Kurt Vonnegut is dead at the age of 84. "I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different." This is the first death outside of a close friend's or a member of my own family - essentially, the first death of someone I have never met - that has...

Since nothing really matches the wonder and excitement of that gorgeous time of year known as SPRING BREAK, it is a necessity that we type it in all caps. So, has your SPRING BREAK happened yet? If not, when? What did you do? What are you doing? Mine begins this Friday. You know, Good...

Being on a Muppet forum, I don't think I'm alone in saying that I'm a HUGE television junkie. The only shows I watch on a weekly basis are on Thursdays on NBC - My Name is Earl, The Office, Scrubs, 30 Rock, and Andy Barker P.I. When I can, I watch Everybody Hates Chris. And I quite enjoy the...

I have a friend named Paul Fidalgo who's an actor with the American Shakespeare Company, but his real passion is for music. He's released one album thus far, entitled Paul Is Making Me Nervous. If you've got the time to spare, I implore you to listen to some of Paul's stuff here. Let me know...

This is an upcoming film to be released sometime this year, and based on the description alone, I'm excited. Jerry is a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant he suspects of causing his headaches. But he inadvertently causes his brain to become magnetized, leading to the...

This is something I've wondered for a while. There had to be something like a huge wall separating Doc's house and the Gorgs' garden. Or maybe they were just really far apart. But even so, wouldn't someone have noticed them? It simply doesn't make sense. Maybe they're invisible to everyone but...

I win the award for best dual-meaning thread title of the day. M. Night Shyamalan (writer/director of The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, and Lady in the Water) has announced that his next film is in development for a June 2008 release. Its title is The Happening. He was shopping...

Obviously, if a new Muppet show were to happen, it wouldn't be for a while. But if it were announced that a new variety show starring the Muppets was on the way, who would you want to see as a guest host? For whatever reason, I'd really like to see Donald Trump on The Muppet Show. :o

I was at the thrift store yesterday and discovered this wonderful little book by Stephanie St. Pierre, who was a childhood friend of Lisa Henson's. It's basically just a Jim biography, nothing we haven't heard before, but it was still a great little read. And at 106 pages I finished it in under...

I'm about to head to my school for Tech Day for our musical, Beauty and the Beast. After that I've got a meeting with my improv troupe for a few hours. Then it's off to a double feature of Zodiac and Black Snake Moan. Tomorrow I've got work from 8-2 P.M. and then the UNC/Duke game at 4 (GO...

This thread stems from the fact that Rainn Wilson is hosting next week and that Arcade Fire is hosting. With all the big names that left (or were fired) in the past few years, like Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz, many people thought the show would keep getting worse(r[er]). On the...

For the next three weeks, I'll be attending a Shakespeare/acting camp in Virginia. I've been going there for three years now, and I love it. It's a really unique experience, and it's easy to grow close to the other campers ad counselors. It's like having a family away from home. So, when I...

Love, whether it be between couples family, or friends, is the most important thing you can ever have. I was taught early on that without love, we're nothing. I think that it's more than a simple emotion, it's the emotion that all others are rooted to. Anger, sympathy, humor... it all comes from...

Here's the review I wrote for Cars on MySpace. If it isn't apparent, I really, really loved the movie. If you're a Pixar fan, then I think you might, too.

Figure the trend might keep going. :attitude: I love in The Great Muppet Caper when he sticks his head out of the door and says, "You're all weirdos!" I don't remember the episode, but in the first season of The Muppet Show, he helps Rowlf read a poem, and he flubs the poem terribly, and...

Anyone here have a DVD Aficionado account? I've had one for a while now, and I love it. Here's my account. I know. I have a lot. That's kind of an understatement. But, you know, a lot of people my age spend money on drugs and alcohol. I would say that I made the right choice in where I put my...

Is anyone else a fan of this absolutely genius show? I just bought the third season (and now I have the first three), and I just saw an episode (entitled My Screw Up) that reminds me why I love this show so much. The episode has a lot of very funny moments, and then, at the end, turns into...

Seriously... from '77-'89, he was THE man. Of course, his cameo in The Muppet Movie is genius. He turns the simplest dialogue into some of the funniest human lines in the movie. I crack up whenever he says "Oh, may I?" I think his masterpiece is The Jerk, although I really enoy him in Dead...

Charlie Chaplin was seriously one of the greatest entertainers known to man, next to Jim Henson. I've actually made up a Muppet Show episode in my head where Chaplin was a guest star, and the entire episode was silent. It was awesome. :sympathy: Anyway, is anyone else a fan? City...

Character-wise. After watching the first season on DVD, I've gotta say I really miss Wayne and Wanda. They're very funny characters. Hilda's quite funny, too.
