GAH just had a "Meet the Feebles" flashback, given the track record, a very bad idea...

Sometimes there are dangers to watching crappy B-Movies...

Anyway...

That does remind me though about all the nonsense that revolved around Team Bondi and the development of LA Noire. It's a fantastic game but it was built under significant duress (when Rockstar had to jump in to help make things tolerable for the developers you know things have gone south...)

Back on topic: I really don't get why someone would want to make a muppet version of a noir film. It makes no sense, who is it going to appeal to?

But it does remind me, Chinatown re-release is April 3rd! One of my favourite films (just avoid the "sequel")

Meet The Feebles --> Youtube --> weird part of the internet again

re. appeal: well, somebody in a suit decided there was an audience for JimHenson-branded "Adult" media content...

Yep, these are the same guys who sell stupid stuff to hipsters as "ironic" but at the end of the day mirrored wallpaper and purple carpet is still ugly and stupid...

on that note, at least you don't have to go there without space-travel-worthy protection...

Lovable Dan Redican of course! The killingest puppet of all!

Something to fill the void left by Mike Bullard? Whoa! That lasted SIX seasons...
