Though I was a child star of Romper Room, I never much watched Sesame street. Might explain why I was never much of a liberal, even at a young age. I was too busy working and playing sports and being terrified of girls.
When all is said and done, the new Muppet Movie is probably one of the better ones for taking the children to.
Sure, there is subtext that is anti capitalist.... but to make a movie today, ( if you don't have the rights for a comic book.... And Marvel is smoking the "old Hollywood" with that ) the bad guys have to be either oil guys, industrial guys, or Christians. After all who else is Evil according to hollywood?
But hey! what do I know. I still think "Love Actually" is a great Christmas movie.
On a side note I'm getting rather hacked off with the hi-jacking of the word "liberal" to refer to socialists or their policies.
The word liberal comes from the same route as liberty.
Here's a couple of dictionary definitions.
Favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
Favoring or permitting freedom of action, especially with respect to matters of personal belief or expression.
As you can see they're more in keeping with republican than democrat priciples.
So please use the correct words for what you want to say, not what some media type says is the buzz word of the day.
The test is they do the opposite of what they claim, to translate its Anti liberal Anti liberals are liberal about only 2 things sex and drugs Other than that they are control freaks!
I agree Innes. Blame the marxist/socialist/progressivess. Like the homosexuals who highjacked the word "gay", they employed a strategy of trying to fool folks by adopting a nice sounding name. So too the "Progressives".
On a related note, why do Lesbians get there own name but male homos don't? I guess "faggots" isn't preferred, and they never had their own island ("Lesbos"). Instead of trying to force a redefinition of the word marriage down our throats, maybe they ought to come up with a word to identify themselves first.
Ft, thanks for the review. ( I figured it was much ado about little )
Blake, I don't really care what they call themselves, I always figured gay guys just meant more choices in women for me. ( put that down honey... I'm just joking... not the remote! don't throw the remote.........
Kids needed to see the Muppets the way I did. Although, I will have to admit, the HD viewing showed EVERY SINGLE piece of lint on every Muppet. I bet they had to lint brush those things a thousand times a day.
The HD reminded me in every scene that these are fabric puppets. I paid more attention to the seams and how their eyes were attached and how they were made than I did the character.
