I have to agree with Tooth on this - one has little to do with the other. A Muppet film will not have near the cost of a Narnia film. The last picture cost $200 million dollars! A Muppet film usually costs well under $30 million. It's easier for Disney to gain a profit from the Muppets than...

I suppose that last post came off as a Bill O'Reilly sort of take on Sean Penn that I just don't buy. Penn can be irritating, but he is a Hollywood outsider that few people will work with due to his controversial nature. He's not the type of guy that even likes the Oscars so I doubt his decision...

I keep thinking that if it were possible to take VMX and LTS, stick them in a bag, shake it up and let the best moments of each rise to the top while leaving the rest out (i.e. the snarky tone vs vacuous story) that would make one frog of a Christmas special. I still liked both, but each is kind...

Tropic Thunder wasn't about stroking Ben Stiller's ego? I can't see why both Milk and Tropic Thunder can't be enjoyed. This Harvey Milk picture has taken nearly two decades to hit the screen and went through many different actors and directors. That is why such films are appreciated - for the...

Just seems like an inadequate excuse for poor screenwriting that wouldn't pass muster for any subject matter. There is a language to film and the Wachowski brothers know it. It could have been adapted for the screen in a way that could have pleased fans and moviegoers alike. I just found myself...

No need to be sorry - of course you're entitled to your opinion. I really wanted to like Speed Racer and gave it the chance most of my friends and the movie going public didn't. It is visually stunning, but I found the story, pacing and particularly the dialogue were beneath the fine cast. I...

What is your pick for favorite theatrical motion picture for 2008 and why? My pick: The Dark Knight Forget the Batman element for a minute; this picture was robust in so many different ways from the stellar performances to the masterful storytelling. No film came close to its quality in my...

It is an interesting idea, but Tim Burton leaves too firm a fingerprint on his films for his skills to serve the Muppets. I mean, this is the fellow that reinvented the Joker and Bruce Wayne characters far beyond what most lifelong Batman fans knew as sacred and admittedly stayed away from...

It appears that you favor the nostagia aspect over actual quality and I understand that. I just can't support that personally. Again...it's not about the scale, lack of texture or limited articulation. It's the likenesses that really bite on those. There's very little artistry that actually...

:) Happy New Year Manhattan Melodies 2009 Menu :flirt: There’s a purplish-blue backdrop of a starry night sky with a moon and a New York prop-like cityscape rises up in front of it. Magenta, blue and yellow confetti fall across the screen. Fireworks of the same colors burst in the background...

Barretta is the first choice that pops in my mind.

I'm glad it has gotten a good reaction. I still think that Disney could easily do a Kim Possible style cartoon show for Pigs in Space on the Disney Channel. But an actual puppet-Muppet movie would be better.

The only way I can see the set going for that little is if somebody opened it, ripped the DVDs and the resold it. Or maybe the set itself is about 60 bucks before markup? I can't imagine it would be that high.

My thoughts on the marriage of Kermit and Miss Piggy are that even if the world of the movie and the world of the Muppets coincided to legitimize the ceremony it was entered in haste and likely would have been annulled. I feel that the decades since MTM have been spent with Kermit and Piggy...

I doubt they'd keep the Happiness Hotel set for 20 years. It's possible portions of it were used, but not likely.

They did plan on including these items with Animal, but found it too costly. Their advertising actually implied that the collar and chains would be included, but the wording was such that it wasn't an official confirmation. Still, it was a very poor choice by them to include nothing by way of...

That is what the writer director has been saying all along. I don't get why some members continually choose to believe otherwise. The Fraggles mean a lot to all of us. Even though Boober is my favorite Fraggle I see no need to have a Booberish perspective on all that could go wrong but probably...

...oh the good times we have. ;)

I'm completely behind you on the matter. Who makes this sort of choice for the Wiki? I'll lend whatever kind of support if it helps. I would never doubt your expertise in such a matter. :attitude: UK and US airdates are important for TMS seeing that it was primarily an American program shot...

The better Blu-ray discs have amazing features - up to twice as much or more than their DVD counterparts and I'm not talking special edition Blu-rays either. It's not just about the remastered picture. There are in-movie features that are worth the slightly higher price. They aren't taking...
