I do hold "Lion King" in high esteem, but I also see what you're saying. Disney lifted a whole lot of the story from elsewhere at a time when such things couldn't be as easily checked on the internet. Also there were some rough patches that still annoy me to this day: I didn't like the...

My Take on the Muppet Central's "Improvements" This is what I've taken issue with for a long time at Muppet Central. I am here because of most of the lovely forum members and not because it's Muppet Central Forum. We have managed to cultivate a sense of community here regardless of who's...

Phillip decided long ago that he didn't want anyone to update the website with fresh content so even though my creative side is tempted - no more MC freebies from me. Sorry y'all, but Muppet Central has acted like a beastly sociopath in my creative life that takes far more than it gives! I had...

Go for it!! :)

Brand new sculpts!!! What an improvement too.

You're a classic member here and deserve a hi-res pic. :cool: I made all of those old ones for the mods back in my moderator days. This image was an old publicity shot with a white background. I just dropped a background behind it. If you're interested in changing your avatar - Rollover your...

By the way, if the forum still remains the same and things do improve on your webtv service, here is a freebie higher-res Fleet graphic for an avatar.

I agree. All of these improvements - the video embed, the image embed and these new bells and whistles were completely available and could have been implemented in the old vBulletin format that Muppet Central Forums successfully used for nearly a decade. I do like the quicker speed here, but...

Still hate it: Day One *On the main forum page, it tells you what sections have had latest updates, but there's no direct link to the latest update. We must sift through the thread = sloppy architecture! That little alert button, cute as it is, just doesn't cut it like the individual thread...

Can't you change the main site forum linkage on your side? I think you did that before. Visually this page is confusing, not merely because it's new, but the eye goes absolutely everywhere and it's harder to tell what info is from posts what's quote, what's signature and where the posts start...

Not quite sold on it yet. :smirk:

Muppet Designs Through The Years: Muppet Wiki The Muppets have had some wildly different designs through the years. The Muppet Wiki has done a nice job archiving some of them: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, Janice, Floyd, Zoot, Sam, Bunsen, Statler & Waldorf. Thoughts?

I guess this is a case of completely different tastes so I won't belabor my distaste for Bill's film projects too much. I was Cosby fan in the 80's, but I do think he lost touch. Most artists grow and evolve over time with at least some connection to present times. He didn't. Jim Henson always...

Gonzo has gone through so many changes, but I do like his look in the last film much better than this one. Here's a side-by-side comparison. After more inspection, many of these designs are little bit more watered-down than the stunningly beautiful puppet designs of the past. They still look...

You're right! I didn't realize Cosby wrote that steamy pile of cinematic crap. I've never taken him as the genius that others do. Fat Albert was always more of a niche program and Cosby's sitcom filled a void in American television at the right place and time. His film attempts have always been...

exactly my plan too! :)

Maybe they'll do a superhero themed parody one with Gonzo in his cape. :concern:

I'm probably gonna see it because I like movies, there's a theater in 90 seconds walking distance and I'll see almost anything. Looks more enjoyable than that monstrosity of an owl movie last year (saw that on a plane and wanted to jump out the window), but I'm not expecting much and I won't...

It's about what I expected. Hoped for something better, but these are okay. I like that the helmets come off. Might pick them up.

I'm beginning to agree with you. The shots of the village looked great. I'd like to explore that world. The ad has some fun puns in it, but they use the "I'm getting to old for this" cliche! This smacks of a movie made by committee.
