    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    I don't know why it didn't take when I typed it... but like I forgot to put in the post above, right next to the very article on cinema blend was the story: On The Set Of The Five-Year Engagement With Jason Segel And Emily Blunt. Basically, you can't even talk about a movie he was in without...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Well, if you look at the Lorax's point of view, it almost seems to me that he knew EXACTLY what could go wrong, and was very much that fearful that one little deed, even one with very good intentions, could lead down a very bad path in the end. Almost like he could sort of tell that Onceler...

    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    Luckily I got mine for Christmas. The thing was going for $99.99 on amazon, no fooling. That should have sent a stronger message that there is a demand for Muppet stuff. Even when my local Disney store got Gonzos and Fozzies back in stock (and there were a lot of them), they didn't last too long.

    Speculation: Potential Sequel for "The Muppets"

    The toughpigs article quote has a very good reason... TIME it was nothing short of miraculous that he even had time to write and star in this movie when he's in like everything, especially a highly popular weekly television sitcom. I'm sure he also has at least one other project he'd work on...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    I watched the special recently, and the Lorax almost comes off as a jerk (or rather a "GIT OFFA MAH LAWN!!" type) when he first shows up, shouting at the Onceler to leave the trees alone, when the Onceler just gently picked the tree tufts and hand knitted one Thneed. You almost feel like...

    Scooter at The TED Conference

    "Nerdy" by the definition of someone who has tastes outside of "the norm" (whatever that is) and is passionate about it. Or is that geek? I forget... the words are almost interchangeable. He really seemed to geek out over some of the guest stars. So it would be only natural to be that...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    The Grinch is a much different sort of character... The Onceler is someone who was a visionary who was so blinded by his own greed he brought the downfall of himself and others. The Grinch just feels alienated and hates the Whos. Like I said, I'm going to complain, and moan, and groan about...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Yeah... it's like it goes from human back to fish looking thing crawling back to the sea. It's Devolution if anything.

    Scooter at The TED Conference

    In context, Scooter has always been nerdy. Having him get annoyed at the countless techie-wannabes that think everything's better if it's all made on computers is completely in character... heck it's in character for US! How many times have we seen someone pop on the board JUST to say, "Sure...

    Can we PLEASE implement a rule against bumping old threads?

    "Okay" or "Yeah" isn't talking about a subject. Like I said, the key to internet conversation IS conversation. If someone were to bump it up and say... "OH man! How come this didn't happen?" or "Is this thing actually happening, because this is the first I'm hearing of it." That leads to...

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    The bigger question is... how the heck come these start up or indie DVD companies have a complete series of something on DVD for less than 30 bucks and turn a profit, but the mainstream companies are stuck in 1999 land of several episodes on a single disk? Are those licenses THAT cheap or...

    Can we PLEASE implement a rule against bumping old threads?

    The funny thing is, it IS an unwritten rule of forum conduct. Some just refuse to follow it, so it isn't so much of an implementable act, but rather something that is to be gently discouraged. If you can gently pull someone aside in a conversation and say, "can you please be careful of that...

    Scooter at The TED Conference

    I'm just amazed how big Scooter came back after David Rudman became his performer. But it's also great they address the whole CGI/vs Puppetry debate. After all, both are medium, both are a form of performance art, but much like painting and photography, neither should replace the other due to...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Well, Fern and George became characters very early on. At least since the first 2 seasons. At least they've become pretty good characters with some pretty good storylines. I like Fern's nasty streak of passive aggressiveness (like the episode where everyone drew nasty cartoons about...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The Simpsons pulls that crap all the time. 60 year old Flanders? Principal Skinner is really Armin Tamzarian... something that even his voice actor was disgusted with (This quote is from wikipedia: "That's so wrong. You're taking something that an audience has built eight years or nine years...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    It's not just the "ooh, look at what slipped through the censors" Animaniacs "Finger Prince" line... it's stuff like the episode of Arthur "Never, Never, Never" where they snuck the entire plot of King Lear into a deceivingly simplistic story of D.W. and her little friends. There was a much...

    Muppet Legos

    Yeah. I don't see why they don't sell separate Lego figures in more places more often. Licensed ones, I mean. I'm kinda disappointed the Batman characters only came in huge sets that were available like for 3 months. They are fun collectibles and everything, but I have no desire to buy and...

    Muppet Legos

    If they can have Prince of Persia Legos, they sure as heck can have Muppet ones. A Muppet theater set, a backstage set... the possibilities are endless. My one little problem with Legos, though... they rarely sell the figures separately (unless they're on keychains or magnets and only at a...

    Can we PLEASE implement a rule against bumping old threads?

    Yeah... what it comes down to is thus.... On the one hand, you don't have multiple threads on the same topic. But when someone posts something in an old thread based on a dead project, it causes confusion and misleading hopefulness about an update. Like I said, you never know who can pop in...

    Steam Punk Sesame Street gang t-shirt....

    Things aren't completely obsolete until everyone can afford them. Especially since a lot of people are on budget cell phone plans and only use them in emergencies. I don't see why anyone using a phone for that purpose would need an iPhone that's so much more than a phone that they rarely even...
