    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    There is no call to remake or even sequel any of the other movies... though this film was an open semi-sequel to the first (yet referenced MTM heavily), it wasn't quite a direct sequel (even though it did reference the events of that one even more heavily, but referenced it also as a movie)...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    Eh... I was destined not to like this one very much anyway. You'd think with Leela being the Yoga leader (whatever that's called, I don't care), they'd explain the Indian culture of it to some extent. I wonder if Telly's elbow being heavier than the other is some sort of inside reference to...

    Sesame Street at the Macy's Parade - 2011

    A boy consisting of a large blue, crudely sewn together balloonish head and a red and white striped body. It had the Tim Burton signature demented look all while managing to look cute.

    New Muppet Sippy Cups

    I just hope us adults get some nice Bar glasses at some point like they have for TMNT, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Simpsons, Rainbow Brite, and I swear Sesame Street have. There were even Fraggle Rock shot glasses at one point.

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    After seeing the film, I honestly can't say I know what kind of movie I want them to do next. Cheapest sounds like it could work, but it would have to be really absurd, and that might turn the younger kids off. But it's just experimental enough to work as a second film... it would have been a...

    Frank Oz worked on a new Muppet movie script

    It's not that he was trying to hurt the film... that's what no one takes away... the "I don't want to be a grouch and ruin the movie." He just didn't like the initial direction... that's it. The quote has been taken too far out of context when it was Monday Morning Quarterbacked by everyone...

    Walter Puppeteer Auditions

    Walter's supposed to be... wel... twerpy. The fact that the character's such a small little twerp that's inexplicably related to the extremely tall Jason Segal (who, just a week ago played a convincing Andre the Giant on SNL). I don't think a more complex looking puppet (like Johnny Fiama)...

    How well does the new movie have to do?

    Didn't see it, didn't really bother, didn't quite care. I never saw the original either, so it would be kinda unfair to judge. I didn't even get to see Rapunzel, and only saw that tepid Yogi thing because I was too angry that day to see a good movie and hate it because I had a bad day... and I...

    Early Reports: Looks like Muppets will be #2 (next to Twilight)

    It's popular with an annoying fan base, sure. That's all it needs to be to get that kind of Box Office. The Muppet's TRUE telling of value or worth is if it could come in before Happy Feet, Arthur Christmas, and Hugo. It's a family movie, and it has family movies as competition. Twilight is...

    New Toy Story Short Celebrates Kid's Meal Toys!

    This seemed more Toy Story like than the last one. Any character and any franchise could have been re-written to fit that sort of thing. In fact, Monsters Inc would have been funnier, making a monster like vacation... but this one spoke to me as a Kid's Food toy collector. I mean, it's...

    Is anybody else just sick of Ice Age?

    Not now or will I ever see Surf's Up. The only actual animated movie released by Sony I'm going to see in the near future is that stop motion Pirates movie I saw a trailer for before the Muppets. I did grab a Surf's Up penguin figure from a McD's after a kid left one and didn't come back or...

    New Muppet Sippy Cups

    Batman and Spider-Man are also used on Sippy cups. I think they're just testing to see what demographics the merchandise will do better with. No one had that complaint about Easy Readers. Plus, any of us that have young kids will no doubt grab these up. After this franchise is completely...

    Anyone Find The Lack Of Muppet Merch Disturbing?

    I really think that Disney has underestimated this. But there isn't all that much more I wish to have seen. We could have easily got nothing but a Kermit and a Piggy. I'm still completely flabbergasted that Smurfs movie stuff sold out for a few weeks after it came out... I didn't see anything...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    A grown woman said "It wouldn't feel right if someone didn't say [impersonating Animal] 'GO HOME! GO HOME!'"... Kids were shouting Mahna Mahna! And not even little ones... had to be 9-10 or something years old, when they start to turn into cynical jerks. The entire air of the theater (this was...

    Is anybody else just sick of Ice Age?

    That was pretty good too. I enjoyed it. They stuck SOOOO many bloody NBC promos in the back (not of any of the shows, thankfully, but Gru did steal the jumbotron from Times Square and it of COURSE had the NBC logo on it) and had a lot of NBC/Universal movie and TV stars as the voice cast...

    What the "Stop Online Piracy Act" could mean for us USA folks...?

    All I can think of is the MBTA when I hear that. As bad a dictator Mussolini was, the idiots that run the T are just... I mean... WOW the stupidity. Be thankful you don't have to suffer our transit system. Everything's always out of order or under repair.

    Sesame Street at the Macy's Parade - 2011

    Murray got an actual line in the song. That show's how popular the character has become. No Ovejita with him, though... Still, for me the highlight of the parade was the New Sonic the Hedgehog balloon. I WISH that was the Macy's annual plush toy, but for some reason it's the Aflac duck...

    Possibility of Fraggle Viral videos?

    I saw that... they're uploaded by Lionsgate (I think their UK branch)... and fat lot of good that does me since I have the first season. But it's a start.
