Well from I've read, people just think the actress is too stick skinny to play a warrior woman realistically. Hollywood still thinks anorexic equals sexy. And for the record while I didn't hate the last Superman movie, I can't say I'll be watching it again any time soon, hehe. The current...

It really depends. Some addicts can hold down jobs but that's not good in a way because it can convince you that you don't really have a problem. How it happened shouldn't be forgotten because this is a mistake Hollywood continues to make. But there is also no point in trashing anyone. We all...

That's the essence of advertising. Create a need. Convince people something is missing in their lives. If these companies were given truth serum, they would say, "There's no profit in a positive body image." Hehe ;)

Muppeteer sounds too much like Mouseketeer, I can kinda understand a grown man not wanting to be called that, hehe.

My Dad loves Pete Seeger. The guy definitely accomplished a lot in his life. :)

To be fair they keep claiming it hasn't been this cold since the 1800's or something.

I get the impression the Muppets is a rather personal topic for him. I was at the event too; Seriously has it really been 5 years???

Great thread idea! Yeah I have to confess when I was a kid, B&W shows did bore me a bit (I did get over that eventually, hehe). But I watched the Dennis the Menace cartoon all the time. I still remember random bits of episodes. Though my favorite Dennis the Menace anything was this weird TV...

Oh yes, every jock in my school drank Surge, though there were always whispers about possible side effects, lol.

Ohh true, Rocket Power could be pretty grating as well, lol. Yay, they're all great at sports! Um....good for them? :skeptical: Don't get me wrong, it's great to encourage kids to be active. It was just a little too obnoxious for me, hehe.

I'm right there with you. If some people were inspired by W&G, that's great. But Hayes' character was little better than a Minstrel Show. I didn't consider it progress at all. And it's ridiculous to say if you didn't like W&G, then you're insulting the gay community. An entire community's...

I totally get that people want to see more LGBTQ characters on TV and I'm in full support of that. But yeah I'm not sure constantly falling back on stereotypes is going to progress things. I'm reminded of a discussion I read once on a message board for writers. Everyone agreed that if you have...

In other words, asking questions is a good way, but it's not a fool proof way. :)

Yeah she just didn't grow into any new role as she got older. What was shocking back in 1985 is groan worthy now.

She's clearly not racist, it was just an awkward, immature attempt to appear hip and relevant.

As annoying as it is, settling is part of any career on occasion. You have to take your knocks for a long time before being able to fully take control of your destiny.

Well sometimes these things are out of your hands. If you want a bigger company to publish your work a lot of times the catch is that the bigger company ends up with ownership.

"You know I lived with a guy for years, a real genius. I mean he could tell a couple of cocoanuts, a piece of string and make a nuclear reactor. But he couldn't fix a two foot hole in a boat!" ;) --Gilligan/Bob Denver (in a very funny cameo from 1987's Back to the Beach).

Yeah there are some Internet people who can get really pushy with commissions or role playing. If you feel uncomfortable you have to politely tell them no and promptly cut them off.

I imagine a lot of artists encounter that phenomenon where they accidently become known for one thing.
