    Okay everyone I have a little quiz for you!

    If there's a film about jim Henson, what kind of movie way you want it to be?

    The acters doing puppets with eatch other like most famemus people movies way or the Muppet movie way,?

    I would like mine to be mostly Muppet movie way and some with like the fammeus people movies.:)

    Don't take it so personally about that it's not a big deal really. I get corrected all the time mostly beceause i really dont give a darn what people say or think unless they are being right horses back ends about it. We are all part of the human race which some have forgotton about too busy being perfact to see the big picture. I look on it this way if peoplre arnt intellegent enough to read typos then they must have IQs under 50. I'm kidding please dont go ape on me... im kind of in a snappy mood so please for give my rude ness. I just don't like it when people are made to feel less intellgent beceause someone gets all bent over a slight flaw or something differnt that just makes them them.
    I think if Jim was reading this he would probably think the same but im not him so i will never know for sure. Sorry for going off I just don't like it when someones dissed because they may not type or speak the same way as everyone else and this applies to everything not just here.
    Let's get back to the original topic of this thread ok.

    I agree. Let's get back to the subject.

    I have to admit, I'm not sure the fan base would want a Jim Henson Biopic after the one that never got made. Unlike Fraggle Rock and Dark Crystal 2, we were GLAD this one never happened. Why?

    Well, the film itself was an inaccurate negative, depressing affair... clearly Oscar bait, and it seemed to focus more on Jim Henson the failure than Jim Henson the dreamer. And if that weren't bad enough, it was interspersed with dark, negative portrayals of the characters. Think of a VERY mean spirited Robot Chicken type skit, only played for sympathy rather than laughs. A depressed Kermit living in a dilapidated apartment? Morbidly Obese Fozzie in a wheelchair? And worst of all, Piggy ran off with Link Hogthrob... an idea that would disgust the real Piggy to the core.

    I think that would sour the idea of even a more positive biopic for most fans. I'd rather see a filmed documentary with no depressing agendas shoved into the plot.

    What does that have to do about the idea of a film about Jim?

    Nothing I just want to tell the facts I found today that's all sorry about that.
