Ah the tribulations of free speech! :halo:

I've always been a fan of Chances Are, a romantic comedy from 1989. Well, I don't know if everyone hates it, but it does receive a lot of undeserved flack, IMO. Basically the story is this guy meets and falls in love with a girl, only to realize he was her father in his previous life (he was...

I agree. It's one thing for them to realize they're being a burden on Kermit in, say, MTM. That's a poignant moment between friends. It's another for them to be so embarrassingly incompetent in MMW. You end up wondering why Kermit would ever want them around in the first place, lol. Thing...

The Outsiders is a good coming of age book. There's a movie as well but I haven't seen it yet. American Graffiti's a classic coming of age movie I'd highly recommend as well.

While the idea of more Muppet character development is definitely fun, there's so much I adore about the Muppet Show guest star moments. It's hard to describe. The whole idea of celebrity can become very jaded and distasteful. But it's so lovely to see these people in unpretentious, loving...

This kind of thing is very hard, nearly impossible, to judge. Actors can take any bad situation and make it look like it's the time of their lives. And it's not really fair to judge the musician guests because they're not actors; they're just trying their best and it's not unusual for those...

Every TV show, if left on the air too long, will eventually decline in quality. It's like that Stevie Wonder song, "Nothing can ever, and be in time, stay gold." Another way I like to look at it is what George Harrison reportedly said about Monty Python. That whatever spirit made the Beatles...

It's a cycle. People are raised in a mean, horrible environment, and they become mean and horrible. We're very delicate as creatures when you think about it.

Why we have separation of church and state in this country is so groups like Westboro don't gain any real power. I don't mean to go all patriotic, America isn't perfect, but there are some countries that might benefit from this example.

Well yes and no. I'm grateful we have moderates because extremists by their nature don't see the world clearly.

It is more than a little redundant to constantly hear "Not everyone in a religion is bad." Yes, thanks, we do know that! Lol. That doesn't mean there isn't a serious problem. I remember there was this author who was saying the problem is that while there are some moderate Muslims, there aren't...

Well first off, they're kinda terrified of the consequences. I don't blame them, but somebody needs to take a stand at some point. Some of them just resent ever being lumped in with the extremists. Again, I can understand, but again, there's a bigger picture here. And to be blunt, the media...

Somehow I doubt the victims in Egypt and the Middle East would agree with you. There's a reason why Christians are targeted. They represent the opposite of what these idiot extremists believe in. As does Judaism in Israel, the only real democracy in the Middle East. Well we're Americans...

Ask for forgiveness...and then don't sin again. That's the part we still haven't figured out, heh.

Oh you're right! Yeah I guess it's probably always been a bit controversial. It's a business and they don't want to alienate audiences. But yeah I do remember Animaniacs doing a Christmas episode that featured the Nativity scene, they were singing "Little Drummer Boy" I believe. There is a way...

Actually when the show started it might have been more allowed than it is now. I've seen episodes of Howdy Doody where the host talked about the audience going to church or synagogue. It certainly became controversial to mention God on a kid's show, but I dont think it was outright not allowed...

Hey, Godzilla might be amazing. I'm just saying I've had enough experiences where fans complimented a movie to high heaven...and then I was sitting there in the theater wondering why I came, lol.

Not saying action movies all used to be brilliant. But in my opinion I have yet to see the Die Hard of the modern era. Nor am I expecting to see one. That's not Hollywood's priority anymore because audiences are willing to settle for less. That's what I mean when I say I don't trust fan...

I doubt the problem is with you. In my opinion, Hollywood rarely makes decent action movies anymore. It's all just "How much stuff can we blow up?!"

I didn't see it either, but I'm more and more wary of masses of fans liking something. It's just not a guarantee of quality anymore. Anymore than the critics are.
