Yeah, I buy that (plus what everyone else said in this thread). I guess I wish they kinda called him out on this. Hudson says something about it ("You shouldn't fill her head with such tales" or something along those lines), and Malcolm dismisses his claim, which is dickish of course, but Hudson said it in a…

The hidden brilliance of the "none of this is canon" gag is that yes, they're referring to Star Wars mainly, but they're actually referring to the Phineas & Ferb canon. There are references and events that happen in the special that break the rules and arcs that have already been established in the show. The main…

I never quite got why Malcolm was telling horror stories about the gargoyles to his daughter, despite clearly working with them. I suppose he thought he was having light fun and that her fearful reactions were just thrilling reactions and not absorptions of future prejudices. Something about that feels way off, and I…

I figured most people would have found this episode lacking but I enjoyed it. I think Gravity Falls works a little better when it has a bit more freedom, when it's a lot more looser with its weirder elements, allowing for hilarious moments like Mabel's dream sequence and John Henry parody. The overall tone allows for…

I thought the episode was hilarious but yeah, I kinda thought the twins came off a bit too cruel. Also, Mabel -directly- seeing Pacifica as a rival seems a bit out of character, too. Mabel saw Pacifica more as a nuisance, but no one she really bothered to go up against since her interests were about just having fun.…

Cummings is pretty much always used for Pirate voices and Cajun voices (of course, other voices as well, but he's pretty much perfect for those dialects).

We talked about that line-read after the movie, and concluded that was -Pace- who said it, not Ronan. Like it was a practice read that was just SO GOOD that it made the final cut.

One thing about Brooklyn - everyone always says he's trying to be "cool" but I don't think that's his endgame. Brooklyn really is trying to make a connection. He's not necessarily trying to make a "friend," but he is trying to establish outside relationships beyond the clan. He's the most social of the team, and also…

Well, it had too big of a female fanbase, according to Paul Dini over on Kevin Smith's podcast.

Made a lengthy reply to gizmo1492 below.

I believe the incident you're referring to is CN. Stu Snyder wasn't trying to remove ALL cartoons from CN, but his philosophy was to bring CN in a heavily young-boy market, which included more live-action TV. This more-or-less tied into why shows like Young Justice and Tower Prep, the latter of which was live-action,…

Phineas and Ferb's scheduling isn't really strange. They've been airing new episodes on Monday on XD for the last six months or so at a pretty steady clip. Only the Star Wars special aired differently - Saturday night of last week.

This is an issue that kinda held me back with the movie (SPOILER) Chronicle.

I love that Demona only really tolerates Xanatos because he gives her stuff. The moment she has a chance she betrays him. Some of the best IDGAFs moments are in this show.

That actually reminded me a lot of High Noon (the movie, not the upcoming episode).

When I first saw that episode, I thought Macbeth's recounting was based on an actual past encounter (since I knew about the show being heavily plotted). When someone told me that no, he's just read it in a book he totally read, guys, I groaned pretty hard.

In relation to what everyone else said: Xanatos will both frustrate you and fascinate you. Once you get into his character, it becomes clear that Xanatos just likes to have STUFF "out" there. He has the money and brilliance to manipulate anyone and anything to his whim, and he just does it. Sometimes it goes wrong.…

That is Jeff "Motherfucking" Bennett, who has the greatest narration voice of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Weisman apparently based the Elisa/Goliath relationship on the Miranda/Bonkers relationship in Bonkers. It seems crazy to think about but if you watch the show (don't), the sentiment is indeed there.

Hahaha! That explains a lot. I just finished Mark of the Panther (MILD SPOILERS) and was confused that her mother was rocking the Nigerian garb. Then I realized she's supposed to be Nigerian, not Spanish. Thought the show implied the latter at first.
