    Letters to Santa: Some thoughts

    I'm crazy about "It's All About Heart". Reminds me of "Movin' Right Along" - just a great, jaunty travelin' tune. If I could pick any place for another musical number in The Muppets, it'd be a number starting with Kermit and Fozzie and Gonzo once they decide they need to do a montage while...

    Hobbit trailer TOMORROW

    Nah, MGM's issues were settled a while ago, and PJ's been shooting The Hobbit for the better part of a year. Incredible cast. Martin Freeman was who I wanted for Bilbo way back in 2004, and six years of patient waiting later, it became a reality.

    Hobbit trailer TOMORROW

    I know we have our fair share of Tolkien fans here, and so I wanted to bring attention to this. I could not be more excited. In related news - It's ten years to the day since I went to the midnight showing of Fellowship of the Ring. I was eleven. I went in with all the skepticism and baggage in...

    Saddest Song in A Muppet Movie

    I've always loved that directorial choice of Brian's.

    Saddest Song in A Muppet Movie

    It's hard for me to cry during "Love Led Us Here" when it's being intercut with pirates bathing in treasure.

    You're absolutely right. These characters are ALIVE.

    Boober's best moments

    Mine's a little weird. It's when we first hear the medley of all the Fraggles' songs, and as they're all singing, Boober - who took a backseat throughout the episode - comes out and just sings this awkward little ditty that goes "ha HA ha!" I've always loved that. People have felt shafted that...

    What's in store for the Muppets in 2012 article

    You right. It's amazingly well-done - and not just animated, either. It's performance capture, so those are the actor's real performances. Give it a shot, you might be surprised. My favorite adventure movie in a long, long time.

    Fan Poll: Favorite Muppet Christmas Production

    God but do I adore Muppet Family Christmas. That Jerry Juhl script is just perfection.

    Songs the Electric Mayhem could perform

    This thread is wonderful and makes me continue my ever-long dream of someday hearing a full-length Electric Mayhem album. They should do "Satisfaction."

    Letters to Santa: Some thoughts

    I was incredibly weirded out by Krakowski's performance. Half of the time she looked like she was totally charmed by the Muppets, the other half she looked like she was about to call 911.

    Peter Linz narrates audiobooks!

    Okay - I had no idea, but I was on audible.com (where I do all of my audiobook shopping), had a couple free credits to use - and I come across a version of The Night Before Christmas narrated by none other than Peter Linz! I listened to the sample to see if it was him, and sure enough, it was! I...

    Saddest Song in A Muppet Movie

    This time of year I'm inclined to say "Bless Us All" just because the friggin' soundtrack includes Tiny Tim coughing at the end! :(

    Rayman

    I can't wait to play it. I love the resurgence of 2D platformers of late. "Donkey Kong Country Returns" was all I did for about three days straight.

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Seen The Muppets three times now, and it always reduces me to a mess. The score that plays when Walter first walks into Kermit's office and sees all the photos sets such the right tone. Don't know if it counts as tear jerking, but it's close.

    Your favorite TV shows of all time

    I listed it a few pages back, but haven't seen anyone else mention it, so I just want to make a special recognition of Breaking Bad. It really is the greatest storytelling on TV, and possibly anywhere right now. No show is as completely satisfying, and no show has me as mentally, emotionally and...

    We have a Muppet movie in theaters, guys. And a really good one at that. In my eyes, there's nothing to be unhappy about here.

    Best place for that would be under Muppet Merchandise.
