Thank you. Now I know there are three of us in the world who find Clancy Brown dreamy. Especially as Rawhide. *sniff*

Can I CUDDLE THE KRAKEN, instead?

No, I'm with you. I was disappointed in Percy, but I had fun with bits of it (Sean Bean and Kevin McKidd in Greek armor! halfway decent centaurs! the Maserati on display in the Lotus Casino! Medusa was a little bit fun). I cannot think of anything I really enjoyed about Clash.

400% MORE GIANT SCORPIONS THAN I NEEDED OR WANTED.

*solidarity fist-bump*

I'm guessing because despite Troy being basically ABOUT Greek Mythology... the actual movie really sucked all of the Greek mythology out of it. It didn't treat the gods as if they existed, etc.

Was anyone else deeply bothered by the fact that THOSE WERE NOT HONEYCRISP APPLES, THOSE WERE VERY OBVIOUSLY RED DELICIOUS APPLES? No? Just me? Carry on.

I'll admit, I'm not trying very hard, but it's still nice when the show doesn't go in the direction I think I've already foreseen. For example: I thought they were going to go with a whole deal where Charming's betrothed in the coach was actually Cinderella (albeit the most bitchy, whiny Cinderella we've seen; but…

Oh dear god, did you see that in the theater? Because I did. What was I thinking? Mercifully, I don't remember much.

Boy, that takes me back...

Can either the horror genre, or the zombie genre (which I would argue is merely a subset of the horror genre) be said to be their "infancy"? The zombie genre is decades old (even if all you're talking about is its preoccupation with post-apocalyptic survivalism), and the horror genre is inching up on two centuries. …

Well, agreed, but — it's possible to like them multiple bands, INCLUDING The Proclaimers.

Have you ever met a turkey? A 6-foot version of a turkey WOULD be scary. They're aggressive enough as it is, even though they're relatively small. (But they aren't THAT small, either.)

I never watch Supernatural. But I am almost tempted to tune in for the above-mentioned episode, if only to see whether their attempts to make the Pacific Northwest stand in for the New Jersey Pine Barrens is as delightfully ridiculous as it was when the X-Files did it for the fifth episode of their first season. …

I thought the point being made was "Han shooting Greedo before Greedo could get off a shot - apparently not OK", as a reference to the fact that Han *did* shoot first in the original and everybody was OK with that for years and years until Lucas seemed to decide that it was bad or something, so he changed the scene so…

Actually, I read that they bought the rights to Fables. Just in case, I suppose.

Even The Hobbit, though... I reread it recently for the first time in many years, and was surprised at how grim and downer it was towards the end. Betrayal! Anger! War! Death! ... Kids book? (I mean, yes, it's more of a kids book, it was stories he was telling to his kids, but seriously, it takes a dark turn.)

What strikes me is: 3 of the movies on this list are classic Disney, and others in the comments have mentioned things like The Lion King having its intense moments, and that is before we even get to BAMBI'S MOTHER OMG.

I... liked... very specific bits of it. That's the most I can say.

Considering the extraordinarily tiny fraction of the film that this represents, you don't think there will be something in the film to explain how Tony goes from "just a consultant" to "screw it, I'm suiting up and getting in there"?
