So what did everyone think of The Muppet Show revival?

[(Anonymous)]

Because I loved it, and hope it does well enough to get a full new season greenlit.

My only criticism is they did maybe one too many Statler and Waldorf segment. That is really splitting hares though... which might be an act on the show. I'm not sure.

Loved "Pigs in Wigs" the Bridgerton spoof that is the spiritual successor to "Piiiiiiigs in Spaaaaaaaaaace!". They just forgot the narrator though. And also they forgot to do Veterinarians Hospital too. I did miss that.

I haven't watched the whole episode, but the duet of "Islands in the Stream" was really nice, IMO.

I didn't even know this was a thing

[(Anonymous)]

How exciting! Definitely going to go and track it down to watch. Thanks for posting about it!

Re: So what did everyone think of The Muppet Show revival?

[(Anonymous)]

(Aside: it's "splitting hairs", though "splitting hares" would easily make for a gag on the show...)

Re: So what did everyone think of The Muppet Show revival?

[(Anonymous)]

I actually thought it was really good. I didn't have much of an opinion on Sabrina Carpenter but I did like her interacting with the Muppets. I watched a couple of episodes of the original show after to refresh my memory and the formula felt the same.

I sort of wish they'd include Walter from the Muppet Movie.

hairs. Splitting hares is when Bugs Bunny gets autopsied.
Doh ho hohohohohohho!

I thought it was fun.

Recommendation thread

[(Anonymous)]

For anyone who is looking for something or just generally wants to rec stuff

Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

I'm seeing a bigger and bigger push back to pirating shows and movies, but how is that even done these days? Are torrents still a thing and if so, how and where? Like, is the pirate bay still a thing? What clients and VPNs do people use these days?

Or are the kids these days using something else entirely?

question for the crocheters

[(Anonymous)]

I know we have at least a couple.

Are the fancy expensive hooks worth it? I'm using the aluminum ergonomic susan bates and they're fine, but I feel like I'm being brainwashed by crochet groups into wanting to buy the tulip or clover or one of the fancy ones because they all talk so highly about it.

Fanvid recs

[(Anonymous)]

If anyone has any fanvids they'd like to recommend/promote, please go for it! I love a good fanvid.

Thank a fandomsecrets anon

[(Anonymous)]

For a recommendation, advice, ...

Thank you to the person who linked the Muppet Show Time in a Bottle a few days ago. I'm in love. I knew that famous riff but not the song (non-American here). It is a beautiful song and the Muppet sketch is indeed the best version.

Re: Thank a fandomsecrets anon

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I know that wasn't me, but I love that sketch and also believe it's the best version of that song. Small world! Let me add my rec for the Muppet sketch with Paul Williams and his "Old Fashioned Love Song":

Re: Thank a fandomsecrets anon

Completely different vibe, but the Muppet Show performance of the Banana Boat Song is excellent for many reasons. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xo9y3s

Very specific tropes you love

[philstar22]

Are there some very specific, detailed tropes you can't get enough of?


For me it is characters who are too smart for their own good, especially villains who weave unnecessarily complex schemes and end up being caught up in their own arrogance. A simpler plan would have worked better, or they get tricked by something ordinary that they just never considered because they were too busy thinking of all the extreme possible ways they could be fought and planning for those.

Re: Very specific tropes you love

[(Anonymous)]

I know they are cliche, but I love neighborhood type of fics where all the main characters live in the same neighborhood and do ordinary things — go food shopping, get coffee, stop in a local bookstore, walk to the park…slice of life type of stuff. They make me happy.

RANTING THREAD

[(Anonymous)]

REEEEEEEEE

STOP! TALKING! TO! ME! WHEN! I'M! TRYING! TO! EAT!

[(Anonymous)]

I'VE TOLD YOU 800 TIMES THIS ANNOYS ME!

IF YOU'RE EATING, I DON'T TALK TO YOU UNTIL YOU'RE FINISHED!

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON DOING THIS??? AND THEN GET ALL BENT OUT OF SHAPE WHEN I'M ANNOYED OVER IT, FUCK OFFFFFF

Re: RANTING THREAD

[(Anonymous)]

My boss is a fucking narcissist. I love everyone else I work with, but she's a real piece of work. Just to show how full of herself she is, she parks in the handicapped spot nearest the door in spite of not having a placard/license plate and not being handicapped. She just thinks it is her right because she is the boss. She also turns everything into being about herself, thinks we're all there to just make her look good, and thinks she's an amazing goddess teaching us mere mortals everything out of the goodness of her heart and can't possibly ever learn anything from us.

Also, she thinks anyone who is flustered around her is being aggressive.

I can't fucking stand her. I'm looking for another job. But right now I just have to suck it up and deal. But She's just such a genuinely terrible person.

Re: RANTING THREAD

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand why nobody at my work has heard of headphones. Everyone plays their obnoxious videos at high volume all the damn time. I've tried telling them to please turn down the volume on their phones because I'm trying to read my book, but nobody really listens and it's driving me nuts. I wish it was cold enough for me to eat in my car so I wouldn't have to deal with it.

Re: RANTING THREAD

[dani_phantasma]

This is gonna sound kinda whiny and entitled but

PLEASE someone GIVE ME A CHANCE AT a JOB.. I Know my mannerisms may be weird or offputting but ... I'm trying my BEST. it's rough job hunting and even when I get a job I fear someone in the job will decide they don't like me and pull some quiet firing bs to shove me out.

Ughh i just hope something happens soon. It's just gnawing at my brain and psyche that I can't get a job and then I spiral into despair .

Don't talk to me when I'm in the bathroom, either

[(Anonymous)]

On a related note to the first comment. I hate it when people talk to me when I'm in the bathroom. Unless there is some kind of emergency, please don't. No matter what I am doing in there, I do NOT want to talk. That's like the one place you should be able to have a private moment and be left alone, but some people want to insist on bothering you.

I'm a decent cook, but I'm usually short on time and energy so all I want to do is make dinner and eat it. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have some help in the kitchen. But if you don't normally cook, then please get out and shut up until dinner is ready. I don't have the patience to wait and watch you clumsily hack an onion into pieces for 10 minutes when I can dice it in less than 60 seconds. If you "help", you'd be slowing the whole process down to a painful, ineffective crawl. Don't make me explain this to you.

If you're truly, sincerely dying to help, practice your knife skills and LEARN HOW TO COOK.
