieu, mise-en-scène. Don't worry about "getting" it; that part's not important.

Have Gondry or Kaufman ever confirmed Je t'aime, je t'aime as an influence? It's likely, but I've never seen it stated as outright truth before.

It's far, far away from pseudo-photoreal 3D CG, which is an important distinction on its own. And each drawing is created individually by hand even if the paint has been digital since the end of The Little Mermaid.

I'm always bothered by the phrase "the exception that proves the rule". I know it can be used correctly sometimes but I always have to pause to wonder if it makes sense in any given instance and if the writer meant it to make sense in that way.

Steinman's voice can make his songs feel like parodies of themselves. I still enjoy Bad for Good but always get the feeling Jim Steinman is entirely the wrong person to be singing Jim Steinman songs.

I (born in 1990) was told by my father at age four that "rock and roll turns your brain to mush" and frequently heard him complain about the state of popular music, so I developed a neurotic cognitive dissonance against acknowledging that I liked any of it. It took me a long time to overcome this largely because, you…

I like to think the original Betty was destroyed and a bunch of copy-Betties appeared all over spacetime, one of whom ended up a thousand years later in Ooo.

I dislike the idea of introducing time travel this far into a show. It's a huge element with enormous ramifications both for the world and for the characters. Usually a lot more problematic than it's worth. Pen Ward's said before that he was very reluctant to do any time travel stories in Adventure Time so it's…

If only she'd just copied the tape and returned it like a sensible person this whole mess could have been avoided.

A pop culture trend forecaster is the antagonist of my favorite scene in A Hard Day's Night…

They keep saying "our Chicken McNuggets". I think what they're saying is this video just applies to the Canadian process and the US nuggets are indeed made from pink goop.

I really enjoyed "Love and Monsters" when I saw it but to be fair I was on Paxil at the time and was entirely incapable of experiencing negative emotions. Mock away.

I loved liked Sarah Jane's double entendre to K-9 at the end of "School Reunion": "He replaced you with a brand new model! Yeah, he does that." I wonder if the scene was written to lead up to that line or if the line just came about organically.

Tarantino will now focus on a new movie about a writer/director who cancels plans to direct his next movie and instead focuses his attention on exacting lethal revenge against the actors who may have leaked its script. Tentative title is The Hateful Ragequit.

"and the entire comic is available online here."

I might have agreed with you if I'd never seen Master of Disguise.

The best part is we'll probably never have an official answer whether PB kept watching or not.

IFC, that rhymes with P, and that stands for pool

I'd say if "City of Death" didn't come out ahead just for the "You remember that man who was following us?" exchange it would come out ahead just for the John Cleese/Eleanor Bron bit.
