"i don't watch netflix 1 a day, and who cares about anybody who isn't me. ALL the sites should do things exacltly the way i want them to!"

You were NOT vague to the point where I think you are being coy about spoiler-trolling.

Wow, it's like an A.I. replied to you.

Thank god she's not a picky eater like so many zombies are: can you imagine if all she could eat were "braaaains!"?

"It's wafer thin!"

I own the old Fleischer cartoons on DVD, and while I agree with you that they are gorgeous to look at, I always find the stories simplistic, silly, and ultimately boring. The same way that Bruce Timm took the god-awful "Superfriends" cartoon he used to watch as a kid and re-imagined it into Justice League (2001), I'd…

Oddly enough, I've said that same thing about Terry Gilliam over the years, esp. the later years of his career.

The 70s porn Cinderella is soft-core. Kinda "Red Shoe Diaries" level. But the songs are adorable and the dances are choreographed perfectly, and the movie has a real sense of humor about itself. We thought we were so racy and grown up when we watched it as seniors in high school.

In the book, she genuinely cannot stand to be touched by water and sizzles and burns when it touches her. I took this as a suggestion by the author that Elphaba is genuinely "unclean"! In the play, she mocks the idiots in the mob that have been spreading completely false rumors that "the evil witch" (as they've…

Dorothy broke the kid out because Mombi poisoned Lucas—she put something in the medication Dorothy made that caused him to foam at the mouth. You don't leave a kid with a crazy poisoner, esp if that kid has slipped you a note that begs for help!

Sadly, if copyright laws hadn't been warped and changed by Disney et al since the 1970s, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman would all be happily in Public Domain right now. Anyone, ANYONE, could make their own version of the characters, much as we've seen various versions of Sherlock Holmes in the past decade. …

Zero & Gene 4 EVAH!

The trailer put me off the film. If I see anyone in a trailer asking anything resembling "Are you the ONE? The ONE who will save us all?" I immediately give it a hard pass. I'm so tired of the Christ figure trope. Buying into that whole "There's only one person who is destined to fix everything for us, so we can…

The book has a great premise but is terrible, depressing as crap, mean-spirited for no reason, and oh, did I mention terrible? Oddly enough, the people who adapted the book to the stage seem to have had the same reaction I did and changed pretty much everything that pissed me off/saddened me when I read the book. I…

Edited to add: FOUND IT http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

A Victorian, Doyle found it difficult to write a "bad" or evil woman, they were always so virtuous in his stories, if sometimes forced into evil behavior by the men in their lives. Irene Adler turned out to be the virtuous one in that story; the only reason she was holding blackmail material on her ex-lover was…

Well, that certainly back-fired! Anyway, that's why I have a Tivo, I just fast-forward thru annoying promos. But Elementary is really very good, if you like that sort of slightly-eccentric procedural drama with touches of wit and good characters.

I think the fact that it's on CBS means nobody takes it seriously, like NCIS (the nation's highest-rated show that none of the critics give any notice to at all). But, unlike NCIS, they're doing some pretty amazing, subversive things on Elementary.

I'd like to say, "oh, poor guy, he's off his meds" but really, this is the guy he's been since forever. It just never really got this much attention paid to it before.

I cannot imagine any situation that more appropriately called for the comment: "Old man yells at cloud."
