    Everything is Racist

    There are two people I work with who are racist, though one is more tolerable than the other. My one co-worker, Bruce, admits to being a full-blooded redneck, and understands that his views may be a little skewed. He doesn't go around using racial slurs or avoiding people of different race, and...

    When you need to rant...

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I think they ran out of ideas for the contests so now they just have people doing research. Like I said, I don't think the articles are as funny as they used to be either. They changed writers over the last couple years, I don't think Michael Swaim is a head writer...

    When you need to rant...

    I love Cracked, longtime fan. I don't think it's half as funny as it used to be, but they've had some truly insightful and well-written articles in the past year. There was one by Mara Wilson about being a child star that actually got nationwide recognition, and a recent one about the dangers of...

    When you need to rant...

    Very informative website; not only does it list the number of Black Friday deaths and injuries since 2006, but it gives a short summary of each case. I believe it's important people see stuff like this to realize how far we've fallen and that we need to stop this madness. The way people act on...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I don't know; this is a direct sequel to The Muppets, with all the Muppets playing themselves, as opposed to GMC where they played other characters, so it would feel a little odd to have Sam as the only one playing a separate role. I think either he joined up with the CIA after the last film or...

    Your Thoughts: Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular on ABC

    Sounds like most people either loved it or hated it, with legitimate reasons from both sides. The most prominent criticism seems to be that the Muppets took a backseat and felt shoehorned into the special. I think I'll give it the "Studio DC: Almost Live" treatment and just skip it. Hopefully as...

    When you need to rant...

    It was another crazy Black Friday. News reports say a Walmart worker at a Long Island store was trampled to death by stampeding customers. When the Heck did the day after Thanksgiving become the most dangerous day of the year? This is truly and utterly disgusting.

    New Muppet Ornaments at Target

    I actually intended to go to Target today as I knew they'd have some great Muppets ornaments, but it's Black Friday, which, not joking, is a seriously dangerous day to be at a store like Target. I'll go tomorrow and pray the Black Friday shoppers didn't get all the Muppets ornaments:(.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    While Muppets Most Wanted indeed seems to be retreading familiar ground, I'm still looking forward to it. I don't think I can express in words how stoked I am to see Sam as a MAIN character in a Muppet movie again, like in MTI. He's criminally underused and underrated. I'm curious to see how Sam...

    What Kind of Animal is Beauregard?

    I know I've said it before, and I'll say it again, he looks like a capybara, which is a very large rodent. I don't know if the resemblance it intentional, but that's what he looks like to me.

    Your Thoughts: Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular on ABC

    I haven't watched the special yet, I DVR'd it last night, but I don't know if I'm going to watch it anyway. I'm not a Gaga fan at all, and since this is her special, I don't know if I can watch it, even for the Muppets. If Joseph Gordon Levitt (one of my fav actors) was the headliner, I'd be all...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Yes, I was flipping through the TMNT Micro-series vol 1 collection at Barnes & Nobles and I believe both Bebop and Rocksteady appear in human form in the Raphael one-shot. At the end, they ask when they'll be transformed by the mutagen, to which a shadowy figure (Shredder???) replies "soon."...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Hopefully Pacific Rim can make up for its losses overseas. As with Iron Man 3 and World War Z, PR was made with the Chinese audience in mind; there's a Chinese Jaeger, Crimson Typhoon, not to mention 75% of the film takes place in China, off the coast of Hong Kong. Considering it's inspired by...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Ooof, Pacific isn't doing well at the box office- http://movies.yahoo.com/news/pacific-rim-third-despicable-2-edges-grown-ups-152638490.html. I saw PR twice in two days and thought it was fantastic, so it's a shame to see it do poorly. Still, many of my all-time favorite films, including...

    Toby Froud Producing Film with Heather Henson's Ibex Puppetry

    Yeah, I got an update saying Toby will add another puppet to the film if he reaches 35,000. Considering he reached his goal within 5 days, with 22 days to go, I think he may be able to hit 50,000 by the deadline.
