WELCOME TO NEVERRRRRRLAAAAAAND!!

I have no problem with frightening. Scares for kids are necessary, and fun. Disneyland itself is largely built around kid-friendly scares.

Yep, that's about right. COMING SOON: Disney presents live action 101 Dalmations, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu . . .

God, no, for me Gollum is a primary reason why I can't watch any of those movies anymore. Granted, Jackson has all of his characters hit the same beat over and over again ("Oh, Mr Frodo, boo-hoo—" STFU Sam!!), but Gollum repeats the same two notes seemingly hundreds of times each ((1) crazy evil (2) sniveling…

He plays a monkey in sunglasses.

"a movie with badass sweeping actions scenes, huge bass hits and uber-realistic bears and tigers"

Nope. They've taken the songs out of this, and they're taking them out of the remake of Pete's Dragon (and Mary Poppins, too).

Disagree about the tone. The Kipling book is obviously a lot more menacing that the Disney cartoon, movie, but it's still a book, which creates a buffer for the reader.

By offensive you mean too true?

The intensity of this ad looks like it was made for that song.

Remember when Disney made movies for KIDS? Now they've all got to have Lord of the Rings' levels of intensity. It can't be a funny snake, it's got to be a legitimately terrifying supersized cobra! Why have a battle with 20 monkeys when you can have 1000 menacing apes!

Happy to hear he's been cast as The Colonel, ahem, but I could care less about these movies. They're just so dour, and I can't really root for anyone. I'm also of the belief that Serkis' mo-cap abilities are overrated. He can glower really well, and look fussy pretty good, but none of the characters he's played ever…

Right! Sorry, I mean TJ. TJ's always standing back judging people for not being athletic enough, seriously lame.

They've also never had a midget.

The German dude on the London show was a pimp.

Speaking of Jordan, I'm not a big fan of them making every challenge identical for every player. Jordan is a goddamn pimp for making in through with one hand, but there should be staggered starting lines for men and women, and/or other things to even it up.

Thank you for being critical of the show's focus on physical prowess. Between the juiced-up meatheads and TJ's obnoxious insistence on shaming people that he thinks didn't live up to their potential, the show has become one big frat house, with the biggest thugs always winning and misogynistic vibes on 11.

He's sorta like film-director Prince.

Girls, rock the boys!
