Actually the short that came with "The Incredibles" was "Boundin'"; "Jack Jack Attack" was technically a dvd extra.

Are the Avatar sequels basically gonna balloon into James Cameron's "8 1/2"? Or at least his "Synedoche, New York"?

yes, queen

I dunno what you've been watching but JLO and Harry are horrible judges, all you have to do is look at the stark contrast between their critiques and Kelly Clarkson's when she was a guest judge. It's night and day between Harry's trivial and trying-too-hard-to-be-clever judging and Clarkson's proper insightful advice.

What? I actually meant it.

I'm quite partial to that waltz that was playing over Peter Capaldi's death/diamond punching montage last year.

Here's to hoping he does more animation scores. His work on Kung Fu Panda and The Little Prince were magnificent.

you see, what no one wants to talk about or even admit is that the very concept of Superman himself is outdated and completely out of step with the real world as its stands now, Superman is an adolescent fantasy, where Batman works because of his humanity and Wonder Woman works because is the embodiment of social…

I dunno, Mandy Moore was already past her peak relevance when she did Tangled so I don't really count that.

Wasn't it commissioned in response to the huge success of the Gilmore Girls reruns on ABC family?

I dunno, at the time with every single prestige show having a huge cinematic plot-driven storyline, it was really refreshing to watch a show like Bunheads where it was all just aimless character studies.

the whole series is on freeform's totally free, no login required, streaming site.

geeze, you must really not like this article huh?

I feel like Jane Austen movies would deserve a list all their own. "Clueless", the Keira Knightly "Pride and Prejudice", or hell, all the versions of Pride and Prejudice, including "Bridget Jones' Diary"

"Sleepless and Seattle", "You've Got Mail" and "His Girl Friday" were severely robbed.

no matter how solidly executed something is, no one is gonna care about your movie in a year's time if they don't care about your characters. There's a reason people can pinpoint exactly who Han Solo or Dorothy or Scarlett O'Hara is or even the Terminator many, many years since they were popular as opposed to naming…

Yeah it was thing, it's natural for that to happen when you have an immersive enough make-believe world. That sort of response is great if say, you were making a video game, not so much for a film franchise where you have to have bankable characters that an audience is going to want to follow.

With Gone with the Wind and inflation, You try having your movie have an initial run lasting 4 years as well as 8 hyped up theatrical re-releases in the span of 60 years before home video and television and not have it be the highest grossing whatever the hell of all time after inflation-adjustment…

The answer to this is easy: No one cares about Avatar's characters. It was all spectacle and environmentalism with no heart.

I think you hit it right there, where Star Wars aimed for a more timeless story, Avatar had a variety of tired, old 80's and 90's action movie tropes put in a sci-fi blender and came out fundamentally dated. Compare that with say, The Force Awakens and its female main character and black lead and lack of a forced love…
