    Positive And Negative: Kermit's Swamp Years (Opinions on KSY)

    I really should wait until I see this thing, but... And we got upset at Fart Shoes... why?

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    This was found by Oscarfan in another thread. Where to begin? Where to begin? The 1990's called. They want their cheaply produced in someone's basement Barney the Dinosaur knockoff that's in the 1 dollar VHS bin back. This one one of the few times where I'd RATHER see CGI. No...

    Who wants the future Muppet movies to be...

    CGI isn't evil at all. It's a medium, and like all media, it's art when used properly. The only thing that made the overuse of CGI in Star Wars look weird was the wooden-ness of the directing of human actors (serious acting does not equal wooden acting) making the CGI characters look more...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    That's the primary concern, and I did bring that up a while ago. Of course, there are stories they can do that can take them way out of Sesame Street and on some adventure. But the question is what? Everything's pure speculation at this point. We'll probably get a plot outline several...

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    You can't even keep characters frozen in their own show while the show's on the air. It's impossible to do so no matter how you try. Sometimes this means characters get more depth, sometimes it means characters lose depth. I have that complete Powerpuff Girls set, and at the 5th season mark, the...

    Who wants the future Muppet movies to be...

    I am completely for CGI aided puppetry. I think the member is talking more or less complete and utter CGI replacement. That I'm not a fan of. If, for some reason the Fraggle Rock film gets made, and they have to have the Doozers CGI for various reasons, I'd be mixed... as long as the...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Remember how I was talking about how the Disney Store merchandise was huge spoilers? They had a 3 brothers/3 bears "transformation" set. I don't think they even attempted to keep that gag half as secret as they did the whole mother turns into a bear bit... even though they had enough...

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    I think it's possibly the home theater phenom that hurts films. I saw Disney's Tarzan on television and was less than impressed. You CANNOT freeze anything in time. The harder you try, the harder you'll fail. You can try to recapture things, but there's too many pieces of a puzzle...

    They'll have a place for him somewhere. I'm sure Marvel found a nice place for the character in the post paper world. I just don't know because I don't follow mainstream comics (they keep killing everyone off and rebooting it and starting the cycle over again... and NO Plastic Man?!?!) It...

    Who wants the future Muppet movies to be...

    I could go with a big long thing about it, but I don't think I should even dignify it with that. Simply put, a classic bunch of PUPPETS being forever replaced by CGI makes no sense no matter what. Sure, you can have the one off animated series, but that doesn't really count as anything BUT an...

    "The Muppets" isn't the Muppets

    I've said it before... This happens to EVERY single property out there. Even if you try hard to make everything the same, you'll wind up making everything different. Things DO indeed change at a certain point... even if the series is still on and has never went away. In other words...

    Positive And Negative: Kermit's Swamp Years (Opinions on KSY)

    I was here when the thing premiered, and it was a virtual crapstorm of complaints. If that doesn't scare you off of seeing a film, I don't know what does. Of course, a year later I was curious and wanted to see it for myself. I've been looking for it insanely cheap ever since.

    The Worst Sesame Street Game that Never was... Grover Music Maker.

    Yeah. He looks like he's in pain, not dancing. He doesn't translate half as well as Cookie Monster did... Of course, it was still creepy watching a giant graphic of Cookie Monster in stilted animation eating a cookie. But at LEAST that was a game.

    Positive And Negative: Kermit's Swamp Years (Opinions on KSY)

    This is the ONE Muppet movie I never got around to seeing. I never got it on DVD when it was readily available everywhere for 5 bucks, and now it's impossible to find for some reason. But I have heard nothing but awful things.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I want Animal if he's used right, like in the last film. The anger management stuff and his Sweeny Todd moment when reunited with his drums. That was brilliant. I really felt he was pasted into MFS, where he did have a sizable role, but an unnecessary one. And hopefully the new film has the...

    You know... I'm starting to wonder if I really want to see Amazing Spider-Man. I do not like Sally Field as Aunt May (I don't like Sally at all, even in Mrs. Doubtfire... actually, I have to amend that... I HATED her in Mrs. Doubtfire), and I hate to be that guy... but I don't think ANYONE can...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Yeah, the one with the cheap CGI and the wrong sounding characters? Somehow, I'd be more impressed with the movie if Cinar/Cookie Jar did it with their normal animation (only with a higher budget) and gave it a limited theatrical release like Clifford's Big Movie did. Oh... and if it had a...

    When you need to rant...

    You know... the more I think about it, I'm liking the fact that Soccer Moms are reading this book. Think about it. That's less over exaggerated media invented concerns they watch on the news. Now they won't be concerned with the thousands of ways the media has discovered that every kid is...

    When you need to rant...

    Romance Novels at least have prose behind them, no matter how pathetic it is. This is just page after page of plot-less smut. Again, one of those fan fics. And it wasn't the attention of lonely women that made this thing so "revolutionary," but rather the attention of bored housewives...
