The Bond films were actually good. Even the worst of the Bond films have a perpetual shelf life. MGM just can't get it together enough to make a film guaranteed to rake in money. I kind of have this feeling that Disney wanted to dump Mirimax in order to buy MGM's catalog and rights. Just a wild...

Oooh, wow! What are you using to build this? :concern:

I give you the back burner... These are the several projects we know about that have been on the backburner due to del Toro landing the Hobbit and having it eat up his time while MGM gets its mess sorted. These are the exciting projects he is likely to be returning, but these tentative...

DelToro has quit the Hobbit after doing every bit of preproduction he could manage from design to animatics. No film has been more ready-to-go than the Hobbit, but MGM holds a significant portion of the rights and is having trouble and they won't sign off the rights to anyone else. They even...

It's difficult to find those pictures. My advice would be to track down a classic Miss Piggy Calendar from the 80's and scan the centerfold poster inside. The puppet hasn't looked great since the early 80's when those calendar's were cool. Just a thought. A few scanning notes just in...

Age ain't nothin' but a number... Oh, ye ancient thread. But this one is interesting. Fan's know that there's a Muppet Bible/Rule Book out there for writers to use as guidelines for the beloved characters. Nobody really knows what's in it, but I have a few thoughts about it and believe that...

For some reason I thought there was a full-scale Piggy cut out as well, but maybe not. She did have her own signature lines of things in the 80s, a perfume in the 90s and that Diva Code book could have had a cutout of the cover. Here's a low res sheet of full-bodied Piggy images that you...

I'm glad they included the collar. A closer look at Kermit confirms, that while beautifully crafted, it's not for me, but I'm glad this is out there! The collar point count, pupil focus and shape aren't quite nailed for my geekdom. If they tweaked these dolls a little bit I'd be on board, but...

Both parties have had their problems and gross lack of competence. I have strong feelings about each administration since Carter. With congress it's about who gets what credit instead of actually improving the lives of individuals. That’s what creates stalemates no matter who is in office...

(streamers etc) Congratulations! I'm guessing this is a serious thread and not just a flirty one. Love can spring from unlikely places and non traditional meetings. Marriage shouldn't be taken lightly, of course so I hope you guys can find some time to meet and cultivate a lasting personal...

It's funny, yet it left me wanting more. That's the point I guess. Great vid. :attitude:

Agreed. What excites me the most about Kermit right now is the screenwriters expressing a particular joy about writing for the frog. I think we're getting some fresh material in a classic voice. All this with Steve's direction under the frog. I love it!

I just noticed that all of the classic Muppet film posters are available through one particular seller on Amazon. I've never used them before, but ordered one to note the quality and post about it here. So much new Muppet stuff is coming out, but little of it matches the quality of these...

I hear Karen Prell sleeps in her Fraggle hat, that Steve Whitmire is afraid of soda pop and that Bill Barretta got third place in a cocktail shrimp eating contest! (But you didn't hear it from me.) ;)

I get what you're saying. Very little of that is actually in Flash because that program wouldn't allow for enough nuance on a larger scale. But they're definitely after that look. I think the E-Surance commercials used to be done in Flash. Usually one can tell by the consistent line width in the...

I'm a Flash artist and don't really see this as a Flash animation. Plus, there's no magic feature for in between drawings. There are tweens for small shape motions and ways to create sections in a form to puppeteer it, but Flash animation is pretty much a traditional animation technique. Also...

This still photo looks good. It doesn't look like computer animation with "toon shaders" to me. It looks like hand drawn animation inked and painted by computers to give it a clean but classic look. I hope that's what they mean. I'm liking this. Let's see if the actual animation quality and...

I don't really notice that either, but I've never really done the fan fic, games or dorms. Maybe it's different over there. I just don't see why we can't all get along equally, but I suppose that's the way of the world. Some feel more deserving of others or that giving equal footing to some...

Hehe. Yeah, I agree that Butler isn't quite A-list, but I do like him. Only Steve Carell is still an A-lister of those mentioned and it seems that this new move will get A-listers. Yes, the Golden Age of the Muppets is over, but there are other precious metals that can be applied to this new...

I agree with Luke. Problems here are not unlike many other forums, but Muppet fans are rather diverse. I've personally had a lot of problems with several key religious members who can be overly forceful and condescending in voicing their opinions. For some reason their views are perceived as...
