_Entertainment Weekly_, of all things, had a pretty good sequel idea sort of like that in their year-end wrap-up issue for… whatever year "ID4" was out.

Or maybe it's just a nonhuman animal doing something that looks very strange for reasons that are unclear to humans.  (I need some cat owners to back me up here.)

"one of those can't-see-things-that-don't-move problems"

It's very nice to know that there is at least one other person who was hoping for more Entire History of Life On Earth in "Tree of Life".

I very distinctly remember Sendak himself being dumbfounded when somebody pointed that out to him.  The man didn't put anything in his illustrations he didn't intend.

About halfway through I started reading that in Carol King's voice a la the surprisingly haunting version of "Pierre" in "Really Rosie".

Wasn't this an episode of "Star Trek TNG"?  Or was it with a clone…?

I remember when there were some guys who got genuinely angry at that song and some band even wrote a response.  T.L.C.'s reaction was awesome, "Hey, if 'No Scrubs' made you mad, have you considered that maybe it's because it's about you?"

"construct a robot coated with her ashes"

Yeah, as awful and uncomfortable as the circumstances were, there's a part of me that's curious as hell as to what those albums would have been like/how that would have played out.

"Don't challenge yourself, don't dream, always avoid the road less traveled. In fact, stick to the roads most traveled by *YOU* or else terrible things will happen to you."

"From Hasbro, the toy company that brought you Transformers"

It was a Richard Matheson (sp?) story that had previously been adapted as a "Twilight Zone" episode.

Rock-A-Doodle

Jonnie, skip "Crash" and watch both "Do the Right Thing" and "Magnolia".  Then lie back and imagine what a combination of those movies would look like if it was handled with all the subtlety of an explosion at the special effects factory.

No, Yee Yee is right; Plastic Man is the best shapeshifter superhero.

Or better yet, I dunno, maybe don't remake one of the only western animated features that honestly does not look like anything else out there and instead create an entirely original animated film based off popular music…

Not to mention the eye-searingly ugly character designs and horrifying mo-cap.  The one good thing about "Mars Needs Moms" is that it effectively killed the Motion capture remake of "Yellow Submarine".

Anyone who grew up with the Disney movies of the late '80s owes it to themselves to watch it.  Makes a fantastic triple-feature with "The Sweatbox" (if you can find it) and "Dream On, Silly Dreamer" (which is a far more damning documentary than "Sweatbox" but Disney doesn't seem to care and it's available for a couple…
