    Who are your favorite filmmaker(s)?

    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...

    Are good puppeteers also good at drawing?

    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.

    Gonzo's species

    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. ;)

    This TMM line bugs me....

    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...

    Animal: Monster or... what?

    I always thought of Clifford as a catfish-like humanoid. I think Kermit called him a "Catfish-faced, purple-colored moptop" on Muppets Tonight.

    Big Bird Replica Half-finished

    The clear plastic can be reflective if shot wrong, though. Still, it is a pretty good idea.

    If you could ask...

    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 ).

    Big Bird Replica Half-finished

    Okay, two things: Awesomely incredible! What are you using for arm rods? Are they removable? I CAN'T FIGURE ARM RODS OUT! :) Great job, man!

    Puppeteer Exercises

    Maybe if you were holding a stress ball. Some of those can be fairly heavy, and you could get your hand moving.

    Pirates 3: What did you think? (SPOILER ALERT)

    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.

    Puppeteer Exercises

    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...

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    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:

    Muppet's From Space: Hidden Stars

    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...

    Muppets Take Manhattan Playing in NYC

    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)...

    Should Sesame Street continue after season 40?

    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...

    Why do birds...

    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...

    Yeah, they're only on the fourth disc. I went all over the others trying to find any.
