It's a problem Tim Burton tends to run into a lot, honestly. It's even more hilariously blatant in Frankenweenie, where the "weird outcast" protagonist is almost the only kid in his class who isn't a grotesquely deformed maniac.
Maybe it's representative of how the normal world is the one that looks weird to them?
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!I think what pissed me off the most about Tim Burton's Alice was the fact that he turned the Jabberwock (Jabberwocky is the name of the poem) into the villain, even though there was NO reason to because he was only in Through The Looking Glass for a couple of pages and had nothing to do with the rest of the book.
To give Burton some credit though, the Jabberwock looks pretty cool.
"Thanks for the lesson. But I don't need you to tell me who I am."Another waste is that the Jabberwock is voiced by Christopher Lee, yet it only has one line before Alice cuts out its tongue.
Cortex should take a 12-step plan off a 10-step pierEh, maybe I shouldn't have anything...
In recent news, Rob and Doug apparently aren't aware of the concept of half-siblings.
What do you mean?
Oh God! Natural light!In the v-log covering the second half of "Over the Garden Wall", Doug gets awfully confused about Wirt talking about his brother Greg's father as "your father" instead of "our father". He guesses they might be stepbrothers, and then they joke around about it being akin to parents referring to naughty children as "your son/daughter" instead of "our". It never once occurs to either of them that Wirt and Greg are half-brothers, despite the fact it's stated in no uncertain terms in the series.
It's the kind of frustrating obliviousness/inattentiveness that reminds me why I haven't watched much of Doug's stuff in a while.
These videos are unscripted, so there's going to be mistakes and inaccurate facts stated on the fly because they don't have time to think over them.
I know, it's just frustrating to see them fumble something this obvious.
This just shows us how sheltered they are from having grown up in their nuclear family.
Ah yes. People grown in nuclear family are sheltered now.

I take offense to that.

Back on topic, this week a Top 11 Animaniacs list.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Kyle Hebert: "I wasn't even IN this one!"
Can't argue with his number 1. That episode was hilarious.
"HELLOOOO, pretty LADYYY!!!!"
Latest review is of the 2005 Zorro film, a sequel to the 1998 (I think that's right) one.
Just kinda meh here. I don't think the movie really gave that great of material to work with (though by the end, the stuff with the villain is kinda amusing). I'm getting a bit tired of these reviews of just general action flicks. Seems more Film Brain's department too.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.I liked the song parodying the theme song for Zorro, but then I remembered how much I hated NC's intro song.
It's Over Anakin, I have the high ground!Legend of Zorro is pretty much a sequel that suffers from being made 'kid friendly' in the Hollywood sense

... Hey ... y-you know what's really funny but kind of pathetic? ..... I realized that earlier today, I posted the link to the Zorro review, and my reactions, in the GENERAL Channel Awesome thread instead of here...... and it took me 8 hours to realize this.
I'm getting a bit sick and tired of Doug claiming that any film from 1997 to 2005 was shit. There were GOOD films released during that time, and BAD films released during other times too!
... is it common knowledge that 2 big horses cannot pull a cart holding a solid gold brick box?? How does Doug know this?
... wow. WOW. Was this film made by Disney!!?!? I'm sorry I know this is under Amblin Entertainment and Columbia Pictures but... this is WRITTEN like the film was made by Disney!!!
I love this reply on the Blip.tv page: You could have divorce in 1850. First divorce was in 1698. But it wasn't that easy.

Heck, divorces are Older Than Dirt; you could have a divorce as far back as Babylonian times, although other, later cultures obviously didn't adopt the practice until much later down the line.
Fake weirdness is pretty much a big problem in a lot of fiction that purports to deal with weirdness.
I could go on a big rant about this but it would end up somewhere far removed from your point.
