I imagine that we've had a thread about this before, but perhaps not. I'm sure someone will tell me. Recently I've been thinking about how The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper both have different origins for Kermit and Piggy's relationship. I've gotten a headache from pondering this a...

Here's the trailer for Pixar's next, to be released June 27th of next year. I think this sounds and looks just wonderful. I knew from the moment I saw the first released image of Wall-E that I would be completely in love with this movie... this teaser trailer has only cemented that. I think...

Let's talk about irony. What are some ironic things happening in your life? I didn't realize how funny this was until just a moment ago. Since about the middle of March, I've had the great film Groundhog Day playing in the background while I use the computer before I go to sleep. Considering...

Is anybody watching them now? I'm rooting for Liev Schreiber... he was FANTASTIC in Talk Radio.

Oh sweet God yes. Who's already clearing their schedule for fall 2009?

I listen to lots and lots of music, and I've heard about nineteen albums for this year. Here's how I would personally rank all that I've heard this year, in order from best to worst. Jarvis Cocker - Jarvis Menomena - Friend and Foe The National - Boxer Wilco - Sky Blue Sky Arcade Fire -...

So, it's officially the summer movie season now. What movies are you looking forward to this summer? Huh? The movies I'm most excited about this summer are 100% originals... or, at least, they aren't based on pre-existing film franchises. The ones I won't be missing are Knocked Up...

Oh my God. This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

I'm fairly certain that a lot of us are pretty passionate about film. Who are some of your favorite directors? My favorite filmmaker of all-time is Pedro Almodóvar, the Spanish director of movies such as Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, All About My Mother...

Oh my God, I am excited beyond words. I own all of the Tintin comics that are currently available, and I used to watch the cartoon all the time on Nickelodeon... I remember it airing paired with The Muppet Show a lot. I couldn't pick two better filmmakers to bring Tintin and his friends to...

According to Thursday's Variety, there is consideration for expanding The Office from a half-hour to a full hour next year, when the show moves to the coveted 9 p.m. time slot previously held by Seinfeld, Cheers, and Frasier. For fellow fans of the show... what do you think about this? I...

For me, it isn't even on Sesame Street. It happened a few years ago on Jimmy Kimmel Live, when Grover told Tim Daly that he was great in Sideways. An absolute genius ad-lib by Eric.

We're all having such a fun time with the Spider-Man 3/Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and X-Men threads that I decided to make one for my personal favorite (human) Marvel hero, Iron Man, who will be making his way to the big screen exactly a year from today. The film, which is...

I decided we needed a thread to talk about the wonderful world of comics. Any comics. Superhero comics, newspaper comics, online comics... whatever! We should talk about them though. We should start by talking about our favorites. Go.

According to Muppet Wiki, there were three pitches by a guy named Darin McGowan, an animator, to the Hensons for animated series. You can read about them in some detail here. I must say that I hate hate hate the idea of Muppets '75, for obvious reasons. Waiting for Kermit isn't a bad idea...

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20015535,00.html I could not be more psyched. The Flaming Lips has been one of my favorite bands for more than ten years... I still remember when I heard Be My Head.

In its list of Thirteen Films with Wildly Mismatched Romantic Pairings, A.V. Club places the relationship of Nicky Holiday (Charles Grodin) and Miss Piggy in The Great Muppet Caper at #13. You can read the rest of the list here.

Right off the bat, I will tell you that Hot Fuzz is the most I have laughed in a movie theater in more than five years. It's that funny. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg are truly excellent screenwriters. What they've managed to do is acknowledge the overused clichés in wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am...

I've collected a lot of things. I've upheld a pretty impressive comic collection over the years, but losing interest in the industry the way it currently is, I sold everything but the rare ones (including an original Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of Spider-Man!). I guess you could...
