As an animator I'd like to mention that the increased fluidity of this episode isn't just a matter of difference in rendering style or increased number of drawings (it looks like a lot of it was probably auto-tweened, but very skillfully if so) but the overlapping actions and arcs in the movement are done much more…

I usually enjoy the animated films critics also tend to enjoy (along with many they don't) but I really, really didn't like How to Train Your Dragon. I found so many aspects of it annoyingly trite that I had a very hard time understanding why the movie was so widely beloved.

I watched If… a couple of years ago after reading some reviews of Melody that claimed Melody's ending copied If… (Melody's ending is really much more Zero for Conduct… Amusing now that a movie with a subplot about kids building a bomb at school which they eventually use to blow up a car in an anti-adult rebellion is…

I saw the headline and immediately thought of Jurassic Fork from Parks & Recreation.

You probably want to say Future Boy Conan. Which is likely, as both Rebecca and Steven Sugar have expressed fondness for it on several occasions.

This'll start you off

"Lion 2 The Movie" (I love this title much more than I probably should) is the best example yet of how Steven Universe gets the "anime" feeling right where most "anime inspired" cartoons come across as superficial. Probably not much point in pointing out the Miyazaki or Utena stuff anymore (or, since AV Club is just…

"I find that scene really erotic. That's what eroticism is. If I say this, I might sound funny and might give you the wrong idea, but self-destruction is what I find erotic. I am totally satisfied with that scene." -Mamoru Oshii in his interview for Japanorama, in which he also says he thinks he's a reincarnated…

I didn't like World on a Wire so much outside the visuals, and I think it's probably because I watched it almost immediately after I read Simulacron-3 and it leaves out most of my favorite stuff. (As Pohl and Dick had both written SF stories with simulated reality premises before, and Simulacron-3 felt like something…

But the music video's already the perfect short film

So Goonies, yeah, but did anyone pick up a Real Genius vibe from Borchert? Prodigy becoming a hermit and living under a college for decades… uh…
I mean, it doesn't go any further than that, but Harmon brought up Real Genius both in his story structure article on the Channel 101 wiki and in at least one episode of Harmo…

FOX turned into a highbrow educational channel so gradually I didn't even notice.

You know, I'd probably watch a Paul W. S. Anderson Garfield movie.

The conflict is introduced minutes before it's resolved. The problem is the Great Intelligence is gonna go frak up the Doctor all over his timeline at once, the resolution is Clara's gonna go save the Doctor all over his timeline at once.

>most everything in Moffat's RTD era episodes can be considered dry runs for characters in his own tenure as showrunner.

Unless I misunderstood, the Doctor didn't turn into the magic timeline. That was the scar tissue of his trips through time and his body was just not there. The other stuff is basically magic but still didn't really feel like a problem to me. It's not that Moffat's scripts never fall apart when examined ("A Christmas…

What makes Moffat's mysteries bullshit? I understand preferring prioritizing character development over intricate plotting, but to me bullshit storytelling is stuff like, Oods having two brains doesn't make sense unless they have a third brain, and you push a guy onto a giant Ood brain and the space between its…
