I disagree with the assessment of Frankenweenie as a dud. Felt like a comeback after the awfulness of Alice and Dark Shadows.

Ah, you're in Japan, so that's more normal dad shopping and less outstandingly awesome, given how mainstream Ghibli is there compared to here.

Dragons, moon, bison, badgermoles. That was how they explained it in ATLA, remember?

It's being written, but hasn't been greenlit yet.

Pacific Rim 2.

Ah. So it's an Australian thing then, whereas it was marketed differently, more towards teens and adults, in America.

Can Paul Greengrass ever keep a camera still? It worked for most of the boat scenes but I don't want to feel seasick when we're on land!

I became a George fan in my late teens, slightly before my 20s. You can blame the one-two punch of that Martin Scorcese HBO doc and "My Guitar Gently Weeps" being one of the most fun songs to play on Beatles Rock Band. So do you need to be beware of me or is that a good enough excuse?

Bolin's too frustratingly stupid. The idea of him as an actor is fun, but him being so stupid to not realize what acting is, with the whole kiss thing, that's just embarrassing.

It's his defense of Kick-Ass 2 that makes less sense. Wadlow being "an auteur"? The directing seemed really hacky compared to Vaughn's work on the first movie.

Green elephant. And don't worry, only her body in this realm exploded. She then lived happily in the Crystal Dimension before returning to our realm.

Of course major characters in Game of Thrones and South Park are that young as well. ;)

That's why I said, it's interesting if it's including all the different series, but if it's just the first series…

Good article in general, but I have to object to listing The Simpsons as a children's show (it's a family sitcom primarily targeted towards adults) and Captain Planet as a great children's show (because it really isn't).

Are there really 10 distinct episodes of Scooby Doo? Maybe if you're including all the series, but with the original series, wasn't the whole point that every episode was the exact same thing?

Well, Cartoon Network rejected Spongebob's pilot years ago, so I guess things balance out.

I generally don't love the DVD commentaries on Adventure Time (kind of annoying how they mute the episode during the commentaries so you get weird silences as opposed to on The Simpsons or Futurama commentaries where you can hear the dialogue underneath the commentary), but the one with Tree Trunks' voice actress…

For what it's worth, the adult Ren and Stimpy show had some executive meddling in the opposite direction (pushing for "edgy" content), which combined with John K's serious issues worked to make it so bad.

@avclub-792b765aa995daf26cf6f17f519c949d:disqus Haven't watched much of her stuff, but Team NChick, JesuOtaku, Brad Jones, and especially Oancitizen are cool with me. Doug has his funny moments, his moments of insightful criticism, and then his painfully unfunny moments.

I lost the game!
