I’ve read about the required Disneyland employee practices and they are ridiculous and sound hellish, but that’s the insidious controlling nature of the employer, rather than the actual liking of Disney. I realise there’s a dichotomy in the idyllic fantasy they try to create and the awful methods employed, but that’s

I saw your post above and was compelled to comment. I find it particularly strange that Disney, given the all-consuming cultural behemoth that it is, is a sticking point. Particularly as it’s been the gateway to more “mature” fantasy etc. for generations and so people are bound to have, at the very least, some

Honestly, it seems a little hypocritical for people to be particularly hung up on Disney fandom as a source of contempt, particularly when most notable Disney films retain some essence of their usually darker source material (and the internet can quite easily reveal how thematically mature Disney films can be even

Seriously, outside of cities, the likelihood of giant boomers leaping across roads is huge.

I just rewatched Groundhog Day (having not seen it for over a decade) and realised how terribly creepy Murray’s tactics in pursuing MacDowell are. I only found it mildly amusing when I was younger anyway (a few sequences are still solid), but I’m not interested in watching it again.

On the other hand, I’m really

Honestly, I rather like the conversation, which is sometimes entertaining. Choosing a hairstyle is by the far the more arduous and nerve-wracking process. I envision what an interesting new hairstyle might look like, feel completely insecure about being able to pull it off, and ask for them to shear all the hair off

I’ve been rewatching Cheers to relax as well. I remember seeing a few comments here on Jezebel a while back about how disturbing some of the events are in the series and so was curious. While I agree there are a few instances of genuinely frightening threats of violence played for slapstick (although I personally

Brian Kilmedead was just trying to set up a terrible joke where “Kool-Aid and the Gang” was the hilarious punchline...

Now playing

It’s not the best song, but I’ve always appreciated M.I.A being involved in this song, which highlights the sheer awesomeness that is Kuduro from Luanda, Angola. The sheer level of innate rhythm in a Luandan nightclub (or wherever there is music really) is pretty much unparalleled.

Ross and Rachel were terrible for one another (I reached new levels of hatred for Ross in The One with all the Jealousy and it was exacerbated from there on out). Contrast them with Sam and Diane, which had sparkling performances so brilliantly rooted in emotional rawness, but the incompatibility was never, ever

Ross was pretty bloody terrible (credit to Schwimmer for making him conceivably tolerable), but my university halls are suffering more from pantry raiders than panty raiders currently, and so I understand his grievance. The outburst was insane though.

Now playing

Just want to point out that, contrary to the commercials, the burgers are NOT better at Hungry Jack’s. Also, there’s these gems were inflicted upon Australian children everywhere waking up to watch Cheez TV (RIP).

Thomas the Tank Engine and Paddington were my favourites when I was really small (and then also when I was much older). My mum and dad read the complete Thomas collection on practically a daily basis for four years or so and didn’t die of boredom, so they are pretty well-written.

Yes, it is, uh, fabulous from beginning to end. Watch in order and make sure to watch the specials.

This film would be funnier with Alison Brie and Rebel Wilson as the leads.

At least she doesn’t have to do Pennence...

EDIT FOR CORRECTIONS: Also time to share first Star Wars memories (as a short distraction from the horror going on around us): I was maybe one and half and we were at one of my aunt’s for dinner. My uncle was going through the trilogy on VHS and I distinctly remember my dad sitting me down on his lap to watch The

This child gives me a new hope for the galaxy...

Up next on Morning After:

“Apocalypse Now: A Plea, not a Film Review.”

Exciting, but I suppose we can also rule out Red/Blue remakes for the 20th Anniversary...Here’s hoping the next main series game is a wholly new experience. Please let Gen VII be announced next year!
