Movin' Right Along
I have a sudden urge to see the Muppet Movie. Maybe it's because I've been listening to a CD of Muppet Show stuff... or maybe it's because it's one of the greatest movies of all time.
Jim Henson is one of my biggest heroes. That guy really had things going. Seriously, I consider him a genius. Look at everything that he touched; it's all excellent. Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Star Wars, The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Muppet Babies, just to name a few. This is not just quality programming, this is platinum stuff. I just love everything he did. Not only that, but he really networked well. He worked with George Lucas and Steven Spielburg back before when they were making good stuff. Look at the muppets before he died... who can say anything bad about them? I dunno, I just think that he must have had the most fun doing what he did... a mixture of raw 80 proof imagination, spiced up with humor, and then captured in whatever media it happened to be. Anyway I've always liked Henson, but now that I am really looking to move in that direction professionally, he gets on a whole new level of admiration from me.

P.S. My weasel critique didn't go bad at all. It was a good critique for the whole class actually. When I am finished making changes to the picture, I will post an announcement here and update the link below.
