Buster Keaton was forbidden by contract from smiling in his films.

Oops, sorry! I've honestly always thought All Dogs Go to Heaven was Disney. I am educated now, thank you.I'm afraid I missed the Buzz Lightyear movie, though I think I've heard of it somewhere.

Don't everybody kill me here, but for some reason I've never really liked The Lion King all that much. Sure, it's a good movie by Disney standards, and I can see why people could like it, but It's never done much for me. My all time favorite, however, would have to be either Bambi or The Aristocats.I've got a big crate full of old Disney VHS tapes in my closet, and it's funny to look back at a some of the ones that never really made it big, like All Dogs Go to Heaven (there was a sequel too,) Oliver and Company, and even The Lady and The Tramp 2. Anybody remember these?

Wow, the Alpha Team website is still up? Some great finds here, but I'd love a link to that old Orient Expedition game if it still exists somewhere...

Voted number one on the first, three on the second.Although the new fourm skin is starting to grow on me, the old light blue color always seemed to look good; the new darkish bluejust doesn't really do much for me. So I guess adding a similar skin would be nice.

Oh yes, Arthur C. Clark is simply brilliant. He went toe to toe with Jules Verne with the detail and level of storytelling in that series. Although Frank Poole getting revived in 3001 was a bit of a stretch, Clark more then made up for it.The last book I've read was From Time to Time, by Jack Finney.

1. It depends on when, where, and for what reason (as stated in the above posts) he was killed. If he was assasinated, say, toward the end of his life, he would probably still have made history books. Not quite sure I understand this certain ponderence.2. Always wanted to go to Legoland. Been to Disney several times though.3. Freeze dried pineapples, naturally.4. For the same reason that Sodium Chloride, or salt, doesn't kill us when we eat it despite it's base elements being poisonus individually.

Well, BS01 has a picture of the baterra taken from one of the comics. That may imply that the artist had acess to a prototype of some sort for reference, unless it was just an interpritation.

Yes, the Beatles, without a doubt, had a massive impact on American popular music. What's always struck me as odd however, is why them? When you listen to their earlier albums, like Beatles for Sale, it's plain that they didn't start out as the revolutionaries (pun intended) that we remember them as. Their sound was hardly original at that point either: something like a mix of the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, and maybe a bit of Chuck Berry.What I think first set them apart from other popular musicians in the early 60s, mostly composed of clean cut teen idols like Frankie Avalon, Bobby Vee and Fabien (who was almost completely invented by the Brill Building,) was, I think, the hair; "Arthur" as George Harrison quipped when asked what he called the Beatles hairstyle. That, along with the fact that they started experimenting with new musical styles (as well as other things,) something that Rock and Roll hadn't done in years.Then, armed with a different sound, they started to depart even furthur from the established music scene by changing other things, including wearing silly clothes, growing their hair longer, inserting not so subtle political messages in their songs and giving a Rolls a tacky psycadelic paint job. The problem was, every other music group saw all this, and started to imitate them, until so many groups had hopped on the new band wagon that the Beatles decided that they had to become even weirder to differentiate themselves from all the groups that copied them. This pattern was pretty much repeated until 69', when they broke up. But the chain reaction that they had started countinued, helping to breed Disco, punk, and today, Lady Gaga.Most likely, the ideas that they indroduced will reverberate for decades to come, until musicans cease to be seen as human beings.
