Even Lucy flirted with Charlie Brown at the Christmas play. ("You DO think I'm beautiful, don't you?")

For a "loser" CB certainly got a lot of interest from the ladies.

Peppermint Patty wasn't a lesbian. She actually had a crush on Charlie Brown, apparently.

Now Marcie, on the other hand...

I agree that having Velma be gay would be a tiresome continuation of the old "she's not beautiful and glamorous, so she must be a lesbian" trope.

Though I always was more attracted to Velma than...

"How I Met Your Mother" - End the series after the train station scene at the end of season 8, and have a funny coda of Ted talking to his now-adult children on the sofa. Season 9 sucked, and anyway...

I was disappointed about Ward on a character level, but on a story level it was the best decision they ever made. It injected new life into a show that was getting dull.

Answering this question made me realize three things.

1. Most of my favorite sci-fi doesn't focus on romance much at all;
2. When there is a romance I find it more a distraction than a feature;...

They did the live action Dora and the Lost City of Gold a couple of years ago, though it wasn't nearly that grim.

I'd love to see an ongoing Josie and the Pussycats TV series... more adult in...

Tim Burton - Big Fish

The Coen Brothers - Hail, Caesar

Steven Spielberg - Hook

Terry Gilliam - Jabberwocky

A lot of viewers were furious about it... "you got drama in my comedy!!!"

But it was a turning point for television.

Interesting article about this:

Tara on Buffy. Joyce, also on Buffy. Henry Blake on MASH (the original "shock death"). Charlie on Lost. Several of the characters on Game of Thrones. Bobby on Supernatural. (Yeah, I know, everybody...

There are some types of movies that I associate with specific decades. I really like the fantasy movies of the 1980's, starting with Clash of the Titans, Dragonslayer, and Excalibur and going on...

Speedy is an example of the "peasant hero" archetype. The hero who arises from among the common people and sticks it to the greedy oppressors and elites with his skills and cunning. The "Jack" of...

Yep, Speedy Gonzalez is very popular in Mexico... but there I assume his voice is dubbed in Spanish with something less stereotypical.

On the merits of the offense, I think Carano deserved to be called out but not to lose her job. Her statement was stupid, insensitive and obnoxious, but not anti-semitic, I don't think. But studios...

Been there.

AoU made a crapload of money and, while it wasn't as good as Avengers 1 it was not bad. Certainly nothing for Whedon to feel angry or ashamed of. IIRC his biggest beef was the studio forcing him to...

Being guilty of one scummy allegation doesn't make you guilty of all scummy allegations. Racism is a completely different accusation.

Alyson seldom posts to social media, and it's usually about her kids.

All those "taming the wildcat" movies that were so popular in the 40s and 50s... the hero who brings the strong-willed woman to heel. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara being the trademark example,...

The current BOOM Studios Buffyverse comics (which are a reboot of the original series) are credited as "Created By" Joss Whedon only, I think. He's never had any direct connection to them, which...

Jessica Biel did a sexy shoot when she was on 7th Heaven. Not nude, but enough to cause a stir.

It's a certainty that many of Whedon's actors had no problem with him at all... they would happily attend parties and Shakespeare readings at his house, be in his personal pet projects like Dr....

My parents had a copy of his "Wonderfulness" album, and his was literally the first comedy I can remember. And of course I grew up with Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, long before there was a Cliff...

I think there is a place and a market for both CGI and hand drawn animation. But we live in an era when only the most popular thing gets to stay and the second most popular thing has to go away.
