"Planes" Is Not By PIXAR!

Speaking of, when did Minions become the new Ponies / Stormtroopers / Sonic the Hedgehog characters?  In the past month, fanartists have crossed them over with every f*cking thing on God's green Earth.

"Wait, I didn't hallucinate that show as a child?"

@avclub-f73c955e2c1f51451a682f5c1ce0e867:disqus Like hell he doesn't!  Dude's making theme park rides and animation for a living!  No, I am NOT jealous at all!

You're aware that they swapped out "Honey I Blew Your Eardrums Out" for "Captain EO" a few years back, yes?  Go and fulfill your childhood memories!

"Gorillion" means "Number of adult gorillas who could comfortably sit in an average-sized movie theater."

One of the strangest obscure mythical beasts.

Yeah, sounds like it.  We're not told how old the "young-in" is and I don't recall ever trying to shove 8-track tapes into a boombox, since they're clearly not the same thing.

As a friend on Twitter pointed out recently, "Those brooms are a recipe for terrible injuries you'll never be able to explain."

The most mind-boggling thing about those quotes (aside from the obvious inability to sympathize with a little girl for Christ's sake) is that Rue is explicitly described as dark-skinned in the book.  So they're not only horribly racist, they also fail at fifth-grade level reading comprehension.

The reason given I've heard from (mostly male) PIXAR fans who still refuse to see "Brave" is, "Well it's just another Princess movie, right?"  And I'm thinking, "Yeah, like all those other Princess movies that focus on the strained relationship between a teenage girl and her mother and rely heavily on the dream-logic…

Aw, beaten!  But yeah, "birds are a kind of dinosaur" should come right after "whales are a kind of mammal" in first grade science these days.

^^ Hell, I thought the animated adaptation of "A Scanner Darkly" was terrific.  I guess I'm saying I just want more western animation specifically for adults.

Pretty sure it was his uncle.  They had a follow-up episode where he comes back with PTSD.  Snark all you want but consider: if you're five and a beloved relative who's been gone for a while suddenly starts acting different once they're back, it's terrifying and confusing, especially since no adult seems to want to…

From the headline, I was under the impression that Netflix was going to drop the "until" feature in the Instant Queue, which actually would be an incredibly dickish move. Instead, I can still see that I have until Saturday to watch "Arthur and the Invisibles" and the remaining ten episodes of "HR Puffinstuf" (guys……

Look up the video for "Voices That Care" and ten (imaginary) bucks says you'll be singing "We're Sending Our Love Down the Well" along to the chorus.

Kind of. But in The Time Traveler's Wife, the Time Traveler quickly learns, thanks to all his time-traveling, that the little girl in the past he keeps accidentally time-traveling to will grow up to be his wife. There's a "you can't fight fate" theme in the book that makes this less weird.

Fuzzy parental memories led me to anticipate that both "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease" would be upbeat, cheesy musicals.

On the one hand, that sounds amazing. On the other hand, that sounds even more obnoxious than unskippable previews.
