Can't find another Bunsen!
For some reason TRU/Amazon, EB Games and Sam Goody are all out of Bunsen! I need to get one MOC for my set but he's gone. Is there any chance they'll be making more? I have a sneaking feeling that there were too few of him to go around and the stores are waiting to...
...actually, maybe it being a person would be a better idea, but kids just seem to respond better to Muppets. To tell you the truth, I never liked any of the people on Sesame Street. (ducks)
Mr Hooper's death was more traumatic...
While I understand where the [loss of innocence] argument comes from, I feel it is delusional to think that kids (even of that age) don’t already have to deal with many more dire issues. I also don’t feel that having such a character on Sesame Street...

I think that the hospital setting is a separate issue entirely in that case. I think we live in an unfortunate age when all our lives have been (or will be) affected by AIDS. I see no problem with a positive character on SS [that is not exclusively in a hospital setting]. I just wish there...
Say What?
Showing a character only in a hospital setting would be grossly misleading. AIDS is a terrible disease but not everybody who is HIV positive spends their entire life hooked up to a machine in a hospital and showing only that part of it wouldn't be accurate. I'm thinking that maybe...
voices
I think the characters sound fine, but their voices seem to have been electronically sped up and they are definitely waaay out of synchronization with the mouth movement. But the pitch and likeness seem to be the same to me.
Was there ever a Chef commercial? I heard one report of one...
Oops! Not what I meant at all.
My original post stated that there would be a widescreen option - not that they would crop the picture to fit a widescreen format. I can see how you would get that sort mixed-message from my second post, but that is certainly not what I meant at all. The...
Glad to see you agree. I really don't think he's really meant anything by his statements. Maybe it's just a case of hittin' the "Hash Pipe" he sings about. Just unfortunate though. I'd say he was misquoted, but he seems to be really sloppy about what he choice of words.
It is a changing world and AIDS is an unfortunate fact of life. It is my opinion that kids 3-7 years of age do not need to be introduced to any sort of sexuality, but they are placed in jeopardy when ignorant of important information such as AIDS. Kids are informed about cancer and this should...
...but it still has that "made for video" header before "movie" for us Americans. That makes it more of a special for us, but it really is a made for video movie. No words should really be taken out of that for an accurate definintion because it isn't really considered a movie by us yanks and we...

You're absolutely right - it is a Weezer video, but the backstage shots were downright vacant-looking! It's like they didn't completely commit and follow through with the idea or exploit the options handed to them. Much more fun was had with their Happy Days video! I think you have kind of...
What I think would have worked
Fade In:
The Electric Mayhem (except for Animal) walks into frame from the stage. They don't even have to speak! (Mayvbe even audience boos)
Fozzie discusses the line-up with Kermit (same as video).
Scooter is behind Weezer when they walk down the stairs...

It has been reported by Buena Vista Home Video that they do have a version of MTI that is anamorphic widescreen but chose not to use it. This was a discussion a while back. Very weird, but they saw fit to release only the cropped version as they didn't see any market fot the DVD other...
I'm kind of upset. I just saw an MTV news report about the "puppet wars" with Weezer and Saves the Day (who has a puppet video coming out too). Completely stupid and sloppy journalism, but this is MTV.
Weezer's front man, Rivers Cuomo was reached by phone and was very dismissive not only...
what do you mean? Has it been released yet or are you going off some UK specs? Very weird. MTI was cropped to come to DVD and KSY was coverted to widescreed going directly to video. Not that i'm complaining. It just is a strange world if home entertainment!
