    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    All I want to know is this... Are these going to be paper crafts? Cuz if they are, forget it.

    Rumor: Studio DC continuing in 2012

    Parody doesn't really count. Especially when it's a different branch of Muppets not owned by Disney. I'm talking an official mash up, the way Darth Tater was a legal collaboration between Hasbro and Star Wars, as they have the license to make Star Wars toys. Only more like a TV special or...

    Overused Songs in Movies or TV

    Anything, when used right, can be funny. The use of same song in Yogi was gratuitous. I swear the audience was full of prudish parents complaining about the ratings system... and they ALL uproariously laughed at CGI Yogi dancing over it. The very same people who would have probably charged...

    Rovio Is Teaming Up With Marvel To Create Angry Birds Movie

    Nerd culture in general. They just do NOT understand what makes "geeks" tick. They add a computer hacker to EVERY show out there, and the writers have NO CLUE how computers work and throw a bunch of techno-jargon that's nothing more than techno gibberish and double talk. And how many *&^%...

    Rumor: Studio DC continuing in 2012

    Exactly. Studio DC was made back in the day when Disney wasn't too sure about what they wanted to do with The Muppets, so they shipped them with already popular Disney Tween Pop shows to try to sell The Muppets to a younger audience. The movie was more or less a success because it made back...

    Pink Animal's Everywhere!

    Yeah, basically what I said, but more eloquently. And with examples. I really liked the coloring on the Palisades figure. It was a much duller magenta that suits the puppet a little better. And they managed to remember those Orange strands of hair around his eyes, too. Quite a bit of the...

    2013 Muppets Wall Calendar

    It's two separate product entries, and it seems they're both American or at least ones that they can sell in America on amazon. Hopefully The Muppets Calendar is the one we'll all see in stores. Especially since the other one has a MUCH older logo that Disney stopped using since the film was...

    2013 Muppets Wall Calendar

    WAIT a second... Turns out there's another Muppet Calendar?!?! And WHAT?!?! It has better, new poser pictures including one with Walter?! Though that Bunsen and Beaker is STILL overused. Everything else is fresh, and some designs are the same as the bag I posted. How the heck are...

    Overused Songs in Movies or TV

    Any movie that has a dog in it... every trailer for those movies invariably uses Atomic Dog by George Clinton or the terrible Who let the Dogs Out. Secondly, I find the Rocky montage ripoff overused, but for some reason, Eye of the Tiger is the most overused song when they reference training...

    When you need to rant...

    Ethnicity in the media is... I dunno... I can't explain how tricky that subject is. We can't have all white casts. That's not realistic, and it drives some people who aren't Caucasian NUTS! So we have one of two options... Clumsily add ethnicity into a show, via personality devoid...

    Rovio Is Teaming Up With Marvel To Create Angry Birds Movie

    How about? Are You SERIOUS? Every video game movie ever made? Seriously, how many Resident Evil movies are there? Video Game movies on a whole SUCK! They throw out the concept, go for something banal, and say "eh, who cares? it's merchandise the same as a poorly designed T-shirt." King...

    Google Screws Us Over AGAIN...

    If it was Clip Converter, I'd be a LOT happier. But Media Converter (before it changed into the piece of crap it became) has always managed to fix that block. Youtube has been restructuring the code to make it impossible to download several times, and they managed to bypass it every single time.

    Jim Henson's Pajanimals debuts on NBC Kids Saturday July 7, 2012

    I caught some of this yesterday. All I can say is it's insanely adorable. Like Baby holding a kitty holding hamster, all wearing hats adorable. But not as nauseating. I really hope this show gets its due. Henson needs a strong puppetry based show as a major franchise, and this should be it.

    Pink Animal's Everywhere!

    Actually ANIMAL LAYERED WITH DIFFERENT SHADES OF BOTH, WHILE LIGHT REFLECTS VARIATIONS IN THE MANY STRANDS OF HAIR USED ON THE PUPPET! Much like Gonzo's nose always being blue. It's some weird color that can't be described because the light refracts on the material and causes weird color...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Not upload... just loading a video to watch. I have to restore the page several times for it to load significantly. Shouldn't take me 20 minutes to watch 2 minutes of footage.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Anyone having this problem? Videos don't exactly load anymore. The grey bar doesn't move, and sometimes I have a video up for a few minutes and only a couple seconds load. And it ISN'T a matter of connection. Even a slow connection yields a bar that goes all the way to the end in time.

    "Didney Worl" Elmo questions

    There's no question. it IS a Japanese Sesame Street plush. problem is, I don't know which one, since there's a LOT of them on the wiki... I'd say it's either one of the Japanese prize plush or some sort of cel phone strap on.

    Rovio Is Teaming Up With Marvel To Create Angry Birds Movie

    I've started to respect these tiny little "pass the time" games without too much depth to them. That's what most Atari games were like anyway. Plus, I'm starting to get a really annoyance towards long and winding video games, especially the ones that make you work for imaginary money that you...

    Jim Henson "Creature Puppets" at Chick-fil-A

    No. Not at all. If you read the article closely, you'll see it's dated last year and the books came out last October. I think I actually saw them offered, but didn't get to order one, as it was a Sunday, and even in Malls, they're closed that day. I would respect that more if I didn't love...
