    Head Forming - Reticulated Foam versa Regular construction

    I think it may have more to do with your cutting, particularly, how the foam is patterned. From my own experiences, I too always come up with flat spots when working on skulls for puppets. In the old days, the heads always come out flat and shapeless like this purple AM from the very early...

    When you need to rant...

    My bad to the other in this discussion, I missed the detail about measles and such.

    Why are they showing summer commercials already? It's not even spring yet!

    Songs You Can't Stand

    In regards to "Call Me Maybe", as I've said before, it's an annoying little pop tune to begin with, but when you actually pay attention to the lyrics (and/or had the misfortune of seeing the video), and realize this is a song about a lonely socially awkward girl who experiences...

    When you need to rant...

    Let me just say this about that... Last year, my mom's best friend's elderly mother got her annual flu vaccine, and guess what? She had a severe reaction to it that landed her in I.C.U. for an extended period of time. Ever since then, her mother has never been in the same health, and has been...

    "Gangnam Style", "Party in U.S.A.", "We are Never Getting Back Together", "What Makes You Beautiful", "Call Me Maybe" to name a few.

    When Things Were Rotten

    Hey, Drtooth, you're gonna love this! Check out who it is at 6:06, everybody's favorite dress-wearing Corporal from M*A*S*H! (And this is pretty much how he ended up getting the part of Klinger too).

    Songs You Can't Stand

    So Mojo came out with their list of the top 10 most hated songs of all time, and they included "Cotton Eyed Joe" by Rednex (later remixed by Jock Jams) on the list. I completely disagree. When I was a kid, we all loved that song, we couldn't get enough of it... in fact, it got to a point that...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    And, if you ask me, the Kroffts were really in a Dork Age when they did variety shows... DONNIE & MARIE? THE BRADY BUNCH HOUR? PINK LADY & JEFF? BARBARA MANDRELL & THE MANDRELL SISTERS? With the exception of the first (debatable), those shows tanked.

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    That show was a disaster to begin with... apparently, Silverman saw Pink Lady perform on the tail-end of a newsprogram, and decided right then and there to give them their own show, and turned to the Kroffts to produce it. Seriously, that's how it happened. They were bigger in Japan than the...

    Super Bowl XLIX: New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks

    As an almost ten-year M*A*S*Her, Super Bowl is always a sad time, because the last five Super Bowls have dethroned the show's finale as the most-watched program in television history.

    When Things Were Rotten

    I haven't seen a whole lot of F-TROOP, but it's a Civil War/Western sitcom, starring Forrest Tucker, Larry Storch, and Ken Berry. It too was a short-runner, only two seasons, because the second season switched to color, but Warner Bros. (who produced the show) didn't want to continue paying the...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Not necessarily. Again, network execs had trust enough to let Sid & Marty Krofft do their thing back in the day (PINK LADY & JEFF, one of the worst shows in history, was a big exception - Sid had an idea of what he wanted the show to be, but the network told them to make it a clone of DONNY &...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I watched an interview with Kevin Spacey recently, and it's not as if networks passed it up, it's that they wouldn't let him do the show he wanted to... except Netflix. Apparently, all these network execs wanted him to do a separate pilot to test the series, but he said they already had a story...

    When Things Were Rotten

    Two factors at play: critics and viewers. In this case, critics may have enjoyed it, but that doesn't mean that the viewing public took notice, and that seems to be the case here - critics responded favorably to the show, but it went all but unnoticed by viewers, who were apparently busy...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Technically, we're from the same generation. But that brings to mind another observation... Many previous generations have labels and names to identify themselves, for example, the generation born during WW2 is known as Baby Boomers... then after that generation, it's like they ran out of...

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    I swear, at times, I feel like I kill this thread. I don't know where this is, but honestly, I have never seen a nicer looking DMV! Seriously, the DMV in my town looks like the inside of a bunker!

    Favorite Seinfeld moments?

    Ever wondered what the original theme song sounded like in the pilot episode when it first aired? Note: It's in PAL, so it's sped up a little.
