Sesame Street Is Suing The Happytime Murders Because Duh

Sesame Street Is Suing The Happytime Murders Because Duh

Puppets are often associated with family-friendly entertainment, but every now and then something comes along where the puppets are thrown into stories that are only suited for adults. Such is the case with The Happytime Murders, which dropped its first, definitely NSFW trailer last week with the release of Deadpool 2. After spending a decade in development, the project from Brian Henson, son of Muppet creator Jim Henson, is finally arriving this summer, but with just a few months until its release, the extreme puppet comedy has been hit with a lawsuit by the Sesame Workshop, the company behind the long-running, beloved children's TV series Sesame Street.

The suit that Sesame Workshop filed in New York on Thursday (as reported by The Wrap) alleges that The Happytime Murders' trailer "tarnishes" the Sesame brand because it promoted the movie with the tagline "No Sesame, All Street," which is deemed an unauthorized use of the Sesame Street mark. To be fair, The Happytime Murders is certainly the polar opposite of what Sesame Street is all about, from the cursing to drug use to the lead puppet character getting, shall we say, overexcited in his office while "servicing" a client. In their mind, the folks over at Sesame Workshop believe that because The Happytime Murders trailer "deliberately confuses" consumers into thinking that Sesame Workshop is associated with or has endorsed this R-rated comedy, the "threat of irreparable injury posed to Sesame's mark and brand cannot be overstated." Sesame Workshop is now seeking a permanent injunction to prevent STXfilms from using its marks to promote The Happytime Murders, as well as unspecified damages.

While I could certainly see some people who watched The Happytime Murders wondering if the movie has any connection to Sesame Street or The Muppets given how similar these puppets look to characters we've known for years, I have a hard time believing that this comedy could do irreparable damage to the Sesame Street brand. If a parent or Sesame Street enthusiast is truly concerned, it only takes a minute online to learn that The Happytime Murders is in no way a twisted spinoff of the stories of Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and the rest of the gang. In any case, the lawsuit has been filed, so I imagine STXfilms isn't pleased to have to deal with this as it's also trying to market The Happytime Murders effectively in these remaining months. Fortunately, the company has its finest legal mind on the case, who also happens to be a puppet.

Set in a world where puppets live among humans as second-class citizens, The Happytime Murders follows Melissa McCarthy's Detective Connie Edwards teaming back up with her ex-partner-turned-private investigator Phil Phillips, pupeteered and voiced by Bill Barretta. Together, they have to track down the serial killer who murdered Phil's brother and is now targeting the stars of the 1980s TV series The Happytime Gang. The human cast also includes Maya Rudolph, Joel McHale, Elizabeth Banks, Leslie David Baker and Jimmy O. Yang.

The Happytime Murders opens in theaters on August 17. If you're interested in what non-puppet movies are being released, look through our 2018 release schedule.

Why Star Wars: The Last Jedi Cut So Many Finn Scenes, According To Rian Johnson

Why Star Wars: The Last Jedi Cut So Many Finn Scenes, According To Rian Johnson

Finn was one of the many new protagonists introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and going into Star Wars: The Last Jedi, he continued to be an important player in the story revolving around the conflict between The First Order and The Resistance. However, if you look through The Last Jedi's deleted scenes, you'll notice that a lot of them include Finn. Lest some of you might think that means that Rian Johnson doesn't care for John Boyega's character, the director/writer set the record straight and explained that many of the cut Finn scenes were removed because they simply helped with transitioning from one moment to another. As Johnson put it:

A lot of the Finn scenes that were cut are connective material. For instance, there's a scene where he's on the ship, and BB-8 comes in and shows him... basically, BB-8 shows him a recording he made of Rey saying goodbye to him. That's when he decides, 'Oh my God, I'm going to go save Rey'. In a scene like that, it was totally lovely. But once we realised that we could take it out and the audience would know he's holding Rey's beacon, and 'oh, he's going to save her', and they would make that leap -- suddenly, you can't justify that scene being there.

