For whatever reason, yesterday I just thought of some sort of "National Treasure for little kids" concept putting Grover at the helm. :super: No idea if that would work in reality though.

So true. To think in high school I actually tricked myself into thinking I had a future in theater. Little Shop basically cut that off for me. :o Granted, I did come back that next school year to do the shows and got much better roles (it was my senior year after all), but that was more because...

It didn't help that what lead to the puppetry club was my high school's production of Little Shop of Horrors that year. The director more or less implied I'd be the body of the plant and then when the cast list came out she gave it to one of the more popular/director's-favorites kids. I was...

Since you probably don't hang out on the Puppetry forums, you probably don't know about the time I attempted to start a puppetry club in high school. It got the attention of the school's then popular ***** who acted like she was "interested" in the club and later got all her friends involved in...

That's why I didn't date in high school. Being nearly obsessed with SpongeBob was A-OK, Muppets? You've got to be insane! :sigh: I was watching The Day The Music Died with this guy once and he thought Wembley said "Jigaboo" instead of "Gee, Gobo." Wait... :coy: Anyway, I got a friend's younger...

Great news! There's a chance that a certain obnoxious farting, wise-cracking rodent won't steal that much thunder from the Muppets after all! This weekend's box office estimates have Alvin have it opening around $25 million, a tad below The Muppets' 3-day Thanksgiving weekend. Granted, The...

I plan on doing a review of it as part of my Rewind Reviews series at some point, but I will say, despite it's flaws, it's at least the best of the three Jim Henson Pictures movies. Truth be told, Elmo is a lot easier to put up with in this than he is in episodes from this point in Sesame...

The Muppets' Wizard of Oz DVD is an extended cut. Just throwing it out there.

I got an e-mail from Amazon this morning saying that DVD's and Blu-rays are up for pre-order! We have four different versions of the movie available it seems. The "Wocka Wocka" Value Pack with the DVD, Blu-ray, digital copy and a download card for the soundtrack...

This is terrific! What was this made for? NBC.com I assume or this something from one of Disney's websites.

That's exactly my point! People shouldn't be bringing their younger kids to see Rango when everyone was saying they shouldn't! I was probably the only person in that theater who didn't have a kid over the age of 7. It was craziness, I'll tell you that. The parents didn't even try to do anything...

The second time I saw the movie, I went to this really terrible theater that my dad loves going to. I went to go see Rango there months ago and had the single worst movie experience I've ever had. It seems in that town little kids have a really hard time sitting through a movie. Rango I had to...

Just read through the comments on Jim Hill's article, aside from one specific recurring comment, I couldn't help but chuckle at the silliness some of these people are blabbering about. The one recurring comment I noticed is that teenagers want nothing to do with this movie. Based on what I've...

It's not comic book movies I have problems with. Strictly speaking superhero movies, the Spider-Man trilogy, Burton and Nolan Batman movies and the Marvel Studios films work because they are good movies. As someone who isn't interested in reading comics, they are entertaining popcorn movies that...

I remember Jim Hill continually writing off Ratatouille a few years ago as a complete flop just because it didn't open as high as other Pixar films. And using The Simpsons Movie's opening weekend to say "Audiences are getting interested in 2D animation again!" and people are growing sick of 3D...

I'd assume so. The puppet's already built and is a recognizable character now and Peter Linz will more than likely already be puppeteering in a potential special, I don't see why Walter shouldn't show up - even if it's just a cameo.

I got dragged to it by someone who was insistent that it was going to be amazing despite the extreme negative reviews (I wanted to see X-Men: First Class which he insisted was garbage because he hasn't seen the other X-Men movies :rolleyes:), I absolutely hated it. I can't think of any movie...

Still looking for Things That I Remember.

Persona, the Ingmar Bergman film. We had to watch it in film class a couple weeks ago. I had no idea what the heck was going on until the very final scenes. :confused:

I'm glad that Disney still sees this movie as a success even if it's not doing that well at the box office. At least we won't have to see a farting, wisecracking CG photorealistic frog Kermit voiced by Ryan Reynolds (that way he could completely destroy two green pop culture icons). Bring on...
