Exactly! Video games and sports are no more "immature" than puppets. They are all some of the first things that grab children's attention, and somehow puppets don't ordinarily continue to carry that attention throughout a person's life. :smirk:

Oh good! You have been getting my little gifts. ;) Naw, I've never really had a secret admirer who gave me stuff (mine were always the cheap type). I had a good friend who liked puppets a lot who moved to Pennsylvania and we developed a Penn-pal :o relationship, but it stopped somehow...

It's like I always say, "It's not easy bein' Green." Also, I would like to add that -- as someone who would be pegged "religious" myself -- I'm sensing some negative connotations toward the word around here and would appreciate a little sensitivity. :halo: Thanks guys! Now back to...

Hey, imdb has updated the cast list for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The kid who is playing Charlie was in Brian Henson's "Jack".

You know, it's amazing. You are 100% wrong. I mean nothing you've said has been right! Oh yeah? Well how about this-- I hate to be rude, but we're trying to do a movie here. Oh yeah? I didn't know. Gee, I'm sorry. Say, one thing there, son: would you like to buy a watch? Uh...

I'll be praying for you guys too. I hope your family gets closer during this time!

In the arts you'll find that the word "best" really doesn't apply to much at all because you have to be innovative and constantly testing whatever you think is "best" to improve it. Puppetry is a learning process -- even Frank Oz has said, "I can give you a lot of horse pucky about it, but the...

The rubber band method really is one of the cheapest ways to go. The annoying stripe is one factor that contributes to this, but the major problem is that the band becomes a leash or "middle-man (or woman :attitude: )". The rod needs to be connected directly to the arm for maximum mobility...

Welcome to MC! I hope you enjoy our little family very much and that you will never get caught up in any big arguments :halo: "What makes the best armrod" is a vary subjective question, and the answer will very according to your purposes for the puppet. From what I've gathered on these...

I just got back from Disneyland and I saw them there and was quite impressed by them. The one in this photo doesn't look as good as I remember them in the... er, plush.

Wow... make that $2.50 US ;)

I am totally in agreement with you, Dash. I have very strong feelings about the proper use of CGI. I have no problem with completely animated features -- I applaud Shrek and Monsters Inc., but in live action films I think it should be used only when all else fails -- not as a substitute for a...

Actually, a lot of the characters in Shrek are meant to poke fun at Disney classics, so they actually parody Disney rather than copy them. Plus, it's healthy for Disney to have some competitiion in the CGI film medium -- that corporate monster needs something to tie it down :rolleyes...

So, what is the first thing Disney does with its newly aquired Muppets? It stops the release of TMS on DVD because of greedy, grubbing copyright issues! Good job, schmucks!

I voted! Do I get a sticker? I wondered since you're planning to sell the BT series eventually, are you putting any music in it? If you are, how are you creating your own and how? Some friends of mine from high school made a short film with LOADS of copyrighted stuff in it, so as proud as...

That reminds me -- can I have a million dollars?

Super, dude! That lego puppet sounds really interesting. Was it built entirely out of lego pieces -- no other materials involved? Do you have a picture? Good luck with the future of Bear Town!

I just got back from Anchorman, and that is so definitely my genre!!! I recommend going to the theatre 20 minutes late to skip the unecessary inuendo stuff -- all that happens is Burgandy has a fling with a woman who is challenging his position as head anchor. The movie is like a new Monty...

Oh? I didn't know Monica was a Republican... I'm not going to say a lot of things on this board because I don't like arguing my facts against opinions ;) but I do find it ironic that with the passing of President Reagan, we've been remembering what a great President he was for the very...
