I wasn't able to get online at all while I was out of town, but Happy Holidays to all! I hope you all are having a wonderful season! :)

We saw Peter Pan the other day, and to be honest we weren't crazy about it. I thought it was pretty good, but there was something about the pace and a couple of the performances that felt a little "off" to me. Still, it's worth seeing. I think I've just been spoiled by the glory of Return of...

I think Natalie Portman would be great in this movie, and I really like the idea of dual-casting Miss Piggy as Glinda and the Wicked Witch. She does have both of those aspects to her personality!

Pepe is displeased, okay? :rolleyes:

Wow, thanks for the detailed list! :)

Let's not forget, also, that his last name is an anagram of "mafia." Perhaps Johnny knows people who know people...

Oh, the first two each got me at one point or another. That beautiful sequence in Two Towers when Elrond describes Arwen's future if she chooses Aragorn... :cry: And when Sam gave his really moving speech? :cry: And in Fellowship, when Sam ran into the water after Frodo? :cry: I'm...

Here we go with another list of changes on the Sesame Street Christmas album. I was lucky enough to catch "Keep Christmas With You" on MC radio a moment ago, and it sounds like the differences between the original version and the rerelease are minimal. Hoots sings the line "When Christmas is...

This just in--Saddam Hussein was captured again last night. This time, on South Park. Did anybody else see this? Crazy how fast they can put an episode out.

That's strange. I hadn't actually heard about this single, but it's curious that they've postponed it. Maybe they didn't want Clay to steal Ruben's thunder with a new release, since Ruben's album just came out last week...

What cool news! I wish I could go, but I'll be in Oklahoma and then Louisiana around Christmas. I won't be back in Philadelphia until New Years. I'd love to hear about the screening from people who go, though!

Okay, so I heard "True Blue Miracle" on MC Radio yesterday, and I noted all the changes. I wasn't sure if the version I heard was from the original album or from the TV special "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" (or even if those versions are different), but basically the changes are that Hoots...

That's ten! Ten wonderful minutes! Ah ah ah ah!

I've heard that there's some reference in the new film to him being powerless now, but that's about it. Also, I hope it's not true that Christopher Lee is hardly in Episode 3 of Star Wars. I really liked the Count Dooku character in Episode 2.

That's what grad students like me are for! Actually, I grade for my own classes now, but there was a time when I was grading half of the work for a professor's class.

Well, I have two classes, but each only has 10 students, and I finished grading their work this evening. Now I can catch up on other things, I hope.

Actually, I'm sad to say, I haven't had the time to go through any of the special features yet. We barely had time for the whole movie--the end of the semester is always such a time-sapper. But I'll look forward to that when I get to look deeper into the hidden treasures of the Two Towers DVD...

Only if you can find your way back out again. Trust me on this... I was trapped inside "Sloop John B" for three years--that was the worst trip I've ever been on! :D

This reminds me of a story I heard a long time ago that the Beatles were interested in making a film (possibly animated?) out of the LOTR series. I think John wanted to play Gollum...

Isn't Tuesday international Love Day? ;)
