I don't think Lucas' arm can be twisted very easily in my opinion. He's still stubborn enough where he won't release the original 3 Star Wars films the way they were originally shown in theaters in the late 70's because he claims "it wasn't the film he wanted to do at the time". Which I get from...

I think because running a fan event is very expensive to do if the fans are doing it on their own. The Rocky Horror Picture Show fans have conventions all year around in various locations in the U.S. and in London but its' all from the individual organizers' pockets. They don't get any financial...

Oh, of course, who wouldn't be?

I told you, Dr. Tooth, it has to be one of two things: the music rights or George Lucas' company holding things up due to the Star Wars episode. I know Lucas and Henson were friends but business and legal matters are another thing entirely. I agree the wait for this has been frustrating and...

I'd be all for a Muppet themed convention especially since I didn't make it to the official one years back. But unfortunately, conventions cost a LOT of money, and I'm not sure if they would be able to drum up enough business for it to be an all out success. And plus it would mean getting Disney...

It was many years back (I want to say early 90s) when NY Newsday posted an interview with him in their "Kidsday" section. They did an interview with Brian and Frank Oz.

Totally agree! That's why the two satellite companies merged, and it's kind of suffering because of it.

The only reason I "pony" up the money is because without it I'm not really getting T.V. at all, and there's some great cable shows on now I'm thoroughly enjoying and want to see in first run airings. I despise the FCC and their retarded rules. They have essentially ruined satellite radio...

I agree, if you're going to be a Henson/Muppet fan site you should include OTHER Henson works especially if they're being recognized in the media somewhere. I'll be honest, aside from Muppet and Sesame stuff, the only non regular character project I've liked under the Henson umbrella is Bear in...

Marc's show is a lot of fun. He's a local guy from where I'm from (Long Island, NY) he has a pet store that specializes in exotic birds, etc. He started off with a local cable show about pets and pet care. Great to see he's expanded and now is working with Muppets too!

Just a polite suggestion, but we're probably better off waiting until the end of summer, or even September, because by then, the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, NY will be holding special events in conjunction with the Jim Henson touring exhibit, and the articles online state they'll be...

No you can only order the puppets as a whole, not separate parts/features.

Thankfully though, despite TV turning into a graveyard, there have been a couple of shows in the past year or so that have renewed my faith and I watch very little new T.V. shows these days. Both "Hot in Cleveland" on TV LAND and "Louie" on F/X have renewed my faith that there is still SOME...

I haven't seen any new episodes in their entirety from the current season and the past few, unfortunately, however, I gotta say I am always very proud and happy to hear when Sesame is nominated for and wins so many Emmys every year. It's still the best children's show on television in my...

You're welcome to you and Yorick. :)

Wasn't sure if this was posted elsewhere on the forum or not: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/labyrinth-dark-crystal-be-relaunched-180692

Garfield to this day is still one of my favorite cartoon characters. I have some of his specials on DVD and VHS, he was the first cartoon character I learned to draw, and Jim Davis actually before Jim Henson was my inspiration for getting into art, and drawing, etc.I had the pleasure of meeting...

Good for you for intimidating the girl at the movies. That stuff drives me crazy. Unless you're a doctor on call, saving someone's life, there is no reason to be sitting in a movie theater, that you and everyone else paid anywhere from $7-20 bucks to get in to text and chat and Twitter and all...

I understand what you're saying, but like the poster below ya said home video has the potential to make the studio a lot of it's money back. Look how many movies in general have bombed their first run in theaters but made tons of money on DVD. I totally want to support the Muppets but if I have...

I was unfamiliar with your Bolt story, Dr. Tooth...but your description is a big reason why I don't like to go see any animated/family films anymore in the theater, and I may actually wait for the Muppet film to come on DVD unless I manage to go to a perhaps later weeknight screening or something.
