Yes. But Violet's hair was really shiny, and Mrs. Incredible had awesome highlights. That's what I meant.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

I also liked Elastigirl's flip when she was sassy and single.

I love how they aged Elastigirl--she had hips!

Oh, yeah, the sassy and single flip was totally great.
Also, you knew who the bad guy was because he had horrible hair. It's one of those clues to life. I was iffy about Mirage, because her hair was a cool color, and a trendy cut, and yet also weird looking. So I didn't know if she was bad or good. Even after the credits started rolling, I was still wondering.
The moment where Elastigirl checked out her hips in the mirror was priceless.

Hey. New board.
I had some issues with early Violet hair, just because the way she was wearing it was so Samara (from The Ring).
Still my favorite Incredible, though, creepy vibes and all.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
You weren't alone in making that connection, NovaChild. Seeing the movie made me resolve that if I ever play a super-hero themed RPG again, I'm going to create a Ghost Girl character in that mold with appropriately creepy powers.

Violet was totally Teen Titans' Raven. I keep wanting to call her Raven.

"Casablanca," which was No. 1 on AFI's list of best love stories
But Casablanca wasn't really a love story. I honestly have no idea why those two were in love with each other. I mean, I was told again and again that they were, and that this seemed to have happened in Paris, and they had some chemistry, but I honestly never saw the love. And then I was creeped out by the whole "think for me" thing. And then there was the completely gay ending, but I felt like that gay love story wasn't really featured as it should have been, in order to be called a love story.
Whatever. I realize my opinion of Casablanca is the minority opinion.

Yes, Casablanca is a love story, but it's not a love story between Rick and Ilsa, it's a love story between Rick and Captain Renault, but because of the era it was made in, it's very much in the closet.
