I love the idea of you trying to explain why the puppets were making you cry! You should try to see BEING ELMO, the documentary about the man behind Elmo and his time working with Jim Henson. It’s even more of a tear-jerker.

Just took my pre-teens to this movie.. not by choice but I loved it. Didn’t notice the difference in voices.. and cried as all my childhood memories came flooding back. My children now think I’m certifiably nuts. No history to their viewing.. hours and hours of Muppet joy for me to recall. If you used to watch it.. it’s a good show.

I am interested in finding a poster with picture of Superman and Krypto “WOW” the 9-11 Trade center one. Is there any place I can purchase this?

Yeah, I purposely didn’t address downloading here, because I knew it’d muddy the issue further. Even without downloading, though, we still have faster and better access to more amazing movies and TV than ever before. (I remember friends being sent VHS, taped-off-TV copies of Buffy from the States, which we’d then pass around like holy objects while waiting for our networks to lift their game…)

Ugh, I think I remember hearing those annoying midway announcements for Smallville when that had it’s original run on Channel Nine! Absolutely annoying!

While downloading may be something that hurts the industry, I’ll admit that, were it not for being able to download particular foreign films, I wouldn’t be able to ever know of its existence! These films would never get distribution anywhere else except in its native country, which is a shame, really. You’d be hard pressed to find a hard-copy of some of these films with a satisyfing enough aspect ratio and English subtitles! And then along comes the Internet and file-sharing among fellow movie-fans (presumably, hehehe) and then you’re in business!

Same goes for television shows too! I mean the quality of shows these days are increasingly becoming more and more cinematic and with television being this good (BREAKING BADDDDD) it’s fun actually being able to join the discussion now and be up to speed.

Gee, thanks Internet!

(The freshness of this conversation is probably a bit too old for my comment to be relevant, but…)
I’ve heard a pretty decent theory about the whole CARS universe thing:
Cybertron, before the civil war.

Now I will be haunted by the fact that the entire cast of Saved By The Bell could never once manage to catch that bus. Take that, Sisyphus!
