Teague, you do pie charts wrong. But that won't stop me from donating.
It was funny enough to keep as an inside joke but didn't come up often enough to be a huge thing. Your next question will be, of course, What *IS* meatball?
I think the general idea of the Bechdel test is not to directly test individual movies, but to point out that a ridiculously low percentage of movies manage to pass this ridiculously low bar. That's the part worth thinking about. I fully agree that passing the Bechdel test does not prove or even give much evidence that a specific movie has well written female characters.
As to his broader point, I don't think Hollywood movies turn boys into rapists any more than video games turn people into murderers. More variety in movies would be good though (get on that capitalism, hah), and I'll probably be thinking about what lessons my kids are pulling from the cultural stories they absorb.
Well that snuck by me. I guess there was no advertising either. And it's expensive. Thanks for pointing it out so at least I know about it!
Lilo and Stitch makes me cry every damn time. Ohana...
When will they release the blu ray? WHEN???? Also blu ray for the Iron Giant, while I'm at it.
This Is The End
It wasn't good enough for me to bother finding a poster, but it wasn't horribly bad either. Or particularly funny. The one part that struck me was a scene where Emma Watson and the six guys are in a house and one of the guys points out that they should agree to not rape her. The following discussion is not 'well duh, of course not', but about how they shouldn't even discuss the topic at all and how dare he even bring it up and make them uncomfortable. I'm not up on my feminist lingo, but it's a great demonstration of something that I'm sure there is a specific name for and fits somewhere between male privilege and rape culture.
Look, we don't have any cookies left. You ate all the cookies.

Big thanks for judging again this year. I always enjoy the commentary
Is there a downloadable .mp3 version or should I just rip it off the YouTube file?
Disney's Robin Hood, Dumbo, An American Tale: Fievel Goes West (the last one being the only VHS we owned)
I also assumed the movie was tongue-in-cheek, while knowing that the book was absolutely not. You mean you aren't supposed to read between the lines and conclude that the asteroids were a convenient excuse to attack the Bugs?
...You know what, I'm just going to go on assuming the movie wasn't serious.
Haven't seen Lockout, but no. Elysium is not particularly about breaking into a high tech facility.
Swords were totally OP so they nerfed them after the Mark-3 run.
Aha! Trey finally figured out what Tumblr is for.