Putting a movie together is difficult, and sometimes even if a director likes a scene, it becomes necessary to remove it for the betterment of the final product. In the case of these deleted Finn scenes in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it sounds like while they were certainly well shot, in the end they were redundant, and there were other moments that helped move the story along at a more efficient pace. As Rian Johnson noted to Digital Spy, these quick Finn moments contrasted with the extended moments featuring Daisy Ridley's Rey. Johnson continued:

I think as opposed to Rey, where somebody like Rey had longer sequences on the island that were with Luke -- with Finn, because his was a little more plotty in terms of it, there were more little scenes like that where we were like, 'Oh, we can do without this, we can do without that', and have his character arc still hold up.

Among the notable Finn scenes that didn't make Star Wars: The Last Jedi's final version was the extended sequence of him infiltrating Supreme Leader Snoke's ship with Rose Tico and DJ, as well as the alternate fight between him and Captain Phasma. However, even with so many of his scenes cut out, Finn still had a strong presence during the movie, and Rian Johnson made sure to compliment John Boyega for his work on the movie, saying that the actor "at his worst is better than most people at their best." Besides, it's not like Finn was the only character in The Last Jedi who had one or more of their scenes cut out due to redundancy. As an example, Johnson removed an emotional moment between Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa because he felt the same beat was being hit in the scene between Luke and R2-D2 aboard the Millennium Falcon.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now available one Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. Finn, Rey, Poe Dameron and the rest of the current trilogy gang will return when Episode IX is released on December 20, 2019. But before that, you can travel back to a galaxy far, far away when Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on May 25.

James Gunn Thanks Fans After Being Reinstated For Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3

James Gunn Thanks Fans After Being Reinstated For Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3

It's a very exciting time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phase Three has been on a roll, as every single installment in the massive franchise has been a critical and box office success. With Captain Marvel officially in theaters, anticipation for Avengers: Endgame is at an all-time high, as the massive blockbuster will arrive in a month. But today brought some unexpected (but still exciting) news: Disney has reinstated James Gunn as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

James Gunn was fired by Disney in July, when offensive tweets from a decade resurfaced. While Gunn apologized for jokes that were in poor taste, he was removed from the Guardians franchise, and production for the Vol. 3 was put on indefinite hold. But now the Guardians of the Galaxy visionary will return to complete his trilogy as planned, and recently posted a note of thanks on Twitter. It read:

I am tremendously grateful to every person out there who has supported me over the past few months. I am always learning and will continue to work at being the best human being I can be. I deeply appreciate Disneys decision and I am excited to continue making films that investigate the ties of love that bind us all. I have been, and continue to be incredibly humbled by your love and support. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Love you all.

It seems James Gunn is truly grateful to be back behind the camera for the upcoming Guardians threequel. As such, he's taking the time to thank the fans, as well as the House of Mouse for welcoming him back to the fan favorite franchise. In short: we are Groot.

James Gunn's recent tweet of thanks is a truly full circle moment, since it was his social media account that caused massive controversy, and eventually led to his firing. But it seems that his apology and fan outcry did some good, given his reinstation as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

It was unclear if the threequel was ever going to be produced, as the task of finding someone to replace James Gunn seemed impossible. Gunn's point of view is very much apart of the bloodline of the franchise, as his taste of music, dance moves, and sense of humor were all incorporated into the first two movies. While some fans suggested who might take the job, many believed that there was only one person capable of finishing the trilogy: James Gunn himself.

The Guardians of the Galaxy cast hasn't commented on James Gunn returning to the franchise, but it seems only a matter of time. While they all penned a letter supporting Gunn in the wake of his departure, Dave Bautista was arguably his biggest defender. In fact, Bautista maintained he wouldn't appear as Drax unless (at the very least) Gunn's original draft for the Vol. 3 was used.

It's unclear when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will arrive in theaters, as its indicated that James Gunn will write and direct The Suicide Squad for DC before hopping back over to Marvel. In the meantime, check out our 2019 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.
