The first paragraph of Steve Daly's review of the new "Jungle Book" DVD in last week's Entertainment Weekly:
***
What is it about wild bears that makes us want to cuddle up to them, despite the chance that they could rip us to pieces? (Godspeed, Grizzly Man Timothy Treadwell.) Maybe it's because they're furry on top of being fleshy, a doubly tactile appeal. No wonder hefty gay men have idealized bear attributes into an entire subculture — but that's another story.
***
Uh, yeah, it sure as hell is. That's one bonus feature I'm glad isn't on the disc.
I respect Daly for trying to inject some perspective into a 4-paragraph EW-style review, but what's next? A treatise on the Richard Gere gerbil urban legend when Ratatouille comes to DVD?
