The older wax museum (as of c. 1997 when I went there) is not very good, but it definitely has a tone that is just the opposite - it was built in the McCarthy/Crucible era and reflects that attitude. I think the coming of witch-oriented kitsch and the embrace of the town by actual Wiccans are both a bit more recent.

"Non-s plural" was the hint. The plural of memento is mementos, right?

I believe high fantasy = "lots of magic and non-human races" and low fantasy = "set in a quasi-medieval world with little to no magic or elves or dwarves." A Game of Thrones (the original book) would be low fantasy except for the first and last chapters.

Sorry - it was kind of in reply to your thought, but I should have phrased it as "I wonder how old she was." Sorry!

How old was she? If she was in her fifties, then some people might react the way they do to adults who read young adult novels. If she was in her twenties, then it would be surprising if she didn't like Taylor Swift.

I'm trying to figure out if this is an accusation that her songwriting credits are phony (certainly possible in the sinkhole of the music industry) or an honest expression of non-knowledge. If the latter, then yes, she is credited as writer or co-writer on all her hits.

Confession: I didn't mind it nearly as much as many other modern episodes. If you know the medieval art that the original tapestry was parodying, some of the jokes were pretty funny (e.g., "A long winter where nothing happens.").

Each state has a number of electors equal to its number of Senators and Representatives. 435 + 100 = 535 - but since the 1960s D.C. has also had three, so 538.

I like Ebert, but that is a strange statement.

I think each one had diminishing returns at the box office. Wikipedia also says there was temporary losing of the rights. Supposedly The Silver Chair is on the way eventually, but don't hold your breath.

The protagonist lived in a neighborhood full of skinheads, if I recall correctly. As an American, I barely knew what skinheads were and associated them with neo-Nazis, so the fact that they apparently dominated this guy's neighborhood was hard to process.

St. Patrick's is probably the only church I have visited (at least in the U.S.) that has no foyer of any kind - just open the door and you are in the church proper. I also searched fruitlessly for a restroom when I was in there - and apparently this is still true today:

I am more offended that that video is posted by something calling itself "News TV."

I kind of suspect that a Pamela Anderson appearance would probably not be well-received either. (At least not c. 1995 - today she is too forgotten for anyone to care.)

Brontë-saurus was a nasty category - three difficult vocabulary clues
mixed in with two easy (even if one was a Triple Stumper) clues about Brontë
characters. Then they made one of the two character-based questions a
Daily Double, but of course Jennifer didn't know it would be a
character-based. Fearing another…

I think there have been other variations, too - I remember a Muppet Babies episode with the brain/memory as a filing cabinet or library (details vague - so much for my own memory library!).

Sorry; I went in the wrong order by not leaving the couch people until the end. 6 is Strahovski/Carpenter. Your interpretation does fit the way they look in the picture after all (which may not reflect real life or even their portrayals in the series).

I think 4) is Rene Carpenter, who eventually becomes the forthright modern one. She may have been nice as well, of course.

I think these are the Original Seven wives above.

They were. I had already had a polemic about this in the original thread.
