You’re Having a Laugh
What’s my favorite book, you ask? Well, I would tell you it is James Joyce’s Ulysses. ‘But Ulysses is such a hard read!’ I bet you’ve heard that over the years, making it too daunting of a classic for you to even give it a try.

Enough with the Remakes!!!
I’m just going to be blunt: Can we please STOP!!! making remakes of the animation classics? I’m not just talking about Disney. I’m also talking about DreamWorks. I’m giving you my opinion because, as of now, not only are the film scripts a bit off, but there are a few things that are absolutely (in a figure of speech) throwing a wrench into making a live-action movie. Honestly, what the hell happened!?

And if you tried it in real life, your kneecaps would stage a mutiny and flee your body forever.

The Golden Age of Ridiculous: Why 90s Cartoon Villains Were Gloriously Over-the-Top
