    JEEEZ! Another delay? Well, at least there's a reason and it's only a few weeks.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    While there was nothing worth commenting on after the street story, what a street story it was. Ernie, Bert AND Oscar. Nothing bad about that at all, and that's just character selection. Much like the previous episode, it had a very classic feel to it. It could have even easily been broken...

    A Real Dearth Nadir Action Figure Is Coming!

    I supposedly know someone who works at a park, but somehow they can't get me actual merchandise and they have to shop at the employee broken clearance place for some reason. Otherwise, I'd SOOOO ask him to grab that Link/Fozzwocca set for me.

    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    I'm glad whoever got me Pepe for Christmas managed to get it early enough. Like I said, hopefully the huge sales of the Muppet plush will equal more Muppet merchandise later. At the very least a restock with several new characters. Vynalmations aren't that bad a price... not that I'd pay that...

    Muppet Film and TV References

    That wasn't the point at all. it was more like subliminal marketing. When the episode was first aired, the first commercial on the commercial break of that scene was The Muppets trailer. That was BRILLIANT marketing. They ran that trailer during Glee the break after that kid sang "It's not...

    Your Fave And Least Fave Movies Of 2011?

    I'm going to have to say The Muppets is the top favorite, with Rango closely behind. I did like Kung Fu Panda 2 and Captain America... Cars 2 was pretty fun. I dug Puss in Boots, but that one was weird... I would say my least favorite was the Smurfs, had I not seen Yogi Bear New Years day...

    The Muppets is now the top-grossing Muppet movie

    Great Muppet Caper pulled in over 89 million... unless The Muppets continues to make a lot of money, I highly doubt it will beat that. It might just be close... but even at 80 mil, it beat MTM and everything beyond. It already beat the other Disney released Muppet films (MCC and MTI)... and...

    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    The only correction I'd make is that DVD's don't have special features because they're shoving them as Blu Ray exclusives. There's no call to keep charging 20 bucks per movie if there's no reason to buy it. They're willfully trying to make their own stuff obsolete. I hate how everything has...

    The Muppets is now the top-grossing Muppet movie

    I already said that and Muppet Wiki already crunched those numbers. So technically, it's only the third highest grossing Muppet Movie. if it ONLY made it to 90, it would be the second highest. Unless you crunch those numbers, it IS the highest grossing. Even then, it did better than ALL the...

    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    Everyone wants to be cheap, raise prices, cut corners and then sit back and whine about how they're not making money off everything, and they wind up passing that onto something that doesn't deserve that scorn. DVD's with no features that cost as much as the DVD's that had hours of footage (no...

    The Muppets is now the top-grossing Muppet movie

    It's almost like, what the HECK?! Everyone's complaining about how expensive movies are, but it's like they're too dang proud to see them at a matinee. There's no fun waiting until the home video and digital download. I mean, by then, everyone you know saw it, tells you how it ends... and...

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    I severely doubt Disney's to blame here... and I really doubt Jason and the rest read that exact comic arc, especially with intent to add another new character into the movie (they shoved too much into that film already). Even if they did decide to add her in, that wouldn't have been the...

    I have that problem too. That's why I refuse to say "politically correct" anymore and use the term "anal retentively correct." Sure, there's things I agree to having a separation of Church and state but they're IMPORTANT things... not piddling crap to pander to a small group that's...

    The Dream Sequence Cliche: Good or Bad?

    Sheep in the Big City hammered that hard. Anytime something unbelievably stupid happened, it meant that something was inevitably a dream, and the narrator got increasingly annoyed by everything in the episode being a dream. It's all laziness in trying to write themselves out of stupid corners...

    The Dream Sequence Cliche: Good or Bad?

    Daggnabbit, Snowth... you did an entire post and didn't mention Arthur once. A show that, let's say "borrows" recurring dream and fantasy sequence from Doug. I remember Brad Bird in the commentary of The Incredibles saying that dream sequences only serve the purpose of restating the obvious...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    I'm on the fence about that. On the one hand, I think the song could have been maybe a verse longer or something, but on the other hand, how many characters added would make the scene gratuitous? It's no surprise there's a pacing/runtime issue with the movie and at least one song was halved...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    One of Henson's major problems, and I've said this millions of times by now, is that they need someone to partner up with for even the smaller projects. They haven't had a good partner since they parted ways with Columbia after Buddy and MFS... actually, even later than that since they...

    It annoys me to no measurable extent that US Christians whine and moan about a phoney "culture war" created by pundits that spit out rambling manifesto books to further imaginary anger. "WAAAA! They don't call it a Christmas Tree!" Which I STILL don't get. No matter what anyone does some...

    Disney Store Muppet Merchandise Released

    I swear they claim oil problems for these things. Every time there's a buzz of oil prices going up, stores sharply raise the prices on the stock they already have in stores. I've seen it happen TOO many times in the past 5 years when things were starting to go south. TMNT movie figures sat on...
