    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Oh yeah, this movie has box office gold written all over it: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-entertainment-news-updates-july-charlie-sheen-s-9-11-drama-set-for-1499795101-htmlstory.html I mean, really, how can a propaganda film by Charlie Sheen fail to bring people in droves to the...

    The Nostalgia Critic Thread Lives Again!

    This is exactly the reason I always wanted NC to review certain movies: not because they were bad, but because they had an impact on those who saw them . . . that, and I just wanted to see his reactions to them as well - like PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE, I always wanted to see his reactions to some...

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

    You're not alone, really, I notice a number of people here who have noted a difference in Kermit's personality with Steve as well - a mellow, almost subdued personality in comparison to Jim's easily flustered Kermit who was quick to fly off the handle.

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

    With so many people saying Steve's Kermit and Ernie are the ones they grew up with, I grew up with an interesting combination of both his and Jim's versions. I was born a year before Jim died, so Steve was already performing the characters by the time I would be old enough to remember, well...

    Gee, I only suggested that like five pages ago. :P

    Do Joey and Kevin work for Henson now?

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

    Looking at what little info has been leaked so far, I'm starting to wonder if maybe Steve's departure is on similar grounds as Joey's was for leaving SST?

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

    At the risk of jumping to conclusions, it sounds like Disney got fed up with him and gave him the boot? I mean, that happens: if certain performers or actors get too "meddlesome" as far as the brass goes, they'll look for any reason they can to cut them loose, and that almost sounds like what's...

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

    Matt's a really great, versatile performer, and he's done such a great job with Jerry's characters (which is no easy task, since Jerry had a unique voice). I'm sure he'll do well with Kermit, but as I've mentioned throughout the years on MC, I feel like David Rudman probably could do a decent...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    :sigh: Things were going so well up until today: we were actually below average all June long - not only is something like this rare, but we haven't had such a June (let alone such a summer) in about eleven or twelve years, I'm not exaggerating! Not only that, but the below average streak had...

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

    As much as I hate to be the "conspiracy theorist," I just can't help but wonder if Steve's departure is in similar vein as that of Kevin . . . I mean, why else would Steve want to leave when this was his childhood dream and the Muppets are essentially back in the public eye once again and have...

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    Never was a fan of her. Like Nostalgia Critic but less torture and more corpsing.

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    Since it's Nostalgia Critic's 10th anniversary, I spent about nine hours binge watching my favorite episodes today: mostly pre-2013 episodes.

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    Well, one of the teaser trailers pretty much spelled it out for us: the movie was going to be about Gary and Mary's relationship, and, oh yeah, the Muppets are thrown in there somewhere.

    He may be a little star, but he twinkle-twinkles bigly; very, very bigly.

    The Nostalgia Critic Thread Lives Again!

    Well, as long as we're discussing the 10th anniversary, why don't we discuss some of our favorite episodes from these past ten years? I pretty much already got the Cartoon All-Stars and FTB reviews out of the way, a few of my other favorites include. . . . SUPER MARIO BROS. - My biggest laugh...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4727 - Twinkle Twinkle Little Elmo

    Whoa, Telly's got a deep, manly voice now! And speaking of voices, did anyone besides me feel like Matt's voice for the star sounded very much like an imitation of the kind of voice Joey would do? Otherwise, I really don't have much to comment on: this was clearly a bottled episode with one main...

    What made you angry today?

    Whoever makes those height to weight charts for medical offices just updated them with absolutely insane numbers: used, according to the charts, somebody my height was supposed to have an ideal weight of 195 . . . now it's 154. Are you freakin' kidding me?
