Yes! The witches were a redeeming factor, lol. Always a plus when female characters are allowed to just be funny.

Yeah, it's the old "We can pander to ourselves, but don't you pander to us!" mentality, lol. Btw, back in the '80s I did watch My Little Pony every day. I had several of the toys (Hasbro, duh, lol). But even as a kid the show bugged me. The characters were just too catty to each other. I got...

I don't like blaming the media for people's screw ups. Teenagers have been getting pregnant long before the advent of motion pictures. Now that I kinda agree with, lol. :insatiable:

Eh well, even in the '70s, R-rated movies were often done with a bit of class. They were made for adults. Nowadays, so-called edgy movies or music are often just juvenile shock value, for teenagers who want to act like grown ups. What Cyrus did was pretty desperate. I do feel bad for her that...

Well they all warned Charlie Chaplin against making The Great Dictator. But he did it anyway, because he felt it was important to send a message since so many innocent people were suffering. Humor can be a very powerful weapon.

I get what you're saying, but George is still a pretty vulnerable guy. That's not going to be fixed with one act of heroism. In fact, all the attention he got for decking Biff probably made him even more uncomfortable in that moment. When the ginger kid cut in, George probably got all self...

I mentioned this the other day [SPOILERS if you haven't seen Back to the Future yet!] You know what makes this scene work? So many directors/editors would have just given us a long, angsty close up of George wrestling with his conscience. But BTTF's creators knew you had to keep the camera...

I've tried watching some of those third season episodes, and while the concepts are a bit more ambitious, for some reason the dialogue/delivery just make me cringe. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's different. The first two seasons weren't Shakespeare, but it always sounded like the actors...

Sure, there are always filler episodes; they can't all be "Fire in the Sky." ;) But in general, the writing for G1 was always a bit too spare. It's like they'd concentrate more on getting the plot done in a hurry than giving the characters their moments (unless your name was...

I'm very proud to be a fan of the first two Home Alone's because they're so of my generation. My father thinks they're utterly useless movies, lol. I'm always trying to explain to him that they're funny, and also have a lot of heart. :)

Now, wait, I did genuinely enjoy Megamind. My friend told me half way through it was Will Ferrell and I couldn't believe it. He was really endearing in the role. I felt for him right from the beginning. Roxanne: How could you do this? The people of this city relied on you, and you deserted...

Thanks, that is a much clearer copy than I've seen! I definitely agree it's too sort. I imagine if Jim had been able to be in charge of the production, it wouldn't have felt so rushed. I've heard Robert Downey Jr's performance here described as "frighteningly manic" and I think that's pretty...

The only current kid's show I catch with any regularly nowadays is Rescue Bots. And that's definitely an A+. It's what G1 might have been if Hasbro had giving a little more attention to the writing instead of the toyline. ;)

OK update, I recently decided to go back and check out Zoobilee Zoo. You know what, it holds up! The performers had such a tremendous sweetness about them, yet also manage to sneak in the occasional snark here and there. You could tell there was some brains behind the writing. I think I liked...

Thanks again! Well, a few issues I mentioned managed to clear up in the past couple days, thankfully. And I was finally able to see the doctor this morning, so that's good.

It's hard to say. I mean, if you were accused of something, and the witness testimony against you wasn't consistent, you would hope the jury would notice this and not put you trial.

Well from what I understand, non-indictments are pretty unusual. Usually it's the old "you can indict a ham sandwich!" In the case of Ferguson, the witness testimonies just ended up unreliable, and that was really all they had. I'm going to be honest, that footage of Brown grabbing and pushing...

The one '80s PSA I still haven't been able to find is one where two teenagers carve their initials on a tree, and then the announcer talks about how the tree died and (as I remember), the tree kinda falls at the audience. If I could find that one, that would be awesome! You know, by the way...

I'm sure the vast majority of police are good at their jobs. They do decent things for the public every day. It's just that those types of stories don't make it to the news. If it bleeds, it leads!

Thank you for the thoughts, guys. I'll really have to get my at together soon. This morning was pretty rotten. It's the opening night of my play, but my family and I had a huge fight, my best "friend" was a jerk, again. My other friends are too busy or just sick of me. To top it all off, I'm...
