My 92 year old Mother is wondering if she'd like the Lego movie. The thing is she is totally not into comics. So how many of the adult jokes can you get if you don't, for example, know that Batman's parents are dead and that he lives in a gloomy mansion and so on. I mean Mom is pretty up there on music. But the whole SciFi/Fantasy/Comic book part of popular culture just never intersected with her She does like Orphan Black, but that is pretty self-sufficient in terms of the SciFi aspect. YOu don't need to have seen a ton of other shows or movies to get it.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
There are only a few jokes like that, Typo Boy. The reference humor is great, but most of the humor is general cleverness and fun.

I first spotted this picture in an LotR gaming book
This is in the Glittering Caves during the Battle of Helm's Deep. On the other side of the column, there's an Orc, and Eowyn has obvious been kicking some serious ass, by the blood on her hands. Where is this scene! I was praying it would be in the Extended version. Did they decide to save her badassery for Return of the King? Did they want to make it something that she only pulled out after Aragorn told her not to pine for him?
If I ever meet Peter Jackson, I'm goign to have words with him about Eowyn.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
TMD is infinitely superior to "Ghost." That is one of the movies that causes me to have huge bouts of deeply cathartic crying.
In other news, I saw the Lego movie this weekend. Dear lord, that was fabulous. And the cameo appearances! Also, I never a thought a movie could make me like Will Ferrell, but this one did it.
