The New Weekly Survey Thread

[Pig'sSaysAdios]

1. Are you excited about Julia officially being a Muppet? Yes, extremely excited!
2. What do you think of Season 47 so far? I've enjoyed it. It's a big improvement over last season.
3. Are you looking forward to the Muppet Babies reboot? Definitely. I'm just excited for the Muppets to be on TV again, and that kids will get introduced to the characters. Slightly unrelated but, with DuckTales coming back, can they please bring back Darkwing Duck?!?
4. What other contemporary celebrities would you like to see alongside the Muppets? Hm, definitely Tom Hanks, because Tom Hanks is perfect. Maybe Emma Stone or Bill Murray too.
5. What's your favorite change to the SST set? I really love what they did with the arbor for season 46.
6. Least favorite? Least favorite ever? Well, I wasn't a big fan of them getting rid of the construction doors in front of Big Bird's house, but I understand why they did it.
7. If you had the opportunity to spend the day eating cookies with Cookie Monster, flying with Super Grover, listening to weather reports with Bert, coloring with Elmo, or doing magic with Abby, which would you choose? All of the above but, maybe minus the flying. I kind of hate heights.
8. Pick a performing duo: Jim Henson and Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt, Steve Whitmire and Eric Jacobson, Joey Mazzarino and David Rudman, or Matt Vogel and Marty Robinson Oh that's definitely gotta be Frank and Jim.
9. What movie should have been a Crumby Picture? Beauty and the Beast! I mean c'mon, it would've been perfect. You could have Cookie as the beast learning to control himself, Prairie Dawn could be Belle, and you could have various other major characters as the talking furniture and dishes, etc. Ooh, I see an idea for a fan fiction brewing !
10. What's behind the big blue blob? The bear in the big blue house.

Heh, I used to kind of ship Cookie and Prairie when I was younger, lol.

Heh, I used to kind of ship Cookie and Prairie when I was younger, lol.

Well, in the context of this, I wasn't really thinking in a shippy kind of way.I think there's a way to do it without them falling in love.
But, yeah, I still ship them, lol.

4. What other contemporary celebrities would you like to see alongside the Muppets?

I know Lindsey Stirling (with Josh Groban) did a video with the Classic Muppets for YT, but I still would love to see her dance up a storm on SST.

In the theatre: Rogue One. At home: Kubo and the Two Strings.

2. What upcoming film are you most excited about?
I wasn't really interested in the new Thor flick until I learned that Taika Waititi is directing. Loved What We Do in the Shadows.

3. What superhero movie, in your opinion, has done the best job of staying true to the characters/comics/source material?

Though a cameo here or there might be amusing, I don't feel that these universes really mesh well. To me, any attempt would feel very forced.

8. What movie still makes you laugh whenever you watch it?
Cabin in the Woods.

9. What film makes you cry whenever you watch it?
The Room. Kidding. I haven't been moved to tears by a film in a long time, but there were moments in Kubo and in Logan where I did feel very somber.

10. What film would you never see again no matter what bribe was offered you?
I can't conceive of ever sitting through Dick Tracy again. Or Red Zone Cuba.

Haven't seen many films lately, though there've been some I wanted to watch.

Thor 3: Ragnarock to see how they handle the end-of-world scenario; and Coco, I've been waiting for two years for that one.

Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy from 2004-2012.

Agreed, DC's not faring well here... Batman vs Superman was a joke, at least by the trailer they aired for the home movie channel.

Something like The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made, along the lines of Gonzo and Fozzie and Kermit in a Muppety version of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

6. Who would you get to direct it?
Since Gary Marshall's gone, how about his sister Penny?

[Pig'sSaysAdios]

What's this, the government wants my answers AGAIN?!? Well, your not gettin' a peep outta me! No sir!
Eh, alright, fine, i'll bite...

1. Best film you've seen in the last six months?
The last six months? Unfortunately most of the films i've seen have been recent animated films, and while most of them haven't been bad they didn't really impress me all that much. Hopefully 2017 is a return to form.

2. What upcoming film are you most excited about?
Spider Man:Homecoming. Finally, a Spider Man movie without the origin story! And if we're talking movies after this year, i'm really looking forward to that new Sesame Street movie, if it really is still happening.
3. What superhero movie, in your opinion, has done the best job of staying true to the characters/comics/source material?
Hmmm, not sure. I've mostly just seen movies from the MCU.

4. Worst superhero movie so far?
DC comics. That's it, that's all I have to say... just, DC.

5. If you could greenlight a new Muppet film, what would the plot be?
It would be entitled "Bunny Quest", and it would be about Animal saving hundreds of bunnies from Big Mean Carl.

6. Who would you get to direct it?
Frank Oz, and he can play Animal in it too!

7. Would you ever want to see a Muppet film mashup with another Disney-owned franchise (Marvel, Star Wars, etc) - why or why not? (Big-screen, folks. I KNOW we've already had Hamill Himself and )
'The Muppets Meet Howard the Duck'

8. What movie still makes you laugh whenever you watch it?
Fantastic Mr. Fox

9. What film makes you cry whenever you watch it?
I haven't come very close to crying during a film since I saw the ending to Toy Story 3 in theaters.
10. What film would you never see again no matter what bribe was offered you?
Can't think of any off the top of my head. However, I have seen some pretty boring kids movies before. I'll watch any bad movie you want me to, as long as it's not dull.
