Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Yeah, I wish I had thought before I choice my screen name on here (I don't even get it!). But my name's Natalie, so maybe more of you will start calling me that too. :)
Just to set a couple things straight:
I never said it wasn't depicting God, because obviously it was, but they tried really hard not to use religiousy terms so as not to offend many people (obviously it still did offend some).
Also, no, I didn't think there was anything inappropriate in...
I thought the opening credits was the part with the mix of muppets and people on the street and then it went right to the muppet theater with the gang. The whole David Arquette scene didn't start for at least ten minutes into it, right? It was completely muppet oriented at first. But you're...
I'm glad we're talking about more positive things again. There were so many good bits in the movie. The other thread about this was getting too negative. New members just another indication that muppets are making a big comeback. And I think we're all glad to see you back Cory!
Hey welcome!
We sure are getting a lot of new members since the movie!
Yeah, Pepe was awesome in the movie, even though he may have been kinda "bad" at some parts, but that's part of his personality. I loved how he failed when pretending to be Fozzie, "wocka wocka hokay"! That was...
I do agree with you, Jessica. I think any parent would have done just what you had done. They thought that this would be a family movie, there was nothing to say it wasn't going to be geared towards kids too, and it turned out not quite like that. It was disappointing that they couldn't have...
And this is totally a side note, but look at my too quotes in my sig
These are just a couple examples of things you might not want your young kids to go around saying!
So see, the muppets have always had a touch of adult humor.
Good point. I was watching carefully throughout the movie to see if I'd catch them say she was actually God or they were angels or whatever, but they didn't. I personally saw nothing wrong with it except for the fact that Whoopi played it in a strange way. She seemed a little too "oh...
I totally agree with Luke and punknpuppets. Yes, the movie disturbed me a bit. But that was only because it was seeing the muppets doing some of the things they were doing. Getting beyond that, how many of us would actually think any of it was inappropriate if it hadn't been a muppet movie at...
About this new age of muppetdom being inappropriate for young children: I think that maybe they ARE trying to gear more towards adults now.
I mean, over the last few years, the muppets have been basically dead. Pretty much all of the fans are either from the teenage generation and older...
I LOVED Piggy in it! Her voice was a little off at first, and I couldn't understand some of what she said, but then it got better. She looked great too
A side note: I had to tape the movie and watch it 2 hours later, so apparently I missed the crowd on here earlier. But tonight we had the most members ever on at once all year! I think that's great. I know I was ready to hop on here as soon as the movie ended.
Well I really enjoyed it. There were a lot of great lines and it was good to see old characters back (despite the different voices). Yes, it wasn't rated G, but I don't think it was too much. Kermit was a bit over the top in parts of it though, too crazy. The muppet fan site line was...
I thought a lot of the SS characters were little kids, so anything adult that they do is probably for the adult audience SS used to be also geared towards. Also, about that "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" post, I was always so confused how Rowlf and Kermit could sing together, I...
I wish I was doing that, but I have to work, at the mall the day after thanksgiving (um, yeah, that will be fun, not!), so I'll have to tape it. But I've had muppet movie parties before, they're definitely more fun to watch with friends.
