Frog it! Well, I guess this will never be addressed and I have been made aware that this login issue is not just isolated to my account. Since 2001, I have provided well over $40,000 worth of free work for Muppet Central because I love the Muppets and the fan community. Calculating that...

Murch's is the truer, yet still flawed, interpretation of Oz. MGM amazingly rebranded the book and made so many elements their own that it practically eclipses the source material. Try doing Oz without ruby slippers and most people are going to cry foul. I'd really like to see someone do it...

Ha! My cellphone spell-check didn't get that. At least it didn't create some other colorful spellings of words as it has done in the past! Stories for another time. :eek: Actually, yes it was a happy accident in that the film prevailed despite many production problems that should have been...

Really? I can respect your preference but not your reasoning. Kane isn't really about some spectacular revelation of a physical object. It's a little long-winded but meticulously crafted, well performed and nothing short of brilliant. It's not about "trying hard". Everything about the execution...

Star Wars Trilogy: I don't really see the films as overrated. All 6 films are still a pleasure to watch even with their problems here and there. Any director would have gladly taken the chair from George Lucas if not for the frustrations he created for the director of Empire that almost...

Thanks. I don't know why they aren't being posted anymore. MC's not getting new work from me, but they can keep the old stuff. The menus are technically well designed and have lasted nearly a decade. They'll still be posted here in not elsewhere. :)

No Easter menu with Muppet Babies was posted this year and the beautiful Puppetry Menu with Jim Henson's fantasy characters was also skipped. Muppet Central no longer appears interested in maintaining anything on the website other than the lucrative product links so if the menus keep getting...

happy birthday!

That recent revelation is very interesting! Could it be that it's mainly American religious culture that has such a problem with evolution these days.

Portions of evolution do fit into Genesis - the order of things. Fish and foul coming first etc. It's when man comes along that things become complicated. I don't think the Catholic Church endorses the idea that man and ape shared a common ancestor. That sounds remarkably progressive for the...

I can agree with you about the danger of absolutes. I've been taught by several denominations and the one point where they all agree is that a believer can't pick and choose and re-frame scripture based on their own personal impressions. The idea is that the Bible was written by man, but...

No, I'm saying that the Bible (i.e. the word of God) should be perfect. I mean no more and no less than exactly what I said. If the scripture is a road map and that map is incomplete or flawed then I think there's a big problem. Christians can decide to overlook that, but I can't. I used find...

I only reject the Bible because it's not perfect and it's supposed to be divinely inspired. That is the reason I don't think it should have so many holes or inconsistencies. The leap of faith should lie elsewhere. In fact, it should be in one particular place. Personally, I see the Bible not...

You said it right there. John the Baptist was single and considered a weirdo. Why wasn't the same said for Jesus? It all comes down to the concept of his virginity, potential procreation and subsequent lineage. Respectfully of course, all of this just seems like convenient explanation for...

At that time, being a single, unmarried man was an insult to God. Like so many other things, that's not so much the case anymore. Actually, marriage is quite encouraged and expected by Orthodox Jews. Jesus' being single could have been his personal choice and I understand why it he would...

I agree 100%. It would require a different license, but eFX is makes replicas and a Muppet Stage would fall in line with that. They should get this guy to draft a model for them and maybe they could include a few figures or figurines. I love what Palisades did, but let's face it. Neither...

I agree with you. While I understand the concern, the fact is that Muppets fit much more easily into the Disney mold than soap operas. The cancellation of ABC's soaps is not about soaps at all. This is about television viewers and advertisers and TV as a radically changing beast. Daytime...

It sounds like they're going to lose the license just from lack of activity alone. Maybe there could be some movement with the movie? I still doubt that Rizzo would be the first out of the gate if they did go forward.

I'm sorry. I just can't agree with that. I'm sure her work elsewhere was great, but her voice work for the Babies and Gonzo was so awful it still makes me want to get all stabby with an icepick to my ears. :grouchy:

Fandom, like friendship, should be an all-year-round investment and not just when the spotlight is shining brightly. I feel this forum feeds off us fans rather than offer a true community relationship. And I froggin' wish we could use as many ! ! ! and :) :cool: :coy: as we feel necessary.
