    Sign the " "WE WANT BRUCE CAMPBELL TO BE DUKE NUKEM!" petition

    In other words, we want Ash vs. the Army of Darkness 2: Evil Dead 4: The Doom Encounters? Of course, Duke Nukem (3D) was inspired by/ripped off Bruce Campbell/Ash, but is he really the character to play a buffed-up one-man killing-machine? I mean the cool thing about the Evil Dead movies...

    The Onion - I Appreciate the Muppets on a Much Deeper Level Than You

    As this is the Onion, chances are the "author" of this article is completely made up. He's a character, and since this is print, anyone on the Onion staff can write for this character. So whether it was the same person who wrote all those other articles, it's possible, but not necessarily the...

    This summer going be great for movies, the best since 1989!

    A kids movie about criminals and the mob where the actors are being sent to their death? Which has the lead actor feeling up a girl on-screen? That advertises a talking kangaroo which is nothing more than a brief mid-movie hallucination, and which said Kangaroo is really only featured in the...

    The Simpsons is Renewed for Two More Seasons

    All new characters? Did you see the Poochie episode? That's the true kiss of death for sitcoms and the Simpson folk know that. That's the sign of "We ran out of ideas so we need new characters to retread our used up ideas." That's the ultimate point of jumping the shark. Actually, they...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Janice got the tambourine? SWEET! And the bugle for Gonzo? Even better. Can we assume the microphone with Janice comes with a stand?

    The Onion - I Appreciate the Muppets on a Much Deeper Level Than You

    That guy (though he is most probably a fictional character) is the resident geek editorialist. Here are some other articles by him: Dressing Up Your Dog As Boba Fett Is Something You Have To Devote A Weekend To Maybe I Can Impress Her With My Holy Grail Quotes When You Are Ready To...

    The Pixar schedule til the end of time

    I'm looking forward to "The Incredibles" the most. Brad Bird is practically an animation god. Though there have been a few reports of some troubles with Brad's team not quite meshing with Pixar. Rumor has it that Brad's team comes from a traditional animation background and when they need...

    This summer going be great for movies, the best since 1989!

    I will submit to that glory that was 1989. I have really high hopes for this year. I mean look where we started. "Kangaroo Jack" #1 film last weekend. Can only be a sign of better things to come.

    Rolling Stone article, 2000

    Supergrass are a great band, and the video is quite entertaining. It's sad that they really haven't gotten much recognition in the states. Their most recent album as far as I know isn't even scheduled to be released here.

    Complete 15 DVD Best of the Muppet Show Set

    I'll top that with an offer of $45.01!

    Lord of the Rings The Two Towers

    Oh no! A giant spider! Well, that totally ruins the next movie for me. Now I don't need to read the books either.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Your criticisms about the Peanuts figures are fairly valid. However one thing you apparantly did not notice was that each of the characters come with multiple expressions. Some happy, some sad, some eyes open, some closed. There are also different themes of the same figures like a Halloween...

    Meet the Feebles on DVD?

    "Feebles" doesn't reference the Muppets specifically, but the basis of the film is very much deeply related to the Muppets. It's about a variety show called "Meet The Feebles" where a bunch of Muppet-like characters do song numbers and sketches. There's the Diva, a large high-voiced Hippo...

    The secret to becoming President of Student Concil in HighSchool...

    Just be careful about what you do that is memorable. It's been well over 10 years, and I can remember about half a dozen speeches from various student body elections. Most of the ones I remember are not memorable because they were elected. In fact the reason I remember them were because...

    Lord of the Rings The Two Towers

    Or you could read the books. Oh, but that would spoil the movies, wouldn't it?

    Easter eggs

    If you put the DVDs in upside-down, you can watch all the episodes backward, and you can hear all the backmasking messages that they had in the original Muppet Show episodes. It's pretty cool.

    Miles' First Word....Maybe

    Elmo? That's pretty funny. Our latest's first words other than Mama and Dada was Bye-Bye and Ball. Interestingly enough, those last two are actually pronounced exactly the same by him, but since he incoporates the hand motion with "Bye Bye" we can tell the difference. He pronounces them both...

    Hey, my first taste as a standup comic!

    Congratulations Cory. Coming away from a crowd elated rather than intimidated is an amazing thing, and yes, is quite a rush. As you are a Muppet lover and artist, I have the feeling we've got an up-and-coming prop comic on our way. Good luck. Put Carrot Top to shame!

    What is your not so favorite figure?

    I really don't want to know Gonzo's complex loo details. That's really more information that I'd care to know.
