I think about that every damn time I see product placement/"brand depositing" in something you need to put effort in to get to said advertising. (Example: There's a book published by a Disney where the characters, after adventuring for several chapters, suddenly need help from one of the Anaheim Angels… who were…

Is that the one with the magical flying dirtbike or am I confusing it with another weird-ass kids' movie?

I know adults who cannot stand that scene because Ralphie swears. Except… he doesn't? And the heavily implied child abuse isn't worse?

I saw "Christmas Story" for the first time under similar circumstances. Our town had a Christmas festival in the before-times, in the long long ago of circa 1984. One of the main events was a screening of "Christmas Story" in the old movie house. I remember very vividly being kind of in awe because this was the…

Whatever it is, whoever decided that should be the header image is getting a kick in the knee with a ribbon around it this Christmas. Those eyes…

I'm a sucker for trippy science fiction and I seriously need to read that book.

I… have honestly never considered that. Then again, "Bambi" honestly isn't that scary (except, of course, for That Scene, and maybe That Other Scene and That Other Other Scene depending on what pushes your buttons) compared to "The Lion King" or even "Land Before Time".

A merry merry holiday season to all you wonderful crazy AV Club peoples!

Cause the very fact that "It Runs in the Family"/"A Summer Story"/"A Christmas Story 2" exists is kind of fascinating… wait, those are all the same movie, right?

My mom, my sister, and I all watched it on AMC for the first time in forever a few days ago. We all agreed that the whole thing is just a dramatization of our worst anxieties. Also, there's not much difference between Kevin McAllister and Mac's mini-sociopath in "The Good Son", except at least the latter isn't…

There's a fantastic article about this here: http://dinogoss.blogspot.co…

Some 3D CGI movie advertised itself with the blurb, "An Animated 'Avatar'!" which gives me a bigger headache.

It's edited from "Dinosaur Revolution", which has just appeared on Netflix Instant.

I'm assuming the singing dinosaur is a much larger Maniraptor, like a Therizinosaur.

That's weirdly fascinating to me. Is he even averse to "Dinosaur Train" (the show I wish existed when I was a kid) and "Land Before Time" or just "realistic" talking dinosaurs?

You know, reading some of that guy's other posts, I wonder just how young he is…

I like to think of it this way:

Yeah, well, that's the Bone Wars for you. Cope and Marsh doing all kinds of stupid things just to see who could name more unique species. Modern paleontologists are *still* cleaning up their mess.

No, I'm saying that your childhood science books are probably outdated because scientists are learning new things all the time. It's, like, their job.
