Will you feature in the remake? Then yes.

Muppet Treasure Island has been in my top five movies of all time for as long as I can remember. In addition to Tim Curry, it has one of my favorite exchanges in all of cinematic history:
“It just feels weird.”
“What? That Captain Smollet is dead?”
“Yeah, that… and my pants are filled with starfish.”
“…you and your hobbies!”

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why doesn't Android save app memory into storage instead of killing the process in RAM?
2·4 days agoThat’s true. But it’s also not trivial to implement an app that may have its “RAM” located on disk. It’s a complex problem with multiple solutions, and giving apps the freedom to do what they want with it is the way Android structured things.
Yeson the first question andNoon the second question both lead to the end nodeDon't bother

8·4 days agoContact the developer of Voyager and request a feature to automatically save drafts. This is handled at the app level in Android, and it’s 100% possible for the app to handle this transparently.

14·4 days agoThis is it, and it’s arguably a much better model. Apps are able to manage their own persistent storage, and you can always be sure that your RAM is actually RAM (and not deal with the speed and timing issues that result in you “RAM” actually being flash memory).
Nah, Gollum is played by Animal.
Yep, they’re all Jim Henson. And they show up on each other’s stuff–Kermit was occasionally a newscaster on Sesame Street, and Big Bird was in the original Muppet Movie from the 70s.
They’re all one thing. Kermit used to show up on Sesame Street as a newscaster. And Big Bird shows up in the Muppet Movie from the 70s. Jim Henson and Frank Oz did both.
Personally, I think they’re good. Obviously it’s subjective, but I think there’s a good reason that they’ve withstood the test of time.
The brand of humor is timeless. The absurdity of a world where a pig and a frog can take on human roles without comment is just as funny now as it was 40 years ago. The overall style of humor is somewhat dry but still accessible.
It’s not for everyone, but it’s for a lot of people.
The inspiration for the chart was actually another thread about exactly this. Here’s the roster I suggested:
- Aragorn: Kermit
- Arwen: Ms Piggy
- Legolas: Janice
- Gimli: Rowlf
- Boromir: Sean Bean (human)
- Gandalf: Dr Teeth
- Frodo: Elijah Wood (human)
- Sam: Fozzy
- Merry: Rizzo
- Pippin: Gonzo
- Saruman: Sam Eagle
- Ringwraiths: Statler and Waldorf
- Bombadil: Swedish Chef
Another commenter noted that Janice would be too good as Galadriel to cast her as Legolas. Which is a very valid point.
I went to a festival alone once. It was one of the most enjoyable times I’ve had, and weirdly freeing for someone who is otherwise a chronic people-pleaser.
Don’t need to guess. It took me many years to realize elevator shafts could hold more than one elevator car.
Homestar Runner references will still surface when millenials are in retirement homes, the workers will assume we’ve lost our minds.
j/k, millenials won’t get to retire
CNN is outshittifying the shitpost community? Damn, we gotta step up our game.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Why do children preface with "Guess *what*?!" so much?
5·10 days agoIt creates both a sense of expectation and suspense. As adults, we have a lot more (and more subtle) ways of doing the same thing, but kids are still figuring out the nuances of these things.














Putting things in pants that aren’t ordinarily in pants, especially while wearing said pants, it a time-honored trope.
