    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    That's because those things have always been in circulation and constantly have little facelifts done for them from time to time. Watch Frosty the Snowman sometime. You can't NOT see the redubbed version that robs us of every instance of June Foray's voice. Those are all old stand bys that have...

    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    MFC would probably never hit current television. It's (by the unfortunate standards of mainstream television) very dated looking, if the music wasn't already a problem they'd still have to edit this thing down to the nub to fit all those commercials (as we have far more now than ever before...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    There always could be an Eisnering out of the president, but unfortunately, that's in the case that his stances cause the stockholders to lose money. At this point, I'd LOVE to see some company just buy out Chick in a hostile take over, even if it means Crazy Cathy dumps everything he gets into...

    The "What Seems to Be in Store for Season 43" Thread

    The actual press release confirms that Elmo's World is going to be replaced, only to be seen in rerun episodes and a special new segment of the Sesame Street Website. This successfully ends its 14 year run, and that's 14 years too many.

    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    I don't see them airing VMX unless all they gut out all the references to NBC (which is going to lead to jarring cuts), and Muppet Family Christmas seems like a pipe dream. If they're willing to run a movie, I guess MCC would be the most likely. It doesn't necessarily say that there's going to...

    The "What Seems to Be in Store for Season 43" Thread

    Looks pretty promising. Though I don't see how mentioning Quacker Oats constitutes as a parody.

    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    There's no doubt we'll have a follow up movie. The Muppets was very low budget, and I'm wondering exactly how much of that budget was rebuilding certain Muppets. Considering how bad the investment in John Carter was (due to their clumsy handling of the marketing), I'd tend to think they'd...

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    Aw, come on. She carried a switchblade. If that's not the most adorable, and family friendly thing I can think of, I don't know what is. :halo:

    Which totally wouldn't be too bad... but the guy went a certain word that rhymes with schmankrupt multiple times.

    "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" coming to DVD and CD November 6

    Inner city, outer city, suburb... those plow guys can go [disrupted by the sound of a rushing subway train] and be grateful for the opportunity :super: In get "snow rage" pretty bad.

    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    That's why LTS had such a truncated ending, and the fact that the other Muppets pretty much disappeared for most of the project. We'd HATE to see that happen in the next film. I do not by any means mind waiting till 2014 for a quality Muppet film. The last film had at least a few years in...

    Speculation: CW interested in Muppets?

    It was postponed the first time for good reason. They would have given it a rush job. There wasn't the time to write a solid script and film the thing with the luxury of a nice long, loose schedule. That's the question... would we really want a rushed project? I think LTS was very good, but the...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Just came from it yesterday, and I have to admit, it was pretty good for a franchise Fox and Blue Sky are ramming down everyone's throats. I'm not one to say they get better with each sequel, but their storytelling does. Every segment had a clear, concise narrative, it didn't feel like they...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    I'd say something about Donald Trump, but I don't want him to spend eternity holding an angry grudge. I'm surprised he hasn't called Sesame Street the worst show on television because they parodied him that one time... well... two times. Yet there's just so much crap on him. And I don't want...

    That's a load off my mind (as long as they have it at the theater I'm going to). That's the MAIN reason I wanted to go, being a Simpsons fan since the Tracy Ullman show.

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    Both sides have problems, but we're not seeing the nasty, shadowy figures behind the curtain, EVEN when they're in plan sight. When they talk about how there used to at least be room for compromise and consensus, that's before the worst of the worst of the lobbyists started controlling favorite...

    "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" coming to DVD and CD November 6

    I also have a soft spot for Elmo Saves Christmas. Mainly because it's one of the last (if not the last) appearances of a certain reporting amphibian. And I give EW: Happy Holidays nothing but credit for doing the Nativity scene (though it still was very murky about the explanation of Kwanzaa)...

    "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" coming to DVD and CD November 6

    Which is, by the way, the only reason this thing's getting released over far superior specials like Stars and Streets Forever and Let Him Eat Cake (the one where Cookie eats ALL of Sesame Street rather than eat Big Bird's cake). Even that one Oscarfan mentioned, Out To Lunch. Please tell me...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Total Recall was a movie that wasn't that good in the first place, and became a cult hit for being campy and ridiculous and having AhhNold as the star. Why would anyone even try to remake that? The first one managed to capture some unintentional goofball lightning in a bottle. Trying to give...
