The train is obviously out of every superhero movie ever.

IM3's great, but over Avengers and Incredibles?

It was about the War on Terror. The problem was it was about it from a Truther perspective, which sucks.

Peppermint Butler? Not explicitly identified as gay, but it's not exactly subtle flat-out falling in lust/love with another male character.

Upon hearing this news, my dad says they need a monorail ride.

Also Tim Curry as a Sweet Toxic-ite from Transsexual Toxic-vania and Tone Loc randoming singing an erotic vore song.

I thought Gosling was great in it too, did the stoic-macho-action-hero-as-autistic-romantic-weirdo thing perfectly, and of course Ron Pearlman's fun in everything.

I wonder if they'll expand this to include fan-movies/fan-series. As a film student, I could probably have a lot of fun with that.

Aku, the shapeshifting master of darkness?

Atlas Shrugged 3: The Shruggening? The Oogieloves in the Big Bomb Adventure?

And while we're waiting for that to come over here, Summer Wars is recommended to all.

Somebody contact the writers of MAD and get them to animate this…

Except not really, since it actually presents its conflict with moral ambiguity and it doesn't portray nature as some sort of magical good but rather as a powerful and terrifying but entirely necessary force.

I know it's one of Spielberg's favorites.

Spirited Away's the best, but I watched it so many times in childhood that I have it practically memorized and as such it's much lower on the list of Miyazaki movies I'm likely to rewatch nowadays unless I'm sharing it with someone who hasn't seen it. Porco or Nausicaa would be my favorites after that and the ones I'm

@avclub-64eec0c3fb6b12c43f51ec9e9c773fed:disqus The subtext in Totoro and Howl is obvious, but where did you get this reading of Laputa? And Ponyo? The girl's five! It's not about puberty so much as learning to be a decent parent, more Finding Nemo than Little Mermaid despite the obvious inspiration of the latter

Indeed, and Miyazaki was incredibly critical of the anime industry (back when he paid attention to it, anyway; from interviews nowadays it seems he mostly just watches classic films and whatever his friends Lasseter, Anno, and maybe a couple others make/recommend).

@GhaleonQ:disqus Really? Pom Poko is easily one of Ghibli's worst IMO. And no, I'm not basing this on all the testicles, but on the lack of any characterization, tonal consistency, or subtlety (not that Miyazaki's messages are ever that subtle, but they're never as directly preachy as the characters BREAKING THE

Yuasa's great and terribly underrated. Tatami Galaxy's the only series of his that's been released officially in America, and then only online and not on DVD/Blu-Ray yet (http://www.hulu.com/playlis…. So glad his Kickstarter project succeeded.

Because most cartoons and especially most anime are dubbed in their original language in the first place.
