That's why I never got into comics. I wanted stories to end, and not have to worry about trying to keep up and get the next issue.

They're trying to bring that same formula to the movies - you have to tie everything into the Marvel universe, and have every movie and tv show align. I'd rather see some good stories without having to tie everything in and beat dead horses. Just let those horses be.

Let's see... peanut allergy. For the first couple of years, you don't need to take the kid anywhere but to relatives' houses. After a certain age, your child should be made aware of the allergy, and that's why you provide an alternate activity - perhaps host a Halloween party yourself.

It doesn't have to be all about the candy. And most carrot sticks will end up in the garbage since they are a: not prepackaged (a Halloween no-no), and b) not candy (another Halloween no-no).

Apparently, the word "snuck" has been in use since the 19th Century. To say there is "no such word" is erroneous. The word exists in common usage. Although the dictionary prefers "sneaked", it includes "snuck." Zeon is perfectly justified in using it.

Also, I would point out that you should have used parentheses instead of commas to separate the words "it's capitalized" from the rest of your sentence. Otherwise, it's a sentence fragment.

Plus, your capitalization correction for the term "grammar nazi" is not a cut-and-dry issue, either. Some prefer to reserve the capitalized term for references to the Nazi party itself, and to keep the lowercase for general terms. Others insist that both words should be capitalized, which makes a little more sense to me than your suggestion. However, I disagree. There may be rare times when it could be used as a title, or for emphasis, but it's most often a common noun.

A grammar nazi is not referring to a member of the Nazi party, or to misguided adherents of the Nazi principles. But, it works nicely for emphasis in such exclamations as "You, Sir, are a Grammar Nazi!" (note that I also capitalized Sir, for emphasis)

So many.
I seem to watch 12 Monkeys whenever it comes on. And anything by Monty Python. I seem to catch Back to the Future 3 occasionally.
Christmas time used to be the old animated Grinch Who Stole Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, and the B&W Alistair Sim Christmas Carol.
For a twist ending, Sixth Sense is still fun to catch bits of occasionally.

Perhaps people tend to lose the individuality of their looks as they age. Also, doesn't Hollywood search for people who have a certain look? I would also guess that they like to stick to the formula - if one movie works, copy it to death. If one set of looks works, find a lookalike.
