Wow, they have changed MySpace a lot since I've visited last! Love it or hate it, I don't think it's the new design is to blame for the slow speed. That's usually a server-side issue. However, it's probably being caused by the conversion. :wisdom: Personally, I'd rather these sites look...

Yeah, a lot would be gone. -The Opening Credits (that includes the Jim Henson name and various characters) -The Jim Henson Intro -Anything that calls to the second half of the episode unless it's another Muppet segment -The second segment (unless it's Muppets) I'm certain they can...

I'm a firm believer in honest, practical sex ed in schools to help curb disease and pregnancy. I'm also a firm believer in adoption. It's the most selfless choice by both parties. There are too many fertility clinics for selfish folk who think perpetuating their genes is more important than...

Exactly. I don't really know what the guidelines should be for this. There's no roadmap, just a patchy track record of licensed Muppet products. Quality doesn't insure sales and value doesn't really either. It's about what people want. I'll go back to the Palisades figures since they are the...

The culprit: Young adults who want to watch YouTube clips, post Facebook and Twitter updates on their internet phones. Everything seems to be getting reconfigured for the cell phone. Much of YouTube's initial restructuring a couple years back was due to the iphone's campaign against Flash...

Oooh! Looks like half my toy collection going extreme! Great stuff. Can't wait to see more. :super:

This is all water under the bridge for the Muppets, but I will again state that it was a noble freshman (in-public) effort Artie put in as the head frog. That sort of thing takes a lot of practice. Artie's tonality of voice is closer to Jim's Kermit than Steve's, but Steve has the better...

Very good topic. When I was a kid, nothing sent more paralyzing fear into me than to be shouted at in public. I definitely think that should be avoided unless a child is completely out of control. Groundings, removing phone and electronics privileges are practical solutions. Sometimes a...

This is great, but to be very picky The piece is fun and shot beautifully. Most of the puppeteering looks good to me. I won't call out some of the performances that seem not-so-strong, of course. But even those are obviously from working professionals. :attitude: The band choice makes sense...

No prob. Just took a second. I'm used to deciphering the pricing for items for customers in the Action Figure Freddy toyshop. People always remark about the expense of Vanishing Cream Beaker. Ebay prices ncan skew really high, but they do have great deals sometimes if you have patience...and...

That recent interview Brian Henson gave about Stuffed and Unstrung seems to reflect more of a connection with traditional puppetry. H'e been such a supporter of performance capture puppetry in the past. Rygel was always a practical effect in Farscape so I'm expecting some traditional methods in...

I don't have any for sale, but here's an approximate Palisades Fozzie price guide for these figures to help in your search. In my experience - these are the fair prices you should expect to pay and why. Many of these can be found on Amazon at or around these prices. Steppin' Out Fozzie -...

The first DC didn't involve any human people, only puppeteers and trained technicians in puppeted costumes so there won't likely be any extras. However, they did have a "little person" for a few key wide shots. I believe that Farscape was shot in Sydney and POTC is reportedly using the same team...

Oooh! Interesting. It makes me happy to see that Disney is apparently playing friendly with Henson Co for this. Let's hope it leads to other things.

Chilly 57 degrees here. :o

I suspected the delay to be due to the notes process. If only they could lock all those execs together in one room and withhold bathroom privileges until they all agree...:coy:

Ooooh! Popping over to read it. You totally made my morning! :super:

"It's Pat" only made $60,000 at the box office! Eeek!

Hehe. Thanks. IMHO if they were to do a series two and include Miss Piggy in the mix, the other 3 in the lineup should be Beaker, Pepe and the Swedish Chef. They're all popular characters Disney is promoting and they're best translated into this style. I mean, think of :hungry: as a pook! Little...

My Facebook Meeting Last March I've never understood the need for internet meet-ups. I march to my own drum and people seem to respond to it. However, post break-up, one of my ex's dates found me on Facebook and used the "poke" feature. (That's a feature just to say hi to another FB member.) I...
