I went through a phase early on where I wanted Charlie, after giving back the Everlasting Gobstopper and being informed that he, in fact, won the Grand Prize, to tell Wonka to piss off. “Eat shit old man. I nearly died in your so-called factory and you’ve been yelling at us like an asshole all day.”

If the Gene Wilder version never existed, and all we had was the Tim Burton version, then yes, it would deserve to be 5th on this list.

It’s a great Sherman & Sherman score. I guess Potts needed a win after the “Toot Sweets” debacle. His automatic hair-cut machine at the carnival is pretty funny too. “Posh” and “The Roses of Success” are also mostly irrelevant to the plot, but they’re so good that A) Who cares? and B) I guess it’s part of Chitty’s…

Honorable mention for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He took buddy Ian Fleming’s treatment and made it very very much his own. Yes the movie runs long. I think they should have cut “Me Ol’ Bamboo.” Knowing Dahl, he probably enjoyed the number for its penis symbolism. The studio wanted a big dance number with Dick Van Dyke…

They did that with Titans too. Maybe it’s a Berlanti thing.

According to the “This Season on Willow” preview, Kevin Pollack’s Brownie does indeed show up. My estimation of Kevin Pollack over the years has been greatly improved thanks to his role in The Marvelous Ms Maisel. So, I’m fine with a one episode guest starring appearance. The special effects will be better. A brownie…

Here’s what’s great about Willow the Movie:

Pretty sure a half dozen of those have already been turned into musicals.

This. He’s also good in the Guardians Christmas Special. I’m feeling a little backlash to the backlash coming on.

“Cabin Fever, Yeah-h-h.”

My son (now 22) was at just the right age to watch this on DVD and along with Atlantis, he (meaning we) watched it over and over and over again. Treasure Planet grows on you. Maybe it’s Stockholm Syndrome, idk, but the Silver cyber/minotaur design and vocal performance is pretty good. I liked how he pronounced “Morph”…

I’m still happily shocked and traumatized by Rebecca Bunch WAXING HER ASSHOLE IN SONG (and DRAWING BLOOD!!) in the premiere ep of Crazy Ex. Just ... omg. Totally a “pilot episode” move as in “Well, if we don’t get picked up, at least we made the brass at the CW watch a bloody ass-waxing scene.” 

This. “It’s Strange World! We-eird Creatures! It’s Strange World! Ooh. Magical.”

Shout out to Monsters VS Aliens too. They also did a spin-off cartoon. Shoulda kept going - imagine all the kink they could have kept pouring into this. Giant Women, Slime Guy, Mad Scientist Restraints ... that’s half the content of DeviantArt right there.

This remains the greatest sequence Dreamworks has yet produced. Not only that, but it beats the Katy Perry video too.

True enough.

Dedra shows Syril gratitude by providing him and his mother a luxury apartment within the Empire’s newest battle station the “Death Star.” (“Don’t let the name scare you, your living quarters are ten times the size of what you’re used to now, decked out in the galaxy’s finest accoutrement, and, of course, personal…

There’s a YouTube vid where someone theorized the things the prisoners were making were the undercarriages of Imperial Probe Droids. I liked that theory. This ... was fine. It would be cool to find out that Narkina’s 3rd floor work group sabotaged every 20th unit - thus causing the Death Star’s dish to fail upon first…

Also gotta love that Brasso got to clock some stormtroopers with Maarva’s Brick! What a send-off. Her actual bodily remains got to punch some fascists.

Last nitpik - I heard Cassian say “Kill me or take me in” in his dialogue with Luthen. Maybe I heard wrong, but it gave the scene a parent/child callback to Maarva’s original abduction. Lmk if I’m wrong. I don’t watch with subtitles. But I’ll for sure watch this episode again (I’ve been watching every episode twice…
