★★★★★★★☆☆☆

I’m really surprised by this. I thought it stank.

I was impressed by the animation. Everything else was meh.

I’m surprised by that, too. But not because I disagree, just that you’ve been vocal about hating modern animation styles. I also prefer old school animation to 3D, but I also thought this was pretty cool. I also liked the post credits scene, only because it hints at one of my favorite monsters showing up later…

Because I like the pizza better when it’s hot right out of the oven. That is harder to get unless I eat it at the restaurant. Typical travel time of a half hour before I get a cooked pizza home and served, it’s already cooled off and partially congealed. With Papa Murphy’s it’s like I’m eating it at the restaurant when it’s still fresh out of the oven. I can also cook it to exactly the done-ness I prefer.

All of this and it tastes better than other chain pizza places pizzas.

I watched both when they were in theaters. I enjoyed both, but expected Boyhood to swamp all the awards, so rooted for Birdman because I felt it was the underdog and more entertaining. Boyhood was an experience, but one I wouldn’t really want to revisit.

Everything is a product of its time.

But some more than others. I once again point to how Superman, although made 10 years earlier, ends up being much more timeless.

I mean, you may not be wrong, but you can’t tell me that Superman doesn’t ooze the seventies at some moments as well.


Fair enough. I guess what I’m trying to say is Batman feels like a movie of its time rather than a Batman movie, while Superman feels more faithful to the character. Superman is the first thing I’d point to if someone wanted me to explain the character, while Batman isn’t. It’s still a solid movie and I really enjoy it to this day.

Well as I’ve said multiple times already, it’s a Burton movie. And by extension it’s not a Batman movie.

Batman isn’t a Batman movie? I don’t quite follow what you’re saying here.

I mean, the whole concept’s pretty flawed. Home ovens just aren’t made to produce great pizza (sure, there are many ways to get great pizza from your home oven, many discussed on this site, but none of them read “Preheat oven to 425°, toss the 1.5”+ thick pizza in the oven, cook until somewhere between raw-middled and hard and lifeless.") I think “freshness” was part of their selling point (Look, there are raw vegetables on my uncooked pizza! It must be healthy!) but the quality of the toppings were never apparently higher than any other major chain. I’d rather eat Pizza Hut or Round Table—or, frankly, plenty of the better frozen pizzas—for dinner any day.

Hahaha no.
The proof is when I pull my pizza out of the oven. It’s cooked thoroughly, not raw, not burned, MUCH cheaper than the other chains and much better taste.

The Holiday Special, with the exception of a total of maybe 40 seconds, isn’t funny or interesting.

Not on purpose, no. But I enjoy boggling over what they were going for and how it turned out to be what it is.
That’s far more than I get outta watching the PT.
(Note, I only watched the HS once, over 10 years ago and will likely never do it again.)
(JEDIT- same goes for the PT.)

It can be boggled over without being watched. I’m very opposed to anyone watching the HS ever. And the PT. And the Clone Wars movie. And the Clone Wars cartoon, for that matter. And the Ewok films. And the ST, now that you mention it. And the standalone films. How about this: if it isn’t the original version of one of the original three live-action Star Wars films, don’t watch it. That’s my platform on the Star Wars franchise.

Well, I liked R1 and I LOVE ESB:R, so I’m out.
