Easy fix: order the season 1 set now! Or several!

Really? I was very wary of Matilda but thought it was a good movie. It's not really the same thing as the book, despite being quite closely based on it, but it's quite charming and memorable in it's own right. It's one of the better Dahl adaptations, along with James and The Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and The…

@avclub-9cbac99b96b86db11c3cb9501e695e31:disqus Clearly the way to fix ABC is just to let Shonda Rhimes develop all their shows.

Yeah not all the stuff in between was bad… Pocahontas, Hunchback, and Mulan have some really memorable and classic scenes and songs, even if they don't hold up to the earlier stuff, The Emperor's New Groove was excellent though not very Disney-ish, and Lilo and Stitch was cute and heartwarming, though uneven. Tarzan…

Cult will at least finish out it's season, as the CW has absolutely nothing to replace it with. However I'm sure all the episodes were filmed ages ago so it will probably end on a cliffhanger or something.

Isn't it ABC's biggest drama hit right now? Not that it's saying much, but it hasn't fallen off this year as badly as Revenge, which has been doing Nashville numbers these last few weeks. I don't know what's going on with ABC though, they're pretty much screwed at this point. Maybe this will convince to take more of a…

Yeah strike three was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for me (the other two being Planet of the Apes and Big Fish) and that was still before Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows!

Ugh, leave out Big Fish: that was the movie where it was clear to me that Burton was pretty much done as a creative talent and there was no going back to the old days. Really poorly edited, terrible CGI effects, and he's really too cold and unemotional as a director to pull off the wistful Spielbergian tone the film…

That movie was 1/4 of a classic Burton film in Beetlejuice mode (the first five or ten minutes, Eva Green and Bonham-Carter's scenes) and 3/4 Seth Grahame-Smith's wacky remake of Austin Powers with a vampire or whatever that script was going for. It in no way resembled the original soap opera, and was pretty much a…

Dutch angles have definitely become the go to visual device for hacky directors that want to look arty. Tom Hooper and Branagh are definitely the top offenders working today.

Yeah that was a completely bizarre complaint. I'd much rather the characters just speak directly to each other than the bizarre metaphors they tended to use in the first couple of episodes. I thought all their interactions this week were quite well written and gave us a clearer sense of their relationship than we'd…

Is "potentially playing Igor" a joke or for real? The recent movie and tv updates of fairy tales/classic novels have become so absurd I can't even tell anymore.

Literally every time I've seen @avclub-1eba9b4a9af24d47bdc5f3274fb227a1:disqus post here she's been attacking someone or wishing that someone or other would die. I'm sure she posts other things but I've never seen them: it's kind of a weird contrast to Todd who tends to be very genteel and professional in the comments…

I have the feeling that people who think HIMYM is bad are people who didn't see it until season 5 or 6, or catch random bits of it out of context. More than most comedies it's greatly improved by watching pretty much every episode from the beginning, and the quality really did go way downhill after the fourth season,…

Ah okay, sorry for the unnecessary snark. For some reason it just really annoys me when people ask questions in the comments that would be answered by actually reading the article.

Apparently you couldn't be bothered to read as far as the second paragraph of the review?

Ridiculously it looks like the choices change or something for different people (e.g. someone else mentioned Justified as being in the bromance category, which I didn't get). Very weird.
