  • “The Happytime Murders” by Helen Lutz
    “The Happytime Murders” By Helen Lutz As we go along the journey of life, we find many things which just shouldn’t be but happen every day. The anonymous bullying of a school child – shouldn’t be, but is. Guns freely being made on 3-D printers – shouldn’t be, but are. Muppets spouting profanities and having raucous sex – shouldn’t be, but is in the new movie “The Happytime Murders.” Los Angeles – sometime in the future ... People co-exist with puppets, however, puppets are definitely second class citizens. Phil Phillips, a blue skinned, chimney smoking, alcoholic private investigator puppet (Bill Barretta) opens the movie with an old Jack Webb “Dragnet” style narration of another day in the city. Phillips, the only puppet to have once been a police officer, now works various puppet cases after being part of a fatal mishap. Approached by a seductive Sandra puppet hoping that Phil will take her mysterious, nymphomania case, leads Phil to a puppet porn shop (it would be nice to un-see the action between the cow and octopus). A robbery gone wrong while Phil is in the back looking at store files, leads to a deadly scene – stuffing everywhere – enter the police and Phil’s old partner Detective Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy). There’s obviously no love lost between the two. Phil knows the owner of the puppet sex shop from the good old days when he starred with Phil’s brother in a popular 80’s kids’ show “The Happytime Gang.” Life after the show has gone downhill for most of the cast.

It was a New York Times bestseller, and the paper’s Book Review named it one of the Ten Best Books of 2015, while NPR, Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune and other outlets gave the book rave reviews. The book’s author, Lucia Berlin, earned comparisons to Raymond Carver, Grace Paley, Alice Munro, and Anton Chekhov.

And before you know it, we are preparing for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years celebrations. But during the month of November there is another holiday all of us should remember. November 11, Veterans Day. November 11 is the designated day as it commemorates the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 a.m., ending World War I. It was known as Armistice Day until after World War II when it was changed to Veterans Day. Since becoming a national holiday in the 1950’s, com- munities, cities, and the Nations capital have found many ways to honor those who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces. Eagleville School has an assembly pro- gram for faculty and students. Community folks also attend each year. Eagleville Times has a commitment to honoring these heroes as well. Since its fi rst year of publication, the Times has dedicated the November issue to our Veterans. This year we are glad to publish the over 200 photos submitted. Dur- ing November and throughout the year, remember to thank those who serve our country in the armed forces and honor the memory of all those who have served. INSIDE THIS ISSUE PRSRT STD.
