    Early Reports: Looks like Muppets will be #2 (next to Twilight)

    Indeed. The sharp drop off to me is unfortunate and strange, given its coming off unanimous praise from critics and fans...but its not enough to appeal to the dumb plebean masses who mostly are into garbage like Transformers(sorry michael bay, but you truly did destroy a beloved franchise), fast...

    The movie could have been even better (article)

    I enjoyed both times I saw it, heck I liked it the second time more. I dont think hardly anyone on here is saying they didnt have a great fun time. I had an absolute wonderful time when I saw it. My issues come down to more, when I have time to think about it, where the film stands for me. I'll...

    Mid 90's Toons! (Tick, Rockos, Eek the Cat, Critic, Catdog, Family Dog)

    @Dr Tooth: Is there any good forums for fans of these sort of cartoons? Not just TMNT or Invader Zim, but also all these great Fox Kids cartoons, Disney afternoon, late 90's Disney saturday morning, 90's nick and cartoon network?

    What is your favorite childhood toy?

    I always was resentful how they made all sorts of toys for Rugrats, Catdog, Ahhh! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold, Doug...but NEVER any for Rockos Modern Life or Angry Beavers:( Also I woulda loved an Artie strongest man in the world doll^_^

    Get me my cane...

    For some reason I thought you were way younger, trippy! I wasn't in high school til the early 90's, but for theater in 6th grade I'd go to the local high school every day for rehearsal in the auditorium. It was funny, I remember the new wave/mod high schoolers dug me. I so wish I could have gone...

    Get me my cane...

    I remember when Pacman hit arcades, but it was Ms Pacman that really seemed to be the rage near me. My parents thought Empire was too intense to be taking a 2 year old too. However, I got to see Return of the Jedi in theaters when it first came out, which was beyond amazing(its to this day my...

    Early Reports: Looks like Muppets will be #2 (next to Twilight)

    Well it beat all four of the major kids movies at the box office. Twilight was not its competition. So that's something to cheer for. I am a bit stunned in retrospect...I thought all the major buzz and critical acclaim would propel it to do seriously big numbers in its second week Personally I...

    Early Reports: Looks like Muppets will be #2 (next to Twilight)

    We won't know til Sunday night if the Muppets literally dropped over 2/3. Everywhere I go when I wear my Kermit shirt people get excited and ask if I saw the movie, but again that might not translate to mass appeal. To me the Twilight thing is a non factor since even if that was out I dont think...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    Mormons til 1979(I guess their dogma is whatever the LDS decides) believed blacks were cursed. All over the world homosexuals, particularly in "Christian" Carribean and African nations(as well as Arab Muslim nations) are hunted down, imprisoned and often killed. I think sooner or later a...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    My view, as I've always maintained, is that Ernie and Bert were a quasi spoof on both Jim and Frank's friendship but moreover the funny man/straight man routine popular at the time on tv. But I also think it's important to recognize that it's ok for some to see them as adoptive representatives...

    The Muppet Show Comic Books

    Nice! I love Opus/Bill and Bloom County! Berkeley rocks. That, Doonesbury, and especially Calvin and Hobbes=pure gold. Only modern strip that comes close is Get Fuzzy

    Free Comic Book Day 2012 announced (includes Labyrinth)

    Every convention I go to, every forum Im on, everyone frickin' loves Adventure Time. I mean I get the random innocent kooky nature of it, its just not my bag. I still like Invader Zim, but again it got too popular with people(tho, not in the way that would sustain it on the network) Yeah Regular...

    Will There Be Any DisneyPark Specials/Tie-ins Next Year?

    What is the new star tours like? I was there for opening month in 1986. Was so blown away by the waiting queue stuff I didnt mind the 3 hour wait. And Captain E/O...beyond amazing. Also when will Beuna Vista Street open at Calif Adv? I plan to go there when it opens. I love the whole...

    Early Reports: Looks like Muppets will be #2 (next to Twilight)

    I dont see the surprise or bad news. As long as it sticks in second. Noone at Disney assumed it would be Twilight. We have the moral victory. People of all ages light up at the mere sight or mention of Muppets. It's mostly girls with personality defects going to see Twilight, and dragging their...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I was wearing my Kermit Mosaic shirt at the big local electronic store, and one of the workers asked if I had seen the film and that her friends were racing about it. Then the girl who rang me up was saying how much she loved the shirt, loved the film but was sad Rizzo and Pepe werent in it and...

    The movie could have been even better (article)

    I never said it was a bad film. I stated in a separate thread how I felt compared to the classic films. Obviously it's not a bad film, as it's had insane critical acclaim with critics, people on here and at the BO

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I never got the fan tape hoarders. I mean sure, in the 90's when I started vhs tape trading, it was kept more private and it was harder to do and took a lot of time. But now everything is either a digital file or can be converted. Ive been more than happy to made dvdrs and sent out to people...

    Frank Oz worked on a new Muppet movie script

    Oh gosh, yeah I forgot the kung fu bit. That was so poorly executed, with a bad cinematography job, bad cgi, etc. Again, shades of VMX. That Salena Gomez/kid from Modern Family scene, shades of VMX. The golden twinkle effects when they clean the stage and other fade uses, very tv special like...
