We Need Another Muppets Movie

The Muppets are American Classics, whether you know them best from any of their many movies, from the Muppet Show, or from another source it is undeniable that nearly every American has at least heard of the Muppets.

My two favorite Muppet productions are A Muppets Christmas Carol, an adaptation of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and Muppet Treasure Island, an adaptation of Treasure Island by Robert Lewis Stevenson.

Getting to the point of this article, I sincerely wish for another Muppet movie to come out that is an adaptation of another classic novel like those two. I have brainstormed many of books: Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, any of the Sherlock Holmes Story by A. Conan Doyle (or a story inspired by), Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne, and A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne.

These are a few stories that I think can be given the Muppet treatment and it would work. I'm sure there are other, but these are the ones I have selected, but I am interested in what you guys had in mind.

But more than anything I just want a new Muppet movie. The Muppets Now on Disney+ is fine, but it does not have the same sense of excitement I got from any of the Muppet Movies or even the muppets (a one season TV show on ABC), which I thought had captured the magic of the Muppets a little better than the Muppets Now is doing.

    I agree, another Muppets movie would be nice to see. Especially if they adapt a classic story again.

Who is the Chosen One? | A Star Wars Theory

This blog post was originally published March 31, 2017 on my old website. No changes have been made except formatting and spelling and grammatical corrections. Who is the Chosen One? In the Star Wars Rebels Episode Twin Suns, Obi-won Kenobi refers to Luke Skywalker as the chosen one. This can be supported by when Ben Kenobi’s Force Ghost says, “That boy is our only hope” to Yoda in the Empire Strikes Back. So is Luke the Chosen One? XL L S ​ ​ According to George Lucas, No, Anakin is the Chosen One. However, since Disney is now in charge of Star Wars this could change, but lets first operate under the assumption that Anakin is the Chosen One. There is plenty of evidence to support this. His High Midi-chlorian count. In the Mortis arc of the Clone Wars he was able to control both the Son and the Daughter. Representations of the Dark Side and the Light Side respectively. He Destroys the Jedi Order After Ben Kenobi’s Force Ghost stated, “That boy is our only hope,” Yoda responded with, “t

1st 2020 Presidential Debate Response

 The first Presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Biden recently concluded. The debate was moderated by Chris Wallace. First off, I caught Trump and Biden exchanging pleasantries right before the debate on stage. But other than that, they were not pleasant with each other. I felt Biden was a bit more cordial, but still very blunt. Also, I felt like Biden held the better position at the end of the debate. In terms of being a debater. However, I felt like Trump made a larger impact on screen due to him being a former reality TV host and knowing how to rally a crowd. I also have to say, I think Hillary Clinton did a better job debating Trump than Biden did. Still I felt Biden held his ground well and preformed better in the debate. He stayed relevant to the topic more often and he did not need to resort to lies to support his arguments. Trump failed to denounce white supremacy and white supremacists groups during the debate and frequently interrupted Biden.

My Favorite Moment in Star Wars

One of my favorite moments in Star Wars is when Luke removes the Helmet of Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker dies in Return of the Jedi. So The Throne Room scene has ended and the Death Star is about to be destroyed. In the moment of all that tension we first see Imperial Officers and stormtroopers running around and we see Luke dragging Vader across a hanger floor to an Imperial Shuttle. There Vader, or should I be saying Anakin, asks Luke to remove his helmet. But Luke is does not want to, as Anakin would die, but Anakin says that it's already too late for him. Luke then removes the helmet and touching words are exchanged. Anakin passes away whispering to Luke to tell his sister, that he [Luke] was right. For some context, it was a few years from when I was first found out about Star Wars and when I saw my first Star Wars film. That film happened to be Return of the Jedi shortly after Elementary school. Since then, this scene has always stuck with me. The only scenes that could co
