Jim Henson definitely had a dark side or rather he knew the world was not made up of only smiles and roses. He was one smart cookie:insatiable: The Muppet Show was not only violent but, it was full of stereotypes. I believe Jim was a bohemian in the best sense of the word. He was always...

Rowlf - hands down! He is the first Muppet born and thereby has seniority. He's also the embodiment of Jim Henson. Not to mention his piano playing always makes my day.:sympathy:

A script is generally 120 pages long... He is halfway there. Stallone wrote Rocky in 3 nights or something crazy like that. If the ideas and dialogue are flowing it can be written in no time. It's the pre-production, shooting, and post that takes so much time and yes, sometimes the script...

I work as an architect/designer and know & mingle with a lot folks in the entertainment industry. I also love the movies and try and keep up on the industry.

The running gag in some Muppet movies was that, during a scene where several characters were excitedly talking at once, and someone called for silence, Janice would be the last one still talking, on a topic with no apparent connection to the situation. In GMC she says: "Look, Mother. It's my...

It depends on the film. I believe they just started shooting so I would guess a couple of months for Segal on this one as he is "Acting" only - not writing or directing. If they already have 50 pages of the muppet script it means they are into the project. I think he will be finding time to...

I'm not surprised there is no more news as of late. They are 50 pages into the script (says Segal) and they are shooting "I Love You, Man" right around the corner from me now... I should dress up like my favorite muppet and run through the set - har har.

That is such wonderful sentiment Ry Guy - and glad you are here. Fairfax VA aye - I'm originally from Roanoke - now a Hollywood guy. Great to see VA in the house!:flirt:

Why is everyone so hung up on sex? It's a reality, talking/joking about it is fun! Closeting, hiding and supressing sex is so 50's...

Yes D'Snowth you are right in thinking that Frank Oz should be a part of it. Also, I would note that he really doesn't have any projects as of late so he may actually be looking for something to do...

ala Miss Piggy a failed Hollywood star maybe?

"Muppet Studios" aka The Jim Henson Company on La Brea looks like this today:

In the article he is talking about shooting in LA on the Jim Henson Company Lot. It's the old Charlie Chaplin "Studios" on LaBrea... This is what he is referring to as Muppet Studios. http://www.cobbles.com/simpp_archive/charlie-chaplin-studio.htm

I happily agree with all those points Frogboy. I do like the site and I think you are right - it is just a start. I suppose I am looking thru the jaded eyes of someone who has been in marketing and business for a lifetime now. I look at these things thru Hollywood business eyes but, when I...

While I love the new material and look of the site I would have to agree with you. The site is somewhat useless and not interactive. How many times can you log-on to see the same skits? In the marketing world this effort wouldn't really register.

Well, they definitely want all of the old/original muppet performers back (check out the last paragraph)... http://www.cinematical.com/2008/04/14/interview-with-nicholas-stoller-director-of-forgetting-sarah-m/

Well then, I just won't post what I know of Piggy's new performance ... All I said was fluff and disagreed... I understand though - I'm a strong, opinionated character... It's a compliment! Thanks alot!

Frank didn't want anything to do with it because as obvious the muppet crap they were doing was a piece of crap - give him some credit as a true artist!

Frank Oz - yes, He was the muppets and could get them all in line via bullwhips and such...

Yay Vic! Shout it out - these are good days!
