Saw the remake of Death Wish starting Bruce Willis. Some really good kill scenes in it and overall a good remake. Mr. Bronson would be proud.
Here is the trailer of The Fuzz. They are exactly the same kind of puppets as from Henson productions, but I have no idea if or how it's connected to Henson.
I can't find in the credits of The Fuzz whether it's related to Henson, but if not then they copied the puppets exactly.
On the subject of Henson, what I'm really looking forward to is the prequel series of The Dark Crystal, Age of Resistance. Dark Crystal is still my favourite work from Jim Henson (his own too, I believe). I think I slightly prefer it even over Labyrinth. Neither films were very original of course, Dark Crystal is Lord of the Rings, and Labyrinth is Alice in Wonderland, but the execution was so brilliant that it didn't matter.
It seems the Age of Resistance series is gonna be done with puppets, and it was scheduled to appear this year on Netflix. Yet there is so little news about it, that I get the idea it may be postponed.

...don't know if this will help any, it does appear that the puppets skate along the fine edge of copyright infringement.....
I'm not sure what kind of site that is. But there does seem a direct connection with Henson productions in the Puppet Costume Designer (now, why isn't that an Oscar category?), Poly Smith, who worked on Labyrinth and Muppet Christmas Carol.
...it appears to be their own website.....
I watched the animated Batman: Gotham by Gaslight last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. Basically it's an alternative history where Batman exists in the era of Jack the Ripper and is trying to find the killer. Entertaining and different!
sounds intriguing.
My First Mister (2001). This is one of my favorite movies, even though I cry every time I watch it. Albert Brooks and Leelee Sobieski are fantastic.
Grey Gardens (2009 film) - Wikipedia with Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore
This was well done.
I've watched the documentary Grey Gardens; I've watched the Documentaries Now! spoof Sandy Passage with Fred Armisen and Bill Hader; and apparently there is another documentary called That Summer with more footage of the Beales. And I also see that HBO had a documentary called Ghosts of Grey Gardens that I would also love to see.
The Beales are fascinating!

This movie should be listed in the dictionary under 'dark comedy'!
I saw this movie when it first came out. At the drive-in, and I'm thinking, WTH? I thought this was the dumbest thing ever. Now, I can appreciate it for it's quirky fun quality. I had fun watching it again.This movie should be listed in the dictionary under 'dark comedy'!
I think when it was released it was promoted as horror. So, like you, when I saw it the first time during the opening segment I was like WTH but then it clicked and I started to enjoy it for what it was. I love the gal that plays the sister. She cracks me up in everything she does. I think she was in Porky's, too.
Yep, Nancy Parsons was the sister and she was in Porky's and a lot of other films and television:
Nancy Parsons - IMDb
Absolutely!
I loved the swingers that showed up at the Hotel. Elaine Joyce and Dick Curtis. Cracked me up.
Dammit, I am so jealous, cause Netflix for the Caribbean doesn't have this! I've been eager to see this since the trailer and I really like Wes Studi. Hope we get it soon. The fact that you rate it better than 3:10 to Yuma makes me want to see it even more.
