As a nerdy teen following the "satirical a cappella" boom that briefly was a thing in the mid to late 1990s, I listened to a lot of Da Vinci's Notebook and Moxy Fruvous. Not until I saw "The Fly" did I get the reference in Green Eggs and Ham:
"Hey kids, listen up, so you wanna be sick,
'Cause your dinner looks like…

Fuck, man…

Dick Tracy is awesome for all the reasons Disney thinks it isn't. They wanted to create a solid mainstream comic book franchise but instead created a movie that appealed only to cinematography geeks, jazz fans, gays and cult movie fans.
This being the twentieth and not twenty-first century, Disney didn't have the good…

I can already tell which Hogwarts house they're each in.

The show looks objectively meh-to-okay, but it should be Twin Peaks High or some brand that isn't Archie. Honestly, a well animated, highly stylized prime-time take on the current Rebecca Sugar-kickstarted Archie and Jughead series would not be amiss. They may be a little disposable, but they capture that post-Whedon…

There's a word for this situation, and you have to have kept up with Ryan Murphy's castoff projects to know it. In the last fwo seasons of Glee, after everyone stopped watching, it got weird. Like, Community weird, with Jane Lynch's Coach Sue as a hybrid Jeff Winger/Abed figure, snarking and quipping caustically to…

Dead puppies can take care of themselves.
Dead puppies can't take things off the shelves.
Well, we never loved them anyway,
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la la la la!

At least with Grant Morrison on the job we'll be guaranteed Orgy Porgy.

What's the difference between me and you? Pokémon!

Poor Mike O'Malley- from "Guts" to "Yes, Dear" to "Glee," he has the misfortune of always, ALWAYS, being the best part of whatever he's in.

BoJack HorseManta.

Like Freddie Mercury. Pansexual but essentially heteroromantic, he had lots of sex with men and women but only had one truly serious, loving relationship, with a woman.

Bemused meaning "wryly amused" is a bit of an oversimplification- it's more for those situations where something is so confusing, disappointing, puzzling or wrong-headed that one can't help but be only the tiniest bit entertained by the situation.
If we want to use a word implying amusement, "bemused" is less accurate…

Realistically, if they're going to eventually do Dazzler and get into the "professional singer by day, superheroine by night" aspect, Taylor Momsen fits the vibe.

Am I the only one who noticed that "Jet Baby Theme Song" in the beginning of the game is a bald-faced ripoff of "Dreamin'" by Blondie?

That synthesized pan flute feels like the sound of mid-90s gaming to me. I remember it in the Genesis "Lion King" as well.

I think the Pokémon games will likely be dealt with more in their reprogrammed, expanded 1998 worldwide release. That said, Junichi Masuda's score seems to draw on John Williams in a genuinely organic way, with the sweeping, old-fashioned heroism of its adventure themes, and the old-timey Americana and jazz influences…

Really, given that Disney has expanded into less kid-targeting "prestige films" more and more lately, a reboot of "Song of the South" wouldn't be a terrible idea. I think a good screenwriter and director could examine the delicate nature of the "friendship" between a freedman and his former master's family, allowing…
