I think Apple should do a promo aTV unit that comes packaged on tights and a Jerith wig.

Young, old, naked, wrapped in burlap, shaved, covered in plum sauce . . .

I prefer covered in honey.

The creature searching for the crystal shard in The Dark Crystal looks like Michael Jackson.

"I prefer covered in honey."

I've alerted her security service. Thanks.

Unless the release the original "Han Shot First" version of Star Wars on iTunes, Apple TV is waste of everyone's money.

Just my $0.02

I'm waiting for The Honeymooners (classic 39 episodes, please)

Jennifer C. What other reason do you need?

Mar 06, 08 - 12:54 pm Comment from: Meh

Dude, Jennifer is my sister, and she isn't all that hot naked. I should know. I see her that way every time I take a shower with her.

Mar 06, 08 - 12:55 pm Comment from: @Meh

fap, fap, fap!

". . . and she isn't all that hot naked."

You either play for the other team or you have dark glasses and a trained German shepherd.

"Covered in honey." Wait. Isn't honey her assistant's name? Daaaaammmn.

Now if they'll only put the entire Muppet Show on iTunes, I will so be there.

Mar 06, 08 - 01:37 pm Comment from: Timbo

@Ray

Right on.

Dark Crystal took me a while to get used to. Moved too slow for me when I first saw it. Now I like it. Still a little strange and slow moving. Definitely only good in its widescreen version. The P&S;version really loses its look.

Mar 06, 08 - 01:58 pm Comment from: justified

Love that Escher-set scene.

Mar 06, 08 - 02:22 pm Comment from: @justified

Fap, fap, fap

Mar 06, 08 - 02:34 pm Comment from: way too old

Hey what about Muppet Babies?

Mar 06, 08 - 03:44 pm Comment from: ElderNorm

OUCH Farscape. Cannot wait.

Mar 06, 08 - 09:07 pm Comment from: Grue

Jennifer Connelly is hotter than doughnut grease and is truly worth the price of admission.

BTW did I mention I am in love with Jennifer Connelly?

P.S.

Don't forget the incredible, and rarely seen, fairy tale series Henson did- The Storyteller. It is out on DVD, as are Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.
