    CGI & other advances: GOOD/BAD?

    I agree, and don't get me wrong. I feel that cgi does have it's place, but it does seem to be overused. I've just always had a hard time with that kinda art replacing traditional effects. Just think of where special effects would be if it hadn't been for pioneers like George Lucas. Many...

    Anyone ever hear of....

    Good news, GW. I know where a copy of Rock and Rule is. I used to work at a video store (I know. If I used to work at a video store, why the heck haven't I found those other movies I was asking about? Again, I tried...really I did :( ) and was surprised to see a copy of it on our shelf. I also...

    Starting a Puppet Team

    Bridgman? Thant must be pretty close to the border...huh? Thank for the congrats. I'm a little weirded by the whole idea of giving up my childhood to be a dad, but my wife assures me that the transition will go smoothly. Actually, I think She was telling me this while she was chopping...

    Anyone ever hear of....

    Also, while I'm on the subject, has anyone ever heard of another animated movie calle Starchaser, or Orin Starchaser, or something like that? Made around the same time as The previous title, I used to rent it at our local movie store eons ago, and now am unable to find it anywhere. It is...

    Anyone ever hear of....

    a movie titled Fire and Ice? It was an animated film and kinda reminded me of Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. In fact, I think it was a Bakshi/Frazetta production. Pure fantasy, it's one of my favorite animated films, but I can't seem to find it and worst of all, I haven't found anyone who...

    Love Stinks! (Yes, finally a thread for us)

    If anyone else were in this apartment, they would have heard sudden laughter, followed by...."Ouch..hehehehe...cripes that's funny." It kinda remind me of the time I was driving, and someone pealed in front of me. I'm trying to curb my swearing and am using alternative words that give me that...

    The subject of trilogies

    I can't believe I didn't see one of the greatest series of movies ever made, here. What about Land Before Time???? *waits...listening to the mass of crickets in the background* Just kiddin'. Batman was inspired and really brought out a side of Batman that is seen mostly in comics; dark...

    CGI & other advances: GOOD/BAD?

    Thank you. I agree with you 110%. I guess that was the point I was trying to make, too. I think you are also right in regards to it becomming more used as it gets more seamless. The audiences won't mind so much, naturally, because they will have grown up with it and anything less (i.e. make...

    Transformers Armada

    A quote from In Living Color: Hated it. It was a very bad movie with bad characters, a bad plot line, and even worse dialog. I know that it's a cartoon and is essencially geared towards kids, but come on! It lacked any of the drama the original series had and in many ways was weak as far...

    CGI & other advances: GOOD/BAD?

    Hi, all. I have a question. How many of you out there feel that CGI (Computer generated immagery) is a great invention? Here's my opinion, in case anyone wants to know. I grew up in the '80's, a time when movies were just beginning to see the fruits of computer influences. A good example is a...

    Starting a Puppet Team

    Hey there Cap. *lol* Yeah, pm means Personal Message. I didn't know that they can't be sent in this forum. Actually, this place seems pretty restrictive. I replied to a board yesterday and wanted to recant some of what I said so I wrote another reply. I went to send it but was told that each...

    Henson Stitch

    Ok. I see that I have a lot to learn about puppet making. I have never taken needle to cloth for anything. The only puppet I have ever attempted to build has a poster board understructure, cut into various shapes and then glued together in a three dimensional model. I wish I had a camera or...

    Do you think Labyrinth 2 should be made?

    What I meant to say was....."I may be underestimating todays youth..." Golly, If I'm going to be long winded, the least I could do is learn to spell or somethin' :rolleyes:

    Do you think Labyrinth 2 should be made?

    I just saw the DVD version of Labrynth. I was quite impressed with the behind the scenes look at it. I especially enjoyed the post production commentary by Mr. Henson, who shared with the us that his goal was to make a movie which was able to lift the spirits while at the same time, showing...

    Farscape: Cancelled

    I have a question, though admitedly I know little about the affair. Could this change have anything to do with the sale of JHC and or the resignation of Brian Henson of the position of Chairman of the affore mentioned company? It seems as though there is a risk of losing JHC forever. Am I...
