My heart swells for Regular-Sized Rudy. He's such a sweet character.

I think it's hilariously wonderful that every single American I've talked to or seen online has been down on "no-maj" (including myself). I wish she would have talked to like, one American.
I think it's such an oversight to not draw the slang term from "Normals". The whole American ethos is exceptionalism, so to be…

For all her very real flaws, Hillary Clinton was very close to being the first female president and that meant a lot to a lot of people. Kate as Clinton was wearing suffragette white. The chosen song is about how heartbreaking the road to love and acceptance is and always will be. The song is of a figure who tried to…

Calling Facebook Gen X is a little weird. It wasn't open to the public until 2006 and started out being for college students the year or so before. I was in college when Facebook came out, and it was definitely -for- college students even at the time of offering it to everyone. It was based around finding people in…

Thanks for linking it! It sounded too plausibly real I figured it was.

I think the unfortunate thing about Disney's rebranding of the "Princesses" is their princess movies weren't "for girls" until they decided that's how they would market them in the late 90s or early 2000s. I remember going to see TLM and Beauty and the Beast as a family and there wasn't this idea it was "for girls."…

It's definitely how it's both perceived and marketed. You can look at the entire situation with JJ Abrams saying, ""Star Wars was always a boy’s thing." And the damning evidence that came out about holding back Rey items from toy lines for TFA.

Amen to this forever.

My worst airplane meal is from ANA. I have no idea what it was but it made me extremely sick to my stomach. I don't really get it because all the food I ate actually in Japan was wonderful.
The flight was from Japan back home to California, and I, who cannot sleep on planes, just willed myself to sleep rather than eat…

I posited before that for me, it would be Paul F Tompkins or John Hodgman, even though neither is a dramatic actor.

I love Bubblegum throughout the Lemongrab saga, but especially in Lemonhope. I ended up getting teary eyed at the end of "Lemonhope" and said out loud to my BF, a bit watery, "Princess Bubblegum is a good mom!" They do a good job with her character not being always warm, all forgiving, but show how she's still…

I said something very similar while watching. Being from California, it's even easier to spot the forgery since I can recognize my state from a mile off but really like, at least try to fake some differences. Put up a Waffle House sign.

Exactly. The tone is actually still part of the issue for their lackluster creative work. Not that things can't be dark and work, but keeping every character regardless of who they are in that same box will hamper your development from the word go. The Justice League isn't a natural fit for this tone, Wonder Woman…

Brave is so frustrating because the scenes that work for me, work really, really well. The trailer of the archery contest was amazingly shot and I was so hyped for the movie. The fight between Elinor and Merida that results in her burning the bow also gets me as a daughter right in the heart. Pixar finally doing a…

Exactly.

I assume it's because by proving these people can hack into the accounts for famous people they don't know, they have the ability to do this to literally anyone. We need to investigate such a person because who knows what they're doing to people who aren't famous and don't make huge headlines when they're attacked?…

It took me a very long time to understand how it was supposed to be pronounced. I heard people from the South say it and I still couldn't connect the dots for ages. My mind was just determined to think of it as Chick Fila.

I just got back from seeing this and it was very lovely. I love that they made such a beautiful movie so melancholy without it becoming bogged down in heartbreak. It seemed like they took the Obon tradition to the heart of the story and let it guide them through, which is really smart. I'm super impressed by Laika's…

I love that Ace Attorney made that localization choice in the first game, where it didn't really matter about moving the setting too much, and they've had to live with that in almost every game since it has bit them more and more on the ass.
