See, I kinda agree with the idea that the Muppets have always done classic stories... think of "Hey, Cinderella! and "The Frog Prince", and then there are the Robin Hood and Alice in Wonderland episodes of TMS, the Rowlf as Merlin segments on The Jim Henson Hour, the old Muppet Press Robin Hood...

That beautiful woman's voice is about all he had going for him..... that guy was FREAKY!

Oooooooh.... I can't wait!

Well, if there's one thing that Batman Begins and The Dark Knight do well, it is not be concerned with previous movies. They really make the point to do things their own way, regardless of what's come before.

Which is nonetheless a curse....

Uuuuh... how about the fact that Kermit isn't even a cartoon character?

See, I thought that it wasn't until the 80s or so that the comics started getting grittier and darker. I thought that the Adam West Batman was fairly in tune with the original comics, and Tim Burton and the folks at DC reinvented the story into a darker mode sometime in the 80s. Looking back at...

What's brown and sounds like a parrot? A mockingbird sitting next to a parrot.

I liked not knowing the Joker's backstory. Who he is and where he came from don't matter to the movie, all that matters is that he's psycho. I think it makes it more powerful to not have the typical misunderstood, "they-pushed-me-to-it" villain. If you can't understand why the Joker is the way...

I like those ideas.

So ever since seeing it, I've been speculating on the possibilities of a third installment. I'd like to see the Riddler show up in a cameo, as a copycat of the Joker that Batman takes down early on. But other than that, I'm having a hard time seeing how most of the great villains can fit into...

The 80s hair made her look old. But then, I tend to think that 80s hair made everybody look old.

Aah, Leland. As Gonzo says, "I'm going to go back there someday." And as muppetperson said, the Center for the Puppetry Arts in Atlanta is wonderful. Of course, that's not on the west coast, but wouldn't you rather go to Georgia than California anyway? :p

So, uh... it's been about fifty-nine weeks. Is yours still coming? ;)

Okay, so I know I've already posted twice, but.... One thing I particularly liked about this film was the fact that it was more or less an ensemble piece. Neither Bale nor Ledger carried the film, but instead the bulk was equally carried by Bale, Ledger, Caine, Eckhart, Freeman, Oldman, and...

Don't wait for the DVD! You need to see it on the big screen! And yes, the Joker is insanely creepy, but it works. I don't know if Heath Ledger lives up to all of the Oscar buzz, but he really is very good and this role is such a departure for him.

So I just returned from watching The Dark Knight and it was the best Batman movie I've ever seen (and I've seen 'em all, ladies and gentlemen). I expected Heath Ledger to be great after all the buzz, but Aaron Eckhart was a terrific surprise. They brought a lot of depth and vitality to the Joker...

Oopsie-daisy... sorry and thanks for the head's up. :)

The artwork is amazing.

So now that everyone's had some time to familiarize themselves with TMS season 3, let's have the Best, Most Surprising, and Most Disappointing discussion! You know how it works... simply tell us which guest stars you think falls into each category and why. Feel free to throw in any other...
