Re: The Muppets

Better, but still not quite there. Maybe "The Lovers, The Dreamers And Jim" to reflect that it’s about him, not from him. But I’m not sure just what you’d call a Henson film, really. The guy was just so smashing it almost defies a title.

Re: Oscar Chat 2024

I get the change, but several previous films already being voted on for BAF as well as international or documentary features kind of suggest this wasn’t really necessary? And there was nothing stopping other films from putting themselves forward for other categories, but the companies actually have ...

Re: The Muppets

I’d forgotten the name of this talking to someone the other day, and now that I see it again, "Idea Man" can’t even begin to describe Jim in a title. I don’t know what could, and "Muppet Man" is also too obvious (and the name of an unproduced biopic script), but "Idea Man" is just so…bland! Only jus...

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe

It’s gonna be better than Flash, that’s for sure (though that bar was set so low it was buried!). Loving the destroyed 20th Century Fox (yes, Fox!) logo in the background, making it clear that era's films are finished for good…well, outside of "THE X-Man" making it into this one. Too many f-bombs as...

:lol:

Very "classic Hollywood", yeah (though I’d have said more 1940s than 50s)!

Re: Upcoming animated films calendar and date changes

The fact it has a logo suggests they’re calling it The Smurf Movie to differentiate from previous Smurfs movies, but because everyone is used to saying Smurfs, THR hasn’t picked up that they dropped the s and continues to call it The Smurfs Movie. Either that, or someone is in big smurf because they...

Re: Iron Giant

When I ran this as part of our WB100 series last year, I stumbled over this commercial when picking which trailer to play in my coming attractions slot, and my jaw hit my desk! They just didn’t know how to sell the movie. Then again, they had very little interest in selling this film, or taking any ...

Re: Manga & Anime THREAD

It's simples! Hollywood still doesn’t get that "cartoons" don’t just have to be kids' stuff. Audiences get this, wanting to see all kids of stories tokd in all kinds of mediums, including traditional animation. If it’s not a CGI bubblegumfest, Hollywood doesn’t get it!

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe

I think a "movie" for D+ might be more realistic. Disney isn’t going to want to dilute its X-Men potential at this point for the intro into the MCU in a few years..

Re: The Muppets

I've always loved that still. Perfect use as a poster!

Howard's docs including the one on The Beatles have been fantastic, so no reason to think this will be anything otherwise. Not long to wait either! :D
