He’s overrated, and he’s largely done that to himself. He would rate closer to where he actually is, if he was more gracious. But when he continually throws the rest of the industry under the bus in order to promote his own work, people aren’t going to cut him slack or overlook his flaws. Read more

This is great insight to have. Thank you! Read more

I’m starring this, because I really like a lot of your points! But I disagree with the idea that the film is celebrating Mater’s behavior. It’s clearly shown that he’s the embarrassing one, and the foreign cultures are never portrayed as backwards or weird. The wasabi and the zen rock garden are not played for laughs… Read more

I was going to use this one to support my points, until I remembered that I used it already! This is actually one of my favorites, because it’s not a quick one-liner. He destroys her over the course of three panels. Read more

Believe it or not, this was a complete coincidence. The motivation for the piece was A) the positive response to my Haunted Mansion article and B) the 50th anniversary of the ride, which recently passed. Read more

Thank you for your insight. In the stuff I’ve read, it seems that the Walt-era rides were less A to B, and that Eisner was more driven about the idea of story. This is a quote about Disneyland by Marc Davis in 1969, 2 years after the ride opened:  Read more

Schulz may not have intended that. But that’s an incredible reading of the situation. Read more

Thanks for the comment Mark. There definitely wasn’t an easy solution. And Schulz, to his credit, stood apart from his peers. He was the only one to give it a shot; Glickman reached out to many other cartoonists; only some of whom got back to her. And of those, Schulz was the only one to follow through and actually… Read more

I understand why they did it. But if they were going to change it, they should have edited it better. When you hear the redone version, the second take is really, really obvious.

To capture the screenshots, I still remembered the code to get to the Genie level. Genie, Jafar, Aladdin, Abu. Read more

This probably comes down to whichever one you played as a kid. When I was little, I only had an SNES. Therefore, SNES Aladdin was my favorite! Read more

Perhaps. But it’s not the high budget, “Elsa shooting ice from her fingers and kicking ass” game that we all want and deserve! Read more

Yeah! It was actually a tribute to the woman who inspired the character, who was also named Marcie Carlin. Read more

Oh man, tell me about it.

Yeah, this is wonderful. Read more

Patty also had a crush on Pig Pen!:

I have absolutely read this book, a long time ago. I scoured my local public library for Peanuts books when I was nine. This was one of the books I found, amidst the comic strip anthologies. Read more

Yeah. TJP’s entrance is only going to carry him so far. After awhile, the fans want to know who HE is. Read more
