I think they're just interested in making the same story over and over with tiny little changes to adapt for environment and emotional pull. Somehow I find the ones not based on reality a little better as far as storytelling is concerned. They're actually the ones that are supposed to follow a...

Hmmm. I haven't seen it, especially since last night. Maybe it still exists in some areas. Hopefully this thing still exists out there and will get more airtime. But anyway, I'll just hand things over to Colbert... Back to the bad advertisements I posted. I...I think the company that...

The eyes are also a bit too small. If they were the slightest bit bigger, they'd be a bit more expressive. He kinda looks either dead-eyed or deadpan, whichever fits the case. And his nose is a little too perfect. I want to say it looks a little thick too but A) there's no way to say that...

Listen. We're all trying to be polite about this, but... if your home life drama is about not getting iPods or getting punished for something and having the iPod you currently have taken away, well... consider yourself lucky. Some of us can barely afford going to a movie once in a while at a...

I feel the same way about it, though it does feel like it's the movie it should be. Pixar only made one prequel, and that was Monsters University. And...well... prequels don't really get good press because a good prequel is a rare thing. Say what you ill about the not liked Star Wars ones, I...

uhhh... if I said anything about the movie being successful enough to garner a sequel, unfortunately there probably won't be one, but only due to rights and the massive amount of work to get this movie itself already. Even though it did modestly well enough to get one, Fox was only licensed to...

That's why they really don't need to keep making these "uplifting" sports underdog movies over and over. They have some great films already, and instead of being inspirational, these new films come off manipulative, formulaic, and in the case of "The Blind Side" insulting and unintentionally...

It's nice to say that the last few episodes were "the best episode yet." Without a doubt, this is where the show should have been all along. You know that they've got it right when the episode concept almost feels like it could have been an original Muppet Show episode. They added in the...

A long and drawn out one for sure. There is indeed nothing to compare them to previously, and everything that can be said is clearly in hindsight. However, that hindsight gives a nice history of how the puppets were perfected over the years. Clearly, classic AM's were sloppier out of...

Oh yeah. Me too. While some puppets suffer a little in the advanced puppet build department, some characters thrive. Grover is one of them.

Don't ask me why I found this out on the particular site I did, but Apparently Sony is going to stop making Betamax Video Tapes. That's the equivalence of hearing about an actor who died who wasn't very active in years to the point you question "wait...he was still alive?" Yep. They were...

Actually, let us DO forget that. Shudder.... Not saying all biopics are bad, but they all follow the same formula, and the Jim Henson one, even looking at it with an outside the fandom perspective, was a painfully manipulative and equally lip bitingly formulaic Oscar grab of a film. Things...

I somehow found out about it in a small local chain VHS rentals place that had an extensive selection of eccentric and rare VHS. I didn't really get a chance to see it until I found a RealVideo file of the thing on Toontracker. Thankfully years later, youtube gave me a better look at the...

I would. There's another song by her, but it's thankfully reserved for the credits. I wouldn't say that the couple of songs they used in the film would anything remotely negative enough not to see the film. It's really well done on every level otherwise, and perfectly captures the heart of...

I'd try the internet, but the price swings vary wildly.

Yes, but you have to understand D*Snowth made a good point about Sesame Street having the same problems. It's not Disney Muppet exclusive. Heck, there were terrible and downright ugly Piggy puppets even before the buyout. That's not to say there aren't some puppets that look great now. It's...

Yes yes yes and yes. I've been saying this for years, but Ernie and Bert look too darn perfect now. Even Ernie's signature tossled hair is perfectly coiffed. There's such a warmness from the late 70's- late 80's versions of the characters. Somehow the turn of the millennium, those two...

There are so many of these Pops and the bigger name characters (unless they're overstocked like Frozen ones were) seem to sell faster than the others, making them tough to find. I remember going nuts looking for am Inside Out Sadness figure for a present, and sifting through a lot of Sixteen...

I've always said that the war on obesity leads to clumsy bandaid solutions that come from panic and not from careful thinking and planning. However, childhood obesity is actually down. Maybe some of the actual careful thought based decisions worked while I'd say all of the panic stricken crap...

I ignore the heck out of these "based on a real story" prestige films. I just hate how they warp the facts to make the film more interesting. I think the film that pushed me off that edge was that horrible movie about football with Sandra Bullock as coach that she undeservedly won the award...
