Yeah. As you said.. when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Lots of characters from cartoons and other children-oriented shows have to be up there. Even if you don't know the name of everyone in these pictures, you can probably at least recognize what show they are from.

Silver Linings Playbook Really good. Didn't know much about it coming in except that it was some sort of rom-com, but I was pleasantly surprised at how un-rom-commy it really is. Much... grittier, I guess might be the word... it's a well-written, well-acted story that has a lot of believability...

Touche. Not exactly trying to build the Oscars up to be the pillar of accuracy when it comes to these types of awards ceremonies, but I still think it's odd that songs or albums which are in some cases nearly 2 years old are just now up for awards. Why have them every year then? The whole...

Re: Starliner at Panama City Beach to return in 2015 That actually does look kinda sexy

Doesn't happen to me much now.. in fact I can't think of the last time I went to a park with a group that included people my age who were scared to ride anything. In the family, I used to have to coax my younger brother into getting on some of the bigger rides, and usually I'd just do that by...

Isn't Kronk supposed to be pretty good at heart, just bumbling & misguided? Haven't seen Emperor's New Groove in a long time but that's how I remember characterizing him.. at any rate, he's probably the most entertaining character in that movie. :)

Blame furie for mentioning BBW first, I was just following suit! But yeah like I said, none of the stuff I listed is really all that rare or exclusive except perhaps the HRP stuff. Only CF'ers that I know have done them are you, Canobiefan, CP6 (who isn't an active member anymore anyway), and...

Beasts of the Southern Wild Not sure what to make of it. Some things about it were pretty good (Wallis's performance was as good as billed), others bad (the momentum & direction of the plot.. or lack thereof, rather), and others made no sense (. It's OK overall, I guess. Not seeing where the...

Re: Kings Island 2014 Roller Coaster I know that it's a silly hypothetical in the first place, but to those of you who said you'd love a hyper invert... why on earth would that be fun? In fact, I can't imagine a more effective way to ruin a good hyper layout than to make it an inverted coaster...

I have a couple of rides in my count that might qualify for this. Sidewinder at Elitch Gardens - Certainly not 'exclusive' since I'm sure that just about everyone who's been to Pleasure Beach Blackpool (which, at the very least, has to be a great deal of our British members :) ) has ridden an...

Ok so I thought you two were arguing about the elephant in the Jungle Book..

I find it odd that songs like "We Are Young" or "Somebody That I Used to Know" which were released in 2011 are just now winning awards. Having never really paid much attention to the Grammys on a yearly basis, is this common? I always figured it was like the Oscars where they only honor movies...

Tough to pick a single favorite. Aladdin is kind of awkward in a funny way but when the chips are down he can handle his **** like a boss. I love Dash & Elastigirl from the Incredibles, though that movie is full of other great characters. Hamm & Mr Potato Head from Toy Story are also...

^ Agreed. How about Jafar? Manipulative, intimidating, deceitful, turns into an all-powerful mega-sorcerer, and his hubris is the only thing that leads to his downfall.. Great villain.

GCI makes the best twisty woodies. B&M seems to be the best at guaranteeing a certain ride experience: you buy from them, you'll get exactly what you bargained for... whereas an Intamin ride may need to be re-tracked, have entire elements removed, have trims added, have the restraints redesigned...

I guess Busch Gardens Williamsburg has lost some of its luster for me in recent years, but really that has more to do with me just getting older & having been there dozens of times. I think Merlin's actually done a pretty nice job of maintaining the same overall atmosphere & quality of the park...

Just stop there. The US hasn't had to fight to defend itself since it got involved with the Japanese in WWII, and even then the threat of a full-scale invasion was minimal. Every other war we've been in since then, we've been the aggressor. We aren't "fighting for freedom" over in the middle...

I'm the same as most of the rest of you.. lots of "whoo"-ing and laughing. Maybe an "aw yeah!" after a particularly forceful element or nice pop of airtime. Very rarely do I go silent, and even then it's usually on kiddie rides, with the occasional patronizing "whee" thrown in for fun.

^ Awkward.
