comic panel featuring Batman and a cow standing dramatically in the rain. Batman says "this is where I watched my parents die, cow tools cow." The cow responds, her word bubble containing only the lump-with-handle cow tool.

It's one of those songs where the title doesn't quite match the repeated chorus phrase! (Another example: everyone being surprised to learn that the 4 Non Blondes song is called "What's Up?" and not "What's Going On?")
people still make jokes about why gandalf doesn't just get the eagles to fly him to mordor
but the answer is very simple: gandalf is an absolute dude
and we know how the dude feels about the eagles
Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

The three that Agent Smith gives when interrogating Morpheus:

Just want to shoutout @tbskyen.com, itβs an honor to have our pilot absolutely dissected by every frame. Thank you, everyone worked so hard, you even shout out often overlooked departments! Itβs so motivating seeing someone dig into it this much. ππ» Makes every second worth it.

Fortunately, despite this mistake, whoever was working on the subtitles did make the requested change: the word "I'm" is indeed in italics!
17.09.2025 00:04 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Photo of a TV screen showing the 1993 film The Bride with White Hair. The subtitle's first line is the female character's movie dialogue: "*I'm* asking you where the jade is." (The word "I'm" is in italics.) The second subtitle line is definitely not in the movie, and reads: "The 'I'm' should be italicised, please look into and correct."
Eureka's Blu-rays normally have good subtitle quality control. But today I watched their edition of The Bride With White Hair, and I think it's the first time I've ever seen a translator/editor's note accidentally make it into the subtitle track!
