I was thinking just about the opposite for this episode. I was annoyed that it's another of many episodes where Leslie tries to prevent a friend from making a bad decision and finally concedes that she's being too bossy and should let them do it. She's gone through this with Ron and Ann numerous times, Andy and April…

I'm not that familiar with how anime is released, but I know there are OVAs, like FLCL, which are basically direct-to-video, but with high quality that we don't associate with direct-to-video Wal-Mart bargain bins. So it's not just the international audience waiting for a foreign release, but the Japanese audience as…

I AM GROOT!

Rules are meant to be broken by Ian McKellen. Also, that was a movie, and movies can do Nazis better than theatre because they have a budget for tanks and they can copy all the Triumph Of The Will camera angles.

If only the people running the billion-dollar franchise would just C 3 PO-ed fans complaining about this news and shut it all down to appease them.

Isn't this the same discussion as "When should a band break up?"

Setting Shakespeare in Nazi Germany is a no-no TWICE on this list:

Ms. Frizzle: Class, today we're learning about the science of impact trauma!

(cues lost episode of "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" with Rockapella singing "Crimea River")

The human part of Abel is dead and went to heaven or whatever, but the human named Cain is still around because God won't let anyone kill him, and…

The joke with Canada being behind on music isn't just a random stereotype. I remember going on a trip to Canada years ago and finding that all the radio
stations played Ricky Martin long after he stopped being popular in the US. I doubt the whole country is literally years behind, but there is a basis for a silly idea…

Captain Dada's Kitchen Nightmares?

So War Horse was an extended beer commercial, just like how E.T. was an extended Reese's Pieces commercial?

If it means that this will forever be immortalized as The Blackout Bowl instead of The Har-bowl, I'd say it's worth it.

Him and his buddy Alex Trebek were in on it!

Herein lies the problem with friendship shipping. It's so clearly a reaction
to the obligatory presence of romance in shows. You're only invested in
them being good friends to each other because you're afraid that the writers will screw
up and make them get together.

I'm seein' double here! Zero Simpsons!
