    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    So in the months to come, we're looking forward to: - MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2 (uh, how long ago was the first one?) - THE NUT JOB 2 (was the first one even good?) - KUNG FU PANDA 3 (didn't they already do three movies?) Regarding the MBFGW sequel, I notice everybody is making the same...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Am I the only one who thinks the upcoming movie SISTERS should really just be called THE NEW TINA FEY/AMY POEHLER MOVIE? I mean really, those two always co-star together in everything to the point it's hard to accept them playing different characters . . . it's like when Kenan and Kel did GOOD...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    It seems to me that quite a bit of library production music went into the soundtrack of the show because I've heard some of it in different sources. For example: that fiddle tune that plays when Eustace chases after Courage in "The Shadow of Courage" and during their Kangaroo Monster battle in...

    Favorite Seinfeld moments?

    The hour-long episodes are all split into two-parter half-hours in syndication, but the second syndicated half always includes a voice-over announcement of Jerry saying, "Here's what happened last week in case you missed it." But, the episodes aired as hour-long episodes, which they aired the...

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    I apologize for that; I wanted something that looked like hand writing to go along with the theme I designed to give it the look of a notebook.

    Worst/creepiest puppets/puppeteer work

    Drtooth is always complaining about the recommended videos he gets on YT that have little to nothing to do with videos he's actually watched, well, I got this after listening to some SST songs today, and, well . . . Wow. Prototype Barney is insanely frightening. Insanely frightening.

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    He only knows one opinion: his own. Anybody who doesn't agree with it is an "uneducated jerk who's wrong." This is like the second time this has come up in this thread.

    When you need to rant...

    So D'ump (and Bristol Palin too, for whatever reason) is goin' off about Political Correctness Gone Mad, saying that Starbucks is un-American for serving their drinks in cups that say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas," and that once he's president, he will make it politically...

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    Yep. I've been around for a while, lol. I used to have that ability too, to somehow accurately picture the way people actually look, and much of the time I would be right.

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    All this talk about how different the puppets look now and how much they've lost their warmth and edge in the process has compelled me to touch on the subject even more: http://josephscarbrough.blogspot.com/2015/11/advances-in-puppet-building-are-they.html You'll appreciate the little...

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

    So has social media killed blogging, or what? Of the ten or so blogs that I tend to follow, I believe only one of them still updates regularly, all the others have pretty much fizzled out - even Henson.com doesn't update Jim's Red Book as often as they used to (or it could be too that they're...

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    I have to do that "petting" too - it helps straighten up the fur and keeps it from looking mussed and ruffled.

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    It even seems like all of the post-2002 Elmos we've had have also had a really combed-down look to him; I personally prefer the Elmo of 1998-2002, when they gave him smaller eyes and a rounder head, but still had just a slight shagginess to his fur. I think the main reason we see less of Rowlf...

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    I actually felt Crazy Harry perhaps suffered the most from having that "too perfect/too pristine" look, but that could be just me.

    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    I love seeing early AM inserts: some of those Season 1 inserts, with the out-of-focus eyes that make them look dead were pretty bad, yes, but from Season 2 and throughout the 70s, they're great. There was a particular lavendar AM in the early 70s that had highly visible seams (think Howie the...

    Finding Dory coming to theaters Summer 2016

    So, based on this trailer, this appears to not be a prequel like was speculated, but a direct sequel to FINDING NEMO. Already, I'm mixed on this: on the one hand, I love Dory, and she definitely stole the show in FINDING NEMO, but can she really carry a movie herself? Also, the story of someone...

    Big Bird and The Count on Funny or Die (Video)

    I've never exactly been a fan of Funny or Die, and while I didn't really find this video too funny, it was amusing, and nice to see Big Bird used this way.
