This trailer visualizes just about everything that grabbed me about the book as a child.
Lesson of the day: Remember when Spike did music videos???
If you are in 20-30 year old age range I can just about guarantee that you saw the post title and the picture and immediately became excited. According to one of my favorite sites, FirstShowing.net, the Jim Henson company is back up and running and the Fraggle Rock Movie that was shelved years ago is back on the slate and inches away from pre-production stages.
Here’s the highlight from Brian Henson’s (Jim Henson’s son) talk with MTV’s Adam Rosenberg:
First up, the Fraggle Rock movie is “still in very active development. Very active development. That has a very strong script.” He also adds: “It’ll have a strong musical component. It’ll be expanded to an older audience. Fraggle Rock [the TV show] was presented… for a pretty exclusively children’s audience. The feature film does expand it to be more accessible to a wider audience.”
And here is one of the best opening songs of all time:

Lesson of the day: Dance your cares away, worry’s for another day. Let the music play, down at Fraggle Rock.
Here is the trailer for Michael Moore’s upcoming documentary Wall Street, giving us that classic Michael Moore spin the current economic situation and the bank bailouts. It’s pretty clever, especially if you were sitting in one of the select theatres where ushers actually walked down the aisles with offering trays. It’s a political doc as always so it’ll have friends and enemies, but all things considered I think it’ll be worth the watch no matter what side of the situation you’re on.
Lesson of the day: It’s better to give than to recieve.
This is not The Departed, but Scorcese and Dicaprio know how to make damn good movies. In theatres October 2009.
