    If Muppets were played by real actors

    Well said. Actually, Steve Carrell MIGHT be able to pull it off. Depends on the Piggy. ------------

    MSTies unite!

    ------------- My buddy Marty and I had that as our daily greeting to one another for months. "Rock climbing." "Rock climbing..." Lola, far as I know the shows are unrated. Judging by some of the jokes in "Manos" I'd say probably PG-13. Most of the audience in the theatre where I attended the...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I couldn't believe Liam Neeson had a part in that. Dude, really? Paydays that tight? ----------------

    If Muppets were played by real actors

    -------------- Eh...I like some of those picks, Jamie, but I have to disagree: Duchovny is simply NOT expressive enough facially to play Kermit. I cannot ever picture him doing a scrunchy mouth!! Though I'd have to give it a lot of thought to say who SHOULD take that role. I do like Buscemi as...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    ------------- Hey, they shoved it onto my Google Plus feed. Needless to say I terminated that link fast. I honestly believe you can often tell how bad a kids' film is by the amount of pushing the stuff down people's throats they do prior to release! --------------

    Star Wars DETOURS

    ------------ Thanks Ed. Now I really, REALLY have to see that movie again! Sooooo many wonderfully awful jokes. And Bill Pullman. And John Candy. And Rick Moranis...I'll just shut up now... But yeah, this thing looks cute. --------------

    Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny - Worst Movie Ever?

    ----------- Oooh, I remember that Ed...but not which movie. My fave credit crawl is still the "USA Movie of the Week" riff (from "Outlaw," I think) where they make up C-list actress credits for questionably soft-porn flicks shown on that network during the '90s. Rock Climbing! Yes, Rock...

    So We'll Go No More A-Roving, for Fear of Furry Monsters

    -------------- I consider the song one of their humorous one-offs, not a genius work, but I specifically wanted something which Gonzo could do a softshoe to, and this is the one that sprang to mind...plus given poor Rosie's letdown, it seemed apropo. :) If I had to go for a fave SNZ it would be...

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    -------------- Give it a shot. Sounds like you respect the story (and the series), and all the stories on Storyteller came from regional legends and fairytales to begin with, so it's not like you're ripping anything off, either! Heck, why make it a fanfic? (Unless you plan on using the...

    What do you know about dreams?

    ------------- Thank you guys for making me giggle. Needed that. :news: ------------

    I don't wanna grow up...

    ------------- Frog I feel old. Students in MY day didn't have their own phones...unless it was that thing with a super-long cord which you dragged down the hall to chat with friends in your room... *feeling around for glasses, which are on nose* Now where'd I leave those danged things...

    Worried about going into high school...

    ------------- Figgie, bring your own lunch -- it's easier and probably a heckuva lot better tasting! I ate in the school lunchroom once...ONCE. Immediately moved to the courtyard and brought my own every day. People who drop their friends due to lower GPAs? Seriously? That's not much of a...

    Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny - Worst Movie Ever?

    ------------- SATICB...sounds like an intercontinental missile type! I dunno if it can be called THE worst. Most plotless, maybe, and it's a contendah, but there are plenty of others unworthy enough of the award. See ref's made in other threads to "Red Zone Cuba" and anything by the same...

    MSTies unite!

    ----------- Very cool! Yeah I'm hoping either they or Rifftrax will actually come near enough to me for me to afford to go see 'em live in person. Been too many years. Meanwhile...I think my next selections for owning will be "Teenagers from Outer Space" (love the skeleton ray and the killer...

    MSTies unite!

    ------------ Frank IS Frank. That's not an act. Oh, and seeing him dancing in a black leotard and tutu to "Frank Is the Best Frank" during the live show was EPIC! Trace is a little reticent around strangers, but he gamely enough sat there and signed autographs for everyone for hours. I don't...

    One Shots, Parodies, & Trailers!

    ------------ What? You're stopping THERE? *pout* But I like this! *bouncing lightly on the bed* Boingy, boingy, boingy... :news: What's that? A bed. :news: Even with my glasses off I could see THAT. *scowl* What are you DOING on it? I'm not sure. Come help me figure it out...

    After the Funeral

    -------------- Very sweet. I like the detail that Jerry had known Floyd hated black clothing. Short but to the point. -------------

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    ------------- My only problem with death of anything but a minor, minor character in a fic is that amateur writers tend to exploit it soap-opera style, wrenching every last drop of possible pathos from it for the sheer love of making their readers writhe...those with sensitive constitutions...

    Unofficial Picture Thread!
