Yup, Catholics can be cool. :halo:

I understand, yet still find it to be an odd omission. This book is supposed to be perfect and this is another reason that I just don't see it. It's a convenient explanation and could very well be a legitimate one if not for the pile of other strange inconsistencies that keep me from giving any...

I think everybody did. It wasn't until the 11th century that the Catholic Church enforced celibacy for clergy. I still think something about Jesus' lack of marriage or family would have been mentioned as it would have been out of the ordinary and require some sort of explanation to his...

Hey dude, that's not fair. :mad: <----angry piggy! While I do think Disney made a huge mistake in the past by dismantling their traditional animation division, I have always maintained that the story should drive every film. I'm glad Lasseter is actually leading the charge of bringing...

two questions It seems like every little thing Jesus did that went against the religious norm in his time was singled out by some pious naysayer in the Bible so why wouldn't his lack of family be noted? A man of his age without a wife and children would have been widely seen as some sort of...

We all work for the man! Think of all the screenwriters out there that make mere peanuts from the successful film they dreamed up. They could hide their work or produce it on an independent shoestring budget but that usually means an even smaller payday if they make anything at all! It's how the...

Yeah, he doesn't need them anymore. He had the surgery, but people won't accept him without the frames! Tell me about it. I find them cumbersome, but sometimes I have to wear them and give my eyes a rest. Blind without my prescription. My whole body just moves so much that glasses are just...

Hehe. Nah, I wish! People could still recognize me a mile away with my back turned and wearing a wig. Some people have that aura. I admit to being a little O.C.D. about some things. I mean, go for a good run or get on a treadmill in glasses and unless you have some sort of sports contraption...

And they poke at your eyes! eeeek! :eek:

I got my first pair of glasses in January of 1985 and my first pair of contacts for my 11th birthday that following April, so I've had a lot of time to adjust. 26 years to be exact! I remember it was a tough day at the eye doctor, but I figured it out in about an hour. Maybe I was mature for my...

I get you. Part of me still feels that this debacle is part of why Landgridge left the Muppet comics even though he admitted some other personal factors. He really rebuilt the Muppets in comic form through his writing and direction, but likely only earned a fraction of what he's worth for it and...

I'm not saying Mavel needs the Muppets. I think the Muppets can benefit from Marvel's exposure. Of course your deep knowledge about the history of comics from all labels far transcends my own, but who at Marvel said they have no plans to release anything new? Who says this indicates anything...

I'd somehow missed that. Thanks for sharing that article. I'm particularly impressed with how they came up with the packaging elements.

Hey, Aerosmith! :super: Thanks, I'm glad you liked my Pepe. I'm not sure what exactly Monty Maldovan does beyond the Vinylmations. I've poked around on the net and have only seen his as a "final checker" on Mulan in Disney's animation department. Artist John Loter provides most of the Disney...

I commend Marty for bringing the Muppet Vinylmations to us and much of his work is okay. Nonetheless, his designs are derived directly from the stock art in one way or another and that doesn't always show an independent knowledge of the actual characters nor does it put a distinct visual stamp...

Many of the designs are either directly from or direct copies of licensing art many fans have seen for years. It's disappointing because they really aren't original drawings thus rendering the designs a little more stiff. However, the Swinetrek gang seems to be a little more original and shows...

It's not so much a neurosis as a physicality. I'm clumsy in glasses. I feel that no matter how refined my specs, they create a veneer that removes me from the world I see therefore I'm spazy. They'll always be a little more cumbersome than contact lenses because it's an extra thing on my face...

I respect the care Boom took, but I want the Muppets on major labels now. If that means re-issues then go for it! The quality of the art and writing is still there in these issues and at a very affordable price point. This has impulse purchase written all over it and that could be a great thing...

"Elmo in Grouchland" tanked at the Box Office simply because it was a bad movie. It was uneven from beginning to end and the otherwise good actors were encouraged to pull faces and ham-it-up rather than play it like they would on the real Sesame Street program. Elmo In Grouchland cost $26...

I feel the need to be clear just in case. The point of the gross receipt listing was not to compare as much as compile how much Muppet movies have made altogether. That should have been clear from the paragraph accompanying the list. Maybe that part was skipped. Still, Elmo's movie did bite, but...
