Wasn't there a part in Goldfinger book where he cured a womans lesbianism by basically raping her?

No, the rapey-ness is from the movie. In the book it's a scene right at the end where Pussy Galore turns up at Bond's bed, declares she's cured of lesbianism because he's a real man, and they have sex. It's pretty bad especially in how the scene infantilises her but it is clearly consensual.

Is this a family secret they only chose to reveal now, or did you just discover it by research?

Since we're discussing Bond, I must give this thread a recommendation.

They had to solve a rebus by gathering clues given to them by other family members. They just got the final piece.

research! my paternal line got totally erased in the holocaust and i am only just piecing it together.

basically this. our surname was spelt eighteen different ways and we lived in eight different countries over the course of a decade, during which time we all died. we're krymchaks, an ethnic group that was basically annihilated and is now functionally extinct - this may shed some light not just on me, but on bakshi, who is also a krymchak and therefore haunted by thousands of unfulfilled screaming ghosts

this also happened but was unrelated

Wow, I was just making a Sabrina the Teenage Witch joke. That's rough. sorry about your family nankeen.

Viacom/Nickelodeon is buying Paws Inc. I don't have a particular attachment to Garfield, but I'm not too fond of a mega corporation owning another piece of pop culture.

If nothing else, a photorealistic clockwork mouse robot is going to be terrifying. But no Vincent Price, no sale. I can’t imagine any living actor for Ratigan that would get me excited about this (cue someone in the thread doing just that)

Honestly, even though it isn't officially considered started until The Little Mermaid, The Great Mouse Detective is where I personally feel the Disney Renaissance Era started. Like, again, officially it isn't, I think TGMD bombed at the box office - I know Oliver and Company afterward did, anyway - but the quality of both films is at about the same level as most Renaissance Era films, so I wouldn't sleep on either.

TGMD wasn't a blockbuster but it made some cash. It's been cited, at least in retrospect, as the turning point that helped Disney be willing to put money back into their animation department. So it may not have officially been the start of the Renaissance, but it's evidently what let it get financed.

It was a moderate success, which was enough for Disney to have faith in their animation department still being viable and allow Musker and Clemens to helm more projects, the next being The Little Mermaid. So yes, while not a huge smash hit GMD was the catalyst to usher in the Renaissance period.

goddamn it Disney why are you doing this instead of giving Atlantis or Black Cauldron another go

I never actually looked them up to compare, so:



Huh. Neither was a box office success by any means, but I had no idea RtED did that badly. I guess that's why we never got, I dunno, Road To The New World or whatever.

Having just seen The Lion King I have only this one thing to ask: what is with modern Disney being so sexless? Forget that "can you feel the love tonight" was shot in broad daylight, there is no sex between Nala and Simba, like they lick each other a couple times and then just go chill on a rock next to each other. It's just so boring and lifeless
