My friend, you are missing out. They are all over the north midwest (Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, etc) with franchises elsewhere as well. Excellent burgers (butter burgers) and frozen custard instead of ice cream. Delicious.

If you like Song of the Sea, take the time to watch Secret of Kells, too. Same studio and art style. Story and voice acting are similarly great. Like Song of the Sea, it also has some beautiful, beautiful music to go with it.

I'm tired of these puns already.

Last year they streamed most of the festival, and clips from past festivals, on a custom app on the XBox One. It worked way better than I expected, and I got to see Cake, Fitz and the Tantrums, and Janelle Monae from the relative comfort of my living room. Bummed they aren't doing it again. Also, this lineup is…

I got to see this movie early, through the Seattle International Film Festival, and I thought it was a riot. I've not seen any other movies with McCarthy in it - I've seen her on a few shows here and there, but nothing more - so I was hesitant going in, for some of the reasons others have posted here. I was…

No, it absolutely is not. What this movie did really well, I thought, was to let other people project that kind of crap stereotype on Melissa McCarthy's character again and again, only to have her subvert it or ignore it completely. I'm not going to say there are no jokes along those lines, just that they don't feel…

Yes! That right there. Perfect description of Throwing Copper. The problem with all of Live's other albums is that they are missing the hooks and amping up the regrettable lyrics.

Agree, the turtle costumes are great in this movie, and they still hold up well today because they are practical effects.

It was a movie that I really, really liked when I first saw it back in 6th/7th grade, and I remember defending it to a teacher that was teaching us a unit on film. He didn't buy it. In retrospect, he was right - it really isn't a good movie, not really a good action movie, not well plotted, and not especially well…

I saw The Twilight Sad open for Frightened Rabbit in Seattle a couple of years ago and thought they were good but the set was pretty bland, especially compared to Frightened Rabbit, who were just outstanding that night.

Sometimes gender flipping a song is harmless, does nothing to the song, and is indeed just to make it less "awkward" for the singer.
Sometimes gender flipping changes the meaning of the song in interesting ways.
And sometimes it just doesn't work at all. A week ago I saw a folk duo cover Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"…

I love "Frozen". The production is immaculate. That drum sound, her voice, just the tone of the whole thing. I remember the video being pretty good, too.

Yeah, that's why I didn't pick Mal. Well, that and his fairly binary attitude toward his female companions. He's a lot of fun to watch but I wouldn't want to be him. I was just surprised not to see any other votes for him.

A lot of really good choices in the article and here in the comment. Chris Evans's Captain America is a good choice, as is Chris Reeve's Superman, especially in the first movie. I'm surprised that Mal Reynolds from Firefly doesn't show up here given how closely he skews towards a few others mentioned.

If I'm looking for idyllc, I would like to live in the Japanese countryside depicted in My Neighbor Totoro

Friday: Lazy night, watched some 4th Doctor with my wife (Ribos Operation)

My absolute favorite mystery. It's so great!

As a kid, I preferred Superman 2, because the villains were better. As an adult, I've come to prefer the original Superman, especially the first hour so (through the helicopter rescue). I just love it - the Smallville scenes, and Superman's first appearances in Metropolis are just so damn much fun, and Reeves is SO…

One of my top 10 favorites - this quote I mean. The rest of the ep is great, too, but probably not top 10.

Me too! Every time.
