The number of people who apparently missed the fact that this is a list of the top ten best-selling US mass-produced beers is amazing.

The story is that, after a screening of Cocteau's brilliant 1946 version (which has a marvelous, rather lion-like Beast), Greta Garbo turned away from the "romantic ending" and said "Give me back my beast."

It may or not be "Disney's best modern film" (i'd plump for "Aladdin" for that honour) - as a film i'll allow it's pretty good but it's a crappy version of "Beauty and the Beast".

DIsney's "Beauty and the Beast", while beloved of people who are unfamiliar with the original story, is a travesty, stripping the story of subtlety, and turning the plot inside out.

Personally, i found it irrelevant when it came out and even more so today.

I read Fairport Convention's "Meet on the Ledge" at my mother's funeral…

What pop culture reminds you of the goodness of humanity?

What world do you live in?

Quite likely, his PR people arranged the thing, for some consideration to the show. That's how these things work.

I might be remembering wrong - was Spider-Man 2 the one with Sandman? If not, i take it back.

Allegro non Troppo - a sort of Italian "Anti-Fantasia", setting animation to works of classical music, the whole of which is rather non-kid-friendly … and the only sequence that's not something-you-might-not-want-your-kid to see in an R/PG13 way, the story of a scrawny stray kitten in the ruins of a bombed-out house,

"Watership Down" and "The Plague Dogs" should not be watched - or read - by ANYone.

…the pop resonance of the best comic-book adaptations, like Spider-Man 2 or The Dark Knight.

Movie to promote. Mentioned in the article.

The last film that actually scared me in the sleep-with-a-flashlight, nightmares-for-a-week manner was Disney's "Snow White" - the Evil Queen occasionally sort of peeks out of my subconscious and reminds me she's still there, sixty-plus year later.

Yeah. Now, it's forty-six years since i got out of the Navy, so maybe my memory is off or the Army does things different, but the books seem off to me - i remember one sequence where he found some 5.56 mm brass, and he was wondering if it was from actual military or civilian rounds; isn't military ammo headstamped?

Where? And can you pay my travel?

Dugout Doug, the Hollywood general, would be a perfect fit for Trump.

Classic Marvel Comics stuff.
