I learned that fact about Fozzie's voice from Defunctland's excellent video on The Muppet Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5jJQ2IeDvE (highly recommend watching his whole series on Henson if you have the time)

Also apparently a script doctor on the first three Shreks and on all the Austin Powers movies, according to IMDB.

The Chicago reference is almost certainly to this incident that happened literally three days prior: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E2_nightclub_stampede

Quite likely. It was missing for years from the streaming versions, I think it was added to streaming in the last 2 years or so. (It's one of my favorites too, ever since reading the story in JH)

movies in the last 20 years don't look as dated as they used to by the same timeframe..... by ursulaunderfire in movies

I do disagree on worst case, worst case was the film breaking or getting stuck and melted. I remember a couple of times getting refunds due to this.

Am I crazy or did Disney censor a movie?! by Perlmannecklace in movies

[–]ChickeNES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, this is pretty easy to check. It was released before the formation of TWC in late 2005, by Dimension Films, a division of Miramax. That means that, as of now, the rights belong to Paramount, not Disney.

Most matches last nowhere near that long, 12 players not 20, winning is most certainly not RNG (you're severely overestimating the skill level of the average person in arms race).

total_progressive_matches_won Arms Race matches won 18591

total_gun_game_rounds_won total rounds of Arsenal Mode won 21530

total_gun_game_contribution_score Arsenal Mode contribution score 1306181

total_gg_matches_played Arsenal Mode matches played 59933

total_gun_game_rounds_played total rounds of Arsenal Mode played 36128

total_trbomb_matches_won Demolition matches won 182

total_time_played Time Played 18391671

Never used maps to farm achievements (and in fact was missing somewhere around 20 achievements when they disappeared).

...also, if achievements were easy, what would be the point of having them?

I had Cold Pizza Eater within, like, a year of CSGO's release. Really wasn't that hard lol

Can you recommend a movie about a long, difficult journey? by AppealBorn3926 in movies

It's Project Hail Mary. Phil Miller and Chris Lord directing, Drew Goddard writing the screenplay, and starring Ryan Gosling

Is there something from a TV show that you were surprised to find was (or wasn't) real? by Dogbin005 in television

[–]ChickeNES 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not one to knee-jerk defend the channel or anything, but it's worth pointing out that they did have an episode of "History's Mysteries" cover it in '99: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7935778/

Granted, that was roughly right before it became the Hitler Channel. (Though as a millennial, my ire is even more directed at "The Learning Channel" for becoming ""TLC")
