Some facts about Jim Henson you may not know

January 31, 2014 by HC 10 Comments

I’m going to attempt this review without making any sweeping assumptions about how anyone could possibly dislike Jim Henson, or the muppets, and what that would say about a person’s soul or LACK THEROF. (Point of interest: my boyfriend is indifferent toward Jim Henson and can’t stand the muppets. Other than that he’s great and has all the outward signs of a soul, but I should dump him, right?)

Up in the Air

January 25, 2014 by anotterchaos Leave a Comment

A Cannonball reviewer recently commended an author for keeping himself (herself?) out of their nonfiction story, and letting the work speak for itself. I believe Mark Schreiber could take a note. Dreams of the Solo Trapeze purports to be a backstage tour of Cirque de Soleil.

Normally, I’m not into guys like Jamie Hyneman, but I’m sure falling for him in this cover photo.  Here’s my review.
