Hey I just found out there will be a movie this summer. Cool!
Anyone else psyched?

1. Saw a preview of it yesterday before Harry Potter started.

It looks good.

2. not really..

the only cool thing about that stupid show were the models and the puppets. I don't understand why they would remake it without the puppets?

The only good to come of this is Matt and Trey are making a film using marionettes in retaliation entitled 'Team America'.

5. That is disappointing

and with the advances in animation they could have really done a great job.
Oh well, maybe they'll smarten up for a "Captain Scarlet" movie.
I always loved Barry Gray's musical scores too.

7. What I loved about the original series...

about 1/3 of each episode is recycled stock footage of the same stuff. Like the whole elaborate sequence of the sofa in the swingin' living room being carted along conveyor belts and hoists to be installed in Thunderbird One. Like, wouldn't it have been more efficient to walk, or build the launch pad closer to the house?

8. Ha ha. Seen Nick Park's "A Close Shave"? (Wallace and Gromit)

He does a good take off on that very sequence.
