Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

Janice definately used to be hot, but this new puppet doesn't quite have the same aura. She's still way cool though!

Mokey I respect for her soul, and she's a cutie pie, but I wouldn't call her "hot" (ducks from Byron's glare).

Janice is still hot, just not at her peak "hotness".

And I actually embrace you in Muppet fan-ness for what you see in Mokey...guess I just see and hear a li'l more...LOL!

One thing I should mention (And, in a way, kinda elaborate on Luke's point):
We live in a different world now. With "idols" like Marylin Manson & Eminem running around, it's hard to make every project another MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN or even MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL.
Now; don't think I'm advocatting innapropriate behavior, because I'm not. In fact, I don't think "anything" the muppets have done on TV shows or in film has ben innapropriate! I mean ... You get a muppet dancing in a cage; big deal. We hear Pepe insinuate that Joan Cusack is hot; TOO HOT FOR TV! And Face it; a gay pig is just too **** funny (Plus, how many toddlers really got that joke?).
Just be thankful that in a world where rappers preach about having unsafe sex with young girls, internet porn is easier to get ahold of than, well, anything & ******* is still pumping out the lawsuits, Jim Henson's muppets are still here to make us laugh, cry and smile.

When Mickey Mouse starts sporting the occasional h@rd-on while Minnie's around, and when we get "Pepe the KING Prawn's Guide to Getting Pregnant," gimme a call...

Uh...OK....everything is white, she has supernatural powers, and Whoopi says that she "wrote the handbook of the universe," and "works in mysterious ways."

She may be referred to as "the Boss," but Whoopi is playing God.

At the imdb, it's quoted as this: "Whoopi Goldberg .... Daniel's 'Boss'"

The word "Boss" is in quotations, as in "ha ha."

Whoopi is playing God.

Good Lord

Whoopi

Ok, you really need some talking too. Personally I LOVED the idea of Whoopi playing god. She did, Kermit admitted it on TV. I thought this was brilliant and clever and hilarious. This was meant to open your thoughts and to make you less RACIST AND SEXIST MR. CROWE! There is no where I have ever seen in The Bible that has depicted God as anything more physically detailed than "male". And if you really don't find it possible that God is female, then I think you are in a very bad situation! Hey, the bible was written by PEOPLE right? Even if you take it literally, people are always bound to make mistakes and at the time as well as many years later, men dominated women, therefore resulting in the stereotyping of people of high power being men in all situations. I thought that this was very very very genuine and provided a non-religious, but highly meaningful message about prejudice. This is going outside of the stereotype and teaching people something. If this shocked you, you seem to have a problem with difference. And I don't mean to crush you here. Many of us are racist deep down and don't realize it sometimes...I understand if you have been corrupted a little, I'm just saying that you should realize that you were thinking about it in a little bit of the wrong way. Plus it was really cool how she was laid back, old fashioned, and enjoyed watchin Spongebob!!! She had good philosophy as well.

It's just meant to be fun. Whoopi was great & funny as always, and Heaven in a meadow with God's personal living room is a welcome all-too-common Hollywood version with stars and white smoke

 

[trekkie1701E]

A "welcomed alternative" to Hollywood's all-too-common version, that is

Sorry

Who says God is a man OR a woman? God is God. Case closed.

Hey, I just noticed your signature. Are YOU the writer of the "Save the Vault" petition? That was a dumb move by Disney! (Hope Henson doesn't do the same)

Whoopi as God: I think it was amusing. They needed someone funny to play the part and she did a great job. God (in my understanding) is non a man or a woman. Someone had to play the part and Whoopi worked very clean.

Scooter's outfit: I just watched the movie again and his pants were really not that short. He basically was wearing a black shirt with a tiny bit of stomach exposed and a pair of black shorts with glow bands around the waist. His dancing may have been a little suggestive, but not really. I think it was just a shock to some fan's systems. I encourage y'all to go back and watch it again. Pause it and see what the image really looks like.

Pepe's sux comment: I watched that part again and it was really funny. I'm glad they kept it.

My age: LOL! Yeah, that picture was taken about a year or so ago. It's actually the same photo I use on the new site. 10 years of jamie can be seen in an old school assignment: here I always get a good laugh at that!

Muppets Take Manhattan and Muppet Christmas Carol: If I could pick old Muppet films to model new ones out of I'd go with the first two: Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper. They really had the most spirit and steam of all their films In my opinion. The others seem luke-warm in comparison to me.

LOL. I'd love to see a Muppet film by Glass and Reggio. Unfortunately only about 20 people on the planet would get it. Kermisqatsi has a nice ring to it. I can just hear Al Du Ruiter bellowing out "KERM - ISS - QATSI" in a way only he could
