an opinion from the top Someone recently asked Neil Gaiman pretty much the same question, about the whole cgi vs puppetry thing. He handballed the question to Lisa Henson, who had this to say: Dear Neil, Some of our fans do sometimes get upset whenever we do anything new, particularly if...

has anyone seen boober? oh... i see. right. he's experiencing the ecstasy of ironing. a whole college of people to iron and starch for. i may never see him again.

Hoggle, Boober's in the laundry, and he's likely to sulk if you don't let him starch and iron your stuff. that crazy fraggle irons EVERYTHING. teatowels, socks. there was even an unfortunate incident with a cat... so by all means let him iron your clothes, it will make him happy for a good 20...

as a south pacific region comrade of peter jackson's, i support his complete lack of personal grooming. yay for him! and anyway, i thought it was a pretty shocking night for frocks all round... too many flesh coloured dresses with drab blonde hair, so hair, frock and skin were all the same...

well, boober... here we are! home sweet home. boober is furiously scrubbing the walls... i think he's a little germ paranoid. he's also doing a bit of home decorating. there is a line of flowerpots along the mantlepiece (for luck), and a large blue umbrella holder containing six walking...

cool! Boober might get a bit funny about the door-knocking, he always thinks that the door-knocker is going to turn into a creepy old man, or start talking to him, or that the door will ask him pesky riddles. how foolish. But i'm sure if he's wearing his lucky socks he will be able to buck...

the basement sounds great, i'm sure boober and i will have a great time hanging out with the other fraggles. hmm, well i would quite like room 9, but Boober is a bit down on that, because it's three squared, and he says that bad things come in threes and that three threes are almost as bad as...

oooh! can i have boober fraggle? i think his gloominess and my sunniness would result in wacky hijinks... there could even be a sitcom... Lili and Boober or maybe Boober and Lili... i wonder if he'd ever let me borrow that beret...

In one of Brian Henson's TMS intros, he tells a story about how a swedish businessman saw an episode of the muppet show and wrote in to inform them that the swedish chef was NOT ACTUALLY SPEAKING SWEDISH (or any other scandinavian language). Jim Henson wrote back saying that they were very...

from imdb.com I'm so excited! two of my favourite tv shows coming together in a beautiful union!! Big Bird Goes to the White House Marking what the British website Digital Spy described as "possibly the most bizarre cross-over between two series yet seen on television," several Sesame...

oh oh! look at me!! i'm a member!!! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *the peasants rejoice*

train of thought... there's a really good book called Skellig about a boy who finds an angel in his garage, but it's not a holy glowing angel, he's a bit fallen, and just looks like a cranky old man in a bad suit, and all he wants to do is eat chinese food and aspirin. great book.

help! i'm holding a valentine's day party for all my single friends to celebrate our freedom, and want to make an amusing and witty meal for them! any valentiney suggestions??

maybe it will be better now there is a new dumbledore... i am sorry richard harris (mayherestinpeace), but you just didn't have the sparkle... i hope michael gambon can do better...

sympathetic wisdom teeth flashback ugh. wisdom teeth was NO FUN. i knew it wasn't going to go well when i went to the dentist to look at my x-rays and he said "you know, you look a lot like nicole kidman" and then mumbled something about me having to go to hospital... and i love the way how...
