Of course 2 isn't scary, but Dream Warriors still has moments that can be genuinely scary (Freddy puppeting the kid walking off the building). Freddy didn't really stop being scary until 4, The Dream Master. When a hell hound resurrects your villain by pissing fire on his grave and therefore unsanctifying it, its all…

Wow, you guys got scooped by NPR?

I love Tim Cop so much Meredith. So, so so much. I'm so happy it is on the upper end of the list.

Agreed 110%!!! I agree so much I agree to an impossible degree.

I never remember the name of the actor who played Larry, so when he shows up in stuff I always just say," Isn't that Larry and his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl?"

-"He died the way he wanted to, in ladies' lingerie."
-"Excuse me?"
-"A heart attack while walking through the women's department."

I was sooooo bummed to miss this at Screamfest, but my friends who went loved it. I didn't really like his first film, Excision, but I'm super looking forward to this one.

This would only be like #15.

Ah, Civic Center, the place where I a man pee for the first time. He was homeless and peeing on a tree, and I was about 8 and it took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Cherished memories.

I couldn't speak to Tiana, or Mulan or Pocahontus, since I barely remember those movies, and I haven't seen Brave.

And yes, agreed on Snow White's choice. I actively choose to clean up after my boyfriend so I don't have to live in his mess, I empathize with her.

Now i want to rematch Pocahontas, Frog Prince, and Mulan to see how active they are vs. how passive the male leads may become in response.

Clearly I need to watch the film again because I don't remember any lynching undertones. Also I watched it first as a child, so its harder to be critical as an adult when your first 87 viewings came before you developed a critical eye. I still watch and love Xanadu for the same reason.

Oh, agreed. I'm just trying to figure out where I'd place both of them in the most active to most passive princess and prince list and where those two intersect, like Cinderella is the most feminist pre-Ariel princess, yet she also has a very masculine, active prince, yet Cinderella gets rescued by magic and that…

But Aladdin still has to rescue Jasmine in the end, so he'll still first a foremost the male, assertive character. Granted she's more active during the third act in overthrowing Jafar, but still, she is a feminine character and more passive than a Disney prince.

It sounds way better than when we did that at slumber parties as 12 year olds. Then we only had pizza, and my theater girl friends would get mad at me when I explained why Ariel wasn't a feminist character and therefore sucked, and their defense was always, "But Ariel has better songs."

Zwarte Piet is basically just racist, racist Krampus.

All of my girlfriends noticed. Oh how we noticed. When Belle showed up we were like "Yee-haw!" Then we got on our Gloria Stenem-reading horses (those are the kind who all gallop at equal speeds) and rode into the non-gender-specific sunset.

Belle. Belle didn't. She actively rebuked Gaston and wanted to hang out reading until she had to save her father. She slowly falls in love with The Beast and chooses to marry him at the end, but that wasn't her goal. Her goal was to save her father and make the best of a bad situation after she had done so.

Only if your feet have never been in another shoe before.
