    The movie could have been even better (article)

    Thats true. Some films I loved as a kid I now see on dvd and go "ehh...I remember it being much better". Some films I grew up with in the 80's, blow me away even today and I literally find them flawless. With the advent of dvd it was fun to see all the deleted/alternate/extended takes of a film...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Usually you notice things more on a second viewing. I was able to just enjoy the experience more the second time, as the first time it was hard to not anticipate spoiler stuff/clips I had scene. Unfortunately it's hard to completely turn off things that bugged me, like the complete dismissal of...

    The movie could have been even better (article)

    Aw that is true. But this does not feel at all like a classic film to me, as much as I know that was their intention. This feels like a very modern film(in the way its shot, edited, written, etc) and thats fine, as I know their heart was in(and they succeeded greatly) in bringing the classic...

    The Muppet Show Comic Books

    Most book stores, comic stores, and all Toys R Us' carry the Muppets comics reprinted. I know Dr Tooth and I made some remarks awhile back at the disappointment of Boom's line being randomly canned...BUT I truly feel these collected Muppet magazines are a seriously great deal and a must have...

    How well does the new movie have to do?

    Nice! They should also slam Twilight in the ads while they're at it, maybe even ruin the ending with a sly comment from Pepe.

    The movie could have been even better (article)

    Right, but why is it "fantasy" family and kids films can get away with being over two hours? Ive rarely seen a kids film like Muppet movies that can make you cry or tear up. So I wouldnt put it in the same category as your typical cgi fest if I were a company executive. Ive actually talked with...

    What is your favorite childhood toy?

    That's why Im so glad for ebay. If something really meant something to me, I just would find a mint condition version on ebay if I lost it or if its in bad shape. Ive been able to find rare Nintendo game and watch lcd games, figures, etc. Im pretty picky now, so it has to have severe sentimental...

    Anyone Find The Lack Of Muppet Merch Disturbing?

    I found out they actually made more MvA merch than I realized. Not saturate the landscape ala Toy Story 3 and Terminator Salvation wise, but they made figures of every single character(either action figures or bendems, including numerous playsets) Not sure where the bendys were sold, but theyre...

    Muppet or Man?

    It's certainly an interesting position and perspective to come from. I think if I had had more luck in that department, perhaps I would not been blessed with the perspective or angle I do. I notice people used to getting guys/girls or always being in relationships seem jaded and it doesnt seem...

    Muppet Interactive Game on Disney Fantasy cruise ship

    Aha! I did remember correctly, there had been a Muppets live cruise thing called "Muppets Ahoy!" with live skits and stuff throughout the thing http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Disney_Cruise_Lines

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Sweet! You shoulda gave them the muppet central and muppet mindset url or gotten their facebooks:) (thats what I woulda done) its insanely rare for me to find devoted fans or even passing fans here, as much as people always complement me on my muppet outfits

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    In a way though, isn't it making fun of all the flippant teen kids who probably dont like or even know who they are? I mean thats the whole thrust of the film Also its becoming so painful to read about all the scenes/ending/etc they originally shot today. Reading all the details, seeing some of...

    The movie could have been even better (article)

    I know it's gotten almost 100% unanimous praise from critics and fans alike, but after seeing it a couple times I just cannot shake loose that something is not just a little but drastically off. After reading this article on what was deleted, I am so wishing we lived in a world where THIS was...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Well where does the BOOM comics continuity come into play. Is it set in the 1970's? Yet it has some modern technology/references and grown up skeeter. Gonzo has acknowledged his adult life in the 1970's...does this mean Muppet Babies takes place in the 50's? Yet Muppet Babies spoofs 80's...

    "The Muppets": Audience Reactions

    Hey I am still hoping they are making muppet movies by the time i get a girlfriend or date! Totally jelly(in a good way!) of all the nerd dudes I saw at the theater with their girlfriends. I am so so so glad this movie is connecting with little ones. I think because the landscape has been...

    How well does the new movie have to do?

    Of all the European comics, Tin Tin always really ignited my imagination as a kid. I never got Asterix or the other stuff...maybe lost in translation. But Tin Tin...when Lisa looks through a collected Tin Tin comic book in the "Coolsville "episode a few Simpsons seasons ago, thats how my...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Not really. The only real canon is what Muppets say in interviews, and even then sometimes they're just joking around. But in the Muppets.com exclusive videos, Gonzo talks about his life in the 1970's and trying to break into the biz. The Muppets continually tell interviewers that what happens...

    Muppet Interactive Game on Disney Fantasy cruise ship

    Wasn't there a Muppet cruise a few years back with live shows throughout the weekend? That's so cool they're filming new skits, though Im guessing these will be on screen exclusively for cruise ship patrons while alternate performers perform the actual puppets for live segments? I always had a...
