    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Heh, I caught "Kremlin" and Putin." I figured they wanted to Russify his karate yells. "Smile differently"? Wow. I don't know what that would mean. Maybe it's an in-joke or something. Thanks for the translation. What my friends came up with was nothing like that, but then they were...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    There wasn't a theatrical release in Russia? I wondered why...for about 0.03 of a second. Then, oh yeah... Out of curiosity, which Russian stereotypes didn't make sense and which did? And what were the Gulag inmates singing during their verse of Together Again Again? I showed transcribed...

    "Disney Drive On" possible new web series?

    It takes less work to set up an account than it does to complain about it and ask others to put the videos up on Youtube (which I won't do, because that too much wooooork.)

    Trash Heap origins?

    There are a lot of continuity conflicts between episodes of Fraggle Rock. I go with the episode in which the issue is a plot point. In this case, seeing the Trash Heap start to die when Philo and Gunge leave beats an offhand remark about McMooch.

    Definitive Map of the Rock?

    Since we only have vague hints where things are in relation to each other, such a map would depend more on the imagination of the artist than facts in the show. And those facts are sometimes contradictory; Gobo and Red climb high while following the path to Who Knows Where, then parachute down...

    Round / Sphere eyes question

    Huh! I'm going to have to try that. I've been Gorilla Gluing it to the bottom of the ball. Your solution sounds much better. Thanks for the tip!

    Round / Sphere eyes question

    I understand how you thread the wire into the ball, but how on earth do you get it to come back out?

    Round / Sphere eyes question

    BTW, I've been doing something similar to what you do. I glue florists' wire to the bottom of a ping pong ball, then run the wire through the head and twist it underneath. It is a pain and a half, trying to poke the ends of a bendy wire through fleece and foam.

    Sure, I'll post what I find in this thread.

    Round / Sphere eyes question

    I've Googled around and found nothing about Mercury's sphere eyes. But I did find their contact info, so I called their office in New York (718-498-1557) and requested a catalog.

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted on Blu-ray and DVD

    In the movie Big Papa had a tattoo on his neck. In the "inside the Gulag" video his tattoo is blurred out. Wonder why? What is it a tattoo of?

    Round / Sphere eyes question

    I'm on the Mercury Plastics site, and I see no store or search function. Where do you buy these from?

    Is Frozen overrated?

    I couldn't make it through that article. A quarter of the way I found myself skimming, and I threw in the towel at the halfway mark. I get it, she has a raging hate-on for the movie, and she will stop at nothing to tell you every reason you should too, at Ayn Rand levels of wordiness. All...

    When you need to rant...

    True dat. If your kids can't tell fiction from reality, methinks the parents haven't been raising their kids right. At the very least, they ought to be aware of what their kids see and provide guidance rather than asserting that the whole world should be G-rated for their little darlings' sake.

    Fraggle Rock El Musical

    I just found this while googling around. Well, first I found a trailer on Youtube... after which I found the number Fraggle Rock Rock: Looking around, I found a website for the company, which is apparently based in Madrid, Spain. The site has a gallery, writeup, and small jukebox...

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    Do you have a good story to tell? If so, I'd say go for it. Don't worry if an element seems overdone; if that was a limiting factor we'd have stopped seeing Kermit & Piggy fics long ago.

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    It seems that, following the disappointing domestic box office take MMW got, Disney has throttled way back on the Muppets. Before they were promoting it like gangbusters; now they're pulling out two-year-old promo videos that have been gathering dust on the shelves. My guess is that Disney...

    The official ALS Ice Bucket Challenge thread

    You don't have to participate if you don't want to. The charity police won't come to the door if you bah-humbug this. It's purely voluntary, and most people do it for the fun of it. I haven't heard any procedure concerning being challenged a second (or more) time. Me, I'd just say, "Okay...
