The chapter called “Bad Tuesday” features the children going to different parts of the world, meeting stereotypical Eskimos, Orientals, Indians and picanninies. In the revised edition, written by Travers herself, they encounter animals instead (polar bear, panda, dolphin, and macaw). It is ONE part of the book. I just…

Oh yeah I have read some of those. I actually have read a lot of late 19th/ early 20th century science fiction and adventure stories, many of which have racist characterization. I can read them as an adult and enjoy them and understand the context in which they were written. Peter Pan is just one of those books that…
If they made a new Peter Pan movie, yes. You notice how the Indians are conveniently missing from Tinker Bell movies and Jake and the Neverland Pirates and nobody is complaining about their absence. It is much more difficult to go back and reanimate parts of a movie then to excise the word redskin or to just replace…
Absolutely stunning...ly racist. One would thing after so much time has passed, that somehow this book could be edited in such a way as to make it marginally less terrible. I get it, I get the attitudes of the past. As a historical document, this book is a great one, just as Huckleberry Finn is. But I just can’t bring…
The Captain Marvel movie was always going to be after Infinity War part 1 but before part 2. A little rearranging so we can get Wasp in Part 2 also = a-ok by me
I just want a Squirrel Girl animated series. I don’t know why this is so hard to do.
The book was a really interesting read - sort of like The Village meets zombies but better written. I wonder if they are going to be keeping the pseudo-Amish vibe from the book. The blurb about the movie doesn’t make me think so. Perhaps they are combining the first book with its sequel

I had not heard that. I hope it isn’t true :-(
Heck, even if he didn’t lose the weight it would be nice to see him working more. Can he play Jeff Bridges’ younger brother or something?
Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr were so fantastic together in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang that I was sure Kilmer would make a turnaround in his career like Downey has. But it hasn’t happened. He’s lost a little weight, but he could lose a little more and do some really great comedy stuff like he used. Just rewatched Top…
Is it?
My 4.5 year old has been demanding a Squirrel Girl action figure/ animated series since I first started reading her the comics. I ended up buying her a stuffed squirrel puppet and tying a bow around to make her own Tippy Toe. Can we just get a proper toy for her please?!
I don’t know if it was quite clear but my comment was definitely /s. I drink water everywhere. I generally prefer coke to pepsi when I have it, but I don’t get the die hard NO NOT THAT attitude.
No, no it is NOT okay. I would rather have water if you don’t have Coke. Ugh Pepsi
I mean really, can we get a Hard R rating on this and get some old timey sex with Fassbender action? I mean not that I want that sort of thing...
If you read the comic you will learn the solution to this predicament is to lead Galactus to a planet covered in nut trees and he decides to eat nuts instead
Secret Love looks delightful from what I’ve seen online so far. Can’t wait
