You might have missed that it's a child's movie, with a child's understanding of how emotional states work.

She just wanted to be talked about. It's working.

And "Jessica Jones". One of the characters, pregnant through a rape, says, "Every second it's there, I get raped again and again." And given the abortion pill, she swallows it without a second thought.

Mistletoe for eaty taste good?

You have blenders, though? The blender scene in "Jessica Jones" is like your standard garbage-disposal scene, except that you can see inside it and know exactly what's going to happen when those fingers touch those whirring blades. Sometimes being able to see something is worse than not being able to see it.

I love you.

He's not a stereotypical New York Jew, though: he's a stereotypical Montreal Jew.

And bitchy, conniving Amber von Tussle barfing while riding in the tamest, wussiest amusement-park ride imaginable in "Hairspray". If there's a better way to show just what she's made of and gross out the audience at the same time, I don't know what it would be.

Then you haven't seen this, obviously. http://bluejacket.com/usn/p…

You sort of don't, though. It's not nearly as good as it used to be, and you wouldn't be missing much.

You know there's fan fiction for EVERYTHING, right? Literally everything. Without even looking for it I will guarantee there is erotic fanfic for The Fox and the Hound (same-sex interspecies romance!), any two or more characters from the Power Puff Girls, and Alice in Wonderland.

And that's the thing I can't figure out. Clothes obviously do come off, because Miss Evers removes her apron, the Countess still has clothing changes after she's dead, and the slenderer ghosts all wear Will Drake's new designs for the fashion show. But what about ghost hair? Would the lumberjack's hair simply not cut,…

And I don't know who did that nü-disco cover of "Knights in White Satin" for the boardroom scene and fashion show but it was awesome.

Kiddie vamps were all drained by Ramona, although did they become ghost vampires then? Maybe they're all still locked up behind that steel door, waiting for their next meal.

Those clothes come off.

She can toss off one-liners, but no, she's not a particularly good actress. She can wear the shit out of those costumes, though. If the award had been Best Clotheshorse, she probably would have deserved that.

No, the Jeffrey Baldwin case was about a little boy and his sister who were taken from their parents and given into the care of the maternal grandparents, who were only in it for the money: they were monsters, there's no other name for it, and the boy mercifully died after four years of unspeakable neglect and abuse…

I love that movie more than I can say, and the Philip Glass soundtrack is wonderful: the musical tracks are intercut with interview clips from the movie, and the "End Credits" track is hair-raising — a pretty, dreamy, arpeggiated tune laid over the re-enactment of the crime, gunshots and all.

Jesus, that's one of that saddest, awfullest things I've ever read, and the postscript to it (there's a link at the bottom of the page) makes it even worse. The judicial system is every kind of fucked up if it can allow something like that to happen.
