POPSElaborate puppetry brings "War Horse" to life
Click through for the preview video. If this comes to SF, I'm there, regardless of ticket prices. More: Since opening at the National in 2007 and transferring to the West End this spring, “War Horse” has reduced many London audience members to tears, especially in the final minutes, as they learn the fates of Albert, Joey and Topthorn and whether Albert and Joey will find each other amid the chaos of war. That two puppets elicit this sort of response has inspired the designers to develop a theory they call micromovement. “We work on the assumption that the audience is in fact far more perceptive than they are normally given credit for,” Mr. Jones said. “Meaning, if the puppet is breathing, even people sitting in the very back row can see it. So even the tiniest movement is important, and those onstage need to be aware of it. It’s this focus on the importance of detail in the horse movement that, strangely, has quite epic emotional resonance.”

POPSHis penis belongs to me, says wife In hindsight he probably would have preferred she cut it off and put it in her purse. She made sure she barbecued it. Must have been big to warrant a fire that size.

POPSMcCain shoots from the hip and gets it wrong again This one article alone shows John McCains desperate dependence on advisors. He clearly has no clue what the function of the Federal Reserve is. If he gets elected he will only be a figurehead, a puppet through which his advisers will run the country. Sound familiar? This is the way the country is currently being run. Bush is just a puppet of the true republican powers. Bush and McCain are exactly the same.

POPSThe Wonder Pets For parents of little ones, this show is really well done. The first time I watched it, I thought "wth?" because it's so unusual. The duckling has a lisp, which for some reason seems so endearing. Lots of singing, with original scores by Broadway composers.
