I dislike how the Grinch has become a buffoon recently, instead of the classic grouch voiced by Boris Karloff.

Recently? Didn’t the last Grinch movie come out about 15 years ago? I wouldn’t know how buffoonish it is, as I haven’t seen it and don’t plan to, but I’ll take your word for it.

There’s been a recent Broadway play and I just saw a video of someone dressed on the street pretending to be the Grinch, and they really go for emulating Jim Carrey’s portrayal.

O okay.

On a similar topic, I discovered this whilst Googling around a bit and… methinks you’re right.

They do Grinchmas at Universal Studios in Hollywood every year now. Some of the Whoville sets from the movie are still standing.

Yay, more shitty bastardizations of Seuss. He must be breakdancing in his grave by now.

Isn’t it a member of his family who signs off on all this stuff? The fleeting glimpses I’ve had of the Cat In The Hat movie are painful. It’s like Austin Powers put on a cat costume.

To her credit, the Austin Powers Cat in the Hat movie convinced her to never allow another live-action adaptation for any of his stories.

When you see a Southern California resident being interviewed on tv about the fires in their neighborhood, they’re wearing a vintage ROTJ shirt, and you wonder if they are an OT forum member.

I’ve never been on local TV, though not for lack of trying.

I was on local TV recently (not in California, ofc) at my high school’s “senior night” football game where I stepped out of the line of seniors on the field to be in view of the news camera positioned just behind us.

Def Leppard:

Bad?

I don’t want to check for myself and find out that they’re bad, I’m hoping someone out there has done so already and can tell me.

I’m sure there’s any number of creative crimes you could commit if you were really trying.

I miss old posters. There are some I’ve read a lot from and never had the opportunity to interact with, and if I did, only briefly. TheBoost, Danfun, GafferTape, Ziggy Stardust, and so on…

I share your pain. I’d like to see Post Praetorian come back. He and I had a few religious discussions back when I was an agnostic; it’d be neat to talk with him again since I became an omnist.
