First movie I saw in theaters…

I had to sit in the front row and crane my neck up the entire movie to see. Never sat in the front row ever again.

Would you believe I watched this today?!
Muppets = win.
Muppets + Billy Connoly = Epic-ness
Muppets + Billy Connoly + Tim Curry = EPIC WIN!

If I had a life, I’d hate it XD

How many of us guessed that our little “Jim Hawkins” grows up to play a gay page-turner?

I agree with you on the RHPS part. I’ve never watched Clue.

My favorite line is when Gozno is commenting on the starfish in his pants…and Rizzo says, “You and your hobbies”
I NEED to get this movie on DVD-I have 2 copies of it on VHS tape…

Of course, those are my other two fave TC movies, Ma. However, the makeup and fishnets don’t do a thing for me. Pirates, however, do. “When You’re a Professional Pirate” absolutely puts a lump in my throat, the hairs on my arms up, and a couple of things I can’t mention.

SO GREAT. I love that they visited “The set of MTI” while the movie was going on… and then scuba diving at the end…. so great.

“How does she DO that?”

HAHAHA This is one of my favorites ever… ENDLESS quotability and yes, I destroyed the tape by playing it so many times.

“Dead Tom’s dead! Long John SHOT HIM!”
“But, Dead Tom’s always been dead. That’s why he’s called ‘Dead Tom’”

“Talking parrots? That’s rich! What’s next, a singing, dancing mouse with his own amusement park? AAAHAHA”

sigh… classic.

Why yes he has! I personally enjoyed his awesome sexiness in RHPS.
He was also most excellent in Clue, but not quite as sexy. haha.

I love this movie so very much. Me and my little brother watch it all the time, it’s nice that he appreciates something made before he was born.

We love it… and I’m not ashamed to say I have the songs on my iTunes…and some on my iPod.haha.

This is a great movie!
I love that in the opening scene there is a seriously hunky pirate digging. I wish I knew who he was.

OK, it’s a great movie, but 13 years ago and it qualifies as nostalgia?

I LOVE this movie.
Big Blue Wet Thing, Something Better, and that kinda dark opening song -fish eye no miko- mentioned are at the top of my shower singing list!!!

The first post-Jim-Henson Kermit movie that got the singing voice right. I was aghast at the Kermit singing voice in Christmas Carol… it was soooo…. “normal”. Not Kermit.

The Devil himself would have to call them scum

For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight ” o/~
