This is a great comment. I don't understand complaining about the animation, at all. If I wanted to see something incredibly slick and glossy and bright, I'd watch a fucking Pixar movie. If I wanted to see something that is actually evocative, artistic, and seems like it has a soul, I'd watch The Rescuers.

I agree. I actually do like Rescuers Down Under a lot, but it is SO much "slicker" and just less sweet and authentic than The Rescuers. I also feel like The Rescuers hews much more to the spirit of the books.

I love that joke. The first time I heard of a goanna lizard I immediately connected it to The Rescuers Down Under, even though it had been years.

The movie ends before the denouement! OF COURSE they went back and rescued the animals, and Cody went back to his mom after.

I thought this was a typo of "wack." Weird phrase to use.

Yeah, from the title I thought this was going to be an interesting article with a broad scope rather than "Take the movie 'The Master' seriously."

I would much rather that someone created a story about me and had it done by local (in the sense of local to the director/writer of the movie) actors speaking a different language, than fictionalized it. (In other words, what Polanski did in The Pianist, even though I was bitching about the language in that.) I feel…

I don't mind being accused of being ethnocentrist (I definitely don't feel like you are attacking me, so no worries), I'm sure I inescapably am in many ways, but I just wasn't even describing anything that I personally think. So I don't think that I'm really supporting or adhering to a certain definition of "white"…

How long have you guys been doing all this touchy feely stuff about like random life topics and how did it come about? The AVC is really different seeming now (including that I have a profile picture impostor).

I did a presentation on Russian prisons and one of the things I read for it was this: http://amzn.to/PUXaZd Truly some fucked up shit. (Unlike you, he didn't pick up on the bribe element; he had a more "serious" offense though.) I mean, there are plenty of countries where jail and prison is horrific, but Russia is one…

This happened to me two weeks ago! Literally every other one of my friends from college was invited to the bachelor/bachelorette party and I wasn't, even though I was in town early the same as everyone else. I felt pretty left out. I also ended up drunkenly mentioning this to a non-affiliated fellow wedding guest. My…
