I don't believe we know for sure that Gustav was Jacquelyn's brother. We actually have no idea who exactly she is as far as I can tell. There was a whole article I just read theorizing who she could be related to. My bet is that she's one of the Snicket's since there are a few. One is named Jacque and if they pulled a…

Aasif Mandvi as Uncle Monty totally broke my heart! His effusive warmth was so effective for me that even though I knew it was coming(I've read the books) I was still upset when he died.

He's very specifically dense) BUT young girls are most often quantified by their beauty. One of the first things they are taught is to recognize said beauty with…

I always loved Movie Tonight and The Light that Failed as a sort of look at M*A*S*H* getting obsessed with a fandom. It's pretty adorable.
