Dance Your Cares Away

Worry's for another day, let the live action musical play down in Fraggle Rock. Yep that's right kids according to the jerks over at AICN there's a live action musical version of Fraggle Rock in the works, you can read just a little bit about it here if you like. IMDB says the film will have a 2011 release. Live action Fraggles? I dunno, what's wrong with puppet Fraggles and dudes in big suits playing the Gorgs? And the blue screen placing the tiny Fraggles in frame with the giant Gorgs would be a whole lot better now.
.
Until I actually see something I'll assume that it will be at least as good as the TV show (hey admit it it was good and you liked it and you still sometimes watch the reruns on Teletoon Retro). I just wonder who will play the old not so successful inventor guy who tossed all of Uncle Travelling Matt's postcards in the wastepaper basket.
.
And oh yeah, is it just me, or was Junior Gorg at least a little bit retarded?
.
Speaking of Teletoon Retro, what happened to Rocket Robin Hood and why no Adventures of the Mighty Hercules. If you're reading this Senior VP in Charge of Pleasing Geeks Who Never Grew Up(oh and I know you do) over at TTR get on that shit, will you.
.
And since I mentioned geeks, how's about closing off with a fine collection of some great examples of geek art & graffiti. If you get any of these you're not as cool as you thought you were.
.
Sorry.
