The Bowie/Crosby version at that.

I'd love to see and Inventory of sci-fi stories from the weird 90's "DNA can do anything, it's like magic!" story trend.  I wonder how many of them are due to people reading _Jurassic Park_ (which was heavier on the hard science fiction) and not really "getting" it?

If I ever make my movie, the opening scene will be something like this:

Point the first: Dinosaurs aren't lizards.  (Seriously?  I mean it makes as much sense to equate whales with giant lizards.  Or humans.)

On that note, if and when I ever make an animated film, I will insist that the promotional materials include a phrase like the following:

Well, I rented "Cars 2: Farewell to the Flesh" just to be a Pixar completest and… I did not entirely hate it.  And part of it has to do with the feeling I got that they took everything that weirded people out about the first "Cars" and ran it into the ground.  We get car terrorism, car racism (make/modelism?), and a

Ugh, thanks for reminding me of that.  I remember it turning up in animation message boards a few years ago, usually to comments of "Connery is sort-of-un-retiring for THIS?"

I need to see this.

But stomping on turtles and chucking their bodies into bottomless pits and lava and whatnot is okay?

Things like this is why I have nothing but sympathy for English language learners.

I don't think it's that most Gargoyles fans are Furries so much.  It's more just that most of what Gargoyles fan-created stuff out there is… so damn weird.

It's sitting in my Instant Queue next to "Earth Two" and… eh, someday.  Misaimed nostalgia will do that.

You're going to kick yourself over this one: The show was imaginatively entitled, "T. Rex".  Yup.

This is blowing my mind harder than it should.  Next you'll be telling me you have never encountered "The Little Prince" in any form of media.

I like how one of the last remaining not-horrible pages on TV Tropes is their summary of "Today's Special" and just how freaky it was.

Looking back on "Pinwheel", my favorite aspect of it that I never even caught onto as a child was how closely you could map many of the characters onto their now-obvious "Sesame Street" inspirations:

Oh, ye gods, "Letter People" was like an acid trip for children.  The episode where the C realizes he doesn't have much of a purpose beyond "ch" is heady stuff when you are in kindergarten and just getting a handle on this whole "alphabet" thing.

That would be "Raggedy Anne and Andy: A Musical Adventure" by none other than Richard Williams.

Everybody!  "ONE elephant went out to play!  UPON a SPIDER'S web one day!  S/HE had such ENORMOUS FUN that s/he called for another elephant to come!!!"

No idea.  I just saw the commercials for those episodes and they stuck with me for some reason.
