    Is anyone interested in a great books thread?

    And isn't Rimbaud referred to in Eddie and the Cruisers? "A Season in Purgatory?" Or something about Purgatory.... Or am I misremembering? Jennifer

    I bought a PT Cruiser today!

    Just thought I'd share with you guys. No special reason, I just don't have anything else to do, and I spent all my money, so.... I bought my very first brand-new-never-owned-by-anyone-else car today! An electric blue PT Cruiser that I have named Betty. I'm still reeling from the experience...

    The Muppets head for Oz

    I'll drink to that! The most annoying couple since Tom and Nicole! It's been a very long time since I read the Baum books, but I'm willing to wait and see what the folks at Henson will do with the material. I may be joining you in the hills.... Jen

    This Just in: Disney Strike

    Of course I wrote it. I live in Orange County, CA, the land of both Disneyland and the Super Supermarket Strike. Inspiration is all around. What can you do? I'm not a professional writer, I'm just an H.R. slave. I'd be very afraid to try to work as a comedic writer because I don't think...

    This Just in: Disney Strike

    Disneyland: Following the ousting of Michael Eisner, the Disney Characters have all gone on strike in protest. They remain outside the front gates of Disneyland preventing tourists from entering the park. When asked for comment, Grumpy said, "the whole thing just ****** me off." Sleepy...

    Movies that should have been on MST3K

    How about TV shows? I can think of a few TV shows that would be great on MST3k. First of all Jag. That show just cries out for sarcastic remarks. Then how about 90210, or the old Batman? Jen

    A presentation on the Muppets

    I've done several papers over my looooong college experience on educational television. You could write an entire paper on Sesame Street and the impact its had on children's television. Jen

    Henson sells Muppets to Disney

    Why do fans always think they have so much say in how business decisions are made? Reality check folks: As far as any company is concerned, you can buy their product or not. If you don't someone else will. I don't doubt that Henson appreciates their fans, but thinking we have any type of...

    New movies coming out...

    I understand the point Gibson is trying to make with this film, but I can't see spending two plus hours of my precious weekend and $10.50 to see a guy beaten. It just doesn't work for me. Of course, I couldn't stomach Schindler's List or The Pianist either. Jennifer

    ALL RIGHT! I have...$3.27, a candy wrapper, and a summons for jury duty. Jen

    Henson sells Muppets to Disney

    Maybe this will give Henson the ability to release Fraggle Rock on DVD. Jen

    Henson sells Muppets to Disney

    Kim, I have to agree with you on feeling sad for the loss, but cautiously optimistic and hopeful for the future. I also want to say something about the folks on this forum. I've been on several fan forums over the years for various television shows. I have to say that the MC folks are the...

    Henson sells Muppets to Disney

    A fantastic gesture from Disney would be to re-release The Muppet Movie in theaters. Isn't 2004 the 35th anniversary? They could re-release it and put all of their marketing power behind it. Has anyone noticed it is impossible NOT to know when Disney has a movie out? Even if you didn't watch...

    Henson sells Muppets to Disney

    I've actually read all the posts on this thread, and I wonder if anyone over at Henson has also. If so, they are probably either laughing at some of the panic or they are a little irked that just about everyone here has such a negative response. Hopefully they understand that people are...

    Mel Gibson interview with Diane Sawyer

    I know everyone is talking about the Disney news, so I'll be surprised if anyone finds this, but... Did anyone see the interview with Diane Sawyer and Mel Gibson last night? Did he seem like he was on something, or what? Jen

    Henson sells Muppets to Disney

    First Barbie and Ken break up and now this.... Jedix, I agree with you completely. I too, despise Disney. I just hope by some stretch of the imagination that this was a good decision. I can understand why they look good to Henson. The market is now controlled by the giants and if they...

    Sad, sad, very sad "Angel" news

    AICN is reporting that WB has opted to make this the last season of Angel. I'm still upset over Cordelia dying and now this. Bummed. :( :cry: Jennifer

    Is anyone interested in a great books thread?

    Wow. That's interesting. I really had no idea people were just sitting around waiting for the world to end. I was raised Catholic, and we never heard such dreary stories. But, I guess if you truly believe you're moving to a better existence, the end of the world's no biggie. Personally, I like...
