    The Chipmunks

    I know, listening to interviews with him, and such, it's almost like listening to Dave being interviewed, lol. Well, I've noticed that on the cartoon, Dave seems to almost always go for blondes... like Miss Stone, Alvin's teacher, or Marcia, the single mom he was GOING to marry, but her kids and...

    Redeeming Villains in Stories - Right or Wrong?

    That's because in writing, character growth and development is your friend, not something to be feared, like a lot of writers do.

    What do you know about dreams?

    I wish he could pop up to nag me sometime, lol. I'm still having trouble regaining my ambition and motivation, so... yeah, I could use some help in that department from the man whose influenced me the most, lol. That's called "Twilight Sleep", and it is scary as Elmo! That's happened to me at...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    I really liked that one too, but I'm sad I can't seem to find my tape of it, lol. I think that was one of the first ones that I saw. Actually, I believe it was supposed to be like a (clean) prototype of FG before FG was created.

    Sesame Street Character Voice Comparisons

    I can't really give a valid opinion on Johnny T's Ernie, but I have to give him kudos though... he was only sixteen, performing alongside seasoned professionals, AND playing a character originated by Jim himself. That had to been tough and hair-raising, nonetheless, so just the fact that he was...

    Sounds like a helicopter parent, lol.

    Redeeming Villains in Stories - Right or Wrong?

    Not necessarily. I'm mean, sometimes the two can be interconnected, but it's not always the case. I think the Twilight saga does that more than SST... I mean, when I was a kid growing up, I never even thought of Count being a vampire... he was THE Count, and therefore, I thought of him as a...

    What do you know about dreams?

    I used to think we had a thread about this subject... I'm NOT talking about the "I Had the Strangest Dream Last Night and You Were in It Thread", where we discuss specific dreams we have where some of our MC buddies are in it. I'm talking about the subject of dreams, sleeping habits, etc...

    Redeeming Villains in Stories - Right or Wrong?

    Part of it too is that the girl is pretty much blinded by love: they meet the guy, is so in love with him, she'll willingly dance while he pulls the strings. It's also kind of a "first come/first serve" thing: he's the first guy she's found that's her type, so she figures she better nab him...

    What was the last DVD you bought and why?

    Redeeming Villains in Stories - Right or Wrong?

    All i can say is this... The only decent example I can give on this subject is from an RPG I was a part of for about a year... About halfway through the story it spanned well over a hundred thread pages, and lord knows how actual posts, we introduced a trio of three menions who worked for...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    Yeah... you KNOW a CN show is big when after it's standard 52 episodes and 4 seasons are over, they then get renewed, and they did for one more season, just one "Season Six" episode, and a movie. Plus, the Eds are the only ones I know of that had holiday specials that WEREN'T regular episodes of...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    On that subject, Cow and Chicken were derived from David Feiss being tired of having to tell his daughter a bedtime story every night, and suddenly thought of the story of a cow and a chicken named Cow and Chicken. The Eds came into fruition when Danny Antonucci did a doodle of three...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    I think many will argue that any time before the major overhaul of 2004 was the golden olden times of CN, lol. I recently read that the concept of What A Cartoon! was supposed to be sort of like a mini film festival for animators, and aspiring animators, held by Hanna-Barbera; matter of fact...

    I'm glad they have the hurricane episodes on their site... because my tape is about eaten up, lol.

    What are your thoughts on Facebook?

    One thing that's really outraged me is that here a few months ago, like Julio pointed out, MySpace COMPLETELY changed, going from MySpace to "My[__]", or whatever it's supposed to be called... and it's JUST like Facebook in that it's slow, hard to navigate, not user-friendly, etc. Everyone...

    The Chipmunks

    Funny you should say that Drtooth; Ross said in an interview once that he and Janice auditioned several people to voice Dave and The Chipmunks when the franchise was being ressurrected in the late 70s, until finally, Janice told him to do it, since he sounded very much like his father. He had...

    The Chipmunks

    Keep in mind though that the Minimunks movie was made quite a few years before these movies... Ross isn't quite looking so youthful these days either; matter of fact, in the most recent pictures I've seen of him, he's completely gray now... BUT, you know, that doesn't mean that he couldn't have...

    Your Thoughts: Henson's Place DVD

    Here's something about the documentary I forgot to mention that sort of confuses me... In this documentary, Don Sahlin's name is pronounced as "Sa-leen" (Caroll pronounced it the same way in the SST Biography), yet other times, it's pronounced as it's spelled "Sah-lin", like Jim said in...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    A thread for the discussion of those seven-minute shorts that dominated Cartoon Network's airwaves during the mid and late 90s known as "What A Cartoon!"s (original World Premiere Toons). People from my generation SHOULD remember a vast majority of these, some of them spawned successful...
