    Still Looking for a Constantine Puppet Replica!

    If you want a replica, you'll be paying hundreds of dollars for it at the very least. Sorry, but there's no way around it. Making puppets is labor-intensive, painstaking work, and Antron fleece doesn't grow on trees. If you want something inexpensive, I suggest gluing a bit of brown felt on...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted on Blu-ray and DVD

    Plus, people are buying Robin Williams movies like mad, which sends them to the top of the list and takes up some of the dollars that would have gone to MMW.

    I hope everyone will watch this one video. You'll laugh, you'll cry. I mean it.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I have a fanzine titled "Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer," which includes a mention of something Nureyev supposedly said to Hunt. It didn't talk about the repercussions, but I figured that this was probably the, er, event. I can understand nobody wanting to go on record on this matter. I sure...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Count, you've read The Tin Woodman of Oz? Or did you get that from a wiki? If the former, I'm impressed! Hash Inc. has made a CGI musical based on that book, and it's head and shoulders above the usual fan films, but it has its definite weak points. They cut the Tin Soldier completely out of...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I have a copy of the 1914 PWGoO film. It doesn't bear much resemblance to the book. I also have a CGI fan film that, while very faithful to the book, is really amateurish and the voice acting is terribly flat. I mean a full-on, modern film.

    The official ALS Ice Bucket Challenge thread

    A lot of the background Fraggles were "whatnots," with detachable hair so they could be changed around. If you are familiar enough with the characters, you can spot many familiar faces among the Ancient Fraggles in Mokey, Then and Now despite everybody being bald. So, back to the topic, it'd...

    The official ALS Ice Bucket Challenge thread

    Has it not occurred to you that they may have special "wet puppets"? Or possibly they swap out the hair, if that's the only issue.

    I did do a thing with Uncle Traveling Matt, but that wasn't with an actual puppet.

    The official ALS Ice Bucket Challenge thread

    Antron fleece, foam, and fur dry out pretty easily. I don't know if any other substances are used in the puppets--special glue, for example--that might be affected by the water. I'd like to do this with one of my Fraggle puppets, but after you wet ostrich feathers they don't just dry out nice...

    Uncle Traveling Matt and the Ice Bucket Challenge

    If it's more Fraggle fic you're looking for, check out the fic index. I've written quite a lot of Fraggle fic, ranging from short-short stories to 30-chapter serials to mock episodes of the animated series.

    Uncle Traveling Matt and the Ice Bucket Challenge

    No problem. Have fun with the icewater, if you choose to accept Matt's challenge. I've done others. One was about standing in line at Dragon*Con, and the other was about finding huge Doozer constructions in a local mall. *chuckles* I should have guessed the Count would make a day of it. I...

    Uncle Traveling Matt and the Ice Bucket Challenge

    Dear Nephew Gobo, Today I have learned about a strange custom of the Silly Creatures. They dump buckets of ice water on themselves to cure disease in others. I'm not sure how it works, but one of them requested I join in, and your Uncle Matt is never one to back down from a challen--...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted on Blu-ray and DVD

    Oh. Well, if it's in a wiki, it must be true. He's not on the wall during the finale. So, if he is there, he'd be in the scene in which Nadya sticks Kermit to the wall after he tries to escape.

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted on Blu-ray and DVD

    I'd thought that it would have been them MST3King the film, the way the director did with Rizzon & Gonzo in the Muppets from Space DVD. That would have been so much fun.

    New Fraggle Rock Comic 2014

    Matt had a full baloobius when he was young. Maybe Fraggle pattern baldness happens at both ends? Has anyone seen the World's Oldest Fraggle's baloobius? Fun trivia: Fraggle baloobiuses are the same color as their hair. The exception is Convincing John, who has a gray baloobius and black...

    New Fraggle Rock Comic 2014

    Neato! I can't wait to read this! (Oh...it was Red who asked Boober what death was like. That was after they'd switched roles, with Red being frightened and out of her element and Boober being calm.)

    Awkward full-body Muppets

    They're a clothing optional species. Maybe they don't find pants comfortable, especially while swimming. Matt Fraggle is the only one I can think of who wears pants, and I think he does it to blend in with the Silly Creatures.

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I love the MGM film, but, yeah, I don't like the "it's all a dream" cop-out. And I was surprised when I read the book to find out that Baum's Dorothy is no damsel in distress. Though she's only about ten, she is calm and in charge much of the time. During the tornado ride she takes a nap...
