I'd like to have seen the early Final Fantasy games too, for comparison! (And, OK, because I can't get enough talk about FFVI.) Fun article!

It's the closer analogy because it was a music system that was popular for a brief time and was then largely supplanted by a new technology. I'm surprised to have gotten such a strong reaction from a few iPod die-hards, frankly.

You will find the kingdom of… the gnoooomes!

What I love about Cookie Monster is that, in the classic years anyway, you can actually see him analyzing everything anyone tells him, searching for angles on cookies. Someone tells him something, there's a beat, maybe a cock of the head or a roll of the eye, and then he's found a way to link it to cookies. It's some…

The AV Club
I Turned Out Fine for the Most Part

Well, sure. But not 8-tracks, surely, which are the closer analogy.

I have no interest in listening to it, I mean. In the act of trying it. Maybe I'd like it, based on my taste profile I probably wouldn't (of course I've heard a song or two here and there, just not a whole album), but I don't care either way. As I specified, it's NOT that I actively avoid it, or avoid it out of…

You still have an iPod?

I have never listened to a Radiohead album. It's not that I actively boycott them, even though their fans are off-putting, I just have no interest.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What do I win?

I wonder if he took it with him to the set of Murder, She Wrote for his multiple appearances.

Does anyone else get bothered by the fact that the poster plane would be far too long if untangled?

A complete oral history of Airplane! must take account of the story that Barbara Billingsley's great-grandchild told in the comments section of a listicle I wrote last month: http://www.flickchart.com/b…

I think these are unusually bad answers (no offense, folks!) to the question posed. The Simpsons 1-9 to teach an AI what it means to be human? I don't think so.

I also hated it, it was one of the most painful movie-going experiences I've had, and I am NOT opposed to long, abstract movies where nothing happens.

"Most people calling themselves feminists at that time would have canned Joss Whedon."

I agree. Basically the twee Aaron Sorkin.

The 70s were a pretty progressive time for gender tropes, honestly. Whedon uses some alternative tropes, for lack of a more precise phrase, but they're barely younger than anything else, and just as tired.

Very surprised at the omission of Beasts of the Southern Wild. Also, I really do feel that From Up on Poppy Hill is the equivalent of an Ozu film. And I'm sure we can all agree that none of these movies top an Ozu film.

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. I want the 50th anniversary cottage, but am only in my 7th or 8th year. I also want the 100 million gold cottage, but have about 4% of the money I need for it.
