Seeing this movie again for the first time in years tonight.
Post-viewing UPDATE: Even better than I remembered! I never realized when I was a kid how many cameos there are in The Muppet Movie.
One part made me re-think everything I know about all things Muppet.
The above image is from the scene [...]
CNN reports that Japanese scientists have invented a microscopic bowl of ramen noodle soup.
Well done Professor Masayuki Nakao! This will really kick start the cure for AIDS!
What’s that you say? It won’t help in the fight against AIDS?
Oh. Well surely cancer! How about cancer?

I remember watching re-runs of the show when I was a wee-lad. While the rest of the cast looked intrinsically attached to the 1960s, [...]
So, how ’bout that Iron Man movie? Pretty cool, huh? You bet it was!
It’s, like, totally over 90% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. It MUST be awesome.
It is so totally the best superhero movie ever in the history of ever since ever first started.
Way.
Yeah, it was tons of fun. You know what’s not fun? Liver failure.
Sorry, [...]
In case you hadn’t heard, the California Supreme Court last week overturned a ban on gay marriages, essentially making it legal for same-sex marriages in the state of California. The decision will become effective on June 16th, at which point the entire state will burst into Hellfire and be consumed by righteous fury for its [...]
Not five minutes after Aaron Lyons and his lovely lady (and fantastic singer) Kelly Fletcher left our apartment following a scrumptious brunch, we were told there was an incident with the plumbing downstairs and we couldn’t use any water for a couple of hours. Naturally, I suspected Aaron and Kelly probably busted a pipe on [...]
