How in the nine blue hells is Bruno Mars a niche-appealer(?) if my *mom* loves his album? That's unpossible!

Your imagined Bruno Mars is far stranger and more intriguing (though possibly less enjoyable to listen to) than the real thing, though you might like him anyway.

It's funny, by the time I was aware that the Superbowl Halftime Show was a thing (for reasons that are kind of embarrassing but in fairness to myself, I was a preteen girl at the time: I only started caring about halftime shows when the New Kids on the Block played one), the Halftime Headliner era had already started…

"A.I." is only sentimental if you don't understand how truly unsettling the final act is.

This has nothing to do with your post but ye gods, Disqus is weird…

In response to this question, I must remind everyone that "Super Mario Brothers: The Movie" came out THE SAME SUMMER as "Jurassic Park".

One of my great regrets is not watching and writing a funny review of "Kazam" while Shaq was playing for the Celtics.

"Comfort and Joy" and it's a really nice breather/character development episode set around Christmas.

Apparently. There's "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving", which is the more famous one where Snoopy makes dinner for everyone and Patty doesn't appreciate getting to eat jellybeans and popcorn instead of turkey and vegetables (yes, this was lost on me as a little kid).
