31illusions Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Joseph Gordon-Levitt is producing and starring in a Fraggle Rock movie. This movie has been in the works for YEARS, it's finally getting the big screen treatment.I loved the show when I was a young lad. Even though I'm not 12 anymore, I'm looking forward to it. Glad to see it come back. Can't think of any of my childhoodTV shows that hasn't been made into a movie...except for Thundercats! Which I would love to see BTW.... anyone else grow up watching Fraggle Rock? Edited March 22, 2015 by 31illusions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I used to watch it as a kid too, and I used to be scared of Junior Gork I had no idea about this until you posted, my gut reaction is they should leave it well alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Trivia: In prisons in the UK Fraggle is a euphemism for a young man who submits to the will of other men that uh, enjoy the pleasure of his company, so to speak You can tell someone who used that phrase a lot round these parts, there's a chance they'll've done a bit of bird.

Bono Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If Uncle travelling Matt isn't in it I'm boycotting the movie.The show was about a bunch of weird little creatures who lived underground in peace and harmony with the Doozers. Although the Doozers would get frustrated when the Fraggles would eat their Doozer sticks, their only purpose in life was to build so the Fraggles kept eating them and the Doozers kept building with them. In one episode the Fraggles showed copassion and stopped ruining the Doozer's hard work by not eating the Doozer sticks anymore but the Doozers soon had nowhere to build so they decided to leave. The Fraggles then decided to eat and the Doozers began building again. Once in a while the Fraggles would go to the surface to seek wisdom from Madame Trash Heap. Usually, or maybe only Gobo. They'd have to be careful though cause the Giants lived up there and would eat always try to catcha Fraggle. Uncle Travelling Matt(Gobo's Uncle) left Fraggle Rock through a hole in the wall that went inot a guys house. The hole was guarded by Sprocket the dog. Uncle Travelling Matt went out inot the world(our human world) and wodl send back postcards to Gobo about his travels. The postcards would always been through in the trash by the guy..... Doc I think his name was and Gobo would have to get past the beast(Sprocket the dog) to retriev the postcards from the trash can.That's basically what it's about I think. I typed that out from memory haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
