    Frank Oz' Muppet documentary "Muppet Guys Talking" premiering at SXSW on March 12, 2017

    I didn't realize that the picture was from this documentary. The initial report involved multiple upcoming films, after all.

    Frank Oz' Muppet documentary "Muppet Guys Talking" premiering at SXSW on March 12, 2017

    I wonder which five it'll be, besides Frank Oz. I could see Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire being involved. Maybe also Louise Gold and Kathryn Mullen. But I don't think it says they are all Muppet performers. It would be a surprise if John Lovelady was among them. I also wonder if this might be...

    Your Thoughts: "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story"

    I finally got a copy of the movie recently and have watched it. And it is a great documentary. That conflict stuff with Jon Stone is interesting. It's something I've thought about for years. It seems like there's hardly anybody involved with the show that he had issues with, the only other...

    Questions about anything

    Sometimes, a journalist or critic might "recant" opinions expressed in a past article, which means they take it back. But is "recanting" really good enough, especially if the public is aware of the original opinions? The original article might be a lot better known than the recant, after all.

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Reunited by Peach and Herb. I was searching for the "what song can you not get out of your head?" thread while listening to this, found this thread, and figured, well, I AM listening to it as well...

    Muppetzine thread

    I remember a long time ago on Muppet Wiki, the topic of which version of the Sesame Street 25th anniversary special came first - the home video version or the PBS version - we were talking about the fact that the video had a 1993 date though some pointed out that some videos are known to have...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Last week the Mindset posted its annual article asking for contributors. I decided to use that opportunity to ask in a Facebook comment that I had sent a lot of articles last year that have not been put on the website. Instead of an answer (whether it's a reply that the Mindset didn't get my...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Okay, so just recently, I learned that George W. Bush won a Razzie Award for "worst actor" (or was it "worst supporting actor"?) for the movie Fahrenheit 9/11, but does he really qualify as an actor for that? As far as I know, all of the George W. Bush footage in that was taken from news...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Just after I posted this list, I thought that I should have included John Hurt, it would have been cool to see him interviewed by the Mindset or Tough Pigs, and then that night it was announced that he passed away.

    Top ten things about Dumb and Dumber that I either musunderstood or was confused about when I first saw it. Some of it I think I understood after a few viewings, while others took years for me to fully understand (some not until a few years ago). 10. Why Harry wouldn't stop the car when Lloyd...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Recently I watched an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show that I had not seen in years, "Farmer Ted and the News", and I'm trying to understand why the station, especially Lou Grant, has a problem with Ted starring in local commercials. I know that Ted wants his contract changed so he could do...

    Favorite Villains in Fiction?

    And also, how could I forget about Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Steelbeak from Darkwing Duck? Or Gaston from Beauty and the Beast? Or Scar from The Lion King?

    The "You know what?" thread

    In Back to the Future Part II, 2015 Biff figures out that Doc built a time machine. But wouldn't it be great if he'd figured out at that point that Marty and "Calvin Klein" are the same person, only in different points of time? Maybe he could have even told his young self to give "Calvin" an...

    Favorite Villains in Fiction?

    I forgot to list Biff Tannen from Back to the Future. Though now that I think of it, I think my least favorite version of Biff is the 1955 version, which is the second most villainous (after the 1985 A version).

    The Muppet Mindset

    I remember you saying that a few times. And yet it seems since then that there have been more days when there's been no new posts than there have days of multiple posts (I actually forgot that they switched to a new format that allows it). Seems there's been quite a few weeks recently (and...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I am a bit worried. In the last half of last year, I have sent quite a few articles that have not appeared on the site. Not sure if Jarrod didn't get them or if they were rejected (I don't think any were "out there" in comparison to other articles I've done). Now some of my articles I sent in...
