Order is my favorite of the movies, because I think it manages to make a number of improvements on its source material. Especially pacing. Also, it's the film where Daniel Radcliffe really got the whole acting thing down.

I'm still convinced you can walk away from the last movie believing that Snape is Harry's real father if you don't know the actual story.

I want to agree with you, but even with the caveat, it still feels like a betrayal of Jerry Orbach.

Also the way it happened. I probably could've bought him watching a family doing stuff together and thinking that might be worth experiencing. But a girl blinking her eyelashes at him? You're what, 10 years old, kid? Don't try to tell me that's more appealing than Baloo and King Louie.

Take the red pill for Gaston!

I still don't understand the need for another live-action version when Ever After exists.

Killing off 2-D animation isn't significant enough to you?

Meg really doesn't get enough love.

The song is fun. The reprise is creepy as hell.

The musical adaptation (not sure if they're working on bringing it to Broadway, or just showing it regionally) makes the gargoyles' imaginary status a lot more explicit.

Meh. Might've done Joffrey some good.

Yeah, I don't get the love for "Friends on the Other Side." It could be great, but there's Too Much Exposition.

Not sure it counts as "snitching" when they sent the release directly to the media themselves.

That, or there's a reason Wingardium Leviosa's the first spell everyone learned.

I'm not sure whether your coworker saved you from the madness, or deprived us all of some much-needed clarification.

Me, too. I remember playing Number Munchers in school and hating every second of it, because I just knew it was only a matter of time before I got something wrong or ran into a Troggle and killed the poor little green guy.

I came in here fully expecting something like that to be the theme of this essay, and I gotta say, I'm glad it wasn't.

I think there's a third distinction between "fake news" and "fake news that comes without satirical disclaimers" you're not making.

Which is still relatively recent, if you're going at least as far back as the colonial days. ;)

I had a minute (or five) of panic when I clicked on a friend's page and saw it. Especially since I'd just been talking to him a couple of hours ago.
