    Kermit & Miss Piggy on "This Morning" - 8th February 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEFfzrjZm4 I didn't see it mentioned so I tried to make a separate thread but that wasn't working, so here ya go!

    Great choices, and thank you for asking! I especially look forward to Baskerville and Johnny & Sal!

    Your Fave And Least Fave Movies Of 2011?

    I just wanted to say one little thing about CGI films. As much as I think pre-CGI animation should come back in theaters too, I also know that I've quite enjoyed a CGI film even if it was a little creaky. Think of the stop-motion of days of old...it wasn't always fluid, but you can still dig the...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Thank you for the tips, beaker! While mainstream radio annoys me, modern indie bands often lack the oomph I'm looking for. That's why I stopped looking into the names I hear. But I will check out your suggestions, and I may be happily surprised!

    Bad Guys/Villains we didn't root for

    Ha, I too wasn't so keen on the prequels...episode 1 was my least liked, and they got better from there, but none came close to the original trilogy. And that really drives the point home that you didn't like the prequels, when a character you didn't like in the classics becomes the favorite in...

    Bad Guys/Villains we didn't root for

    Earlier I said the Blockheads in Gumby (since they do not have even one good personality trait - they're always doing bad things to good people) and Palpatine in Star Wars (who most of us first got to know in Return Of The Jedi, and boy is he hard to like!) and I stand by those choices. I could...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    I haven't looked into them, but I'm wondering if the other tunes on the album with that song have a similar production technique. The song sounds older than it is, which I like. Even if I don't like a song these days, I can appreciate how the artist wants it to have an atmosphere that doesn't...

    Golden Globes - What's the Point?

    And the Country artists of the past wouldn't be too keen on the current crop of Country, in my opinion. I like classic Country, but not the new stuff...with very few exceptions. And if it's pop masquerading as country, you can bet I don't consider it country. Even if I don't dislike it, I'd say...

    Frank Oz worked on a new Muppet movie script

    Yeah, when the Columbia folks told Filmation that there would be no cartoon based on the Columbia Ghostbusters, Filmation thought, "Okay, well, we'll make a cartoon based on our Ghostbusters, then!" I'm glad they did. Of course, we know (secretly?) the Columbia cartoon was being worked on by...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    But I think there's a way to make a modern movie that feels timeless...I would have really appreciated that from this film, but even so, it only had a few moments that felt "too-obviously-late 2000's/early 2010's". I didn't expect it to be free of such moments, nor did I expect it to feel 100%...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    It's interesting...since I haven't yet looked into what was originally planned for the film, I can't yet comment on that, or judge the film with that in mind. As for the funk soundtrack, I liked that about it. I think that's something the Muppets could get into!:D

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Jerry Nelson is the voice of so many amazing characters (many that we all know) that would never have been the same without him - and he's a wonderful singer who sings with feeling! I'm not sure why Jerry wasn't credited in the 2011 Muppet film (maybe some kind of Disney red tape) but it was a...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Think of the Muppets themselves. There are many different types, and yet they're all accepted and welcome in the group by the others. There ya go! :) Embrace and learn all things Henson & friends, and you won't be let down. As for being too emotional about it all, all I can say is, maybe...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I think if MFS had had as much promotion as the 2011 Muppet film, it would have had a similar amount of people going to see it. There were good things and not-so-good things about both the 2011 Muppet film and MFS, but I think MFS is worthy of a space on the shelf along with the 2011 film. But I...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I know I heard Jerry Nelson do the narration during the telethon the Muppets did in this film! I didn't catch his name in the credits, but his voice is so unique - it HAD to be him! So, I checked Jerry's IMDB page to see if the man himself was involved, and for 2011 next to The Muppets, it says...

    Henson may make more Fraggles

    As for a Fraggle film: I still feel the 1980's Fraggle Rock series is so perfect that it shouldn't be touched. Sure, they had the cartoon, and I liked that, but that was still around the same time. All this time later, it will never be the same. Even the 2011 Muppet film didn't feel like the...

    I thought you were a fan of the Filmation cartoon...I know I am, and it's not a bad thing at all that they travel through time and space! :)
