    Can the musical "Hairspray" bring back Muppet Movies?

    Chicago was a biggee... Sweeney Todd is coming up... I heard a rumor that Jersey Boys may get the big-screen treatment... I'm hoping for a restored Little Shop of Horrors... Why not a big-screen musical Muppet movie?

    A lesson to be learned! A crowd to stay away from!

    Wow. I applaud you, BeakerSqueedom for doing the right thing!:) And the group spreading rumors about you shows just how childish they are. The fact that "what's not true can't hurt you," shows how mature you are, that you don't strike back at them, and resort to juvenile rumors. Bravo!:D

    2.35:1?

    Here's a quick rundown of the most common aspect ratios: 1.33:1 - this was the OAR of silent films and early talkies, used until 1932. It is also the standard for most television programs, past and present, as 4:3. 1.37:1 - known as "Academy Ratio," it debuted in 1932, and was the standard...

    Pussycat was Beatty's project from the start. He was going to play Michael and--get this--he wanted Groucho Marx for Dr. Fassbinder! Woody Allen was the reason Beatty ultimately didn't do the film. This was Allen's first produced screenplay, and the nightclub comic saw it as his shot at the...

    I like some of Tom's stuff, such as What's New, Pussycat? Green, Green Grass of Home Delilah She's a Lady I Who Have Nothing Thunderball (one of the best Bond themes, IMO) BTW, did you know Pussycat was originally written for Warren Beatty? In fact, the title of the film is the phrase...

    2.35:1?

    The actual aspect ratio today (well, since 1970) is 2.40 (or, if you want to be more specific, 2.39:1). This is 35 mm anamorphic, and approximates the full theatrical image, so you're gaining more picture, despite the smaller size, compared to say, a picture shot in 1.85:1. 2.35:1 was called...
