This is what I’ve been waiting for — Now I’ll buy the Apple TV!
How about time bandits?
Maybe they’ll even offer The Muppets Take Manhattan?!! Oh Goodie!!!!
They-re finally making the renting feature much more tempting. Such great classics
Jump magic, jump.
young jennifer connelly…mmm…
NOW the aTV has arrived!
I think Apple should do a promo aTV unit that comes packaged on tights and a Jerith wig.
“young jennifer connelly…mmm…”
Young, old, naked, wrapped in burlap, shaved, covered in plum sauce . . .

“Young, old, naked, wrapped in burlap, shaved, covered in plum sauce . . .”
I prefer covered in honey.
The creature searching for the crystal shard in The Dark Crystal looks like Michael Jackson.
“I prefer covered in honey.”
I’ve alerted her security service. Thanks.
Unless the release the original “Han Shot First” version of Star Wars on iTunes, Apple TV is waste of everyone’s money.
Just my $0.02
I’m waiting for The Honeymooners (classic 39 episodes, please)
Jennifer C. What other reason do you need?

Dude, Jennifer is my sister, and she isn’t all that hot naked. I should know. I see her that way every time I take a shower with her.
fap, fap, fap!
“. . . and she isn’t all that hot naked.”
You either play for the other team or you have dark glasses and a trained German shepherd.
“Covered in honey.” Wait. Isn’t honey her assistant’s name? Daaaaammmn.
Now if they’ll only put the entire Muppet Show on iTunes, I will so be there.
@Ray
Right on.
Dark Crystal took me a while to get used to. Moved too slow for me when I first saw it. Now I like it. Still a little strange and slow moving. Definitely only good in its widescreen version. The P&S;version really loses its look.
Love that Escher-set scene.
Fap, fap, fap
Hey what about Muppet Babies?
OUCH Farscape. Cannot wait.
