BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS IN THE BOOK.

Yeah, it's definitely in the category of movies you love as a kid but should avoid ever rewatching as an adult.

If you listened closely, some of it practically was its own punchline. "Something something blah blah to ship nonexistent fruit juice to Palermo! Now you can't give money for this sort of thing, it's just daft. I think it is, anyway. I could tell you some more about this fruit juice…" and everybody yelled, "No!"

Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender rides an ostrich-horse thingy. Maybe the ostrich cowboy was a misfit in the sense of being a proud loner on a journey of self-discovery, perennially conflicted over whether he really wants to return to the society that cast him out.

"Subtext" is an anagram of "buttsex." Coincidence?

My mom had to leave the room at the part in The Little Drummer Boy when the lamb gets run over.

I start whistling "Silver and Gold" any time I'm forced to be near a jewelry counter for too long.

My English teacher in twelfth grade was a complete idiot who always wanted us to read aloud in class, presumably because of how much time it killed, and he saw nothing wrong, on any level, with doing this with The Sound and the Fury. It was my turn once when I turned a page and came to a lengthy block of Dilsey's
