    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Biopics are just as bad: matter of fact, there's a biopic about Bob Crane and his downfall into porn and sex addiction, and there was a scene that was thrown into the movie that Crane's family said never happened and that he never did such a thing, and it was the filmmaker/director who said...

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

    I really like the Grover puppet they're using right now, it actually looks like a recycled puppet from the 70s: he's even got floppy fingers again! Grover (and really, all of the monsters) hasn't had floppy fingers since the 80s.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Maybe because of music rights? I think "Linus and Lucy" is heard when Dorothy imagines Elmo flying a plane . . . but then again, they've done music replacement on DVD before, so that shouldn't be an issue.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I thought Elmo's World was finally put to rest, what, three or four years ago?

    When you need to rant...

    Yeah, but I mean, again, they redesigned Pikachu to be slimmer than he used to be because he somehow promoted childhood obesity.

    Commercial rant time...

    Well I guess the most recent Cheetos commercial is going to draw in a firestorm of controversy over the family camping being a black father and daughter, and a white mother and son.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    So I'm seeing trailers for this movie called THE 33, which is supposed to be the "untold story" of true events. Is this about those miners who were trapped in a collapsed mine? And when they finally made it to the surface, didn't one of the miners get in trouble because he was cheating on his...

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

    Well, no. It was supposed to be a big secret, but since it's out in the open now, I was speaking with Terry Angus once, and he did mention that certain fabrics for certain characters are no longer made or no longer available - this is actually the real reason why we're seeing considerably less...

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

    No, many people have been complaining about how the character don't look right ever since Puppet Heap took over building them: Fozzie apparently looks too much like a plush toy than a puppet; Gonzo's nose is too big and throws the rest of his proportions off; Animal is too pink and his head...

    My own personal open rant

    This isn't really a rant or anything, but I'm going to be really honest here: with so many people telling me how much they've been missing Steve and are wanting to see more of him again . . . I was kind of expecting the recent "Monster Eyes" MV to go over better than it has - even though it's...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Even though I know it'll never happen at this point, I kind of wish we could see what THE BULLWINKLE SHOW titles would have looked like properly restored and in DVD-quality: the titles were always iffy in syndication, earlier episodes have very faded and washed out colors, but starting from...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Yeah, but that could have been a generalization of an estimated window of time - we don't know of all the pertinent little details behind this sudden channel hop, other than we know the deal will mean SST will now have financial security as opposed to having to rely on funding through PBS to get...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Again, this HBO deal is clearly something the sprang up out of the clear blue - even some of the castmembers didn't see this coming, so that's probably made some waves behind-the-scenes, because all we knew otherwise was that Season 46 would be airing on PBS maybe a month or two ago, but again...

    The "You know what?" thread

    No, I said that they're identifying the episode numbers in their cable listings according to broadcast order rather than chronological order.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Cable really needs to stop going to Wikipedia for information; most episode guides incorrectly list episodes in order according to broadcast date, but episodes aren't always originally aired in chronological order - cable listins always incorrectly list SEINFELD and ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE episode...

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

    When Ernie is singing his song about his love for adding, Bert comments, "Ernie, this is not normal, you singing like this." Not normal? Oh, I had no idea that busting out into a random song about subject matter on Sesame Street was not normal, especially all those songs Ernie randomly broke out...

    Mr.Snuffleupagus on Rachael Ray Show

    I always felt like Marty really made both Telly and Snuffy his own; no, they weren't his characters from the start, but he really made them his own. He started out as an imitation of Brian: his early Telly has that kind of neurotic, yet timid and nervous voice and demeanor that Brian's Telly...
