    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    There's a few things about the movie I've wanted to comment on since seeing the film but haven't. I'm surprised that the "Poopenburghen" conversation wasn't in any of the trailers. Especially when it seems like kids movies that don't have much bathroom humor end up having what few bathroom...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    The third movie in a superhero movie franchise also seems to be unsuccessful, even when they are successful at the box office (but sales can be different from opinions). The third Superman and Batman movies were both in the top 5 at the box office for their respective years, but many fans seem...

    The Great Muppet Caper VS. Muppets Most Wanted

    Really? You mean the scene before Miss Piggy's first scene, the scenes with Nickey and Lady Holiday at the supper club, and the scenes with Nicky and the models planning and breaking in (which are intercut with Muppet scenes)?

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    I like the movie, but I like the first two better. I like the second film best, and the third one least. I don't think people hate it as much as it is almost everybody's least favorite in the trilogy. James Rolfe included it in a video on the top ten sequels that are not as bad as everybody...

    How The Muppet Movie paved the way for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    That article lists Back to the Future among the '80s movies with a special credits or post-credits sequence, but none of the Back to the Future movies have special end credits at all.

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    It's the only Jay Ward cartoon movie. Despite having CGI and animated sequences I consider Rocky and Bullwinkle to be a live-action movie.

    I Predicted the Future!

    I don't know about you, but since this commercial came out, nearly every time I went to the movies, I only saw the ad once. But last week when I saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman, I didn't see it at all (maybe I came in too late, maybe it played while I was in the restroom, dunno).

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I meant that the book said he chose not to be a director on The Muppet Show. I listed the wrong series. It's interesting how sales of Muppet merchandise helped fund bigger projects like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and kept the company in business when it was struggling. In fact it was...

    Cartoon all stars to the rescue.

    It was done sarcastically in "A New Leaf", but I think drugs were taken more seriously in "Steroids to Heaven".

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

    So back in the 1980s, Disney had an official list of animated features to NOT release on home video or television, since the company was still rereleasing those films in theaters, but eventually everything on that list got released on video by the late-1990s (I'm guessing because home video had...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I wonder about the "temporary replacement" thing, since both Aesop and Sons and Dudley Do-Right have the same number of episodes (39), and I'm sure Dudley Do-Right was a hit. Not to mention that Fractured Fairy Tales and Peabody's Improbable History have 91 episodes each. If, say, Do-Right...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I wonder if Henson ever made any official pictures of the Solid Foam band, besides early photos that featured Animal and Zoot as part of the band. It seems like something they should have done. I also wonder if the company made any non-still pictures from any segments. It seems like almost...

    If You Could Bring Back One Lost Character...

    I'd revive Digit. But if Disney wouldn't allow for any Jim Henson Hour characters to return (Disney wouldn't allow any in Muppet Snow White, and only allowed a few in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia), then I'd bring back Louis Kazagger.

    Most Absurd Things About The Toy Industry

    Speaking of Mario, there seems to be quite a few Mario toy lines, from different companies. The majority of current toys seem to be from K'nex, but there's also a collection of figures and playsets (I think they're called "Micro-playsets", though there are also "delux" playsets) from Jakks, and...

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

    Often, when you ask somebody something, or need to talk to somebody, they'll say "just a second", but then you usually have to wait more than just a second. So in "waiting talk", how long does "just a second" actually last (today somebody told me they'd talk to me in "just a second", I wanted to...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    It's been widely sourced that the ending (at least the parts with the kids) was filmed much earlier. I'd read about a year ago that the ending was filmed in the second season, then last week read that it was filmed during the first season. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if every scene with...

    Tales of the Tinkerdee

    I thought that The Great Santa Claus Switch had already been uploaded years ago (and I still haven't watched the whole thing). That introduction sequence (from The Dick Calvett Show) with images of the characters appearing as they are announced looks like the images were taken on the set...

    Fan Service Before 2001

    Since the past decade, it's been a lot more common for Muppet productions to throw in references to past productions for the fans to enjoy. The last two movies have all kinds of nods to past productions (and a few similarites to past productions that may or may not be coincidence), but we also...
