    Eisner Nears Muppet Rescue

    Really? Do tell. I never heard of that. Never liked Wimzie's House because I kept thinking, "Not the Muppets!"

    Happy Birfday, B'ron!

    Hope your hand gets better. Darn accidents that keep you from typing with both hands! ;):D Heck, there was a time a few years ago when I had to draw with my left hand for six months due to a cast. Some of the stuff was actually good! LOL!

    Happy Birfday, B'ron!

    Darn! I missed it. :( Sorry 'bout that. I've been pretty sick for a week. Hope you had a fantastic Birthday!:flirt: :) :excited:

    Disney's Widescreen "for Dummies"

    ...and Byron hasn't left his house since. LOL! Just kiddin! (ducks):zany:

    Eisner Nears Muppet Rescue

    I liked the article up until the language accused Henson's heirs of being nasty. I hope that was just poor wording. However, I agree with Luke. It's an article planted with the intention of coaxing Eisner along. I like how the article closes, but do not like the accusation of Henson’s greed...

    Palisades Daily Bit - Muppet Newsman Accessories

    Beter than I imagined. Wow! For the record, will he have a chair? He doesn't really need one, but I thought that since his knees bent that one might be included. I am more excited than ever for series 5. It'll be the best series yet. I am thrilled about all the characters in it. Especially...

    Disney's Widescreen "for Dummies"

    I don't see anything rediculous or dramatic about widescreening an image. Did you read my post? I said that Boston Public broadcasts their image cropped and has another signal that broadcasts widescreen (for those who have a cable hook-up and widescreen TVs). A director usually wants their...

    Disney's Widescreen "for Dummies"

    It isn't to make them look cooler, it's because widescreen is becoming the new format. Commercials are another matter. Many new programs are shot on widescreen so they will be compatible in the future. It increases their syndication value too. Yeah, they could crop the widescreen image for TV...

    New movies coming out...

    ET and his friends are in the senate meeting. Watch it again. They are very clearly there. Fun stuff. Wish they'd included a Koozbanian too. :p

    New movies coming out...

    I think a cameo of Han Solo would be cool as long as it was a quick cut rather than a plot point. There are many cameos in the last 2 Star Wars films. Why stop now? Heck, Episode One even featured ET. I don't think a shot showing Han in a sight gag as a troublemaking toddler would be bad for the...

    Disney's Widescreen "for Dummies"

    I've brought up that point many times (in MC articles and other threads). Even after half of prime time dramas are broadcast in widescreen, there are consumers in America who still don't get it for some reason. Or, at least companies that don't think they do. You'd be surprised how uninformed...

    ...yeah, and wondering why their CDs don't play in the toaster. :eek:

    Disney's Widescreen "for Dummies"

    Yeah, a widescreen reissue would be more than enough for me. Whatever is more cost effective would be the way to go. Different cover art, booklet and maybe an added clip on the DVD would make for an economical collector's edition that would set it apart from the pan and scan release. BTW Does...

    Disney's Widescreen "for Dummies"

    I agree. They should have picked a better image. Some people probably won't even notice the differences, but this is a step in the right direction - and more than a baby step. Plus, I have the suspicion that it will reduce the number of tech support phone calls from unenlightened people. I...

    Disney's Widescreen "for Dummies"

    The new Treasure Planet DVD is released only in widescreen. For a DVD to be released exclusively in widescreen is not entirely uncommon, but Disney's reputation on the matter has been spotty. They included a visual representation in the pamphlet that clears up the widescreen matter for those who...

    Kermit on Hollywood Squares: April 28-May 2

    What the heck did you think I said? LOL! I have a cold, but I don't see how what I said could have been read any other way. I cringe to think what kind of morbid meaning that could have been misconstrued from my post. :eek:

    Kermit on Hollywood Squares: April 28-May 2

    Um...when Jim performed Kermit, he was just as irreverent. The Muppets have been known to say some shocking things at times. Some people forget that. :p

    Banks extend EM.TV's "Junior loan" repayment term to end of May 2003

    People complain about what Disney did to the Pooh empire, but I have always enjoyed what they did. Sure, they've had that lack-luster Book of Pooh puppet show and the costume show in the 80s, but the animated TV and film projects are pretty darn good and Pooh would not be as popular as it is...

    Banks extend EM.TV's "Junior loan" repayment term to end of May 2003

    It's like a dance. It'll go back and forth until someone gets tired. Disney will come around. My money goes on that. 70 million dollars. That's like 5 Lizzie Maquire movies and a Max Keeble 2. :rolleyes: :grouchy:

    Kermit on Hollywood Squares: April 28-May 2

    Kermit mentioned the figures and the host mentioned PalisadesToys.com! I'm glad that this time things were a bit more specific and the action figures were called "Muppet" figures rather than just "Kermit" figures. I think Kermit has done a great job in all of his performances of late. He has...
