OK this is a bit of stretch but I think it is (kinda) correct. Most puppet shows like "Sesame Street" are actually shot with the camera tilting upwards to help conceal the puppeteer's heads. There's a decent amount of space between the "dumpster" (or whatever it is) and the windows. Since the...

Nice to see the tribute menu up again this year. It's a sad day. People have been commenting on this in this thread too. :cry:

I love Lewis Black! His "Back in Black" segments are what first got me hooked on the Daily Show and they're usually the highlight of the week. I hope we get this up here in Canada in soon.

Not sure if there's going to be a "Remembering Jim Henson" menu this weekend or not, but I thought it was worth noting that tomorrow (Sunday May 16th) is the 14th anniversary of Jim Henson's passing. A sad day. :cry: Every year I put a small tribute up on the index page of my web site to...

I'm pretty sure that laws about starting companies vary by country, state/province and even city. Here in Ontario (which is similar to most US states) you can do business under your own name (i.e. John Smith) without a license but as soon as you're using a business name (i.e. John Smith Puppet...

Wait! I know! I know! Justin Timberlake! :zany: Let's cut him some slack guys. After all, he's gotta be ok - he's Canadian. :D

If elected, will Muley flog Sadam personally? Is he open to carpet-bombing Denmark? How about Tonga?

Hmmm....

I think they are definately wrong. Most of the big action movies this summer have had puppeteers working on them in one capacity or another (I was writing about this in my blog today). A lot of puppeteers have also gone in to animation (like Karen Prell and Mike Quinn) and the skills required...

He's got a new movie coming out this summer - The Stepford Wives. You see the trailer here.

Worth noting: Christian Bale played Jim Hawkins in a 1990 TV version made in Australia (I think). He was not Jim Hawkins in Muppet Treasure Island. He was pretty busy as a child actor - wasn't he in Newsies and Swing Kids? As for Batman-On-Film it's actually proudly spoiler-free. They...

But see if it's a joke `ya gotta put in a :p a :crazy: or throw a muffin, a penguin, anything. Then everybody knows that you're joking. Sheesh, newbies. :rolleyes: :p see how that works? ;)

Yeah, I think it's just some people don't place a priority on their email which isn't wrong, just a choice. I have people in my family who don't concern themselves with responding to email in a timely fashion.

What does this place look like? Abu Ghraib?

Actually now word from Joss Whedon is that there are no plans to do TV movies. Those rumours started because of comments a WB executive made when the cancellation was announced. Many of the cast and Joss insist there have been no discussions about a TV movie. Now with the way it looks like...

Anyone else sad to see Angel go? I just read the spoilers for the last episode (me bad) and wow, they're really taking the show out with a bang. Lots of characters from the series mythology return, people die and we finally get to see the Senior Partners...sort of.

But (despite being around for 35 years) have they ever really done a lot of Ernie/Bert street stories? They've mostly always been confined to short skits except for movies and specials. I think this was originally because Jim Henson and Frank Oz were rarely available to tape street segments.

I would just give Keeermit some time to respond. A lot of people do not check their email everyday and even some who do sometimes take a while to get back to folks. I'm guilty of that a lot because I get busy. :o I'm sure he'll respond in due course.

I was just talking to one of the folks I was thinking of and she's moved to Quebec City (d'oh!). Email me privately (you don't have that option turned on so I can't email you) and I can probably put you in touch with some people. I'd rather not post people's contact info without their consent.

Yeah, he was puppeteer who decided to go traveling the world.
