The first two actually made me laugh out loud. Particularly the part in the first one where he says the, “Do or do not, there is no try,” line, and in the second one where the guy is talking about thawing the sake and the other guy says, “Do not do that without me.”
Yeah I haven’t either. Maybe he hasn’t either, and that’s his way of trying to subtly push the phrase into usage.
Seriously. And all that other crud you’ve worked on? You haven’t shared any of that either, except for the Mango commercials. And where’s that stuff Jerry was talking about? Those Star Wars edits he did that you all said were so funny? Care to share?

That Bladerunner scene was played in every promo and trailer…..and yes! It was a bloody insult when we were shown it. It had no part in the main story what so ever!
Where The Creator really got that idea was probably from something that occurred in Series Nine.

That sounds like Digi….or Lark….or-HELL! It could be any one of us fuckers right!?
I still haven’t seen The Fountain. Stub saw it and my question to him was, “What about all that super-futuristic sci-fi stuff with them floating around in bubbles?” And he said, “Oh that didn’t really happen. They were just kind of imagining it, like telling a story.” So that was enough for me. No need to see it.
It bugs me when movies do something that’s sci-fi or fantasy and play it off as just imagination. For instance, Bridge to Terabithia was annoying on many levels, and one of things I really didn’t like about it was the fact that all the monsters and magic and stuff were just imaginary. If you’re going to have fantasy or sci-fi in a movie, it should be real in the context of and setting of that movie.
It’s a similar thing to the Bladerunner scene in Back to Earth.
So for me, I don’t care how spectacular the visuals in the movie are, if it’s just imagination, if it’s outside of the actual storyline itself, I just don’t care and have no interest in seeing the movie.

One was that originally I think zombies were a Haitian thing, something to do with Voodou priests and poisons and potions and hypnotism, and Indy in Temple Of Doom always made me think of what a more realistic zombie would be like.
Yes. There’s a recent Indy book that actually explores this concept. It’s called… Indy and the Black Pearl? Let me look it up. Oh, Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead. He goes into Haiti and has to deal with Voodoo priests and a bunch of zombies and stuff. The book itself is meh, but it actually has a lot of interesting background and history on Voodoo stuff.
I have to admit I was rather surprised by the “fart shoes” joke in the trailer as well. It wasn’t something I was expecting the Muppets to do or say.
If the Muppets come out seeming like almost completely different Muppets, then it will seem like the movie guys and Disney wanted to tell their own puppet story and just decided to use the Muppets as the vehicle because it’s a well-known brand and would help to sell the story, even if they’re not really acting much like the original Muppets at all, as opposed to using their own puppets or just doing a parody, which would’ve been fun.
The problem with the article is it basically says the Muppets need to change to continue. I’m not sure I agree with that. The Muppets present a certain brand. People familiar with them expect a certain thing when dealing with them and in general like that thing. I’m not sure changing the brand the Muppets present is such a good idea.
Who needs Michael Bay or J.J. Abrams.
I laughed in all the right places.
And I concur. More special projects! More special projects now!
