The Great Muppet Caper - 08 - Night Life


Not a lot of people know that Joe Raposo did a couple of Non-Sesame Street Muppet Show related music composing. For example...

The Great Muppet Caper ( 1981 ) : Miss Piggy Fight Scene


Muppet Treasure Island was the other movie where Miss Piggy beat up multiple people at a fast speed where in The Muppet Movie it was pushing off a whole group of villains. The Muppets Take Manhattan featured that awesome pose of her in that scary pose screaming / roller skating out of a bush and going after someone who took her purse, and in The Muppets Go To Disney World - It's just awesome to see Muppets in Anti-Fascist action ( Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! scene ) . Then of course there's her smashing up the studio in The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show ( special ) . She's changed a lot in the newer stuff however.

Happy 40th Anniversary of The Great Muppet Caper ! " If that's The Happiness Hotel, I hate to see what the sad one looks like. " lol

Statler and Waldorf heads from Muppets Tonight auctioned at Prop Store. Video with MythBusters' Adam Savage.

 I'm guessing that these Statler and Waldorf heads are from Muppets Tonight. At least from the mid-late 1990s era.



At this time whenever people find things like this, I don't know why people can't just donate them to the Jim Henson / Muppet exhibits at the museums. 

The Museum of The Moving Image, Center of Puppetry Arts ( Atlanta, GA ), Smithsonian, Birthplace of The Frog Museum in Leland MS, or the traveling Jim Henson exhibitions.

It just makes sense for someone to do that.

Rude Britannia – Spitting Image | TateShots


Almost 10 years before BritBox Spitting Image. #rogerlaw #spittingimage #caricature #caricatures #satirist #satirists #puppetry

Omnibus: Luck & Flaw's Illustrated Guide To Caricature


I'm still amazed on how there was more of a presence of the Spitting Image James Gillray puppet than I thought. The puppet appeared in 1985 but didn't appear on the show until the late 1980s as a stock puppet. Roger Law did mention that the James Gillray Spitting Image puppet did exist in 2010 which was also on display in many of his exhibits. There's many things that Spitting Image has done and most of it is RARE ! Some of the footage from this documentary has been seen in the 2014 documentary " Whatever Happened To Spitting Image ". #spittingimage #spittingimagepuppets #rogerlaw #caricature #caricaturist #satire #satirists #puppetry

Scooby-Doo meets Courage the Cowardly Dog


The first Courage the Cowardly Dog movie and it's not only just a direct-to-video modern Scooby Doo cross-over but ( even though most of the original Courage the Cowardly Dog cast will be featured in the movie except Eustace ) there is no involvement of the Courage the Cowardly Dog creator John R. Dilworth and Stretch Films. :( The animation according to the trailer already looks slightly different from the animation seen on the original Courage the Cowardly Dog series. #couragethecowardlydog

BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 : Promo 2


These promos are better than last year. And even though the official Spitting Image has been uploading classic episodes / clips which is great , I have a strong feeling that BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 is going to end up just like Series 1. As I've mentioned before in my video essays, BritBox Spitting Image is closer to 1990s Spitting Image rather than 1980s Spitting Image, but still lacks in comparison to 1990s Spitting Image. But there are a few things to appreciate. Cartoon violence being one of them which is something that was shared by all three versions and even the French inspired Les Guignols De L'info. #SpittingImage #SpittingImagePuppets #RogerLaw

BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 ( Official Trailer ) ( Review )

 I don't know if BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 will be any better than the first or if it's one of those situations where the trailers look better than actual new series of BritBox Spitting Image.

This does look funnier than anything I've seen in most of series 1.

And of course, bringing back Spitting Image's traditional " headbutt " .

Hopefully the new series will be closer to the 1980s Spitting Image and not just a modern day version of 1990s Spitting Image ( minus the satirical music parodies ), especially how the official Spitting Image social media has been uploading all of series 1, most of series 2, and a few episodes and clips from 1980s Spitting Image.

But of course because of the capitalism of the entertainment industry, it's mostly likely than not to have doubts and be skeptical.

So for now, I think it's just going to be another BritBox Spitting Image Series 1. But surprisingly decent clip. Though again, not as energetic as the original. And as before, there's that feeling that something is toned down a little bit.

Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street - A MUST SEE FILM !


Street Gang the Documentary is FINALLY available digital TO OWN !
I've waiting a long time because I knew this documentary was going to be so good that I didn't want to see it as a rental.
Next to HBO Max releasing Classic Sesame Street episodes, THIS IS THE OTHER GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE SESAME STREET'S 50th.
This is the best Jim Henson / Muppet related documentary since Frank Oz's Muppet Guys Talking.
For those who have read Brian Jay Jones' book Jim Henson : The Biography and of course the book Street Gang, this is a must watch for the classic fans out there.
It's the ultimate classic Sesame Street film
( Yes, I will get the DVD and Blu-ray next month too ! ) !

* Brand New Interviews with Christopher Cerf, Lisa and Brian Henson, Joan Ganz Cooney, Norman Stiles, Luis Rodriguez ( Luis ), Sonia Manzano ( Maria ), Roscoe Orman ( Gordon ) Bob McGrath ( Bob )
* Awesome rare behind the scenes footage and bloopers
* Jim Henson dancing and singing with the crew ( near the credits, left side )
* More info about Jon Stone
* And the fact that Classic Sesame Street was THE BEST version ! And it was political, it has strong roots during the movements and times of the 1960s, truly " revolutionary " !

A MUST SEE FILM !

Thoughts / Opinions on Anarchists against New Age Spirituality

  It's not uncommon to hear Anarchists / Leftists reject New Age Spirituality and vise versa. This is why I have talked about New Age Spirituality from an Anarchist prospective in terms of Anarchist Spiritual reform aka Spiritual Anarchism not only on blog articles but blog videos as well. There was even a recent sketch on my satirical show " The Erica Crooks Show " on how many Anarchists can be very ridged in terms of the " proven by science only " mindset that it can violate the liberty of Spiritual Anarchists / Religious Anarchists. 

 There was even a comic that I did with both an Anarchist and New Age Spirituality person arguing and my point again was why not both ? And of course Anarchists would be more willing to reject it not only as pseudoscience but also as just another hierarchical religion which explains why most Anarchists are Atheists. I've heard that Anarchists are skeptics and not believers, but what about those who are both ? I think the point of Anarchism is more on the lines of making sure that there's no hierarchical power over others. Anarchists tend to go after Spirituality like Religion and any other hierarchical doctrine written by the capitalist ruling classes in order to expose on it's real purpose which is to use brainwashing technics to keep us obedient, divide and conquer, etc. However I do believe that going towards Spirituality in such a way is again coming from an Atheist / proven by science only mindset and the point I was making in my satire is that if people don't use critical thinking, empathy and sympathy for others then they could get extremely caught up in it. If Anarchists want to be Atheists and believe that there's no afterlife, fine but that's just as much their liberty as an Anarchist that believes there is one at least. An Anarchist Society should welcome knowledge including knowledge from the past. At least in my opinion.
