Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

So we have some bad news.

The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it
TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

I'll see you all around.

With so many regards, Duke William Of.

While I am not unwilling to have a conspiracy running along the Indiana Jones Franchise... I don't think Indiana Jones is the most appropriate for the Assassin's creed, especially considering the fact that Indiana jones was made because Steve and George loved the Serial adventures that they grew up on, and I feel like it would add an unnecessary bloat to the perfect adventure films. even in a novel.
I mean, I'd agree with you about it not being the right franchise if I didn't distinctly remember Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis having having elements of it, specifically involving precursors, that feel like they belong right in the AC series.
Also, and please don't take it the wrong way, but I haven't played assassins creed since brotherhood and it feels like it has only gone down hill since ezio's story ended.
I mean, fair, they've been focusing too much on the Isu and experimenting a little too much in the wake of their weaker entries *cough*Syndicate*cough*, I'll give you that, but Black Flag was way too much fun and Origins was way too captivating [narratively] for the both of them to be considered "downhill".

And while this new game looks like a return to form, it being in fact a prequel to the events of the first one (roughly a century prior), it isn't out yet and so we can only hope.
And Uh... +15 to SP.
Thank you.
 
Words cannot describe how long i've waited for this!
From what I understand (and what I saw in the Hensons thread, so take this with a grain of salt), among the main drawbacks when it first was shown was that Henson had created this reputation as "The Muppet Guy" so when audiences went to see it, they expected more of the same: family friendly fun, with moments of spicy humor like th Muppets of old, but never crossing the line. Instead, what they got was a dark, gothic like story more reminiscent of the Grimm Tales of old before they were Disneyfied.

If we want to amke sure it succeeds, then I think we're going to need a full on marketing campaign to show that while this is something Henson made, it is not something like the Muppets, but something else entirely, yet still something children can go and see. Try and make sure their expectations don't ruin the film for them in a way.

Also, I remmeber seeing this movie as a child, renting the VHS and all, but I could not understand crap of what was going on because there were no subtitles. From what I understood the movie doesn't seem to have any and they speak in a made up language! We need to convince Henson to let us put some subtitles if he still wants the made up language to happen.

I'm confuse. It's been a while since i watched the original, but I'm pretty sure the only characters who speak in a made up language are the podlings, everyone else talks normally.

Oh Boy, that's a little Steamy. Turn 68 (August 1979)
Oh Boy, that's a little Steamy. Turn 68 (August 1979):

So when you were sitting at the table, you discovered, one thing that made everything feel so strange. "Carrie, I do have to ask, why… is Mary still at Debbie's?"

You took a moment to look to see Debbie playing with Mary out in the back, and you honestly were surprised, you had hoped that it was going to be all back to normal.

But then you realized she was running with Natalie and Ginger all by herself. So the worry of her falling into the pool was mitigated with Debbie watching her.

And you smiled. "Nevermind." She was safe.

Carrie however, slipped her hands over your eyes. "Bruce, I think I want you to guess what I'm wearing tonight when Mary is asleep?"

Already your mind wandered before you smiled and just said. "Same thing as last night?"

"Yep."

You knew she was red as a tomato. "Well, then I guess I have to do the same." You said with a smile as you turned around and, with her eyes still covered by her hands, kissed her. "I love you."

"I know." She whispered.

Also wow, Carrie really is thirsty.
I mean, Bruce is hot, she is hot, and bruce has been literally one of the most key people in her life, to help her get her life together...

And she has so much more then she ever did IRL...

Also, Carrie Dice are a thing in this quest, and they are more powerful than even the Magoose dice.

I don't challenge that shit. That tends to lead to problems.

Right Everyone? :V

Say @Magoose is the Popeye movie still in production? If so, is Robin William still participating on it?

I mean, in OTL Paramount went with Popeye because they were not able to get the rights to Annie since Columbia beat them to the punch. But with Columbia so in debt, and putting their all in DC, were they able to get the rights to Annie, or did they went to Paramount instead?
