    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    After seeing "Spidermonster" and a number of newer Sesame Street sketches, in my view Sesame Street is back with a vengeance...not just back, but funny on even a level a fan of SNL could enjoy(though I'll never accept Elmo as much as I love the craftmanship of Kevin Clash...crap, was Clash...

    The End Of What We Grew Up With As Kids

    @heralde: Yeah, sadly most Americans don't think about the Chinese, Vietnamese or Bandledeshi sweat shops where most their clothes, toys, etc is made. Often times, places where young women live and sleep in deplorable living quarters the few hours they have a respite from painstakingly making...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    It's hard to get to know Christ, or at least the concept of Christ with all the noise and chatter out there. To take the story as analog or simple allegory, Jesus of Nazarene sounds like an amazing person. Fundamentally I just feel modern North American Christiandom is so far removed from that...

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    Ha, let me rephrase that. As I totally agree with what you're saying. For one, nothing wrong with being in love with a certain time period. It's forever 1988 in my mind! And the new Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris is all about being in love with Europe in the 1920's. I just mean, I wish more...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    I love that youtube video. He's so right...how the heck can you bring people to know Christ by saying they're evil, wicked, going to ****. That's why the world laughs at Western Christianity, it's so far removed from not just early Christianity but even Eastern and European Christianity. Christ...

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    Well so far, the film looks way too silly/slick and goofy to be too much of a throwback to the more naturalistic, organic and real world setting of the first and third Muppet films. Least that's the tone from the trailers so far.

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    Noone I've seen on this thread...but it seems *some* fans are stuck in the late 70's/early 80's. They hate Pepe, they think the Muppets are dead and simply talk about the "good old days". Sure, the 90's/early to mid 2000's were a bit...off. But there's so good new material and the...

    The End Of What We Grew Up With As Kids

    MC poster DrTooth and I have long bandied about the notion of how so much of the stuff we grew up with in the 1980's and 1990's has been done away with. When old Sesame Street episodes have to come with a parental advisory warning, certain cereals done away with or all the creative/imaginative...

    Muppets, Muppets Everywhere (Interviews, News and Set Reports)

    Indeed beau...this is a very "meta-meta" film. My only real gripe is how saccarine and goofy some of the tone is with Jason and Amy...the first and third film were more or less set in the real world and felt believable. I worry this film may take on the tone of a goofy muppet special with too...

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    Oh man...you just blew my mind! Of course....each trailer is ENGINEERED to play to different audiences. I don't know why I didn't realize this. If this is attached to Cars 2, then it seems perfectly tailored to appeal to children who will be in droves to see Pixar's latest. The faith of the Diz...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    Well it occurs to me, most the causes "liberals" support(peace, helping the needy, social programs, environmentalism, etc) are extremely Christian if we're talking early Christ cult period(Christ cult, as in the time of the very early followers/pre Roman co-option of Christianity) I don't think...

    Funniest SS Skit In Ages: Spidermonster!

    Man I've been seriously missing out. Ya know, I kind of got used to the idea that Sesame Street had gotten elmo'fied, coddling and quite lame. And I'd catch Sesame Street on tv once in a great while, maybe pick up the dvds when they were on sale. But yeah, Sesame Street in the last couple...

    Also, if these GOP Republicans are really Christians, how come they never talk about environmental issues? All I hear is environmentalism is for the liberals, "climate change is a hoax". I mean just today "the oceans are dying"...

    We've seen what happens when abortion is illegal...if pro lifers think the pro choice option is grotesque...they should see what happens when a cottage black market/quasi black market industry springs up(such as the horrific incident discovered by cops in a West Philly raid last year) And fast...
