    The Smurf's Triumphant return!

    I can give them at least a "they tried." There's so much of the cartoon that was specifically adult humor, so much so that I still think it's hard to believe it was considered a kid's show even then. The pacing was right, the self deprecating humor was right, referencing the fact they were in...

    The Smurf's Triumphant return!

    The thing about the "remakes" is they never did any good anyway. Even GOOD movies, like Robert Altman's Popeye was lambasted by critics, when frankly, it was closer to Thimble Theater than any of the cartoons made after the 1940's ever were. And, YES! I liked the Flintsones films... both of...

    Cars 2

    I liked how they weren't screamingly obvious, and the same over-fished Shaken, not Stirred lines. I mean, I agree... these are weak films in the sense that an A- report from an A plus student when most of the other students, you're lucky to GET an A- out of... some students just coast by with...

    The Smurf's Triumphant return!

    It was. They were. That's no excuse for making a garish, atrocious film that will appeal to nobody. I hope a studio exec has to be fired because of this. There is NO CALL for this movie to be an illegitimate Chipmunks movie. And not even the "good" one... the terrible second one. Fans of...

    More fear than greed... but the guy wants to sell books... so greed surely has to add into the equation. Yeah, but we don't train our 3 year olds to use machine guns and uzis. it is too opnely discussed, but if anything else, our kids are treated like kids, and not the next generation of...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    Loose? It doesn't exist is more like it. Nor does it need be. Though, to be fair, VMX DID reference The Muppet Movie, and I wouldn't be surprised if this mentions any of the other movies. But troop of actors is basically all that fits. I choose to ignore the Muppet Kids book series...

    Muppet Babies DVD Box Sets

    Disney doesn't think anything has a market unless it's a 90 minute movie. They refuse to release their hottest show on television, Phineas and Ferb in box sets or even collected volumes of more than 6 episodes... what does that tell you?

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    I'm not going to bother if it's not Uncut. That is SUCH bullcrap. Nick should keep its distance with it's prude scissors from these releases. I hope they get TONS of complaint letters for this and future releases aren't hacked for the benefit of the Amish. This is intended as a 20-something...

    The Smurf's Triumphant return!

    I'm so ticked off, I'd consider buying a bootleg so I can see it without giving any one who worked on this the satisfaction of having me pay for it. Even Neil Patrick Harris, who IS Legen...wait for it...... Dairy! shouldn't get my money for this. But chances are I won't. I did consider a...

    NEW Muppet Poster

    Okay... here's my fixed up concept... the "Less is more" Not extremely professional, took me minutes to do, couldn't think of a clever text, but now the characters look a lot less flat, and they seem to pop better. Bunsen, Teeth, Beaker, and especially Statler and Waldorf just cluttered up the...

    NEW Muppet Poster

    I'm going to experiment with this poster too.... I think I just realized something... Her face is slightly thinner, and her eye is at a slightly different angle? That it? it is subtle and I had to give it the unfocused eye test, but it does look better overall.

    Winnie the Pooh

    I found this endlessly beautiful, delightfully funny, pretty much what Pooh SHOULD be (not being a CGI Superhero/detective). My only complaint is that it was all together too short. Though, I'd think any added elements to the story would have made it clunky. It has a pretty small run time...

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    I wonder if he did it naturally or Henson actually trained him. I need to see the DVD again with commentary, they must say something there. And let's not forget, if it wasn't for that movie, there wouldn't be this movie. In case anyone wonders, YES, this was played with Winnie the Pooh...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    There really seems to be a lot of care and time that went into making this film, and the writers and directors had a symbiotic relationship. The complete opposite was said for MFS, and honestly, with that attitude all around, multiple writers, and a hapless director who ravaged the script, it's...

    Well, lemme just put it this way... Big Bird doesn't give you a test at the end of your show that counts for 60% of your final grade. So there are 2 points made for and against. Learning isn't necessarily fun, but in a sense it also doesn't have to drive kids crazy and create such painful...

    Yeah! Why would ANYONE prefer a loving giant yellow bird and his wonderful friends using magic and mayhem to old hags that yell at you everytime you draw the letter A slightly wrong or coloring outside the lines? Seriously, remember that episode of the Simpsons where Bart goes to Kindergarten...

    NEW Muppet Poster

    To steal someone's revue of something else entirely... The Smurfs is something that if you don't like as a kid, you'll never acquire a taste for it as an adult. But then again, I kinda think, retroactively looking at the show and the comics, that Fred Silverman and Hanna Barbera sort of ruined...

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    I don't get why no special features is the new it thing.... it's just cheap, but it's not going to stop me from buying it. Though, you'd think Joe Murray would knock down their door to put an interview or something on that disk. At least interview Tom Kenny, as that was his first Nickelodeon...
