Jim Henson Idea Man
Remember the life. Honor the legacy. Inspire your soul. The new Jim Henson documentary "Idea Man" is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.
Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
I saw it on video a couple years ago. It was ok. Piggy tries to seduce George Hamilton, and when she misses her curtain cue John Ritter has to do the number dressed as her (complete with fake pig-nose).
I checked it out at the library. Try yours if you want to see it.
This summer I've been teaching at a theatre-themed summer camp, and doing some of the technical stuff as well. The show the kids put on required a projection for a couple scenes, and so the camp owner (who is also a public school teacher) borrowed a big expensive projector from the school...
I finally saw it yesterday!
I enjoyed it greatly. It did have some problems, but I give ULTIMATE PROPS to the filmmakers for relying so heavily on puppetry and animatronics. Computer generated Vogons would not have been half as effective, and a CGI Marvin would have been awful. CGI has come...
I just wanted to add that this method is still used quite often today, only rather than black suits, they wear green or blue chromatic suits against a green or blue screen. They fill the background in with computers. It's a variation on the japanese Bunraku style. The Muppets are quite seldom...
So it's true! People in Canada do call it "Kraft Dinner." I thought that was something they made up on South Park.
My strangest habit is pointing out interesting things Canadian people say.
They actually made a theatrical film in 1970 just after the show ended. Rather than continue the story, they started from scratch with Jimmy arriving on Living Island for the first time. I saw it on TV a couple years ago. So I don't really feel the need to see another one.
It's weird this post got so far off topic, but its fun to see some voice actor discussion. I am a huge fanatic of cartoon voice actors.
I just wanted to point out that for the past year or so the role of Bugs has been returned to Billy West, who is one of my idols. Strange to see a chracter...
I adore imdb. It has always been my go-to source for movie and tv info. True, it has the occasional mistake, but it goes by user submission and there are so many entries to manage. If you know for a fact there is an error, just report it to them.

(ME!)
You guys make me feel old. :sleep:
Waldorf: "I wish I'd studied Shakespeare when I was a kid."
Statler: "When you were a kid you could have TALKED to Shakespeare!"
Watched it before bed, and it made me dream that I was at a public Muppet appearance with Eric Jacobson as his assistant. He let me play Fozzie while he went on break. It was pretty cool. :o
It's Eric Jacobson. He performs most of Oz' characters including Piggy and Animal. Glad to know its worth watching, it won't be on here for a few hours.
I'm trying not to get too excited, I've seen more info than that on projects that never materialized.
(But just in case, maybe it's time to send them my resume!)
Monday May 16 marks the 15th anniversary of Jim Henson's death.
Where were you?
"Where were you" is something that is often asked about historical events. Celebrity deaths, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, etc. Everyone can relate to an event with their own story of how they found out...
