| Mental institutions - we got rid of them all, and we shouldn't have. We went from institutionalizing too many people to institutionalizing nobody. Some people need to be put somewhere they can receive around-the-clock mental health care. Society needs to be protected from some people. Lanza was one... |

| I do wish that DreamWorks was still doing 2D animated films. They aren't the most memorable of films but the animation is absolutely stunning. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is my favorite of the four. The CGI used to help the animation blends in almost flawlessly. I also prefer the way the charac... |

Pixar, you sold out.
They sure did.
I've been weary of all the shorts and specials they've been doing because the way they ended TS3 was just too brilliant and a perfect way to end the franchise. I didn't think Pixar would stoop any lower than the planned Cars 3, but come on... |

| So Season 5 is really good? I'm late to the walking dead boat and just marathoned season 1,2,3 and I'm at the halfway point of season 4 but 4 feels like such a downer. I think two seasons in the prison was a bit too long maybe and I'm just ready for new stuff. Perhaps I'll force myself to finish th... |

| I'd like to share an author's note from Robert Kirkman himself, the creator of the comic, who had this note published in Issue #1. I'm not trying to scare anybody. If that somehow happens as a result of reading this comic that's great, but really... that's not what this book is about. What you now h... |

One downside however when things like this get more 'popular' sometimes you end up with people who just go for the image which can be confusing....tha... |

I guess I would see it seemed there used to be less commercials. I actually don't watch t.v for that very reason, if there is a show I like I prefer to st... |

| It's weird but the shows aimed at preschoolers and the younger set aren't that bad. They're still educational and still have some substance to them. It's the shows aimed at older children that have been dumbed down to ridiculous heights. Pretty much every live action sitcom on the Disney Channel has... |
