I thought it was cute how the future Gorg group ended up getting some assistance from Richard at their audition. They must have been wondering before then if he liked them, considering his respond to Gord a few minutes before! ;)

Well I do agree with that; I do think the classic projects have been neglected for newer projects that have not delivered. While I sometimes wish Frank Oz was more involved now, I do understand his decision and respect his desire to reach beyond what was safe and explore a new career. It seems...

I'm really sorry, that must be so frustrating. Hang in there!

You know I did think that intially and I still do to a certain extent. Entertainment media can't solve all the world's problems. But I do think the landscape of our society used to be brighter, our pop culture used to give the impression we cared. Now it's much darker and I think that does make...

Happy B day, always nice talking! :)

I think you make a good argument, RyGuy! Still, perhaps is doing those things somewhere else. ;)

You can also see it in the documentary The World of Jim Henson. :)

Lol, yeah that about sums it up! :concern:

Absolutely! I mean, one is tempted to say "You can't go home again." I know I often am! But then again, we have to admit, that CEO of Disney in the '90s did manage to make Disney rise again after years of virtual silence. ;) So it's not entirely out of the question. I just think fans disagree on...

I just think that's not what's happened in the case of the Muppets. One has not helped the other. I have read it, thanks it definitely says a lot. I love that Jim was so far seeing with computer animation. It's sad in a way that his early contributions to the field are not always remembered...

Well that's the big debate really among fans, hehe. Which is fine, nearly every big franchise has these never-really-resolved-debates that serve to keep the thing alive, hehe. For my part, I don't see perferring the past as "undaring", I just see it as recognizing the best work. But I won't...

This isn't exactly a movie, but was probably shown just before a movie around 1934. It was a cartoon version of the Hans Christian Anderson story The Brave Tin Soldier. A little toy soldier is teased for having only one leg. He falls in love with a Ballerina doll the toy King also has his eyes...

Oh yeah I don't mean it's wrong for kids to have imaginary friends. I think that's fine. It's just that I found the whole idea of Snuff actually being real but constantly missing the adults all the time seemed too much like an average kid's show. The kind of "parents just don't understand" logic...

Yeah I mean as it relates to Sesame Street, that's a reason I didn't object to Snuffy "becoming real." To me, having him be the "imaginary friend" of Big Bird that the grown ups never believed in came across too much like your typical kiddie fantasy show. Having the grown ups realize this is a...

I don't like to speculate on what another person would think or do. But I do get the impression he was disapointed in Henson Hour's cancellation since that was a big effort in his moving forward technology-wise. Perhaps he would have made another attempt in that area (which I admit I would have...

I actually read a very similar story from the daughter of The Professor from Gilligan's Island. He had a scene where a woman was flirting with him and the daughter thought she was trying to steal her Daddy away! This is a good example of how children think, which I think a lot of so called...

Well no that wouldn't help, hehe. Still, there's always next time! I was just watching the Linda Carter episode of the Muppet Show where everyone dresses up like super heroes. A couple things I noticed, there's the part where Lew Zealand tries to see through the stageroom door using X-ray...

Hey nice shot! Happy St. Valentine's Day!

That would explain a lot, wouldn't it? ;)

Well, sadly I had my phone on vibrate and went to bed early yesterday and so missed getting together with my friends today for "Anti Valentine's Day", waaa! Hehe, well the nice thing is that when I finally contacted them, they let me know how relieved they were I was OK. It's nice to have...
