Discovery Is Home

Yeah!

It's the Muppet Show Season One on DVD! YAYYY!

Released today. (The official site is all Flash, without a direct link.) Fair warning: The set is not as complete as it might be, and one of the biggies is not there: From Muppet Central, we learn that several musical numbers could not be licensed, including Vincent Price singing "You've Got A Friend".

Return to Arkham

Lovecraft Country, home of a text-based online Cthulhu RPG, has a free comic for online viewing or download.

Even More Kong DVD

Ain't It Cool has the specs for the special edition DVD of the original King Kong. Us Kong freaks NEED to have this, do you understand? It's got commentary by the writers, the directors, Ray Harryhausen, Ken Ralston, and, somehow, Robert "Carl Denham" Armstrong and Fay Wray....

Holy Crap

So, thespian, commenting in the previous thread, pointed me to the online strip Something Positive.

This one is the set-up.

This is the payoff.

Wow.

My Vote For Worst "You Gotta Be Kiddin' Me" Puff Piece Of The Week

Slightly different headline on the page itself. On Yahoo's main page, the headline reads: Guantanamo Prisoners Enjoy Potter Books

"We have Harry Potter in four languages, English, French, Farsi and Russian. We have it on order in Arabic. We do not have books 5 and 6 in the series, at this time. We have had several detainees read the series," Lorie said in a written response to questions from Reuters.

"One prisoner has requested the movies," she said.

News of the series' popularity was first reported by The Washington Times on Monday.

Asked what other books were among the prisoners' favorites, Lorie said, "We have 12 different Agatha Christie titles in Arabic that are very popular. Also 1001 Arabian Nights."

Of course they have 1001 Arabian Nights.

Why, it's the nicest spa in the whole Caribbean, ain't that so?

Jeeeezus, I hate these people.
