Today serves as a reminder that it seems like it's always the period of time of the tail-end of an old year and the very beginning of the new year is when there's a number of significant celebrity deaths, because just today, we lost one of the biggest rock stars of the 70s, and a sad-clown...

There's no information regarding what may have happened yet other than he apparently was found dead in his hotel room today.

And, of course, Jim Henson is among them: https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephenlaconte/celebrities-with-no-haters-reddit Unfortunately, as documentaries on Mister Rogers have pointed out, he did have his share of haters . . . mostly far-right cable news personalities who basically accused him of...

Yeah, that's a thing now apparently. :rolleyes:

I ask because I notice it's been causing a lot of problems with my browser (Google Chrome) in causing certain scripts to run slower than they need to, or other times because the album art isn't always displayed, sometimes I'll be attempting to click on a new unread thread and the song will...

As suggested by @cjd874 I'll just start off by saying if there's ever been an underrated movie that definitely needs more love, it's the 1980 dramedy FATSO, starring Dom DeLuise in the only movie that Anne Bancroft ever wrote and direct (so, not surprisingly, you can kind of sense Mel Brooks's...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-12/disney-s-ceo-jettisons-once-sacred-businesses-during-pandemic The article actually states he's looking into all the areas he can to cut corners to save Disney some money. You know what would be a better, more effective way for Disney to save...

Yep, the world-famous spokesperson for Liberty Medical, the "Diabeetus" guy has passed away at the ripe age of 85. No word yet on the cause of death, so it's unknown whether it's related to diabetes or not, but I have to admit, he was always one of my favorite memes . . . as a matter of fact...

There's a YouTube channel called Tacrumacky Studios that does little cut-out animation videos - I found it afew years ago because there's a number of short little M*A*S*H animations, but the other day, I happened to stumble onto this bizarre little video of theirs in which a squeaky-voiced...

What happened to that puppet they had been using recently? Because this one looks more like a fan replica with the crooked mouth, the misplaced eyes, and that, "YAAAAY!" at the end was terrible.

Canada just lost another one of its comedic greats; he died in his sleep last night at the age of 86. This is so sad.

Otherwise known as Eb from GREEN ACRES (also Cousin Jake in the Disney movie GORDY, which was coincidently written by GREEN ACRES creators Jay Sommers & Dick Chevilait). This is especially sad, because he was the last remaining castmember of GREEN ACRES. Here's a touching little video he did a...

Holy crap, I can't believe Kelsey Ballerini is going to be on SS . . . she's practically from my home town!

This is so exciting, and long-overdue!! https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Sid-Marty-Krofft-Receive-a-Star-on-the-Hollywood-Walk-of-Fame-20200206 With Jim Henson, Shari Lewis, and now the Krofft brothers, each of my biggest puppetry heroes and influencers have been honored with Stars...

There's a lot of buzz going around on the internet regarding Billy Porter going to be on SS, and it's stirred up a lot of controversy, particular from, surprise-surprise, a prominent right-wing Evangelical Christian demanding that funding for the show be stopped over his appearance. But from...
