Hahahaha…"semi-classic". Night At The Opera and Day At The Races are considered the apex of their MGMs, with (slightly) more coherent plots than even their gag-based Paramounts. So the Marxes is a must — one of their best — (Groucho gives Margaret Dumont a horse pill) Lawyer: "Isn't that a little l...

Here's my annual look at our Charlie Brown Christmas display. I'm in the centre of the yard in the second photo, setting it up.

Neighborhood lights and display contest??
Ohhh, even our own Randall's gone commercial!

One Twitter user pointed out a rather notable point about 20's animateds: https://twitter.com/TheRealJimsYT/status/1724110710651728054 Just like Mario before, Chris Pratt's Garfield also has daddy issues. How hard was it to make a story about Garfield, Odie, and Jon? Why should anyone care about Gar...

Even Disney+ is jumping on the "Modern trailer" trend for overlooked Ron Miller-era titles:

And the emotions STILL look uncannily like Jim Henson creations...

Yeah, whatever happened to the old Katzenberg glory-days of "Animation is dead, because nobody went to see Ruby Gillman!"?

Temple of Doom involved the villain ripping out someone's heart. Everyone complained about how it shouldn't have gotten a PG rating and how it portrays Indians as savages who eat monkey brains. And about how nails-on-chalkboard annoying Kate Capshaw was compared to Karen Allen, and then made inappr...

Of the many reasons given for the film's underperformance, congratulations:
I'm pretty sure you are the FIRST person on planet Earth to offer that rationalization.

(The safer theories went with "Old", "Depressing", and "No Spielberg".)

One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board. That definitely SOUNDS like a p...

Fan rumors about whether the project would quietly disappear during strike delays were all over the Internet, and could swear we already had one about Disney officially dropping foot-mouthed Rachel Ziegler, now that they were going back to square one. But no--Because studios, once they invest a lot ...

Also, even just from the art style, and recognition of Petunia's existence, this has the look of coming from those freakish Max cartoons, with the passive-hostile animator-insider grudge against 30's-40's LT shorts, animation style and tropes.

I thought they cancelled those...

Um, isn't regular Crunchyroll ALREADY available free with ads?
And with an actual slate of titles people have heard of?

(While PlutoTV has 24/7 FWA streaming-broadcast channels of Sailor Moon, Lupin III, Naruto, and Case Closed.)

Vanilla flavored. With marshmallows.
While elsewhere in the store, PUMPKIN SPICE Cheerios and Chex are available?...

And Flintstones was also quite remarkable - I love Mark Russell as a writer (just bought his recent Superman book he did with Allred). I loved his Snagglepuss, too, though that was a really weird take. Although those were digging up all the Millennial-hipster Cartoon Network passive-hostile cliche'...
