Really? Two songs from Enchanted and two songs from Pixar (which is Disney the same way Marvel and Star Wars are- should we included “Jedi Rocks” on this list*) but no “Once Upon A Dream” from Sleeping Beauty?

*No.  The answer is no, we shouldn’t.

Call me crazy, but why does Superman even need to be remotely “built” at all? If the conceit is that he’s super-strong because of the different effects of the yellow sun, why not just have him be an average-looking dude? Maybe leaning towards generally fit, but not shredded looking.

Ie, just find Christopher Reeves

Hidden in the subtext?  When Buffy sleeps with Angel, he literally turns into a a different person, who happens to be a monster.  The metaphors were never that subtle.

I have to assume that the first best would be 10 Things I Hate About You, which would have to be in the running for best teen movie of the 90s, period full stop.

But wrightstuff is right, that was a stacked year for teen movies: https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/all-1999-teen-movies-ranked/

(I don’t know how

A 12 week schedule for something like this would be tight but not insane.

However, having only 12 weeks to prep it, let alone without a script... for a movie that VFX heavy, that’s insane.

Among the actual population, or among the people reading this website?  Because while the writers of the website might have all been born after Night Court went off the air, I’m pretty sure most of the readers are pretty firmly in the 30-50 range.  The commenters certainly are.

Fred Sabherhagen’s Swords series is absolutely dying to get a streaming series treatment.

I re-watched Forest Gump recently, and it struck me how much more realistic the CGI in this movie was than in modern day films. I think it comes down to its more limited use to expand upon what was already present, rather than trying to render the entire environment digitally”

I think a lot of this comes down to the

Oh, I’ve bought plenty of used books, movies, CDs, etc over time.  The artists did get paid for those at least in their original sale.  

Came here to say essentially the same thing, and you did it far better.  I regret I have but one star to give.

As someone who works in the film industry crewing for studio projects, and is an independent filmmaker as well, I can assure you that you’re wrong. Below the line crews get paid for the jobs, but most of the above the liners (directors, actors, writers, etc) get significant portions of their pay from the back-end. In

The problem with Yoda doing all the acrobatic Force flips is that its fucking boring, and it diminishes his power. The guy that walks into a lightsaber fight carrying nothing and still walks out the winner? That’s the biggest badass.

Thank you for the rest, though, the rundown on fencing theory was genuinely cool!

Yoda shouldn’t even be using a lightsaber, any fight with him using one is dumb as hell.”

THIS, one THOUSAND times over. It actually pisses me off I only have one star to give you.

ED1 is played straight horror, and mostly hits that target, but it’s also low-budget enough that it’s unintentionally funny at times (although given Raimi and Campbell’s output since, maybe “unintentional” isn’t totally fair). ED2 is completely intentional, though.  It’s meant to be funny.

Not enough, not for me, anyways. If I don’t own the server, I don’t *really* have control over anything on it. If Google wanted to, they could shut down Drive tomorrow and there’s not really anything anyone could do about it.

If you can’t hold it in your hand, it’s not really yours.

Nah.  I think people deserve to get paid for their work, I just prefer the ownership model to the one-sided rent version that the entire tech world seems to be marching towards.

That sucks. I’m sorry to hear that- hopefully it was insured or at least something you could replace some or all of.

But at least with physical media you’re not dependent on the whims of international corporate conglomerates.

Further than I’d go, but you do you. Or do your Blu-Rays. Whatever.

Stockholders don’t give a fuck about legacies.  Stockholders nowadays look about as far ahead as the next quarterly earnings report.

Physical.  Fucking.  Media.
