Strange Brew was also co-written by a guy named William Shakespeare. At least he deserved a "Story by" credit.

So he wrote "Loooooo KOO KOO KOO koo koo KOO KOOOOO"?

That's amazing. Here in Boston gyms close at 9 and are decorated so as to make everyone feel slightly less embarrassed about exercising in public.

Boy oh boy do I hate this song! After last week's "Love The One You're With" and now this, this feature is really hitting my personal bottom ten. Lovely to know it's not just me.

I've been recommending this movie for decades! It's like a slowly unfolding nightmare.

You think about everything!

Has Legit C_M ever weighed in on Fake CM?

Straight-laced cop noses around a sleepy community and uncovers a sinister cult populated by the town's leaders.

@avclub-f22e0a88b1120d673e9ad8ddf47312fc:disqus , your mention of "Phil Collins music" reminded me that I really, really like both Hercules and Tarzan, despite the fact that each is marred by a weird insistance on including a couple of vanilla pop songs. Hercules barely commits to being a musical, and by the time of Ta…

Very self-aware of you, @avclub-c30b17b451a2d904d45a4c895dbd4a62:disqus .

I don't mean to pick on it! I've never actually seen the whole thing. I just recall that, coming after the iconic early-to-mid-90s features, that one really struck a lot of people as comparatively minor. Just the notion of a David Spade vehicle is a bit suspect, you know? But I'm sure that's an unfair slight. I'll try…

@persia2:disqus  — of course! It works beautifully. But nonetheless, the animation in general struck me as a bit more "basic" somehow than I remembered.

About Jasmine: Aladdin came out in '92, and it's smack in the middle of this era (and I don't mean to act like that era is over) where moviemakers knew that they had to inject "the girl" with a little bit more personal agency, but they still had to end up in the same place. So you get movie after movie where the…

I'm usually a fan of punching, but tMan of Steel left me pretty cold. There was no escalation; it was just monotonous, top-volume punching for the last hour. I never thought I'd say this, but THAT was the boring part to me.

Which one are you talking about? Disney sure does hit those story beats hard, but that actually struck me as very refreshing here in the age of the hyper-convoluted blockbuster (Star Trek Into Darkness, which I liked anyway; Man of Steel, which I did not). With Atlantis, it's "here's the mission. Here's the team. Go!"…

True — I guess it's more of a design choice than an actual genre, but in the cases above I think it worked wonders to shake up the standard Disney template.

I remember Stargate being a touchstone for people back when Atlantis came out, but that's exactly the sort of distraction that fell away for me on my rewatch. Somehow the whole thing just played better now than it did a decade ago.

Buzz, that's a great point about Temple of Doom being better on the big screen. I had the fortune to see a marathon of the trilogy on a huge screen in the mid-90s, and it was amazing how so much of the annoying stuff fell away, and how well it played for a full audience. I think it may lose more than most films when…

@avclub-c30b17b451a2d904d45a4c895dbd4a62:disqus , I believe Atlantis is set in 1915 or so, but your point stands. I suppose we could say that anachronistic behavior is a Disney hallmark (check out, say, all of Pocahontas), but maybe it sticks out more in Atlantis because it's a movie that flirts with being a…

Oh wait, one more thing @GhaleonQ:disqus :
