In the early ’90s, Home Improvement was prime entertainment. With the power of too much time on my hands and urge to Google JTT, this is what the Taylor family and co. is definitely up to 13 years later…

Clarissa explained it all — we know that from the title and dedicating ourselves her every word — but the thing that was never explained was where Clarissa and her family ended up. Did Clarissa and Sam wind up together, did Ferguson ever become a normal human being? So many questions that we’ll try to explain…

We can easily Google where the actors are and stalk them out on Twitter for an @ reply, but we’re left with only assumptions about the actual characters. Did Eric ever amount to anything? How many kids did Cory and Topanga have? Mr. Feeny ever retire?

Tweens screaming, collecting everything a cutie’s face is on, and fits of the shakes when near them… for a character in a book? For generations, teenybopping was reserved for heartthrob actors in cutesy movies and TV shows and skillfully-crafted boy bands. No more.

Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are timeless tales about kids who live against the norm, teaching us life lessons like individuality, bravery and hope. However, there is one Roald Dahl book I’ve forever yearned to be turned into a live-action movie: The BFG.

What happened to the spirit of childhood in movies? They didn’t have to be blockbusters, all they had to be was entertaining. Tin Tin and Hugo are beautiful, but do they compare to the value of Blank Check or The Mighty Ducks series? I don’t think so.

At the end of the day I sit and wonder, why haven’t we gotten a Jetsons movie? We’re in the “future” now, and since Apple hasn’t given us flying cars and homes in the sky, then Hollywood should. Lucky for them, I have a cast in mind.

Have your Batman, take your Spider-Man, and love your Superman — just leave me Captain Planet. While making the environmentally conscious cartoon from the ’90s into a live action movie has been my dream for some time, I fear it will take a turn for cheesy. But that hasn’t stopped me from imagining the perfect cast for the film.

Remember when people panicked because they thought the Zodiac signs were going to change? While you laugh at your friend who swears she’s going to find her true love because Mars is in her Moon wave, sit back and see who and what made 2011 newsworthy.
