So, informal poll for those here who have ad-blocker software loaded: Approximately what percentage of the time does the AVClub site freeze up or crash out for you? For me, it's at approximately 75% of the time on my work computer.

So, I'm just now re-watching the later s2 episodes in the run-up to s3; I haven't watched some of these since I watched them on my VHS tapes. And I JUST realized that the Paulie Shore-looking drifter that Wyndham Earl seduces with beer, then murders and chess-piece-ifies is played by goddamn TED RAIMI!!!

SPOILER ALERT! One of the commercials is for Fruit Stripe gum!

(Sorry, I think I may actually have the script for the movie memorized… Also some of the commercials, as we had recorded it on VHS from TV.)

That's when the Skekses appeared! AND the Mystics!

My favorite Dark Crystal-related anecdote is from my college friend Tina, who was the youngest of ten siblings growing up. Her parents loved TDC because when they'd put it on, it'd put the younger kids right to sleep.

It's kinda like… good*. There are certainly caveats. It was more or less built for people that were already fans of Dave McKean's art.

Pretty much! But fair warning, if anybody involved in the production was ever like, "Hey, Ian Holm? Can you maybe back off on the creepy pedo vibe?" his reaction was apparently, "No, I think I'm gonna lean in on this one…"

It was like, the red-headed step-child Henson house film. It's actually kinda interesting, but also somehow sullen, depressing.

Dreamchild or GTFO!

Hey, why no prequel series for Dreamchild?!?

Hey, buddy. It's alright to be wrong!

For now, anyway.

A short story:

There are already six in there!

Jones really just hates yogurt because it doesn't have that same "erases memories of personal details about my children" effect that he gets from pounding multiple bowls of chili for brunch.

Hamdi Ulukaya is 1,000 times the American that Alex Jones is. I really wish I didn't hate yogurt, because I'd like to support his company more.

To paraphrase Alice Childress, "A patriot ain't nothin' but a surface-to-air anti-ballistic missile."

Kellyanne, in particular, looks like a Marc Hempel drawing of The Furies from the "The Kindly Ones" arc of The Sandman.

Oh, shit… things are gonna be really weird between her and Kellyanne at the Evil Beaming Skeletons Club meeting this weekend.
