Well, as long as the dog is being well cared for, I think it's pretty sweet. It's tragic, but it's also the fact that those dogs need love too, of course.

I can't tell if you're joking (probably not) - I just don't remember that theme at all. I remember a penguin dancing, and I remember the theme being something like, "be yourself" or whatever else every other tame, generic kid's movies has. Wasn't the dancing penguin an outcast and not get at something else, and…

Oh, I hear that. I get that. I think, to some extent, having that in this sort of medium - a kid's movie - is a bit more safe, because you know it's not going to the extremes that a Gilliam movie might, or tackle it the way an adult movie would, anyway. But it's still challenging and weird.

Happy Feet was pretty terrible, though.

Yeah, there was a clown that does die, who had an orangutan. There was also a woman who had an entire hotel of pets, and she disappears and the place gets raided, and the pig and the aforementioned dog that almost drowned, and a bunch of other pets, go on a rescue mission to save the animals that were captured by…

Eh, to be honest with you, I think that was kind of fine. It was sad, but the dog lived and became a main character in the movie and his appreciation to the pig for saving his life was the driving plot of a lot of what happens.

I absolutely love My Cousin Vinny, and I was sort of joking - I have seen real trials play out (but again, I didn't personally engage in them) and knew that some of its elements were clearly realistic, because the whole joke of the movie is that the main protagonist is clueless. It'd be much less funny if they mucked…

That makes sense. I've seen references to judges telling people they'd hold them in contempt (and I've seen what that means in My Cousin Vinny, of course), but I assume, then, if I stood up and yelled, "MURDERER!" at someone, I'd instantly be held in contempt and fined, not just warned?

To be clear, though, I'm not necessarily saying your argument is bullshit, but I think I am saying the argument is logically sound, but sort of wasted in that context when I think it's somewhat malicious and preying on social biases in this covert way.

Personally, I think the GoT argument is a bit weaker. I get the logic there, but I also think that sense could be made about Sam's weight in GoT, in that perhaps he just eats more of the slop (or whatever) they eat. Maybe he has a slow metabolism. Maybe he hasn't walked enough consistently in the world to really burn…

Jesus, for a show whos main character is a lawyer, you'd think… my god. The courtroom aspects became SUCH a stab in the eye, that I'm not sure I ever want Foggy and him to reconcile and continue lawyering, if that's how lazy they're going to be with this.

I'm not a lawyer. But I've watched lots of classic Law & Order, and My Cousin Vinny, so I'm pretty sure I know a thing or two… ahah, just kidding. But in seriousness, even not being a lawyer, it was infuriating how wrong it all was. The moment where he called his own defendant hostile, and started giving a…

How do real lawyers and courts deal with the idea of someone standing up and emotionally calling a defendant a murderer? Does it just mean screening everyone who's allowed to sit in the audience? Wouldn't people just try to do that to get away with murder, basically, by staging fake accusations in court just to get a…

Ah man. That man was born for that role.

I agree with you.

I'm not a comics reader, but what you're describing sounds like it could have been so, so much better. The world did not expand enough this season to justify that quote from Jesus there. I guess, not to mention, we barely saw the Hilltop people. Jesus disappeared, and all we get is lots of Saviors… like, the D-list…

I hear a lot of praise for Kim Dickens, but well… to be honest, I think she was brutally terrible in the show. I can't separate it from the bad writing of her character, but I do know for certain she didn't even remotely elevate that material. At all. I feel, not to judge you or whatever, that people seem to not be…

Yeah, that's one thing that was really funny and lame about that episode where they got to Hilltop. "Your world is about to get a whole lot bigger."

You thought the acting was stronger on Fear than the vanilla TWD? I feel like maybe you saw a vastly, vastly different show than I did.

Whoa, that's weird. The pilot was good, but the first season was quite bad. Andrea, Dale? Lots of redshirts, Lori and Shane hooking up. A lot of it terribly written. It was pretty awful, and it didn't fare well with critics, etc. I thought it was pretty much known that, around season 4, the show amped up in quality…
