    Commercial rant time...

    ...and then there's the plush toy/fish bowl abomination. Which is actually cute if you put anything but a live fish in it.

    Is Frozen overrated?

    If there's one thing The Lion King should get credit for, it's being a 90's Disney Movie that isn't about princesses, or at least marketable human female characters. It does have a love story, which is fairly minor and doesn't detract from the film's story. I wish we saw more movies like TLK...

    Commercial rant time...

    Yeah. Those are a thing. Cute for kids under the age of 5, disturbing for anyone older. And they totally want you to wear these in public.

    Commercial rant time...

    Yeah, those commercials are a bit annoying. Especially the weird sliding scale of "you're going to die" commercials they have on retro television networks. I mean, you're either in you're late 60's with you're full life ahead of you ("big Plans") or you're thinking about final expenses as...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    The media ruined Let it Go. They overused the darn thing for months (The View hilariously used it as a theme song), then they switched over and really ruined "Happy." A song that was meant for nothing more than the party sequence in the opening of Despicable Me 2. Now everyone used it to the...

    Stop Being a Fool Disney: Release The Muppets at Walt Disney

    Question. Does Disney release any special regardless of who's in it? I have never seen them release any television special, unless you count Mickey's Christmas Carol.

    Do you feel Welcome at Muppet Central?

    I've no doubt that it's a frustrating job to filter through all those inane spambots. Why, one day there was several spam threads just popping out of the woodwork, and The Count was unavailable to do anything about it. It is a thankless position, one that desperately requires assistance. I...

    Can we PLEASE implement a rule against bumping old threads?

    Someone bumped a 10 year old thread about potential Muppet Show Action Figures to list random characters they'd like to see. Too many were listed. The characters were all trifling 5th stringers that no one would buy. And did I mention the company that made the figures has been bankrupt? If...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    August was inordinately kind to Planes, considering that there were several kid's movies released in that period. This seems to be something that could manage to make money on weekdays since it's the only kid's film in theaters. But you bet that Disney's going to say "Number one family movie"...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Probably in certain parts of the country. There just isn't a big call for it here. I just keep seeing stacks and stacks of clearance merchandise that no one is really going for. And again, right next to the new sequel based toys. That says something. Even poor/cheap parents would have...

    Can we do something about posting for posts sake?

    I know, right? Same guy who would endlessly post Non-updates on a certain movie that's never going to happen. But seriously, if you don't know who a person that a thread is about, why would anyone bother posting in it? that guy, that's who. I'd also love to complain about a certain jokes...

    Can we do something about posting for posts sake?

    Here's the thread in question. http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/guess-series-10.11181/page-2#post-1113760 At least the poster after my sarcastic comments at least mentioned a "what if" scenario. I just think the one who bumped it up wanted to desperately list as many obscure...

    Commercial rant time...

    Anyone else think those lame Dish Network or whatever commercials about "ugly wires" are just the height of creepy for creepy's sake, only clumsy? First off, it implies the guy...well... with a puppet. He has a kid with one, for Glob's sake. They even had a commercial where the puppet...

    Get ready for some Muppet nightmare fuel

    I can't lie... that looks a LOT better than most of the plush toys we ever get of ol' Foz.

    Can we do something about posting for posts sake?

    I don't want to be mean to a certain member, but it seems a certain someone just posted a random list of characters in a 10 year old thread about the action figure line that ended as many years ago. I don't know if that member has a history of posting random lists of characters, but there's...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    I don't know exactly where they are in terms of the show, since they started rerunning it from the Enies Lobby arc (they're still on the train, and Luffy and Chopper didn't meet Sogeking/Sniper King yet). But yeah, the lack of variety on cable kid's channels has been bugging me since I started...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Planes is going to make money anyway from being on home video, as its intent. But maybe they'll realize the franchise isn't as strong as they think it is. While I did manage to see someone over the weekend actually buy Planes toys (an older woman for her grandson, obvs...TRU even tried to give...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Here's something that's been bugging me. How come Johnny Test is referred to a ripoff of Dexter's Laboratory when the only slight reference is the inventor sisters have red hair and pointy looking glasses and Johnny's a blonde and science is involved? No doubt that's an intentional reference...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    You got a point there, but I just don't see many people rushing out to see a bad movie about tornadoes with the unnaturally high number of tornadoes, even ones popping up where they never did before. Aside from that, yeah. Michael Bay couldn't make a dumber movie. Between that and Step Up...
