There's a wide spectrum of interpretation as far as the Bible is concerned. What is strict truth, what is supporting antiquated societal norms and what is allegory? Is slavery okay? What about multiple wives? Was there really a specific change in the kosher laws? Jesus didn't mention gay...

You're right. What I said was a fair example on the topic of discussion. But there are examples of prejudice on both sides of the isle. One of the most notable is Joe Biden's back-handed compliment about Obama being clean and well-spoken for an African American. It's true that much of the...

I am so glad and I know you'll enjoy it! It shouldn't have taken the nine months or so, but my feeling is that it will be worth the wait. I knew Darren was legit, just busy and a bit evasive. :halo: yaaaay! (waving arms about)

I'm pleasantly surprised by the post here... Ultimately, it's not only about love. It's also about living and letting others to live as well. :) How I believe things should be: Christians and other religious groups should be able to worship openly in this country without fear of losing...

Aw, thanks. :) My guess is that Disney is attempting to draw a distinction between the Muppet brand and next year's Muppet movie logo. Companies are really concerned with that these days and it's kind of silly. They're also trying to brand the name "Muppet" with the "Disney" logo and show...

Quick pop back since branding is a skill of mine. I don't see why this timeless look isn't used over that clever, but contrived art school student looking composition. Keep it simple! :)

Yeah...finally me too (kinda) Frog, how I dislike this thread and I'm going to keep posting here, but probably a lot less... :sympathy: The truth is that Muppet Central has fallen short as a content-driven site for quite some time and none of my efforts have been able to revive it. I'm still...

There's nothing wrong with Sesame's program. They can't only list antioxidant foods because it wouldn't show balance. They are missing protein (I wouldn't want to see Gladys in that role) and you know, cheese is not a necessity. Broccoli actually has calcium! But I see nothing wrong with this...

He's a longtime friend of mine and that's how I read his post. When in doubt, give others the benefit of that doubt. It's just more Muppety that way, Mupp. :)

I think Beaker's point is that - while Disney has some great, iconic cartoon characters that are globally more high-profile than the Muppets, the Muppets have something special that animated characters don't. They physically exist and can appear live in their actual, original form (just like the...

I agree. I kind of think they'll go with something else. I'm partial to "The Muppets Strike Back!" or something like that, but more original. The one thing I wouldn't want it called is "The Great Muppet Comeback" because that could be seen as presumptuous. But as long as they're using the plural...

The joke is refrencing Disney's branding the plural of "Muppets" rather than the singular "Muppet" in titles as it has been for decades. Disney has changed the title of this film to "The Muppets Movie" :o

I agree with you on Cars. It does have the standard "Pixar heart" ,a thoughtful story and a good moral that winning means nothing without integrity and friendship; but I'm not a great fan of animated vehicles in the first place. As charming as they are they are inherently more alienating than...

They've got the Beau puppet, so it seems like a sure thing!

It's such a beautifully filmed and crafted show. What appears seamless to us is likely far more complicated and expensive than we know. I hope they bring back Bear and Tutter someday. Things are cyclical so it's not out of the question. With the "Muppets Movie", "Power of the Dark Crystal" and...

Technically, most US studio pictures are judged on whether they exceed their budget domestically. "Bolt" didn't quite get there, but made over $114M of its $150M budget and was impressive overseas. "Princess and the Frog" actually cost less and made back its budget ($105M) domestically, but was...

I love it and all of it's creepiness! :super:

:sing: It's great to hear from Travis on this. Nobody knows the Muppet posers' journey better and I completely agree with what he's said. Anything Kermit always sells, but the other Muppets can be more of a challenge. A lot of the last few non-KermitPalisades' figure releases are still...

I appreciate that you distinguished your view point and decisions from what everyone has to accept. Even though I do take exception at being labeled a sinner for being gay (not even Jesus is reported to have said that outright), it's clear that belief comes from the religious dogma that you have...

That's the best weekend they could release it! It shows Disney's confidence and determination in the Muppets' future. Yaaaaaaay! (waving arms about) :)
