‘Happytime Murders’ Creators Respond To ‘Sesame Street’ Lawsuit With Actual Puppet Lawyer.
His name is Fred, and he represents the puppet film “Happytime Murders.”
Sesame Workshop, the creators of Sesame Street, filed a lawsuit last week against the producers of the upcoming film “The Happytime Murders,” claiming trademark infringement over their tagline “No sesame. All street.”
“The Happytime Murders” is a raunchy R-rated movie produced by The Jim Henson Company that stars Melissa McCarthy. It is set in a world where humans and Sesame Street-style puppets coexist.
The film’s creators, STX Entertainment, sent HuffPost a response to the lawsuit that they said was crafted by their puppet lawyer Fred, Esq. They included Fred’s photo as well.
“Happytime Murders” is released to theaters Aug. 17.

Avengers: Infinity War writers tease bigger story for two main characters in Avengers 4
Warning: Avengers: Infinity War spoilers ahead!
Writers for Avengers 4 spoke about their original plans in a new interview recently with the New York Times.
They always knew they wanted the ending with Thanos at the end of Infinity War.
There was some conversation about moving the scene to Avengers 4, but they decided against it.
Captain America and Black Widow have a much bigger role to play in Avengers 4.
In Avengers 4 the team and their friends have to figure out what happened.
Then stop Thanos and hopefully find a way to reverse his decision that also brings their friends back.

Who's to blame for Solo failure?
Solo only grossed $83 million over the Memorial Day weekend.
“The Force Awakens” made over $2 billion, “Rogue One” raked in almost $1.1 billion, and “The Last Jedi” grossed $1.3 billion.
Yet fans who saw Solo are overwhelmingly positive.
The Last Jedi has become the proverbial punching bag.
Was the disappointing Solo box office merely backlash for mess that was The Last Jedi?
Does the blame fall at Rian Johnson's feet?
Will the Rian Johnson trilogy fail even more?
What are your thoughts?

It should be noted that this is not the Angela Jones that picked up Bruce Willis as a taxi driver in Pulp Fiction.

In other Star Wars news, The Last Jedi Comic Reveals Admiral Ackbar’s Last Words
Nothing ticked off fans more than the death of Admiral Gial Ackbar.

The Crow remake falls apart yet again.
Studios have spent almost a quarter of a century trying to re-boot The Crow movies.
The latest was scheduled for release in the fall of 2019.
It was supposed to star Jason Momoa as the title character and be directed by Corin Hardy.
Are the re-boots as cursed as the Comics character created by James O’Barr?
Jason Momoa and director Corin Hardy formally withdrawn from the film now.
Creative and financial differences was the reason given.

The Avenger That Can't Be Trusted To Keep A Secret.
Mark Ruffalo is “without a doubt” the worst at keeping secrets.
“But he’s also the person I probably love the most. He’s just the most — just one of the kindest people you’ll meet. And so, completely forgivable every time he gives away some plot point. He could get away with murder. Anyone else, it might be highly scrutinized and punished, but he’s beyond forgivable.”
Ruffalo famously let out a major Avengers: Infinity War spoiler last summer at D23 Expo when he went to say “half” of the characters in the then-upcoming crossover epic die, only to quickly correct himself and let slip “everybody dies.”
