Set the TARDIS for 1996!

The original website for the movie Space Jam is still up. And evidently untouched in the intervening 14 years.

Frames, tiled background image, it has it all!

Bummer

My paid account has expired. And with everything going on with my health, there's no way to take care of that in the near future. I kept meaning to get a permanent account, but something always came up.

OK, you people are awesome.

My account is now paid up through 201316. You folks rock.

While I'm feeling mushy, I'll share one of the few things that makes me cry every single time I see it:

The Marine funeral for a homeless Korea War Veteran in the episode In Excelsis Deo of The West Wing.

Quick synopsis: Toby Ziegler (Director of White House Communications) is called by the DC police. A homeless man has died, and had Toby's business card in his pocket. Toby recognizes the coat as one he gave to Goodwill, and also sees a tattoo for the 2/7 Marines. He tries to find some family to tell, and eventually locates the Marine's mildly developmentally disabled brother, who is also homeless. Toby uses the name of the President to arrange a burial at Arlington National Cemetery. When called on this, and told that this precedent would bring every homeless veteran in the country out of the woodwork, Toby replies "I hope they do." As Toby is leaving for the funeral, the President's personal secretary, who had earlier told another character how her twin sons had died in action in Vietnam on Christmas Eve, 1970, asks to join him.

The scene is made more poignant because of the complete support given to the production by the Department of Defense and the United States Marine Corps. The funeral drill was performed by Marines from the Washington Marine Barracks; troops who are rivaled in precision drill only by the Army's 3rd US Infantry (The Old Guard)

Watch the clip. It's an example of television at it's absolute best.
