    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Er, no. L. Frank Baum wrote fourteen Oz books which were published between 1900 and 1914, and other authors including Ruth Plumly Thompson continued the series, making a total of 40 canon books. In all of these Oz is a real place on Earth, hidden by magic to keep it separate from the rest of...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Mr. Jones, Thanks for your answers to me and others. I know what it's like to have to cut out stuff you like to improve a book. After I finished what I thought was a really good draft my editor told me to chop off the first chapter; it just delayed the beginning of the real story. That...

    Remembering Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014)

    Now we know that he had been diagnosed with the early stages of Parkinson's Disease, a degenerative neurological disease that Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox also suffer(ed) from. The symptoms include depression and suicidal thoughts. This makes his death a little easier to understand, I...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Wow, it's great to hear--er, read--that Oz's voice was so well preserved in the book. Kudos to the editors for not bowdlerizing his freakin' distinctive turns of phrase. My question would be, were there any issues that you would have liked to research or write about more and, for any reason...

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

    At the moment the Unnecessarily Extended Cut is the #1 best seller in kids & family blu-ray discs on Amazon. It's #6 in the corresponding DVD category. Hmm...lot of Robin Williams flicks on those lists.

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

    It seems that it's pretty thin on the extras. Last time we had all kinds of nifty stuff in the extras menu, plus Easter eggs and the thing that let the Muppets take over when you paused. This time we got Rizzo's fan, the S&W cut, a so-called "blooper" reel, a song video, and...was there...

    Kermit on Express Written Consent ( & Gonzo too)

    *chuckle* It's good to see Muppets getting about like this. Good stuff.

    Remembering Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014)

    I can't believe this. OK, I can, but I don't want to. Robin Williams? Gone? Aw, crud. Robin is one of the two funniest comedians I have ever seen. (The other being John Cleese.) He wasn't limited to making us laugh, though. He...aw, crud. I'll miss him. And I'll remember him as the...

    There was a mention in the Amazon vs. Disney thing in the TV news this morning. They listed several movies that were not on presale, including Maleficent and Muppets Most Wanted.

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    Dear Amazon, See these dollars in my hand? They will go toward the purchase of Muppets Most Wanted. If you don't want my money, no big deal. There's a Target right down the street that'll cheerfully sell MMW to me.

    Slackbot draws stuff

    Wow. It's been a long time since I've drawn anything. A long time. More on that later, when I feel ready to talk about it. *sigh* Anyway! Recently an artist on DeviantArt I like, ggolddduck, opened up to commissions. I likes her art, and her rates are reasonable, so I asked her if she'd...

    Dear Amazon, why won't you let me preorder this? Do you want these dollars in my hand to go to Target instead of you?

    The one thing on the internet I can no longer stand...

    For a while someone was posting titles and airdates of fake Fraggle Rock TAS episodes on Wikipedia. No synopses. Some of the ep titles were plausible, and some were pretty funny.

    Traveling Matt's Ride on A Rollercoaster

    That's Dave Goelz next to Matt. The arm stretched across the back of the car is fake; his real arm is in the puppet.
