I beg to differ... as long as communites like this exist and keep the concept alive! :halo: -Gordon

Okay.. I admit it... I have a "man-crush". On Rowlf the Dog. There, I said it and I'm proud! -Gordon

Actually I think that they are trying to force them to become something that they know they can market without changing the tactics with which they do that. The suits don't want to change their formula to fit what the Muppets need. They want the Muppets to become what their marketing formula...

Honestly, I still LOVE first season MS Fozzie. The deep voice, the laid-back-ness. He actually thought he was funny and was oblivious. The more taupe fur color was appealing too. But beyond just the voice, there's a whole performance aspect that we're so accustomed to relating to. That's one...

That's terriffic! Hope it serves you well. I've been collecting puppetry books for several years. I snap up any book I can find that is a semi-serious treatise on puppetry. I avoid kid's books. I have books in foreign languages that are completely indecipherable... but it's puppetry, so...

What's the width? I might be interested in a few yards as well. -Gordon spcglider@aol.com

I've had varying levels of success in dying a decent puppet-y fleshtone in fleece. But I actually have a good system now. Start with RIT PEACH colored dye, but don't use it all. Only about 3/4 of the packet. Then add just a hint (not even a teaspoon full) of RIT TAUPE. This brings a...

But...there wasn't any puppetry. ? -G

Great stuff! Better than the gray aliens on Stargate! I like this guy! -G

Oh, absolutely. But it's a BIG difference between "channeling" and really getting the depth of a character and just doing an impersonation based on simple catchphrases and mannerisms. When someone is "channeling" a character, you can sense a motive intelligence there. It isn't just the...

Its a very interesting excercise in the art of illusion. The question is: How much are we actually seeing versus what we THINK we're seeing in the shots? My theory: Flat Eric has a forefinger and perhaps a thumb that are capable of independent "scissor" movement. Otherwise, the rest of...

Wow... Okay, Eric's Guy Smiley sounds like Steve's Kermit. That's weird. And kinda spooky.:eek: -Gordon

I'm sure that the story has been told here before, but what I learned from Jerry Juhl back in '04 was that when they brought Eric in to audition for Piggy, he asked "Which Piggy do you want? First season, second, third? Muppet Movie Piggy?.." etc. The "auditioners" replied, "We didn't know...

Good (or perhaps bad?) imagnations. Too bad they're not using those imaginations to do something constructive. -Gordon

Well, be sure to keep me informed! It'd be great to meet up during the event. If you come, you're all bringing your puppets, yes? I made the mistake of not trotting out my puppets when I went to the Muppet Auditions in LA. I should have brought one of them along at least. But I didn't know...

Thank you... I thought maybe I was overstating the obvious. -G

Groovy! Hmmm... its been a LOOOOOONG time since I was 19 so I might not know what you'd be truly interested in, but if it's clothing, cell phones, more clothing, or food, the Mall Of America is definitely the place for you. It used to have many more interesting specialty shops, but they've been...

Hi everybody! Gordon here. This time out, I'll actually be able to attend the PofA Festival when it happens this summer here in lovely Minneapolis/St.Paul MinneSNOWta! Are any of you crazies going to be in attendance as well? It'd be great to do a dinner or some-such and meet you all...

Look up "video production" or "film production" in the yellow pages. Most large cities will have at least one supply house servicing the local TV stations and film communities. -G

I am VERY excited to see ANY forward movement to having the Muppets back on the "small screen" where they belong. I hope this gives Disney an impetus to actually support a reprise of Muppets on TV. :) However, and this can be debated ad nauseam, I do not believe that the Muppets NEED to be...
