Jim Henson and his Muppeteers from the third season of The Muppet Show

[cosmicretreat]

The Muppet Show premiered today in 1976!

[podado-t-memes]

I just watched the new Jim Henson documentary…

Overall it was very good, well paced, great visuals and editing. I learned a lot about Jim Henson and the company that I didn’t before and more behind the scenes that I hadn’t seen/heard which is always a treat!

I cried three times. 🫣👌 I had to fight the primal urge to pause the documentary and point out to my family where and what movie/show/episode every clip was from. This was my “did you know Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe” scene.

I will say, I do think they very QUICKLY went over the disney merger and didn’t even mention the fallout with Disney after Jim’s death.

———————

The main problem I had was that SOME puppeteers got spot lights, interviews or arrows pointing out the individuals. And while I appreciate that these individuals got some recognition (which they 100% should), I think the documentary should have been consistent and do this with every new important/fundamental puppeteer to the film.

I alreay have!!! I was able to EASILY point out Karen Prell, Louise Gold, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Kevin Clash, Steve whitmire, etc. But an average viewer wouldn’t know who is who and what they contributed to the company!

I just think it’s intriguing who they chose to highlight and who they left out.

And I’ve noticed this happen in other muppet documentaries, like “Street Gang,” where they barely glossed over Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson’s contributions to the show. (I’ve mentioned this problem here before. (Queer erasure during pride month? 🙄))

It would be such an easy problem to fix! Just a quick arrow to point out any new puppeteer or cast member to the Jim Henson Company. Maybe list their job/their characters so a main stream audience could identify them.

I can think of several founding members who are still alive today that were not interviewed. Maybe these people were asked to come in, IDK, but I would have loved to hear from more people you don’t hear from often.

I could definitely tell the documentary was really trying to avoid the “Steve Whitmire” sized elephant in the room, even though he was in SO MANY shots. I can guarantee that if he was still with the company he would have been featured heavily in the documentary.

One last thing…

They interviewed Michael Frith, where was my girl Kathryn Mullen?? (His wife.) She hasn’t done anything in over a decade, are you okay?? Blink if you need help. 👁️👄👁️😐😑😐😑

Muppeteers from the Muppet Show

[inevitablemoment]

My first edit of the year is the same song as my last edit of 2023. Wow.

But I think you can guess what I've been focusing on lately.

Louise Bourgeois in Arch of Hysteria (1994)

[conformi]

Gianmarco Tamberi wins the gold medal in the men's high jump final, 26th European Athletics Championships, Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy, 11 June 2024 ph. Mattia Ozbot VS Louise Bourgeois. Arch of Hysteria, 1993

Lou's turn in show jumping doesn't take place until the sun is setting over the field. She and Thunder launch across jump after jump with minimal mistakes, earning themselves a silver medal. For their first competition, it's much more than Lou expected, and the success has her thinking about her next competition...

Meanwhile, Naila watches Lou as she competes. Her instincts had been right. Lou was a natural, and she had a way of connecting with her horse that was absent in other competitors.

Officially done watching Ripper Street and I recommend it so much!!

I will take that laudanum tho @corpyburd

I will say that Susan Hart/Caitlin Swift is my favourite character (which tbh she probably should be just for being played by MyAnna) because she is such a complex character in my opinion. MyAnna plays her beautifully. I truly believe that she wanted to be a good person but basically every choice she made resulted in her being portrayed as this evil woman, which was especially hard to watch because in most scenes you could just see the pain and the anguish in her eyes, the scene with Jackson in season 3 is a great example of her being very aware of the situation she put herself in and showed her guilt over it. I loved her because even though she wanted to be a good person she was aware that she made choices ‘good’ people wouldn’t and she does a lot of good anyway but she doesn’t even take credit most of the time. In the end even though it pained me greatly I knew she would accept her fate and hang, which broke my heart because she was and is my favourite character.

And another thing, even though her relationship with Matthew was toxic, unhealthy most of the time (almost all of the time tbh) it was epic, I loved it. They were destined for one another and it shows. It was hard to watch when he was with another but I always knew that they would end up together anyway because, to me, he clearly loved her for the entire duration of the show even though they fought more than anything else. Every time they called each other by their original names I got so soft and giddy idk

Reid often annoyed me though 🙄 but even with that the show was still enjoyable, it’s amazing actually, I finished it and immediately started rewatching my favourite episodes that’s how captivating it is

coaches you’d kill to have a comeback for. Like coaches you really want to get another map

Ooo boy do I have a list 😅

Luke: I would love to see a prequel map showing him going from being shunned by deities on floworld (perhaps because of him looking more like a demon?) but being accepted by Scarlet Gold and Eternyx

Scarlet Gold: Either a prequel map showing how they started Scarlet's Palace or just them being a drag mom to the other performers (You can pry my headcannon of her adopting Luke and Ann from my cold dead hands)

Amanita: MY GIRL DESERVES A PROPER MAP TO SLAY IN JD

All three Wasabi coaches: I am genuinely curious as to who they are and if they are related to Selios. Also their designs just slay (Even if I thought Nao looked like they could be in a Dove commercial at first 😅)

Vester and P2 of Sacrifice: I NEED THE GAYPIRES TO COME BACK PLEASEEE

Panda,  Rudolf, and Brock: I just really love their Claymation maps they are so cute!

Triton: He has a cute relationship with Calypso but also I'm curious about his relationship with Belacus. (Honestly I would love to see him and other deity kids like Luke and Wander interacting)

Louise: Why was my queen thrown in jail? Was she slaying more than Night Swan making Feather Duster jealous?

The Forgotten Queen: How was she forgotten? Why did she attack Crimson and his crew?

Moxie, Grace, and Ari: I would love their schools having a dance fight to see who's on top (I even got a song for it hehe :3)

I'm sure I got more but that's all for now!
