"Him" is one of the few good episodes of s7.

Agreed, Jordo.

I agree with everything Ripheus and Cyrus said. Angel has a far more coherent narrative overall (even s4), and it generally gets better as it goes along, whereas Buffy generally gets worse (or, at least, never gets close to the consistency of s3 again). And a handful of Angel episodes- "A Hole in the World," "Smile…

Agreed, Dumpy. "The Replacement" is used by the show's writers as a quick segue between two fundamentally different versions of Xander. By the end of s3, Xander was developing into a fairly complex character. He had seen in himself a capacity to hurt the people he cared about and had also been confronted by his own…

I don't see the difference.

Tommy Wiseau has the diction for the part.

It will be called "48 State Songs," and will have an oddly suggestive picture of the number 48 on the cover.

Catwoman, maybe? I'd be fine if they just adapted Max Shrek.

In that picture, he looks like post-op Meg Ryan.

That thing looks like a coconut that's been raped by Satan.

Migrant, I read Ratatouille's central theme as an expansion of Bird's criticism/apologia of egoism/objectivism. In Ratatouille, Bird argues against the notion that classes should be separated along stark, almost caste-like lines based on perceived value of output and against the idea that criticism is intended only to…

Which One Features the Gnawing Monster Birth Scene?
And the baby entering an arranged marriage with a werewolf 20 years her senior? I might watch that one…

The bliss of the third act of Ponyo is that the plot, such as it is, becomes entirely secondary to the emotional experience the characters are going through. Attempts to capture it with logic fail, but not because the material can't satisfy them; they are simply overwhelmed by the primal emotional thrust of the…

I agree, Harbinger, but, as you noted, it's pulled off with quite a bit of panache, so it's not terribly disappointing.

DC, my problem isn't with the aliens getting the cold. It's with Tom Cruise's wife's neighborhood being somehow untouched by the aliens and his son somehow surviving that massive explosion we saw him run into and somehow winding up, unscathed, at his mom's house. After Cruise puts the grenade in that thing's sphincter…

The ending of War of the Worlds is just idiotic.

After rewatching WALL-E recently, Information, I'm inclined to agree with you. The humans are inspired in concept, but as characters are thinly drawn. Their central conflict is too simple and its resolution too pat to be entirely satisfying. And there's simply no way that life could be restored on Earth that quickly.

One a them thangs what's on are mudflaps?

Meanwhile, in Kentucky, it's just me and the steers.

Idiotking, was that around 2002/2003? My fiancee met her last boyfriend on a Radiohead message board.
