    Spider-Man

    Spiderman Spectacular! Okay, it won't make my top ten and there were some uneven moments, but it easily exceeded my expectations. And many of you MC old-timers know how picky the old frogboy can be. :) Toby Maguire gave an amazingly nuanced and shaded performance while skillfully walking...

    Kermits Swamp Years Trailer

    Jamie (D) Oops! Sorry, man, misunderstood. Thought you were talkin' about Henson.com. Swamp Years looks cute, but it's not the project most fans are looking forward to. I'm sure it'll be okay, but I'm not too keen on a Muppet film geared toward kids. That's what Sesame Street (and Elmo) is for...

    Rubber Stamps, esp. ANIMAL

    Um, those stamps are from my collection, but I'm not selling them. If you would like I could send you a full-sized scan of the item. I doubt they are selling the stamps anymore, but you could check craft and comic shops. I got them at both places a few years ago.:)

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    I agree with you about sectioning off the remakes of literature etc to television projects. It really is irritating to wait years between Muppet films then watch them do yet another version of Chistmas Carol or Treaure Island. It's a waste of a perfectly good oportunity when they could do...

    Kermits Swamp Years Trailer

    It had the ick facktor to all the people I showed it to, but I know lots of designers.

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    I really hope they don't keep remaking fairytales. Leave that to Disney, the Muppets are too creative to make that a habit.

    Kermits Swamp Years Trailer

    Thanx, Sid- Those pics are kind of in the same style. My design was originally influenced by old radio dials in a kind of art-deco style with a modern twist. One of my classmates made a comment likening it to some of the Mac designs. LOL! I can maybe see a little of it and they do some great...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Yeah, I keep noticing the Waldorf syndrome in all the materials I have gone through lately. Eeek. He does look like he was abducted.

    Kermits Swamp Years Trailer

    Thanx. I'm assuming by your response that everything worked okay. I can't wait till some of the MC stuff comes out, but that will take a while. So much to do with my portfolio.:)

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Ouch. A rubber-chicken lashing! I have had the same thought about Skeeter and Muppet Babies, but I think a grown up Skeeter voiced by a seasoned Muppet performer could be a good thing. There aren't enough strong female characters in the Muppets and she could be one of them. My fear is that...

    Kermits Swamp Years Trailer

    Rest assured that something will be up this summer. Er, that means by August. LOL! To see a preview of one of the old projects that I am redressing for my portfolio go to www.jamesvier.com/m3g . It's a faux music site school project that I managed and created the multimedia portion. I also did...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    I feel that MFS is more dated than TGMC in that the Muppets were trying so hard to be current in Space while in Caper they gave a much less "forced" performance in my view. When Kermit said "Way to get down with your funky selves," at the end of Brick House, I must admit to sinking in my theater...

    Kermits Swamp Years Trailer

    Sid The site is really disappointing and to tell you the truth, I expected it to be. Henson's web media has suffered from poor follow-through with each project. Henson.com would be inconsistent about updating their site posting erroneous dates for new installments and then pushing them back...

    Why don't most people like "Muppet Treasure Island"?

    Chilly- I have to comment on your query pertaining to the popularity of The Great Muppet Caper. Keep in mind that I really love all the Muppet films *except for Muppets From Space which I have learned to tolerate. :) This is just my perspective, of course. You refer to it as "the Miss Piggy...

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    I would say yes to a laugh-track. I know they are a little obnoxious, but all network show have them. I remembering watching a few cable "sitcomesque" shows a couple years ago that went without the laughtrack and it just seemed strange. Just my thoughts. Clifford as a manager is perfect. He'd...

    The new Muppet movie and TV series

    I completely disagree. I love the Simpson's musical numbers. Actually, until now I had never heard anyone not liking them. To each their own, though.:)

    Final Packaged Sample Pics

    I welcome different perspectives on the chart. That's kind of what it's for and the more comments I get the better the chart is. There are many ruled Ken has layed out so it is tricky figuring it all out with the clues and comments we are given and now we have been told that it is all really...
