Inspired by Drtooth's post on "Am I the only one..." thread about Polish movie posters, I've decided to create a thread about movie posters in general. Like Drtooth, I really like the hand-drawn/painted posters like the Muppet movies up until From Space, along with the Star Wars and Indiana...

Yet another powerful televangelist caught with his robe down: http://www.twincities.com/national/ci_21915088/crystal-cathedral-founder-seeks-5m-from-church?source=rss Pastor Robert Schuller, ex-founder of the world-renowned Crystal Cathedral and TV show Hour of Power, filed a lawsuit against...

The counterpart to "Overused Plots in Movies or TV". This is about songs that seem to get used A LOT in entertainment. Here are some of the most notable to me. - "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood. Any time you need to establish a "tough" character (most notably the Terminator), you use...

I've heard a lot about this show and how trashy and offensive toward Christianity it is, and now it's getting cancelled due to poor ratings. http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/television/headlines/20120511-gcb-gets-cancelled.ece I've never seen GCB so I'm pretty indifferent about this...

This thread is about the cereals we like (or dislike) the most, including discontinued ones. I never really had a lot of big name cereals as a kid until I got to grade school. What I mostly ate at home was organic stuff whose names now escape me. It wasn't until I was older that I ate stuff...

After being inspired by a few of Drtooth's posts regarding the pervasive style of animation on television that is Adobe Flash, I thought about creating a thread dedicated to it. I also think that Flash can look good if done right, even fairly close to traditional/cel animation. Best uses: -...

http://io9.com/5835951/darth-vader-will-lose-a-little-more-of-his-dignity-in-star-wars-original-trilogy-blu+rays-listen-for-yourself George Lucas is not satisfied with turning the puppet Yoda in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace into a CG creation. Or just fixing some of the wonky lightsabre...

"Dr. Death" is dead at 83 due to kidney problems and pneumonia. Regardless of your stance on assisted suicide and people's right to die, I believe he wasn't an evil man, and he should be allowed to rest in peace.

So, to celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th anniversary, Sega is making this, which stars the modern, skinny, green-irised Sonic teaming up with his classic, chubby, black-eyed counterpart in Green Hill Zone. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/116/1162323p1.html This certainly looks promising...

Or "Responsibility-Free Parenthood" as Drtooth calls them. http://www.commercialfreechildhood.org/actions/schoolbusads.html Well, it seems this anti-Saturday Morning moral guardian group is now targeting schools who use their buses as billboards for McDonald's and the like. Sure, this seems...

A little bit late, but the "godfather of fitness" Jack Lalanne is dead at 96 from pneumonia. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2011/01/jack-lalanne-dead-at-96-fitness-guru.html http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41225595/ns/us_news-life/ This is a bit odd considering how fit and active he was...

For every good puppet like the Muppet Show or Puzzle Place characters, there are dozens of awful ones. Here's what I think are some of the worst: - These ones come from an awful, low-budget, straight-to-video SS wannabe called Peppermint Park. The human characters especially look ugly with...

Does anyone go to this place? For those who don't know, it's a website dedicated literary devices; themes; and settings, and the works that feature them. I also have an account there, too. http://tvtropes.org/ I occasionally use troper terminology, as TV Tropes has ruined my vocabulary as well...

Today is the day I truly become a man! I am 21 years old right now! :)

This thread is a parallel to the "Music parodies you wish SS could have done" thread. As the title says, we talk about what movie or TV parodies you wish SS could have done. Here are a few of mine. After seeing It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World about a month ago, I think they should've done a...

It seems that for every successful SS character like Big Bird, Oscar, and Elmo, there are neglected ones like Placido Flamingo, Don Music, and of course Ruby. For those who don't know, Ruby was a yellow monster who appeared from 1988 to 1992, and was possibly written out of the show due to her...

This thread is where we talk about actress Linda Bove. When I was young, I never understood why Linda didn't speak normally, but it wasn't until a few years later that I realized she couldn't hear, so she helped me understand what deafness is and how deaf people communicate. From 1972 to 2003...

Amazing how this monster first came to be by accident, when Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt were playing around on the set, and they both thought they looked like a monster with two heads! Some people say Bert and Ernie are the best duo, but I think these guys, er, this guy, is even better...
