Inconceivable!
Pretty neat article and video :) Princess Bride was a staple in my childhood, its refreshing to see it brought back this way (ahem, Paul Rudd as Wesley, Foxtrot?)
So, enjoy this article and avoid the ROUS'! ;)

Muppet of a Man!
Foxtrot here, I'll start by saying I loved the Muppets. I'm really not a huge fan of musicals or puppets but, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. This Muppets film is based years after the Muppet group splits up. And with the help of Walter (a Muppet) and his brother Gary (Jason Segel) they have to come back for one more show to save their theater from a money hungry business man (Chris Cooper).
There wasn't a moment where I wasn't smiling or laughing thanks to Jason Segel's writing and acting. The musical numbers were the most fun from Segel's "Muppet of a Man" to Cooper's rap sequences. I highly recommend watching this feel good film for anyone who wants to go on a great, imaginative, cinematic ride.
Foxtrot out.

the Three Musketeers: Predictable, Pirate-ey and utterly Entertaining
My theatre had about six people in it, my group making up half of them. As terribly excited as I was, I was a little disappointed that no one really knew any of the actors and hadn't seen them in anything prior. The casting in Musketeers was... superb. Matthew Macfayden (Pride and Prejudice, Pillars of the Earth), Luke Evans (Clash of the Titans and the upcoming Immortals), Ray Stevenson (Rome, Thor, King Arthur), Til Schweiger (Inglourious Basterds, King Arthur), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, King Arthur... sensing a trend here?) Orlando Bloom (Lord of the Rings, POTC), Logan Lerman (3:10 to Yuma, Percy Jackson and the Olympians), Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, Water for Elephants) and Milla Chokabitch I mean... Jovovich (Resident Evil - I don't even know what number they're on anymore, Ultra Violet).
Whew! Did ya get all that? I hope I didn't forget anyone...
All of these people listed above were finely, finely dressed. The costumes were, in short, AMAZING. Every little detail, thread and cut of fabric was, I can't imagine any other way, meticulously put together. The costumes Jovovich and Bloom wore were outstanding.
To match the costuming was the scenery and set department. I found myself not focusing on Christoph Waltz but, the walls behind him. It was definitely a pretty movie. Bright, shiny... sparkly. I like sparkly.
I saw this one in 2D, I only see 3D if I have to. Frankly, 2D is the way to go with this one. Usually, when watching 2D you can see what's supposed to be poppin' out atcha but... not so much. Go with the 2D, my friends.

Did that just happen? That just happened.
We need to pimp this ho...
So... working on some shirt ideas and ya'll need to help me out! I'd be perfectly happy with plastering a shirt with William Fichtner and Kim Coates and being done with it but, I'm thinking not everyone would be down with that...
