Sesame Street Characters Reimagined as Horror Film Icons

New York artist Isaac Bidwell created a series of illustrations titled, Puppet Massacre, where he re-imagined several Sesame Street characters as horror film icons.  Check them out, they're pretty cool.   I especially love Elmo as Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street series and Big Bird as Pinhead from Hellraiser. LOL.

Movies to Watch: The Muppets (First Full-length Trailer)

Woo-hoo!!!  Finally! a real Muppets Trailer has come out, and I'm super-uber excited!  As you may recall, a month ago, Disney released a fake trailer during the Pirates of the Carribean movie, titled "Green with Envy."  Well, it isn't fake this time...

From my previous post:

On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, US, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10-million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit the Frog reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, "The Muppets" hits the big screen November 23, 2011.

Movies to Watch: Green With Envy

It's been 12 years since we last saw them...







12 years since we last heard from them...







and...







12 years since they arrived from space...







and just when you think they're long gone...

If you went to see Pirates of the Carribean over the weekend, you may have caught a trailer titled, "Green With Envy."  It was a fake movie trailer created by Disney to promote their new movie, "The Muppets."

"The Muppets" return to the big screen on Thanksgiving Day, and it  seems like it's going to be a real kid pleaser.  Personally, I think adults and children will enjoy it.

The film will be accompanied by a brand-new short film featuring Pixar's Toy Story characters.
