I liked the subtlety of it.

That laugh was great. It was like "of COURSE she's dead!"

I love Miyazaki, but sometimes I don't like his adaptations. Like Howl's Moving Castle, I wish he'd stuck more to the novel characterizations.

Incredibles 2? Finally, the only Pixar movie that actually called for a sequel is getting one!

It's weird because I am a woman and have plenty of male friends in whom I have zero romantic interest, yet I still love the "best friends will-they-or-won't-they" trope in movies and television.

This isn't Holocaust-related, but they cast cancer patients to play the emaciated POWs in The Great Raid.

Yeah, I used to read denial websites because I was so horribly fascinated by them, and they do things like point to posters of advertisements for prisoner recreation (like a band, for instance) as examples of "See, the camps were great!"

Yeah, I loved the book but the "Bonnie Parker was a prostitute, probably!" stuff bothered me. Especially when you contrast the author's nonchalant writing with his very sympathetic portrayal of Clyde's sexual abuse in prison.

Toy Story 3-induced guilt actually made me dig up some of my old stuffed animals at my parents' house and bring them back to my apartment… and they are now sitting in a bin in my closet because I have no room to display them. Hrm.

I read And the Band Played On after reading The Normal Heart, and I found that the former really puts the latter into context (for those of us who are too young to remember the history). Reading about San Francisco's response really made me understand why Larry Kramer/Ned was so outraged at NYC.

I used to live in the city that houses the McDonalds french fry factory. It smelled so disgusting that it could make you almost vomit. Also, the workers supposedly would have health problems from the grease in the air, and my partner told me that the inside was full of rotting french fries. Ever since then, I…

I love the "Where is your God now?" meme that the King inspired.

You've heard the phrase "Let's get busy"? Well, this is a Happy Meal that gets BIZZAY!

Is Happy the "Poochie" of corporate food chain mascots?

You've brought great joy to this old Italian stereotype!

IIRC, they switched around King of the Hill so often even I (a diehard KotH fan) lost track of it. And then it would often get preempted on Sundays.

I thought it was more they viewed him as a man, not an ape, despite having an ape body.

I actually think that is a requrement for a truly good parody episode or film. It has to have a good, standalone plot of its own. Compare "Tearjerker" from American Dad to "Blue Harvest" from Family Guy, for instance. Tearjerker had a legitimately solid storyline whereas Blue Harvest was just Star Wars with FG…

They also focused on Melisandre's boobs the entire time, so that kind of negates the Bechdel pass IMO.

Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
