    Personally, I rather like the idea of just plain Pillow Pals. They're basically like large scale plush now. I barely see Pillow connections at all with these anymore. Though they have this really cute Super Mario one at Target that has an opening in the back to put PJ's into. Good idea for...

    Muppet Figures: Disney Parks

    How come last time I was at Disney (last week), all I saw were the same Princess and 101 Dalmatians ones, but not these? Just wondering... were there more than one set available at your Disney Store? I'm curious, and kinda worried if this would be another Up figurine set situation.

    Cuddleuppets

    And to think a bunch of patterned, made in China, commercial kiddy puppets are more professional looking than that. But I see LOTS of pug fugly independent show puppets popping up from time to time on the internet (You Tube, specifically) for lulz. Stuff that looks like it took no talent at...

    Cuddleuppets

    The scary thing is, these things look a LOT better than most mass manufactured retail kid's puppets. They don't even need the blanket angle, they're that good. Sure, not professional TV show good... heck, I'd say better looking than crappy public access Peppermint Park type puppets. Not that...

    Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is finally happening with Henson Co.

    That depends... do you want a quality production or something that makes money? I actually liked that Indiana Jones film, for the record, but when you do a sequel, you have to strike while the iron is hot at the risk of trying too hard to recapture something that was organic. But other than...

    Sesame Street's "Singing with the Stars" Beatles Parody Spoof

    The detail is absolutely amazing here... though I wish they'd have pushed a couple things a little further. Too bad they didn't have a doll in the right corner that had a shirt that said "Welcome Dora the Explorer" or something.

    Songs You Can't Stand

    Ah yes... our old friend Nepotism. Anyway, know what song really bugs me? Moves like Jagger. As a Stones fan I must say, you may have the "moves" of Jagger, but you fail to have any song writing or musical talent on the same level as Jagger.

    Disney just shot up in awesome points

    The scary thing is, other than views on sex (that the followers actually disagree with to an extent), the Catholic Church has become pretty lefty. They want the government to be more helpful and mindful of the poor. Heck, the Pope has been denouncing the Middle East Quagmires since Bush was in...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    Absolutely... but when it comes to the field of modern pop music, she's at the very least one adapt to it. And I'm talking about the field of Kei$ha's lame emasculation pop, and L(a)M(e)FA(il)(p)O(p) that write one party rock club song that gets overused over and over. She's quyite good as a...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Who says good sequels? The goal is a profitable sequel. There are definitely good sequels out there, though. They're not all that rare, just outnumbered by films that don't need one. Still, I know the feeling of seeing a film on TV or something because I missed it and enjoying it so much, I...

    Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is finally happening with Henson Co.

    The fact is simple. JHC would have to make all those expensive puppets, find another production company to help fund it, and they lacked that big name that Del Toro brings. I'd say if Del Toro has his own production company, he'd have to do all the work and Henson would just attach their name...

    The Avengers Grosses $1 Billion Dollars

    Marvel hit a good streak with the last bunch of movies... at least the movies based off 3 of the Avengers. Iron Man was a surprise hit, Thor did well, and Captain America was a solid action film. It's a team up, sure... but the first actual movie based on a super hero team up group. Sure, we...

    The Chipmunks

    Actually, what becomes of him in the second film is pretty much one of the few things that was really funny. After losing the Chipettes, he goes onstage dressed as a little girl with two really BAD Chippete sock puppets and sings "All the Single Ladies" terribly with no understanding of the...

    ABC cancels GCB

    No one knows how to handle those kinds of shows. Heroes had a splendid first season, but even the writers agreed they couldn't keep it up. Then the writer's strike hit them hard when they finally found their groove, and they never found their footing after that. The Event just lost everyone...

    ABC cancels GCB

    That said, ABC also canceled that Pan-Am thing. What the heck was the premise of that one? All I know is they wanted to make their own Mad Men period piece. Also NBC canceled Awakew to the surprise of nobody. Come on NBC! Non-episodic genre crap with a long, drawn out storyline?! You learned...

    Weirdness Topic

    As the Italian Lady Oscar opening proved... any one of any nationality dancing like a goofball around cartoon footage will look unintentionally hilarious. However, I'd be lying completely if I didn't say some of the French versions of cartoon theme songs aren't insanely catchy. I've had that...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    It's just lazy to criticize sequels and paint them all with a brush. There are great follow ups, and Hangover 2's that just recap the same movie in a different location with a couple new characters. Dark Knight clobbered Batman Begins in the box office. It's a far superior movie, sure... but...

    ABC cancels GCB

    Family Guy was great up until the second year (inclusive) that they brought it back. Then the humor changed to convey a new audience, and the episodes suffered. Sure, there's a good adventure episode every so often, but it's just lazy. It's lazy because it's popular and there's no need to try...

    I really want Obama to dump him and make Hillary the vice president for the next election. Just for that. Obama's "my views are evolving" is bull. In fact, he wasn't going to bring it up (it's a wedge issue, after all), and Biden, being Biden, said something stupid in an interview. This is...

    ABC cancels GCB

    I'm sick of this "WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAH! Why can't we be makin' fun o' Muslins instead?" crap. The "controversy" was spread by the VERY same big mouth who claim Christianity so people will buy their books. The very same people who are so far removed from what Christianity really is, that they...
