The solution is to cut out I-III. We don’t need to know how he became Darth Vader, because anything awesome we imagine is going to be disappointing compared to the reality. In the case of the prequels, it’s VERY disappointing.

There’s certainly a possibility that the new Star Wars will suck. However, I contend that we already know what a JJ Abrams directed Star Wars movie looks like because whatever you want to call those summer tent poles he directed, you cannot call them Star Trek movies. Both of those movies wound up being pretty good,…

Thanks for this awesome article Tyler.

O-O-P-S, OOPS! OOPS! OOPS!

“I would rather be raised by two gay guys than be rotting in an orphanage in Romania,” he expounded, “But we’re not thinking about that girl. We’re thinking about the society, and it is definitely true that children do better with their own parents.”

The best of the Muppets has always been about keeping the joy and wonder of creating cool things with your friends, no matter how unconventional they are in the face of the awfulness and narrow-mindedness of the real world.

This makes me sad. I always thought, in the Muppet Universe, that Miss Piggy was beautiful. That they’re making fun of her being fat &/or ugly? I don’t get it!

This is what I was afraid of and why I couldn’t bring myself watch it after seeing the trailers.

The best of the Muppets has always been about keeping the joy and…
