    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    There's rumors that they either will or won't. I'm sure there's some inspiration in there, and that stuff really should be given a good look. The mystery surrounding this film is astounding. Any other film, we would basically have an entire script leaked by now. I'm actually glad that we...

    When you need to rant...

    The single ones or the lame "cool moms" who are basically the same lame soccer moms that pretend to care about their kid's crappy music? Anyway... I learned more about the Holocaust from literature classes than I did from every History class. No matter what, we had this strong, almost...

    "Muppets...Again" officially retitled to "Muppets Most Wanted"

    It's funny cuz that's the point. The ...Again in the title was a clear and obvious tongue in cheek reference to this being a sequel, not to mention all the other movies the Muppets have made. However that joke is a little too inside and self referential to the point of sounding like a parody...

    Sesame Streets current target audience question

    I'll take toy based entertainment over half the stuff us adults are supposed to watch any day. Transformers Prime is better written and less Narmy than half the action shows geared to adults (cough cough Once upon a time cough). Freakin' love Transformers Prime. That's my LOST. Still...

    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    No one is going to shell out Broadway ticket prices for a walkaround to a recorded track type show. I mean, how much is a SSLive ticket?

    "Muppets...Again" officially retitled to "Muppets Most Wanted"

    Totally takes away the irreverence of the title, but that was going to go over everyone's heads anyway. This new title is far more marketable.

    When you need to rant...

    No... the Crowning moment of stupidity wasn't from Beebo, it was from one of his rabidly stalkerish moron 11 year old fan girls that basically slammed Anne Frank for getting his attention... and NOT knowing who the heck she even was. While her comments came off as anti-Semetic/Nazi...

    Sesame Streets current target audience question

    I'm no fan of the misconception that babies need TV. I mean, there are at least 2 cable channels to cater to babies, and Sprout clings onto the old "midnight feedings" myth to rationalize toddler friendly programming at midnight. I mean, really.. be cool. Qubo has He-Man and stuff at that...

    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    All indications state this is going to be live puppetry, not something akin to the Vee corporation traveling shows.

    Sesame Streets current target audience question

    I'm absolutely glad that's the case. Sesame should NEVER have been in the 0-3 zone. They aren't going to get anything out of it, and lazy parents plop their kids down in front of it instead of sharing the experience. What's the point of parental bonus if parents don't bother watching with...

    When you need to rant...

    That's why I'm starting to really like Mad Men. The overall message about the show, besides the obvious foundation on Values Dissonance, is to succeed in business you have to be a real butt pipe. Somethings never change. Worse yet, when they do "staycation people," they're well to do enough...

    When you need to rant...

    Staycation is a euphemism cooked up by marketing departments for "the economy took a huge dump on the middle middle working class and under." They got paid more to make that word to sell cheap crap than it would cost to give everyone who had to take a staycation an actual vacation.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    If the last movie was any indication, I don't want too many sketches lifted from The Muppets Show. The last film tried to get as much Muppet film and show feel into a 90 minute film as possible, and that worked for that movie. This film seems especially plot driven, and too many Muppet Show...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Anything that can be related to the upcoming Star Wars movies will just be speculation and theories until we get an official synopsis. But there's absolutely no question there's going to be a time skip. There was a huge time skip between Episodes 3 and 4 (there's an animated series that's...

    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    They would have to use understudies being a live stage show. If it was one performance, they could get all the performers no doubt. But if they have multiple performances in a certain period of time, they are going to have to have other puppeteers play the roles at some point. But something...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    Cuz it totally was until they switched to that ghastly Korean (or was it Taiwanese) firm. Not only was it animated in Japan, but it was animated by one of the top firms, Toei, mainly out of some deal Marvel productions had with them. They also animated G.I. Joe and Transformers in that era...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    The bilingual skits are coming back. Haven't seen those since, maybe the early 90's or so. Only thing close was that sit and stand song in English, French and Spanish.

    Rumor: Muppets Stage Show

    At the risk of bubble bursting, it sounds like there's a reason that this was an unrealized dream of Jim Henson's. The logistics are going to be a killer. But there is hope... it's not like this is the first ever Broadway Show using puppets as main characters. I agree... I can see smaller...

    Ah... clearly he wasn't as prominent as Link was, otherwise I would have remembered him.
