And… now I'm sucked into watching the entire 10th Anniversary Concert one-YouTube-video-after-another style. So good. I remember watching it, like, a million times in high school.

Actually, if you're looking for a Japanese adaptation with an all-Japanese cast that came out just last year, here you go: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/ori…

As someone who had taught introductory linguistics for many years, and has spent much of that time debunking language myths, I've found that people tend to assume that Formal Written English = The Correct English. As if Moses brought down the rules for formal written English along with the Ten Commandments when he…

This is conflating "grammar" wih orthography though. Spelling by its nature as an artificial construct needs to be codified (although once a system is established there is more wiggle room within it than is often believed).

I am appalled to discover that the terrifying Gonzo's-internet-date puppet from the new (already cancelled) Muppet show is apparently the new norm and not a horrible abberation that we were all just going to forget.

Oh man, that King-Friday-is-insane theory makes the show ten times more interesting. No wonder Prince Wednesday has to work several minimum-wage jobs to support the family…

The boring explanation is that it's [Nippon Ham] [Fighters] not [Nippon] [Ham Fighters] but the latter is really the funner mental image. A bunch of guys in uniform brandishing baseball bats, just wailing on a pile of ham.

And not just any old thug, but "Head Thug." That's only one promotion away from Vice-President for Thuggery, Henchmanship and General Goonery.

Also, the 1990 movie was puppeteered by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, so therefore awesome.

Hehe… just imagined Don Draper doing that Wolverine turkey bit.

There are so many terrifying quotes in that article I don't know where to begin. Maybe "In a now notorious operation, Voronoff grafted slices of ape testes into those of rich and ageing men hoping to regain their former vigour"?

Shh… don't point out the cracks in the wall. Why, it's almost like you're saying that the classification of people into generations that behave in uniform fashion is a largely arbitrary and facile pseudoscience!

The only improvement I can think of is Antonio Banderas' wig. So maybe re-make the entire movie again with the exact same quality, and also make sure that that one wig is really top-notch this time.

Yeah, I read this and thought "I wish I had a hobby I loved this much."

Yeah, I was like, by '90s kids do they mean either (19)'30s kids or (20)'10s kids? Because I'm pretty sure everyone else has seen Lord of the Rings.

I was a high school girl when this came out, and mostly I felt empowered by discovering that I was pretty good at calculus. But…or evil magic, I guess.

The Craft was huge among my group in 1996, who were the exact demographic mentioned in the article ("weird" high school girls). A whole bunch of my friends decided they were going to be in a coven, etc. I was a little eye-rolly about it at the time, but in retrospect, good for them.

"He is survived by his bastard cousins who killed him."

I'm a book reader who doesn't watch the show but likes to keep up with it. So, I guess… me? In which case… thank you once again for your service AV Club.

I don't know if it was intended, but I saw it as rubbing some extra salt in the wound for Nick. See, Sam's not only got Jess, and not only got one alive dad, but TWO alive dads.
