    Ricky Gervais in Talks to Star in 'Muppets' Sequel

    I think the character is down pat, with the exception of him cracking bad jokes (though the song on the Christmas album did it, and somehow made it the most depressing song on the CD... even worse than sad Gonzo's I wish I could be Santa Claus lament and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...

    Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July

    Speaking of sequel specials people aren't too wild about, I don't much enjoy that Frosty Returns special. It has an impressive voice cast, yes. The actors are pretty much the best part, with John Goodman, Andrea Martin, Brian Murry, and John Winters. But this special is pretty dated (the...

    Ricky Gervais in Talks to Star in 'Muppets' Sequel

    I don't see why. Any time in the movie Fozzie didn't sound like Fozzie, you can tell it was ADR. It was always off screen at the worst moments. Plus, it seems that Fozzie was Flanderized ever since MTi, and if he continued down that track, even with Frank, he would have been a blithering...

    The world is still in one piece

    I still think after a nukey holocaust, at best, someone far out of range gets cancer and dies slowly instead of mutates. Of course, zombie apocalypse is completely different than the other scenarios these guys came up with.

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    This bugs me a bit. How come every time SNL has a Christmas compilation, they either show Christmastime for the Jews or the thing about Santa only going to blue states, but they ALWAYS leave out This classic?

    Fantastic Max

    That's one I have happy memories of watching on Sunday Mornings. Hey! Remember when there were cartoons on Sunday Mornings too? I guess it's supposed to be the spiritual successor to Super Ted. I never really got to see that one. I remember someone complaining on Youtube about how it was an...

    Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July

    I just thought the time puns were pretty annoying. If it were a 1960's Batman episode, maybe... and the music? It's Raining Sunshine? They just made this one for the sake of making it. But if there's one thing that's associated with Rakin Bass that was utterly horrible was the live action...

    The world is still in one piece

    The last time it was supposed to happen, it had a specific Eastern time where in nothing happened. Supposedly, this time was supposed to be before 5 Am Eastern yesterday. I agree... a slow moving Earthquake that takes a precise hour per time zone? If the world's going to end, it's going to end...

    The world is still in one piece

    That's never going to change at all. Humans were always like that. How many times in the past 20 years did they say the world was going to end? Y2K (some guy ended up having to pay a fortune for renting Gremlins 2), 2003 a planet that didn't exist was supposed to crash into us. Then there...

    The world is still in one piece

    Doomsday D-Bags still want to believe desperately that something will happen. A dangerous Pandemic (which, at worst would be a black plague situation. Earth already survived that), a massive economic collapse (at worst, a Great Depression. Earth survived that as well), and something else...

    Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July

    I tried watching the Shiny New Year one, but it just wasn't enjoyable. I saw part of the Rudolph and Frosty special once when I was really little, and never saw it again.

    Ricky Gervais in Talks to Star in 'Muppets' Sequel

    Unfortunately, you need big name stars to move just about any movie. Even if they're just celeb voice actors. I wouldn't be able to see them even get to make an all Muppet movie unless some celeb overdubs a specific movie only character. But the Muppets were always paired with celebrity human...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    I never managed to pick that one up. Of course, I was also humongously disappointed in the Halloween DVD having NOT Halloween episodes of Dexter's Lab and Cow and Chicken. But I got the other 2 Christmas ones.

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    So iconic, Animaniacs made fun of it. And sadly, their version had better music. I just saw it. I have that on like 2 DVD's (The Johnny Bravo Season 1 and the Second CN Christmas collection). I think it's Tom Bosley from Happy Days. I know it's not Ed. Definitely not.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    This wouldn't be the first time. Remember, the Doug movie was supposed to be DTV. Some of the crummy cheapquels too. But it's got an August release date. After the Smurfs too. I don't see it really doing all that well until it hits DVD anyway. It really doesn't seem like that interesting a...

    Ricky Gervais in Talks to Star in 'Muppets' Sequel

    Closest thing is Dark Crystal, but even then the puppets are overdubbed with different actors in some cases. I'd love to see an all Muppet movie, but let's face it. It's fan only appeal. Not to mention this. Look up ANY Muppet movie on DVD on amazon. They always list the human leads. I've...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    It's a great cartoon, but that's sad morbid. I like funny morbid. I bought a set of M.U.S.C.L.E. like Zombie figures at Target. They have Christmas zombies. Even a Zombie Santa. Some of my favorite specials have been pretty morbid. Like the Zim Christmas episode, Futurama with their...

    Ricky Gervais in Talks to Star in 'Muppets' Sequel

    I just have to ask... who were we expecting to be in the film? Gervais is a big name celebrity. I don't see how he's such a big problem when the last couple telefilms before the Muppets had C listers (except for Quentin Tarrentino). As long as it isn't another dated Kelly Osborn style cameo, I...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    You're lucky. You didn't see it. Yeah, I'm going to complain and then wind up seeing it and maybe liking it... but it's a pretty stupid concept and a desperate attempt to get that sweet, sweet Cars money. Dreamworks went back to it's Sharktales roots for this one. I just hope Peabody and...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    The first Chipmunks movie, poor casting of Dave aside, was actually pretty enjoyable. David Cross pretty much carries the film. The second one was meh, a good portion of the movie was good, but the Dave's Nephew stuff was terrible and seems pasted in last moment. I refuse to acknowledge the...
