The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

A new Muppet movie

Besides Fraggle Rock, I'm a die-hard Muppet fan in general, and I was excited to learn there's another theatrically-released movie coming this fall. The jokes look good, and it seems they're bringing back practically all the original Muppet characters.

PS: Be sure to look up the parody trailers that were released before this one. They're a riot!  :)  :DD  :lol

That is awesome that after 25 to 30 years later they're making a new Muppet's Movie. I'm looking forward to this movie. The jokes sound pretty good. And I think the actors they picked are good. So I'm looking forward to the release date.

The mock trailer of Hangover for this movie is absolutely priceless. I'm so excited that the Muppets are making their return to the big screen.

I absolutely loved watching The Muppets when I was little, as well as Fraggle Rock with my sister while we were living with our mother. I'm really stoked about this movie, and I can hardly wait for it to come.  :DD

Personally hoping for Fraggle Rock cameos, since the FR movie just got cancelled....

I remember watching the Muppet show and the first few movies & the Fraggle Rock series also.  I wonder if it'll be a good movie or not, I guess time will tell.

Just saw the movie 2 nights ago, and here are my thoughts on it:

Though I've seen so far 9 movies this year that, with 1 exception I enjoyed, there were only 2 movies I was really looking forward to in 2011: Scream 4 and The Muppets.

And let me tell you, both of those movies did not disappoint. The Muppets was a great movie, bringing back the magic of the past movies and the Muppet Show.

The jokes were great and not obnoxious, unlike the Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. I laughed at the kidnapping of Jack Black, Gonzo's "Blow up his business" button, the picking up the gang montage, and many other jokes I don't want to give away here.

I liked the main human actors in this, and more importantly, how they didn't take the spotlight away from the Muppets themselves, and I found the songs to be some of the best I've heard in a movie for a while.

Overall, I highly recommend the Muppets and I give it a 9.4/10  :)

I saw the film as well.  It was very funny.

It also has a cameo by Aria "Ducky" Curzon, so there's another reason for LBT fans to see it.

Well, I was set to see this BEFORE knowing that.  Only makes me want to see it more now.

I'll see if I can set up a day with the family so we all can see it.  Like I said, all of us are Muppet fans to some degree. :)
