Howdy

My name is Tony and I'm from Scotland.

I ws a member here a few years ago, around 2001 ish as fozziecub ( i think) and cant access my old emails but hey ho never mind.

I am a Screenwriter Student now going into my 4th Year BA Honours and was asked to do a Dissertation (10.000 word Critical Analysis) and have chosen The Dark Crystal mainly because I have always been a Henson fan since a baby and don't understand why he is not recognised as an Auteur and have not seen any Disseratations subjects that have been written about him and decided it's about time someone did something about it.

I have much respect for The Dark Crystal and Jim Hensons Vision at that time, it still impresses and amazes even though i have seen it heading into the 100th time since childhood.

I have seen a critical Analysis of Labyrinth but never one about the Dark Crystal. Is there any one out there who has done somthing similar on Jim or the Dark Crystal? please let me know, its about time i became a regular again.

Hey everyone! This is my obligatory first post, and I watched the Muppets ever since I was a baby.

Hello all seen muppets here and there for al my life, great to be in the comunity!

Hello: My name is Ronn Bohn. I'm new to the forum. I've been a puppeteer and ventriloquist currently residing in Florida, for, oh, like 30 years. And of course a Muppet fan for, oh, like forever. Glad to join the Muppet family

Hi, I'm Janice. I'm from Toronto, but now live near Boston. I've been a Muppet fan since I first saw Jim Henson. And bsides, he even had a character named Janice. Many of the movies, and the Fraggles were filmed in Toronto, and my neighbour, Fred, even got to work the arms of the Swedish Chef many times with Jim Henson puppeting(?) the head.
On Mother's Day last week, I went to an awesome exhibit called Jim Henson's World in Lexington, MA, and got to listen to (and meet) Heather Henson who had a great talk about her Dad. If you're in the area over the next month, get out to the exhibit. It's great! You can see Kermit, Ernie and Bert, but you also can see much of the artwork that Jim created over his life. What a talent!

Sincerely,

Hello again!

Hey Hey!


I joined last year but got SO BUSY I was only able to lurk for a few months. I wanted to say hello to everyone. I am a LIFE LONG Muppet fanatic. I actually have created some original puppets and characters and stories and jokes, and someday hope to make the puppets and make little videos and post them online, just for fun.

Im a graduate student and a part time Stand Up Comedian. Yes, Im serious, I do stand up comedy. More ribald, social satire and severe social criticism. Adults only. hahaha You could say that Fozzie Bear is one of my all time favorite Muppets because I FEEL HIS PAIN! I have had so many "Fozzie Moments" that you don't even know! haha

Anyway, I wanted to say hello again and hope to get to know you all better know that I have SLIGHTLY more free time!


Best,



---Chuck
