Requiem For Airplane
(Note: This is a partial repost of the original). The recent passing of Peter Graves has, like many of our readers I’m sure, brought up fond memories of the movie Airplane, and of course how great he was in that movie It occurs to me that as much as they may TRY and replicate it, Hollywood consistently misses the mark....
CORRECTING: How to fix The Phantom Menace
(Note: This is a repost of the original.)
With this article, we embark on a bold new task: Correct that which needs Correcting. To that end, we focus today on the most reviled of the Star Wars films: Episode I, The Phantom Menace.
This task is not an easy one, for there is much that needs fixing.
1) As the point of the exercise is to Correct, any mockery of the source material must be relevant, on point, or incredibly funny.
2) No new characters are allowed, unless justification for their necessity can be made. Existing characters may be removed.
3) Any solutions provided, by The Correctness or comment posters, is subject to ridicule and nitpicking.
4) There is no collaboration between The Correctness, nor do we read one another’s entries until after posting our own.

The Correctness Casting Couch: Storm
(Note: This is a repost of the original).
Part 4 in our series in which we deny up and down that it is a piss poor excuse to post pictures of hot actresses. This justification comes from our earnest belief that some of our favorite Comic Book Heroines have been horribly miscast, and we suggest a few alternatives. Today we recast Storm arguably the most powerful mutant in the Marvel Universe. (In any kind of real life scenario, someone who controls the weather runs the world, but we’ll save that for another article)

The Correctness Discussion Topic #1
(Note: This is a repost of the original)
Today’s Topic:
Hobbes is to Calvin what Tyler Durden is to Edward Norton’s unnamed Narrator in Fight Club.
Things to consider….
1) Everyday when he comes home from school, Hobbes pounces on Calvin, thus he is fighting himself
2)Hobbes may be an extension of Calvin’s personality he may not be ready to deal with yet, ie: his latent attraction to Suzie Derkins. In the Movie, it’s Tyler who bangs Marla, the Edward Norton character doesn’t even admit to being attracted to her.
3) All of these characters are, in their own way rebelling against authority
4) People who have a decal of Calvin peeing on the logo of a rival truck do NOT get Calvin and Hobbes. AT ALL.
Discuss.
Please note the Correctness has received a special dispensation, and we can, this one time, talk about Fight Club
