Just watched "Waking Sleeping Beauty" and have a new appreciation for just how horrible Eisner and Katzenberg really were. I suggest anyone who loves classic Disney animation should rent this film.

"Bee Movie" was considered a flop as it fell short of making back its budget domestically by 24 million dollars. What an absolutely terrible film that was. I enjoyed "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Kung Fu Panda". Actually, those two visually blew me away more than any recent Pixar film...

Instant gratification culture. Kids want to see a particular character...and right now...or they'll switch on their ipod or PSP and jack back into the matrix. ;) I'm with you. Random is much more fun. Why can't they do both?

Hi. :) I don't mean to single you out specifically in this (just making sure you know that) and I certainly get and support where you're coming from, but remain unmoved by this same message echoed my 36 years on this planet. I grew up studying the Christian theology in church, choir, family...

Seems like this is Deadly since we know he's in it. The real question is...will there be Mildred in 2011?:eek:

I've heard mumblings about many products being timed to launch with the movie, but i don't know if these would be counted among them. I expect the push to start this summer.

I don't know why it is, but I don't know why it wouldn't be either. It's the age-old "glass half full/empty" debate. I prefer the former and my life experiences seem to support it. That's not to say everyone I've met is good, of course. Possibly it's because I have a cold and haven't been as...

It's entirely possible they could convert the movie to 3D after filming, but i don't think that's the direction they're heading. It would water down interest in the MuppetVision attraction and themepark business is very important to Disney. They just reformatted MuppetVision too. But hey, if it...

Religion is one of the excuses people use to discriminate. It seems to be one of the largest reasons, but it's certainly not the only one. Prejudice is also rooted in personal discomfort with the foreign and the unknown. Human nature is imperfect, but I do believe that most people want to do...

I truly think that most of the time people use religion as a shield for personal prejudice. Many parents use religion as an excuse for kicking their gay children out on the streets because they feel some sort of personal failure when the only real failure is the rejection of their own children...

I guess most religions have the Golden Rule at their root, but this is often perverted by some followers who figure out a way to justify the opposite sentiment. IMHO that has nothing to do with spirituality and more to do with human nature. Here are some stats that I've finally got around to...

I see what both of you are saying. Personally, I see this as a simplistic framework that basically reflects the Muppet franchise falling into disrepair and most everyone has forgotten the magic they had. The reason doesn't have to be a clear one, but we all take our own guesses to the table. I...

I'm kind of with you on that, however I keep hearing good things about Joan's recent documentary. How can I not love Kathy too? :flirt: Some folk are concerned about the growing number of cameos and wonder just how many Muppets they'll still be able to squeeze into this Muppet movie. That's...

Quite nice. The last one with Big Bird is my fave. :wisdom:

been busy :busy:

Adam West was not only raring to go for "the" Batman movie, he actually submitted a movie treatment, which was not accepted. I remember him discussing that, and that he was frustrated at not getting the chance. He deserved it. In the Adam West scenario, Batman is insane, and lives in the...

There were two suits. The one at the beginning of the film is the classic Batman suit and cowl that looks striking in a graphic novel, but greatly limited the neck mobility. The controversy was in dethatching the mask from the cape that provided such neck mobility in the second suit he wore...

Really? I liked him in the suit, but the jawline is a little off. His forced Batman voice was ridiculous. I hope they lose that next outing.

Chaos is his motivation. The Dark Knight posed the question of how to fight terrorism when the world has nothing the terrorist wants except for fear. I get what you're saying, but I think that's far more interesting than just another cheesed-off gangster stereotype. Comic books have always tried...

I just watched this again and enjoyed it with even more perspective. Tim Burton actually takes pride in the fact that he doesn't read comic books and did very little actual reading during his research for Batman. One only need look at his Willy Wonka, Planet of the Apes or Alice in...
