    IGOR: I'm just saying, why is it "Frankenstein's Monster"? I do just as much work as you. FRANKENSTEIN: I did not spend 150,000 marks and four years in medical school to share credit with a lab assistant!

    Glove Puppet Patterns?

    Awesome, thanks. While we're on the subject of patterns and such, I've been noticing that in some cases, puppets will have a bit of a curvature where the foam head meets the mouthplates, like so: See how the head kind of curves inward slightly at the mouth? How do you achieve this? Darts on...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Here's a new, somewhat jaded article about the show moving to HBO that pretty much addresses everything that we already knew about the new changes: https://www.yahoo.com/tv/sesame-street-hbo-pbs-5-differences-174100955.html

    Glove Puppet Patterns?

    I wouldn't have even thought to do that. I've made a glove hand before for a puppet (that way I didn't have to build an entire new puppet, just slip the puppet's hand into a slot in the glove and pin into place), but just a completely flat pattern. I take it those little squiggles along the...

    Pat Harrington Jr. passes away

    2008 and 2009 were pretty bad years for celebrity deaths too.

    Pat Harrington Jr. passes away

    I haven't seen ONE DAY AT A TIME, however, I'm all too familiar with his voice as the Inspector and Deux-Deux.

    Glove Puppet Patterns?

    Really? Because their torsos, to me, look as if they have a more distinct shape than that or rod puppets - almost like a more human-esque shape with defined shoulders and such. But like you said, I guess as with anything else,it's all trial and error.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Heather Graham seemed to do nothing but lesbian movies - I seem to recall one where like her brother was getting married but she realized she was in love with the bride too; then there was another one where she and another girl are standing in a hallway drunk or stoned, and they're like, "Do you...

    Glove Puppet Patterns?

    There's plenty of resources out there for patterns regarding rod puppets, but not so much glove puppets, other than one diagram I see floating around for "sag body" puppets (ala Cookie Monster or Rowlf). Does anybody here have any resources or patterns for more humanoid glove puppets like Ernie?

    I suppose, but I mean, this is DeNiro we're talking about, one of the biggest, most serious actors in the biz.

    Contact Cement

    In THE MUPPETS ON PUPPETS, Don Sahlin says if you ever make mistakes with contact cement, you can use a hair dryer to undo your mistake. But, isn't contact cement flammable? Seems to me that would be a fire hazard.

    I won't be posting anymore...

    MC's been like a roller coaster since 2009 or so: that's around the time we began seeing less of certain "old timers" who were longtime regular fixtures, and we began seeing a surge of what I'd call "second generation" members, many of whom contributed to a lot of the drama that pops up from...

    Yeah, it's just the eyebrows that's been recycled; I'll agree they look different on the original puppet, but surely they've aged and probably faded as time went on, so that's probably why they look different.

    Nah; surely an AM with Roosevelt features put on.
