I'd probably be a little afraid of that possum, actually. They're a bit scrappier than a beaver.

Beauty and the Beast?

I don't know... it looks like it might be good to watch, but then this whole controversy emerged about LeFou possibly being gay.

Personally, I don't see why the homosexual lobby isn't up in arms about this... sure, a Disney character comes out of the closet, as it were... and it's a toady to the main villain. It kind of enforces an old stereotype (one shown in the classic film "The Maltese Falcon") that if there's a gay person, he's likely a bad guy.

But hey, Hollywood has a short memory, and there's an agenda to front....

Ten to one, they change the story. Make LeFou either tragic, or have Gaston survive and they get together.

For me personally, I don't feel comfortable paying for a ticket because Disney is treating it as a flagship of sorts. They've had gay characters in their stuff before but if this is going to be the representation of the new Disney...I'm not going to encourage them.

Having difficulty coming up with a suitable name for a bad guy?

Depends on the genre. If it's a whodunit mystery, then you'll want a relatively normal sounding name. ("Let's see... was the murderer Linda Jones, Peter Franklin, or Stabby McStabbyface? Hmm... my money is on Linda.") If this is more of a fantasy-ish feel, then use the thesaurus to look up synonyms for death or pain or other similar words.

Alternatively, maybe the reason why the person turned to villainy is because they did have a terrible name. "My parents had to die... they named me Pumpkin-Poo."

Soup and sammich combo's?

That depends on the soup and sandwich. Chicken noodle and a ham sandwich could work, especially if the sandwich has a good cheese and dill pickles on it. A liverwurst on rye sandwich? Well... I can't think of any soup that would want to go with that sandwich.

Greek Fish Stew. I have nightmares of that soup...

Goldfish crackers?

The ones by Pepperidge Farms? Those are addictively tasty.

Goldfish crackers made from real goldfish? Not so much....

It's hard to lose the game when you make the rules?

Sstavix · Thu Mar 16, 2017 1:16 pm

Especially when you're playing by yourself.

Wait... what game are we playing again?

Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:20 am

It's more of an emo-complaint about the media than anything else.

That said, I have made rules for games, and it is hard to lose if you open a bottle of cheat sauce. >_>

We've got a few of those. In fact, there is one book that my wife loves so much that she's worn it out to the point it fell apart, so she needed to buy it again.

Twice.

That seems interesting...all of mine are fiction. XD

I like ol' Webhead. As long as some jerk writers aren't messing with his personality and changing the stories so he does things that are completely illogical. If you want an example, look up the disaster that is "One More Day."

Fri Mar 24, 2017 7:31 am

Actually not the lamest Marvel plot twist I've ever read...To be fair, with all the gold they've pooped out over the years, it figures we'd get poop of a normal composition. XD

Superheroes that are amazing heroes, but used to be fry cooks and don't have super muscular physiques?
