Call me French, but I'm a Jerry Lewis fan. He is an excellent comedy director, and his movies never stop cracking me up. He truly is a brilliant comedian, and his directing/writing styles are perfect in bringing out his best, I think.
Jim Henson. I can pick almost any shot in Labyrinth or The...
When I was younger, I either wanted to be a comic book artist or a puppeteer. Not meaning to "blow my own horn", but I think I'm fairly good at drawing/painting.
The 50th Anniversary DVD interviews refer to him as a whatever. So, just as Kermit and Fozzie aren't really twins, I don't think Gonzo's officially an alien... at least not anymore. ;)
I think that's part of the joke. Bombay, India IS where you go to become a movie star, and it would probably be easier with the number of movies they make. So, the following only makes sense:
"You don't go to Bombay to become a movie star! You go where we're going, Hollywood!"
"Sure, if you...
Boober was the name of a cow.
Mokey was a childhood friend of Jim's.
Gobo is a technical term for "Go Between" (Hollywood talk).
I dunno what I'd ask Jim. I would thank him for giving me my best friends growing up (I'm pathetic :p ).
It wasn't quite as much fun as the others, I don't think. And Captain Jack didn't seem to be in it as much. Johnny Depp's performance of him cracks me up. I could watch 2 hours of just that.
I recently found a simple exercise a puppeteer can use prior to performing. It helps to keep your hands loose, strong, and your less likely to have a great amount of pain while performing. It's an actual technique recomended for people with arthritis:
Make a fist.
Rotate wrist...
Er, perhaps now wouldn't be the best time to point out that the head writer of Fraggle Rock wrote Muppet Treasure Island. :) It's actually one of my favorites, but yes, the Fraggle Rock movie should be awesome. :flirt:

They're snakes on a plane!
Your attempts to escape are all in vain.
They may wrap around you
And cut off all the oxygen to your brian!

... yeah, I got nothin'.
There are only two major things that bug me about Muppets From Space:
One: Lack of Songs
Two: I would have much rather seen Jerry Juhl's version.
Anything else I dislike is minor, so other than that, I really do like this movie. It's fun and emotional. It's a lot of what the Muppets...
I'm seeing the "almost midnight" showing of Pirates tonight. Gonna be sooooo great!
The Muppets Take Manhattan is really a wonderful movie to see in the theater. I saw it last year, and it made me appreciate the film a lot more (I don't really know why, but I ended up crying at the end)...
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I'm going to mention it anyway.
Sesame Street isn't designed for adults. It is designed for children. Yes, there are aspects of the show that adults might find appealing, otherwise it wouldn't work. But it's still a kid's show, and kids want Elmo and like the...
Actually, 42 very much applies to the question, I would assume. The question was "why do birds?" If one had an intimate knowledge of why birds do what birds do, you would find it completely unrelated to anything mankind does, other than that it is exactly the sort of thing mankind would do. If...
