I firmly feel that way about The Lion King. I was too old, and I don't understand why people think it's so great. I was more worried about seeing Pulp Fiction in 94 than sitting through some lame ass lion cartoon. That being said, I did see it during its initial theatrical release (Pocohontas too) because my siblings…

I'm really dumbfounded that Space Jam is so beloved, yet Bebe's Kids is really frickin' hard to find on DVD. Can we scrap this pointless remake and just re-release Bebe's Kids in all of its awesome glory?

I guess it was my naivety since I was a young teen when this song came out, and maybe my proximity to DC skewed my perspective, but I had the impression that this was a monster hit. This song is crazy amazing. Where Nirvana (my favorite band at the time) was all raw anger, this song was slinky, sexual, catchy and most…

Mute for weeks on end is better than in constant pain and suicidal, to be fair. Not by much though.

The big melodic chorus coupled with the lyrics that capture the way I felt for so much of my teenage years (You don't know what you want/and it make take you years to find out/you don't know what you need/something that may never come to you) make this one of my favorite songs. I love listening to it at top volume…

My kid is nearly 5, she likes Adventure Time and Gravity Falls. She's also seen The Muppets (with Jason Segal) multiple times. It totally blew her mind when I pointed out to her that Mabel and Jake, Jr. have the same voice. It further blew her mind when I showed her the Anger Management clip from The Muppets.
About two…

This came out on DVD quite some time ago, and with two preschoolers, YGG is one of the shows I don't mind watching with them.
That being said, they picked up the episode after the earworm of a song he sings to distract the gang before stealing the balloons. Very cute…"I'm a bad spy/I'm a bad guy…"

I loved the Alice books so much I named one of my babies Alice. (The other is Ophelia, because I also love Shakespeare.)

Agreed. The shows were nothing compared to the books. My grandmother got me the box set when I was nine, and initially I turned my nose up at it (I was already reading stuff off my parent's bookshelf on the regular), but one day, I picked up the first book, and was hooked.

Oh, Ian McCulloch. I used to love you.
I went to the HFStival about 10 years ago, and was SO excited to see Echo and the Bunnymen. There was a crazy good lineup that year…Billy Idol, Garbage, TMBG to name just a few, but I fought my way to the front of the stage to see Echo and the Bunnymen. I've been a fan since I…

I saw that at the library yesterday, and thought about picking it up for a read. Will definitely do so on the next trip. Thanks!

I can totally relate to Todd VanDerWerff's retroactive repulsion on the topic of Rappin' Rabbit. My parents were super permissive from birth to about 8, then they got born again and they tried to ban MTV from the house. Fat Chance. I ended up with a Rappin' Rabbit casette that I hated but my little sister loved, and…

The Crow was made specifiically to be marketed to me. Gothish teenage girl who loved alternative. My friends would forever want to watch the VHS. It never ended. I've never cared for it, but yeesh, I think I've seen it 30 times. I'm not surprised at all…only that it took this long for people to realize that it's…

Did everyone have to write one of these papers? (I chose Depeche Mode's 'Strangelove' BTW.)

I danced with my best friend at her wedding to "Just like Heaven" and will always associate it with being perfect and encapsulating a moment of sheer joy and celebration. I sing it to my kids. To an outsider, saying that a Cure song inspires pure joy may seem weird, but dammit, I smile every time I hear that song.

Finally, some love for "Lullaby". I do love that song. Not my favorite, that's a tossup between "Letters to Elise" and "Just like Heaven" (for nostalgic reasons), but underrated, for sure.

I've seen Star Trek (original and TNG—no cable in the early 90's, not much else to watch on sunday afternoons) but do not care for it. The Walking Dead is terrible. I've tried. My husband loves it, but I just roll my eyes when he gets all giddy over it. It's so boring.
I have no desire to see Game of Thrones or Doctor…

Quite a few walkouts at a showing tonight in TX. I was thinking 'Come on, you saw the trailer! You knew what to expect!'

I love the movie adaptation of Pet Sematary. Unapologetically.

Though not as traumatizing as this, my sister did scream "They're all gonna laugh at you!" when I was getting in the limo on the way to Prom. Good times.
