  1. Buster Keaton was forbidden by contract from smiling in his films.
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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...
  5. which he took literally and flew 3500 feet up in Matau's green F-16...
  6. Sham-Wow. Quite possibly the most obnoxious commercial of the 21st century.
  7. A trendy new Korean resturant in Po-Metru, to...
  8. 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.
  9. was under the influence of a vahki mind control device, which could only be deactivated by magical llama powers. When...
  10. 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.
  11. a tap dancing Santa Claus, resulting in the bohrok...
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Oh yeah, the watch scene. Jack Benny has his own style of humor, but the way you interpreted that part was actually much funnier in a different way. It's a good thing you didn't try to buy any wallets for anyone...
  16. Granted. You go back in time to meet him, but he mistakes you for another author trying to steal his work and has you arrested.I wish my biology homework would do itself.
  17. On the subject of bad horror films, there is, of course...The Mangler.It's about an industrial laundry presser...That eats people.What could possibly go wrong with such an inspired idea like that?
  18. "I'm not like the other Moms, I'm a cool Mom." -Mean GirlsAlthough It's against my better judgement, undoubtably a very funny movie."I'm afraid, Dave" -2001, a Space Oddessy"Heeeeyyy! Merry Christmas Mr. Potter!!" "Yes, and a Happy New Year to you, IN JAIL!"- It's a Wonderful Life"Asps. Very Dangerous. You go first." -Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
  19. I have yet to discover the fate of the disks that supposedly came with the 4 McDonalds Tohunga I got in 2001 (in addition to Onepu's other foot.) Strangely, I don't even recall ever having any disks paired with the Tohunga, and it was only a number of years later when I bought a few others on ebay that I even realized they came with disks. I logicly suspect that a time traveler stole them and brainwashed me.
  20. I don't collect them myself, but my Dad has a sizable collection of LPs, mostly 78s I think, and he still plays them just about every morning, and at night on occasion.
  21. Top Cat is my all time favorite character, as he will always be. Not only did the show have the most affable cast of characters imaginable, but it was probably the wittiest and most charming series Hanna-Barbera ever did, and somehow it only ran for one season.The Pink Panther is also one of my all time favorites, followed by Tom and Jerry, Popeye, and Rocky and Bullwinkle
  22. Although I don't own this book in praticular, those "Official Bionicle Guides" all seem to be a bit screwy as far as connecting the pictures to the correct information. There are a number of mistakes like this in the Bionicle Encyclopedia, none of them of vital importance but still irritating.Maybe the error was fixed in a later release or something?
  23. The best I've seen recently was probably Avatar, as the CGI It was complicated to an insane level (but the plot...not so much.)The worst is the parting of the red sea in the Charlton Heston version of The Ten Commandments.
  24. Donald Trump comes and fires you with the kanohi Donalda, mask of Ego, causing your mask magnet, along with your financial standing, to be convinently liquidated and sold to an unnamed company in Brazil that sells rubber to airplane tire manufacturers. The mask is all mine! Muhahahahahahaha!
  25. Best: "When wisdom and Valor fail, all that is left is faith, and it can overcome all"- TahuWorst: "Now are we going to play in the mud or are we going to rescue matoran?"- VakamaOr, from the same page of that comic: "Yuck! When I get my hands on Matau..."- Onewa"Of Course!"- Mata Nui
