Wow, I'd rank the ones I've seen almost exactly the same way. I'd put Sweeney Todd ahead of Batman Returns, but that's about it.

"During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy."
All the jokes…they're right there and I can't touch any of them.

Thanks, but I think I'll continue breathing, no matter how well the alternative is graded.

Well, I've seen the first Halloween, and it's really good, so, that one! I am not the right guy to ask about this!

Goodbye, Gene Wilder. If there were any boring days in Heaven before, there won't be anymore.

Hey, six months on and I think you were wrong about Star vs. the Forces of Evil; that show is starting to get really ambitious. Of course, for a while after Weirdmageddon Disney had Wander Over Yonder, but they shot themselves in the foot like they so often do.

Yeah, it belongs on any and all best of the year lists, no question.
Mentioning Gravity Falls and Breaking Bad in the same comment got me thinking about something interesting the current wave of great children's shows demonstrates: how much an event in a story affects you depends not on what the event is, but what

I empathize; I did the same thing with Last Airbender. I think if GF's airing schedule hadn't been so cruel and unusual I would have put it off for a while; as it happened, Disney made me wait four months between episodes anyway. I will say that it's about as thoroughly satisfying a series finale as you could ever

Kubo and the Two Strings is just as phenomenal as I hoped it would be. I'll write something more in-depth once I've digested it further.

Gotcha; I just finished showing GF to my mom, and I'm still a little high off of rewatching such a great show all the way through. I might end up somehow bringing it up in every conversation on here for a day or two; apologies in advance.

Fair enough. "Pff" partially rescinded. Although somebody oughtta be representing Gravity Falls; I'll run "Not What He Seems" or "Weirdmageddon Part 3" against "Ozymandias" any day of the week.

No cartoons?
*tosses list aside*
Pff. Amateurs.

Hey, my band sucks too! We should do a show together!

Considering that Iceland produced Bjork, I assume this is pretty much exactly what the place is like.

I've seen 21. I really need to get out less.
Also, I kinda feel like this is a really good, inclusive list? On the internet? What?

I clicked on that old review, scrolled down to the comments section, ended up three pages deep into a debate about which generation is the worst, and came to the conclusion that basically everybody besides Fred Rogers born after 1900 was or is a small-minded prick.

This makes me sad. I've been watching The West Wing, and I have to say, aside from perhaps being a bit over-reverent for American government (The system, not whoever happens to be filling the positions), it holds up extremely well. I wish Sorkin had retained any modicum of his perspective; it's be nice to have around,

Alright, I'll do my personal, biased, rockist list. Limited to one-per-artist to stop myself from going insane.

The animation industry is so fucked up in general. Somehow, despite being a very popular product, the business never actually has any money, and the entire enterprise is apparently always one sincere artistic decision away from totally collapsing. You get droves of crazy talented people who have to slum it working on

That'll be a bit dated once they stop making DVDs. And there's no way to update it for internet streaming, since the apocalypse would presumably mean the collapse of the internet. Sorta makes the "Careful what you wish for" thing a little more straightforward, but leaves no room for the cruel twist of fate right at
