I kinda wish it gets closer to GMC's gross by the time it's completely out... but loving the fact it's at 100 mil worldwide. Still, it's the third highest (adjusted) and not even distantly. It's beaten out all the modern films and MTM. Not shabby, and hopefully the next one does better.

There's so much about modern day Gonzo I respect, but feel disappointed by. The separation with Camilla was one of them. I'm glad we've gotten back to that ever since. And I find it strange that the one project to reintroduce that was MupOz. I like how Gonzo and Rizzo became close friends...

I actually don't hate that portion at all, but it really seems that it took time out of the movie that could better solve some of the pacing issues. I'm starting to want an extra disk double set (ala Dreamworks films) with a movie made out of all the cut footage. I'm pretty sure it amounts to...

And political power... let's not forget about political power. The machinations of the prequels were all his, and all for political power. That's a message that outshines the films. Still, George made a huge mistake in the movies not giving Darth Maul more screen time... he was the BEST thing...

That reminds me of a question I was going to ask... I recently stumbled upon a Muppet Babies book and Tape recording that had Maurice LaMarche as Baby Animal (but the rest of the cast, including yourself, was the same). My question is, if you can remember, was this before or after Howie Mandel...

Highlighted to point out the huge absurdity. I have some of the first McDonalds Happy Meal toys (this shows how old I am) and they're basically plastic snap together model kids. But at LEAST they were plastic. I hate the move to activity books and paper products being "kid's meal toys" when...

There is nothing I hate more than releases that are futzed with. Syndicated versions, wrong end titles, rebroadcast revisionist end logos... I want an Inspector Gadget DVD release that kept this in tact http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyQVYDwQbZk instead of the lame 1990's Wonderful World of Dic...

I understand the desire for flow in a movie... I just don't see why cutting that out would have stopped the movie dead. Seems a lot of cuts would have given the picture a better flow if anything, maybe even to combat some of the pacing problems. Again, I agree Me Party feels like it should have...

I really can't blame them all that much. They really haven't been in charge recently... the problem with Henson will always be budget. They will always need a secondary partner to release movies and TV shows. No one wants to be that partner, and the ones we had that were turned out to be...

I'm probably the ONLY person here that's not begrudging the lack of newer characters, only because we had Rowlf and Scooter as something besides background characters standing there to say "nostalgia." Rizzo has been a huge part of the last 3 theatrical features, but it wasn't even until MTM...

I find Grim is pretty decent... I hate the Friday Night time slot for it. It seems a concept that will get better once the show goes forward. I definitely like it more than Once Upon a Time. Grim doesn't take itself too seriously, and manages to come off as something better than the average...

When Muppets Tonight was good, it was VERY good, when it was bad, it was very bad. There are some skits that genuinely worked, and usually those were the one shot parody skits like Seinfeld Babies and Co-Dependance day or even the UK bits like Fairy Tale PD, Mr. Calahan, Swift Wits, and...

All I'd want is that one scene back, and I don't think it would have slowed down the movie at all... it's, what, like 2 minutes at most? If nothing else, it would punch up the ending. Still, the pacing of the movie feels like they had a couple smaller pauses and exchanges that would give us...

I never double post to quote, but this came out just as I finished... I must add... I find it hilarious that a Transgendered voice actress went completely unnoticed, especially since she was the voice of Meowth on Pokemon. You'd think some religious organization would have been up in arms...

Essence is lightning in a bottle. The harder you try to capture it, the more you lose it. I'd rather watch something from the 60's and 70's than something trying way too hard to be just like it. Plus, frankly, I've always HATED the Brady Bunch. I understand the camp value. I love Lucy, The...

Yeah, the show is SOOOOO annoyingly based on a forced focused curriculum now. And some of that curriculum is growing up. Breastfeeding could be talked about, retroactively. Sesame is more about the transition from being a baby to being a big boy/girl. Like that Elmo dumps the pacifier...

I don't think most kids would be confused, but then again, Sesame Workshop gets over analytical on things... Still, everything just brings me back to Sesame Parenting being a more suitable place. Like a "bottlefed vs breastfed, the choice is up to you, the first time parent" type deal. The...

Yeah, I felt Hope and Faith to be too forcefully and artificially homespun, According to Jim a bit homophobic (or at least too alpha male), and My Wife and Kids... well... just unfunny. I liked Damon Wayans MUCH better in In Living Color where they actually let him be funny. But there's just...

I'd wonder if the Classic Retelling bit would work for them. I never saw CinderElmo, so I can't comment on that. Something where one of the main characters (and it's probably going to be Elmo) plays the lead, some celebrity humans play bit roles, and the rest of the cast is in supporting roles.

That was the show Hanna Barbera planned on doing. There's a Smurfs coffee table/art book that gives that little anecdote. Suffice to say, Peyo managed to have first refusal and final say and we got blue Smurfs that aren't Marx Brothers. Seriously, Jokey was ALMOST Harpo (or Groucho... I...
