    The "You know what?" thread

    I still don't think MFS is as bad as most people make it out to be, but I suppose I can understand their hatred, considering what we got was not what the original script for the movie was written as, and most people here automatically hate director Tim Hill for his post-Nickelodeon garbage.

    The "You know what?" thread

    I'll agree the dance number didn't do much for me as a kid either (or Piggy's underwater dream sequence, but I can appreciate all of the technical and artistic achievements they accomplished to make that possible), but as an adult, I can appreciate the dry humor of the elderly English couple...

    Where would you think Sam the Eagle would position himself in the current political climate ?

    Sam has always been depicted as sort of a broadly stereotyped, uptight, dyed-in-the-wool conservative, but at the same time, somewhat ignorant of certain general knowledge (like how the song "American Woman" was done by a Canadian band). I could easily see him being Flanderized into the kind of...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I was watching GMC last night, and I think I've figured out why it's my favorite of the first three theatrical Muppet movies when Jim was alive: - The zany and irreverent Muppet humor was at the top of its game, especially with the running gags (Kermit and Fozzie being "identical" twins, Beau's...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    Reminds of how I saw some people were selling VHS of Disney movies on eBay for literally hundreds of thousands of dollars - no foolin'. I remember somebody was selling a VHS of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST for $300,000. Sheesh. Are Disney employees the ones selling these, or are Disney fans just as much...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Jim performed him for 35. Is there some sort of a time-limit that people can perform Kermit? If so, then Steve hadn't even reached Jim's amount of time, so how do we know when it's time for a character to change performers?

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    In that case, Red Guy from COW AND CHICKEN would love that technicality. But then again, I've been to a McDonald's in Florida where lots of dudes weren't wearing shirts . . . but then again, it was by the beach, and it was summer vacation, so I guess they were being a little leanient?

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    If we're goin' there, yesterday in a restaurant, I saw a girl (also about high school age) wearing nothing but a gray t-shirt and black panties. Not that that made me smile, just throwing that into the conversation since we're on the subject.

    I just cleaned up litter off the street yesterday, and already as of this morning, there's more litter out on the street. Some people. . . .

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    Even though I totally wasn't prepared for it, today is apparently the first truly cool day of the fall season: mid-60s; a day for wearing long pants. Now I'm just trying to decide whether to sleep in my Cookie Monster jammie pants tonight, or my Oscar the Grouch ones.

    Had to pick my dad up today, so nice to know I really didn't miss anything I haven't already seen.

    The... -wait fer it-... "What made you laugh today?" Thread

    Black lips aside, I find that somehow, darker shades of lipstick to be not particularly flattering on certain women - I don't know what it is, but it somehow "ages" them . . . I guess kind of like how on some men, a mustache (or even a full-blown beard) can make them look ten years older.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    As I've said before, I've found it harder and harder to trust Steve - not because I think he lying, but because I feel like he's not telling the whole truth. Again, let's look at it logically: Disney, the Hensons, and other performers (including Rick Lyon) have all said the same, if not very...

    Video: Peter Linz premieres as Herry

    Am I imagining things, or does Herry now have a slight speech impediment? Not to the extent of Baby Bear, but it's noticable to me.

    Yes, another reason why I'm put off by the excessive CGI and chromakey they use nowadays.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Again, I think it's less that they didn't listen to him, but rather, they just didn't want to put up with him, because again, this is a common occurence in show business: if actors or performers get too nitpicky about the material they're working with, that can threaten your job security. Many a...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Well then, it would be the direction that would have to be blamed instead of the writing or the performance. But really, this is all turning into one big blame game.
