I was just about to mention "The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut"!  No, I don't care that it isn't technically a director's cut.

I wonder if Don Bluth needs to knock back a few pints and stare at the ceiling for a while after being reminded of the many and sundry "Land Before Time Sequels".  I wondered this because apparently one of them involves dinosaurs who are really aliens.

I hosted a cookout last year that was rained out soon after all the guests arrived.  The party moved indoors and we all wound up watching "Mac and Me".  A bunch of people were too young to have any memory of it and were in a perpetual state of "What are we even looking at here?"

Simply put "Fraggle Rock" is the end result of Jim Henson being on a long boring plane ride sometime in the early 80's and saying, out of nowhere, "Hey, what if we made a children's television show that promoted peace and global understanding?"

In the same way I wish they'd just film the John Sayles script for "Jurassic Park 4" already, I wish they'd just make the Zappa-involving "Fraggle Rock Movie" already.  I mean, it's extremely likely to be a childhood-destroying mess anyway, right?  Might as well at least make it a *fascinating* mess.
