I really like Prairie Fires. The Little House books and TV show were always interesting to me. It seemed like a fairy tale world. My third grade class also did a unit on pioneers around the time I read those books and I've always liked history. A lot of what I learned about pioneers seemed really whitewashed in hindsight. We barely knew about First Nations people except that they were one with nature. I grew up in Canada and First Nations education seemed ignored right up until Grade 10. We learned about smallpox blankets and residential schools then. I didn't even know Stanley Park was once inhabited by First Nations until a year ago. At least in British Columbia they are trying to teach more First Nations history and culture in schools now. My education did not age well. Also, are there any more books like Prairie Fires that are about the real histories behind pop culture?

Scaramouche posted:That was... actually not nearly as crazy and strident as I was expecting (old SNPP hand here). There's some interesting stuff here for anyone who wants a relatively well-argued opinion on the decline of the Simpsons. I don't actually agree with a some of it (I see "The Principal and the Pauper" as more of chaotic burn down the world moment rather than "The writers were out of ideas, and the fans were attached to what they already knew") but unlike a lot of material like this I can't imagine the author wiping flecks of foam out of his beard while he writes it. The old Simpsons comments were nuts. They rated Homer goes to College as terrible. I barely existed back in those days so thanks for archiving the old episode capsules.

sexpig by night posted:is it possible for a reboot to be so bad it makes its old version age better? One bold team dares to say 'absolutely yes let's do it'. Did Reddit make this?

I somehow liked Megababies for one full minute when I was a kid.

The Mask kinda freaked me out as a kid. It doesn't surprise that he was originally evil.

Joel Hodgson once caught Gallagher going through Joel's things without his permission (WTF) Also the Rice Krispie dudes being gay bit sounds like something you would find on DeviantArt

Ambitious Spider posted:You Only Live Twice. What could go wrong with bond having fun adventures in Japan? That reminds me of the time George Takei described one of his first film roles. One of his lines was "I am simple Japanese gardener!" Cue the Asian music.

Heres something that aged...weirdly. I've been replaying Earthbound and those faith-healers (idk what they are called) in the hospitals sure do look a lot different in the Covid era. At least the ones in Earthbound actually work. Also the stuff about Monotoli and the cops hits different as an adult.

Shrek was the movie that afterschool groups and the like put on for the kids to watch when I was growing up. I think it was the only animated movie cynical adults liked.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The n-word used to be a popular name for dogs up until at least the 1950s (and that has some loving layers to it), most notably the dog which was the mascot of the Dam Busters air squadron in WW2. There were complaints as recently as 2001 over modern movies about the Dam Busters either dropping all mention of the dog or changing its name to 'Trigger'. My great-grandfather used to have a dog named that. It was a black lab IIRC
