It looks amazing 😍

I wonder if the actual Talos stop motion doll was in the same size 😂

@thealmightyemprex @themousefromfantasyland @ariel-seagull-wings @piterelizabethdevries I said once I would share my Jason and the Argonauts Talos figure and here it is. Isn't it stunning?

I think I understand why older children's movies were more scary. Parents were willing to allow their children to watch the most insane, violent, and scary crap back in the 70's and 80's.

But now parents groups are so insanely overprotective and vocal about it that they practically lobotomized children's entertainment, and 80% of Western Animation with that.

Imagine being Bob and Helen from the Incredibles. You have a daughter and you decided to name her violet. No reason, you just think it’s a nice name. Then suddenly you find out that she can turn invisible. You laugh at the coincidence of her name being similar to ultra violet, but you don’t think much of it.

You then have a boy, and you both came up with the name Dashiell, but you call him Dash for short. Again, no reason for this either. You just find the name nice. This kid then develops super speed. This one kept you both up at night. That’s 2 kids with names corresponding to their super powers; surely this can’t happen again, right?

Then you pop out a 3rd kid, and you decided to name him Jack-Jack. A very simple yet silly name that can’t really mean anything at all. There’s no way his powers can correspond to his name, right? Correct, cause he didn’t develop any powers at all, so that means it was all some sort of coincidence, and you naming your kids didn’t have anything to do with their powers.

Then a fucking carrot top lookin’ punk ass bitch decided to kidnap Jack-Jack, and this causes your baby to use his powers. And what are his powers? A bunch of random shit that ranges from turning his skin to metal, to teleporting around places. Basically a Jack of all Trades…..

Guess what? I'm doing a rewatch of Faerie Tale Theatre. Every day or so I've been watching a new episode.

Some of them I haven't seen since I was in elementary school, and I've been enjoying them very much. So far I've gone from The Frog Prince through The Princess and the Pea and the next episode I'll be watching is Pinocchio.

I have two comments about aspects of certain episodes that are bugging me, though.

Is it just me, or is Little Red Riding Hood slightly unclear about its message in the end? Of course it has the standard message in which Mary (Red Riding Hood) learns to be less naïve and not to talk to strangers or stray from the path anymore. So in other words, she should have listened to her parents, right? Then why is her father portrayed as such an overprotective jerk? At the beginning of the episode, she has no friends, never goes out except to visit her granny, and is treated like a child at home instead of the young woman she is. (The fact that Mary Steenburgen was 30 makes it all seem even more ridiculous, though I assume the character is supposed to be about 15 or 16.) Then he blocks her budding romance with Christopher because he thinks Christopher isn't good enough for her. You'd expect this to lead to an ending where her father admits he's been overprotective, that by keeping her so sheltered and lonely he caused her to fall for the Wolf's sweet talk, and that it's time to let her grow up. Maybe all these realizations are supposed to be implicit, since he does reconcile with Christopher after the latter rescues Mary and Granny (albeit in a non-apology, "pretending there was never any conflict" sort of way, for comic effect) and lets Mary be with him after all. But the narrator only talks about Mary learning to be wiser and more cautious in the end, as if she realizes her father was right all along. Is it just me, or should there have been more of a compromise between Mary and her father, where they both admitted they were wrong and he agreed to let her be more free while she agreed to be more cautious? Again, maybe this is implicit for most viewers, but too subtle on the father's side for my autistic brain. Does anyone else think this episode's ending could have been better written?

In The Princess and the Pea, is it just me, or does it feel like a scene is missing from Prince Richard and Princess Alecia's romance arc? In their second scene together, they have a big argument when Alecia accuses Richard of only looking for shallow qualities in his bride-search. But then in the next scene they share, Alecia is playfully directing Richard and the Fool in a fencing duel, and all three of them are chatting like friends, as if the argument never happened. Was there a scene cut for time where she and Richard made up? The review of this episode from the Up On The Shelf blog praises it as an excellent romantic comedy, and especially praises the romance arc for feeling so "real." I would agree, except I don't understand why they go from fighting to friendship with no transition. Again, maybe this is my autism brain again – I expect people to follow certain "rules" of conflict resolution, and it baffles me when they forgive each other too easily. But I have to fill in the blank with a missing scene to fully appreciate this love story.

I know I'm overthinking an '80s fairy tale TV series that never takes itself too seriously. Still, I wanted to express it.

Yesterday, for the first time since 2019, I finally attended a community Seder at my local synagogue.

It was wonderful.

In the car on the way, my mom exclaimed “We forgot to light the menorah!” Married to a Jewish man for 40 years and she still gets Passover and Hanukkah mixed up! 😆💗

My biggest grievance is Jeffrey Katzenberg involvement with Shrek.

Shrek as a franchise is meant to poke fun at the silliness and hypocrisies of the Walt Disney Company. Nothing wrong with that.

But I think the movie would bring the point closer to home if one of the producers wasn't literally directly responsible for several of the worst Disney actions.

For me, as a fan of the first seasons of The Flash, this date is something special.

It is now that I realize that the future has truly arrived. I remember the day I watched the pilot of the series and saw this date. Then I thought, damn, I have to wait another ten years, wow, that’s a long time...

And now we are here.

April 25, 2024.

The day the Flash disappeared in a flash of light while fighting Reverse Flash. Who would have thought, right?

We survived. Wow.

Thursday is Flash day. Thursday is review day for the first season.

Thursday is April 25, 2024.

Thursday is the day Flash missing vanishes in crisis.

Amazing feeling.

Try to use my power in the best way I can.

And maybe become a superhero in the process

How would you honestly feel if you were a mutant?

Ask myself in panic: "How do the FUCK do I control this power?!"
