    Art Vs Craft, Pricing & the Whathaveyou

    I haven't had any caffeine yet this morning so hopefully this will make sense. It's something that always comes up among "aspiring" screenwriters. The question is always asked, "Do I have to be in Los Angeles to be successful as a screenwriter?" And the answer is yes. And no. Obviously...

    Anyone else besides me having time trouble?

    Now the time is right but the date is February 7th, 2009. Which is kinda cool because the Cubs won the 2008 World Series. And the new president is... Oh wait. Can't post political stuff here.

    Anyone else besides me having time trouble?

    Mine says it's 8:38, May 12th, 1974. That's not right, is it?

    Copyrighting puppets

    Puppetron, I just sent you a private message about this. Edited to add: I just read this thread all the way through. Probably should have done that before sending the private message. Now I've sent you three private messages. It's kinda funny, actually.

    The Writer's Strike

    "The Muppet Show" was originally a syndicated television show. It has never appeared on American network television in primetime. That was a different, higher pay tier for all the performers, especially the guest stars. No one was paid Network Primetime scale for the show. It's a union...

    What If...

    I'd ask, "Um, are you working for Disney now? Did you buy the Muppets back? Again? Can't you make up your mind? Muppets or no Muppets?" Then I'd call Beatrice back in the office, insist that she bring me three bottles of off brand fizzie water and an order of gnocchi with pesto sauce from...

    The Writer's Strike

    It would probably be easier to settle with the writers than negotiate music and all the rights to run "The Muppet Show" during network prime time. The only show I can think of with worse music rights problems is "WKRP in Cincinnati". "Hold my order, terrible dresser."?

    Scott Foam - White vs Black

    I had some black for a little while. Used dressmaker chalk. But I often had to go over the line twice. I've gone back to white. I guess what the say isn't true.

    CGI Overusage?

    Whenever the "CGI: Is it Evil?" argument comes up, this is my point of view: Two of the best animated films in the last 10 years (I think) are "The Incredibles" (cutting edge technology) and "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" (though probably put together on a computer, still some of the...

    What are the ears going to look like and how do you want them to move?

    A question about mics

    Take a look at ebay. As for which mike is best... I've played with a couple of bands that have used only Shure mics (I played harmonica and used the Green Bullet, which was fantastic). I know a few sound guys from movies who won't use anything but Sennheiser mics. The only brand to use is...

    Wow! Am I the Only one Who Saw Kermit on ESPN?

    Kermit was on ESPN this morning. "NFL Countdown" did a bit about how badly the Jets and Eagles are doing. Since they both have green uniforms, Kermit did the story. He started out talking singing "Bein' Green" then went on to say that maybe they weren't doing well because of the green or...

    What I'm Doing Tonight

    It was really amazing. But I'll start at the beginning. You know what I said about it being sold out? It was. But I got there early enough that I was near the top of the waiting list and got a seat in the first row. They performed parts of two different plays. The detailed...

    Observation about Frank

    Think about how nutty Muppet fans can get and then factor in the Star Wars fans.

    Chicago Puppetry

    Remember what I said about making sure there wouldn't be a Cubs playoff game if you go see "Felt"? Yeah, never mind that now. 100 # years!
