Captain Tsubasa has been remade so many times (including as Inazuma Eleven), but it works every time.

Thanks, Wolfman. It's Pokemon I always think of when the success of mobile games and "whales" comes into play. I recall people complaining at the time that REALLY playing the game required purchasing 2 Game Boys or Game Boy Colors, a Game Link Cable, and 2 different copies of Pocket Monsters. I shook my head sadly at…

Is there young children's entertainment in any artform that is more complex from the 1900s?

True! We Can’t Live Without Cosmos is the better movie, I think, and deserves its awards, but the only reason it hasn't happened already for Herzfeldt is that DeWit's Father And Daughter is an absolute classic. Give Don some proper fame and see how it goes.

It's not that amazing. Until 2004, the Academy typically rewarded great artwork, some Tom And Jerrys aside. They've been on a decade long brainmelt, though.

I really do love Mastodon taking themselves just seriously enough but not too seriously, but this article made me appreciate them when they were just underground badasses who finally got in the right band.

I rolled my eyes at Sting versus Helmsley and The Rock versus Cena, but I will watch just for McMahon versus Undertaker. Good God.I'm a at work conference so I don't have time to fully articulate this thought, but I've been a huge Shane fanboy since his introduction, and I could not be more excited for this storyline…

I'm so sad I'm at a stupid work conference through Wednesday and don't have time to dig into the show with Shelby, Girard, and the rest. Trust me, @weaselsoup:disqus, I had the same whiplash you did. (Disclaimer: I ADORE Jacobs, O'Doherty, and Rust.) "Oh, come on, him? Is this the television version of some bad indie…

"The relationship he had…was not a good one for him. Probably not a great one for her, although there were benefits for her! But in the end, she was probably not a happy camper."

Alexandra Lawn put out an L.P. last year in her new 2-person group, Otherwhile. It is okay. https://play.spotify.com/al…

I thought the same of Harper Lee when it was assigned to me in high school.

No, it doesn't. It also doesn't diminish the WORK, but lots of breakthrough artists turn out to be people who only had 1 thing to say and spent however long, pre-fame, crafting that thing. Lee had 1 thing to say, mostly to 12-year olds, she said it, and we thank her. But it leaves her an enigma and blank slate as an…

Adam Brody would have to wear some lifts to play me, but that's the only upgrade from me to him. The wavy hair, the voice, and the general "bro but with a jittery, nerdy affectation" make it a good pick. You may have to throw a little Adrien Brody in there, too, but I could imagine either of them playing educators…

I kind of thought like Regis Philbin, too, because of the morning show ties.

I remember him kidnapping someone and having a horrifying parody of A Christmas Carol's 2nd half, the Ghost Of Christmas _ part.

I may be wrong, but I thought that was just the last episode of Season 2, not the Christmas special. (If you watched it on Hulu, it's missing that episode.)

If there is a legitimate business book on Lego, I would certainly read it. Unlike a lot of new/"less serious" industries, they seem to have been brilliant at the business side of things. Even though they didn't get ruthless for 15 years or so, they were ready with some tricks from day 1.

I have been salivating for this since it was announced. Arfin's a talent, Rust should have been a star a few years ago, O'Doherty's the best Oceanic comedian of this decade, Jacobs has a balance of abilities that is totally unique to Hollywood/is 1 of of my 5 celebrity crushes, and the vulnerability all 3 of the stars…

I mean, yeah. There was a world before Kraftwerk and Yellow Magic Orchestra. This is what people danced to back in the day, no?

This is true. In terms of the top-level popular culture, there were a good amount of singles but only a handful of albums, none of which had Swift's reach. Red actually was interesting, and 1989 was garbage, but if you're the "greatest" in a bad year, you're still the greatest. I can't get mad at the Grammys, just…
