    So what did everybody think of the movies of 2007?

    I keep mixing the dates up, but it was a late release that I did see last spring. I forgot Bean's Holiday too. It has good moments. Somehow he plays better on the small screen in shorter projects. Bean really is television - terrific television! Maybe I'll bump Juno up the list.

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    You're exactly right. Even if the approval process were streamlined the changes could delay manufacturing and distribution for several months. There are rare occasions when that isn't a factor. Disney's approval process can be schizophrenic. Sometimes they rubber-stamp things that require more...

    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    I agree. The film really has a sweet heart bigger than merchandising. In fact, there really isn't much merchandise at all. The fact that a film continues to do this well weeks after release is largely due to repeat visits. That shows people like it enough to shell out dough for high ticket...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Yes and no. It really cuts both ways. The Gonzo proto photos came out right when they usually do - at the Con and at the pre-order phase. Terry's did come out early, but those really fanned interest! Either way, the pics they have just look wrong. Some fans will complain no matter how accurate a...

    So what did everybody think of the movies of 2007?

    Beyonce? A-list? I admit that Jennifer Hudson won an award, but hasn't yet earned A-list status until she gets a few more projects under her belt. The rest really aren't my taste. It would have been nice to see one actor I could see as an anchor but Murhpy and Foxx don't quite fit the bill for...

    So what did everybody think of the movies of 2007?

    My Film Ratings (as far as can be remembered) I love film so much that I was schooled in it for some years before changing majors. I tend to see a lot of movies as they are somewhat of a healthy addiction. I sometimes look at them with different eyes than my friends. Not better or worse, but...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Is it me or has that suit color (that was supposed to be altered after the Con) pretty much the same? I feel that MR might be getting creative with their reasoning rather than making these better. Terry's work is so wonderful. I still have faith MR will get his Gonzo pattern right. Just wish...

    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    As of the 1st the Chipmunks have made $153,632,443 domestic. It's back at number 2 while Legend slipped down. This film has staying power even I didn't see coming. I knew it would do well, but this is impressive.

    Will animated avatars last a while?

    Macromedia products are great. They created Flash (and then Adobe bought them out) which I use all the time! Looking forward to your new stuff! I remember making a gif for member RadioNate. Lost touch with him, but the avatar had the newsman with screens around him. Cool stuff. Probably the last...

    New Years Resolutions

    That's some good advice! That's partly why I chop up my goals into quarters. Who knows what the year will bring so some things may need adjusting - but not excuses, of course! ;) Patience and better organizing my surroundings are the focus for the new year so far and that can be achieved! :)

    Will animated avatars last a while?

    I think so. There are still a few around that I've seen and most of them are attractively contructed. I'm a big supporter of them! Old link of my Delphi MC signatures. ;) It's part of what helped me get the gig with the MC revamp years back. (right clicking on that was disabled a long time...

    Christmas Menu Descriptions

    :)Happy New Year Manhattan Melodies Menu:rolleyes: A purplish-blue backdrop of a starry night sky with a moon appears as a New York prop-like cityscape rises up in front of it. Magenta, blue and yellow confetti explode in tiny gusts across the screen. Fireworks of the same colors burst in the...

    New Years Resolutions

    Patience I'm sitting here at nearly 10 pm in Houston and have decided to stay in. My annual gathering came over the weekend. I expected to celebrate tonight when I booked my holiday flights, but things change. I'm glad to be away from the crowded drunken halls. Just wish I'd known so that I...

    Follow That Bird: sales spike?

    It appears that there is a spike in sales of the Follow That Bird DVD according to Yahoo Movies website today. It lists the current top 5 theatrical films, television programs, albums, video rentals, video sales etc. Is this part a misprint? VIDEO SALES 1. "Sesame Street Presents: Follow...

    Preorder the Animal Muppet Replica

    Some local comic book store owners will sell merchandise at cost for preferred clients. Plus there's no shipping/reshipping costs or hassles. I just decided to get him online, but man...he's coming UPS and they've always been so much trouble to deal with in my numerous encounters with them. UPS...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    It's shipped! I'll be getting him soon. Fingers crossed. It's coming UPS and they have had a terrible track record with me about 95% of the time over the past 15 years. They're by far the worst courier. I wish it had been sent regular post office or DHL like my Kermit was, but no bother. Just...

    Preorder the Animal Muppet Replica

    Just ordered my Animal from the US. I did some comparison shopping and settled on a price. I was going to buy Animal from a brick and mortar vendor at wholesale, but decided to go this way. It's odd that the listing price for the product can vary $20-40 difference. :confused:

    Well This is a New One...

    I used to have a friend who's mother wouldn't take down the tree until Valentine's Day, but I think there were other things at play. ;)

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    The nose lip shape (among a few other things) is also notably incorrect in the prototype photo. Far too much upper jaw. Terry's was perfect and the images on MR's site are notorious for being poor representations of brilliant work so nobody really knows at this point. I'm so anxious to see how...
