    Speculation: Fan Ideas for Future Muppet Movies

    I still don't see why "Cheapest Muppet Movie" needs to be a thing. Seems that there was a reason the project was abandoned, and even though it's merely an educated guess, it's that the gimmick would only go about 10 minutes before the joke ran out and became tedious. I'm sure there are...

    Your Thoughts: The Street We Live On

    I usually go on rants about how Sesame Street fans always feel so butthurt that the show isn't exactly the same as it was when they were a kid, grew out of it, hated on it because they were "cool," and then somehow jumped back into for nostalgia sake. They'll always whine that some specific...

    Old Nickelodeon

    Love how Drake's Spider-Man and Josh is Casey Jones. Anyway, I really don't like The Splat's new line up. CatDog is out, they put Rocket Power on a daily slot (again, do not see why that qualifies, since even Spongebob is its elder), and they still cycle through the same cluster of Hey...

    X-Men Apocalypse

    Yeah, but they had different actors as Magneto and Professor X when they were younger. I could see them using a younger actor for Wolverine if they wanted to do another period piece X-Men film.

    Your Thoughts: The Street We Live On

    I give this special credit for trying, and in the end it's actually the last anniversary special (unless you count "What's the Name of that Song" which was released concurrently). I'm very disappointed the 40th special was a prime time showing of the first episode of that season (which never...

    When you need to rant...

    I agree, but don't much think that's the case with that specific genre. It affects the crap out of every other genre which gets to the "all new music is rubbish" rant, but I really don't know how to explain this music genre. It pretty much has me baffled. Folk is the only thing I can make the...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Saw the movie yesterday, and by all means a striking improvement over the first one. Seems they took some of the criticism to heart and fixed most of the problems with the last film, and made a much more Turtle-Fan friendly film where the Turtles are actually involved (for the most part) in...

    The Steven Universe thread

    The Rubies back in "The Answer" were much more like-minded and identical. Glad that they've ditched that to make them all slightly different right down to their subtle shades of red difference. Also liked how they were pretty...dumb. Not to mention the subtext of Peridot being considered...

    The Clarence thread

    This episode really felt like the spiritual apology for the Hey Arnold "Arnold Betrays Iggy" episode. Clarence could have got into some pretty mean territory, but the ending was so incredibly sweet and well done. Everything that Hey Arnold episode should have done at the ending but didn't...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Tangled was a case of trying to make a "girly" sounding film more appealing to little boys. Considering the marketing of the film, I find that was a big mistake, since they made all the trailers come off as a late to the party Shrek knockoff. The film originally had a title to the extent of...

    X-Men Apocalypse

    Nah. They'll probably just recast Wolverine with someone younger than Jackman. Kinda wish he'd cameo in the next Deadpool, though. made enough jokes about him in that film.

    Commercial rant time...

    To be perfectly honest, I'm ambivalent about Flo. The actress has talent. I've seen her on Mad Men. She was even good in Two Broke Girls. She just doesn't seem to do much but be Flo. I HATE Jamie, though. If that character was a rebuttal to FLo being deemed obnoxious, then yeah...he works...

    When you need to rant...

    Totally agree about matter of taste not equaling quality. That banjo-y, ukelely ridden stuff does have its fans and that's okay. I just really hate that genre. I can't say I'm a huge fan of folk music, but I respect it. My dad listened to Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seager all the time. It sounds...

    X-Men Apocalypse

    While I would have probably seen it had it not been for Angry Birds the previous week and TMNT 2 this week, the fact that the one mutant I wanted to see in the movie's scenes got mostly cut kinda ticked me off. As a fan of the 90's X-men cartoon, I was kinda excited Jubilee was part of the...

    I'm mixed about it. That sort of thing should spread memetic popularity, but in the end, that's what's wrong with any Muppet fandom outside of the inner sanctum. They love the characters enough to buy a T-shirt every so often, maybe pick up Christmas ornaments or Funko Pops or whatever. Maybe...

    Commercial rant time...

    The thing that really disgusts me about the Progressive ads is that...well, first of all it adds a level of fridge horror that the only reason Flo's so perky and happy is because her family is so verbally abusive to each other that she puts on a brave face so no one realizes how incredibly...

    The Facepalm and/or Headdesk Thread

    I'm personally headdesking more that Shadowhunters is a TV series (on the least surprising of networks) when "The Mortal Instruments" flopped as a movie. Of course I saw the Midnight Screenings review of the film (for background noise working on something), and it sounds terrible. How much of...

    Commercial rant time...

    On the subject of Progressive ads, they made another in their worst series of ads. The one with Flo's family being absolutely horrible people and Flo being the unfavorite, even though she's the only one who isn't a trainwreck. I really hate these. They're disgustingly depressing. Her...

    Spammers at MC...

    I just checked out the forum's "Today's Birthdays" side bar and all of them minus Dcyate (sp?) and some other person with an avatar are clearly Spambot names. Just a head's up that there's probably several up and coming spam posts.

    Which makes it all the more frustrating, actually. Tough Pigs posted a brilliant article about how frustrating it is to be a Muppet fansite runner when the last movie and TV show didn't garner enough interest. There's one line that hits the nail on the head... Yeah, they'll watch 2 minutes...
