So, remind me, how was this conversation related to Angelina Jolie? I'm sure it had something to do with special effects...

I totally, absolutely agree with Frogboy. This keeps coming up again and again: There seems to be some puritanical idea of the Muppets that is not so. Jim Henson originally wanted it to be an adult show and that is what it always was. What we love about them is that they can joke about grown-up reality.

To degrade them to some sort of prudish world would be a slap in the face of Jim Henson!

I think we were talking about how they were planning on making Angelina completely CGI. Curvacious and pixelated! :zany:

I'm thinking a combination of the two. Take Ange in Beowulf, add some feathers, take away the creepy gold tail, and that's basically what I'm thinking.

I enjoyed Angelina in Beowolf! ..but I don't think she would do well in a feathered suit. Not many people could pull that look off. haha
