Nonsense, it's good because it's funny.  People really watch Beetlejuice for the fx?  Jiminy cricket.

I feel the same way about the Burton Alice that I do about Snow White and the Huntsman — it most surely wasn't worth whatever it cost to make it (seriously, guys, people are starving in Africa…), but I was aware all the way through how much I would have *loved* it at the age of 10 or so, which kind of makes me unable…

Was anyone else sort of bummed when she got all blonde and happy at the end?  Burton and his fetish for the Angelic Blondes, man.

I'm probably giving this too much thought (i.e., some thought), but in Chris Brown's universe, what does the word "positive" mean?  I keep hearing him say it, in some vague way that seems to imply that he finds his music and/or his life "positive," and — like — honestly, what does he think he's contributing to people…

I'm trying to conquer the canon-nerd part of my brain that keeps thinking, if Carrie has a little sister that she was so protective and fond of, where the hell did she go?  Did she never visit New York?  *Is she dead in the future?*  I know this just needs a handwave, but it keeps bugging me.

Honestly, I don't think you do have to make a thing out of Barney's personality switch.  After all, it's canon that he's done this once before: the suited-up on-the-make corporate-tool Barney was a persona he deliberately adopted out of disappointment at how his life was going.  Now that he's not thrilled by the way…

I think the freakout wasn't so much about wanting Robin as feeling crappy because everyone in Ted's life is now coupled up and planning for the future.  It's the logical continuation of the trilogy episode, where it all came down for Ted to "does this mean there's something wrong with me?"  It would have to be hard…

Till my dying day, I will never understand this meme.  SJP is smoking hot, full fking stop.

Actually, I saw the movie first, and I thought it was really good.  I went on to catch up with the show, which I like reasonably well, but the movie is still the thing I rewatch regularly, not any of the episodes.

The thing that makes the movie version suck so much worse than the stage version is that, for some inexplicable reason, the director has them speak all the recitative parts, so they're always talking to each other in these mannered, rhyming couplets.  It's just a terrible, terrible choice in every possible way.  It's…

What is the point of bringing up The Woman if she does nothing at all of any interest or value, and is not even remotely unique in any way, but Iteration 2,356,603 of the Bog Standard Girlfriend Whose Murder, Like, Totally Affects the Hero and Gives Him Motivation, Man?

I saw both of these movies for the first time in a double feature just like this in college.  Back to back is…just a really lot of Quentin Tarantino, but they were so surprising and interesting then.  Now I feel like they're so well known that it might be — just a really lot of Quentin Tarantino.

Who gives a shit?  This isn't small-claims court.  The state of California is the plaintiff in sexual assault trials, and it's his debt to the state of California that went unpaid when he fled the country after his plea bargain.  The victim can feel whatever she likes (although as a matter of fact, she's specifically…

I know, right?  I really am sort of a fan all of a sudden — she just seems very sweet and interested in people and like she's just genuinely enjoying being a professional musician without being hung-up on how she's perceived in any way.  If she were at a mall near me right now, I would absolutely go and eat pizza and…

This should be part of some kind of marketing campaign for Showime, shouldn't it?  "SHOWTIME: Sometimes we show you junk, and nobody dies!"

You'd never catch HIMYM making a rookie mistake like that.
