There was a passing line of discussion in the commentary about the exceptionally rare Female/Male buddy roles. When I watched Winter Soldier, I loved that this was the Cap/Widow relationship. After I saw the film, I talked to people who unlike me, were not informed by the comics, and a bunch of them brought up the great sexual chemistry between Cap and Widow. We're so trained by Hollywood patterns, we see them even when they aren't there.
Hell, when I showed my sister Constantine, she said she enjoyed the romance between the male and female leads 
We see what we want to see.

Hooray! I half-knew a thing kind of!

Hey Phi, I'd never heard of that, but that has pleased my inner math-geek immensely, cheers! 
Sorry to drag this back to "Tangled" but I was thinking about it again recently, having just re-watched "Aladdin" and "Mulan" (and a couple of other musicals) and I think what I found difficult about it was that the songs don't progress the story at all.
If you take "Be a Man" as an example, SO MUCH happens during that song. It takes you from point A to point B during the song, in a rousing and exciting way. None of the songs in "Tangled" seem to do that. Even your basic I Want style song should take you from not knowing the character to knowing who they are, what their life is like, and what they want / need to change. In "Tangled", the I Want number is about how she wants to get out of her tower. That's kind of a no-brainer, isn't it? We all recognise her as Rapunzel... I feel like all of the songs are weirdly static in "Tangled" and they don't move the story along.
I'm just flinging ideas around here but it's something I've been mulling over. Any further thoughts?
Oh, I don't have a problem with people misnaming songs. One of the ticks that lives in my head hates it.
He's got a hell of a kick too. Bloody bastard.
