These things are cool!

It’s true, “Everything’s better with Muppets”…

From an artist called “Spray” (whose real name is Jenny McLaren) and a guy called Ricardo Autobahn comes this tribute in music and video to that happy troupe called “The Muppets.”

90 year old WWII vet tells a touching story from the war…

WWII veteran Jack Leroy Tueller tells a story of one night in France after D-Day. He was an Army Air Corps pilot who was spending his first night there, while a German sniper kept shooting at him and the others at the makeshift airstrip. He was a trumpet player who carried his trumpet with him all through the war, and still has it and plays it to this day. He played “Lili Marlene” in order to persuade the sniper to stop firing. Watch these all the way through.

The power of music, indeed.

The “Real” Avatar.. “Last Airbender”

I’ve been waiting for this movie ever since I saw the first trailer! I’ve watched the series (“Avatar, the Last Airbender”), I highly recommend it for kids, and it’s not something that adults will get bored with while they watch with them! The series has just the right mix of humor and seriousness, and the world the creators wrote is both different enough to be intriguing, and familiar enough to be accessible, based on various Asian influences rather than the traditional European stories. If Shyamalan can capture the humor as well as the drama from the series, this will be an excellent trilogy of movies. C’mon, July!
