Yeah I read on MuppetWiki when they first sent Steve the Kermit "puppet" he said he put it in a closet and couldn't look at it for a month. So you can imagine the weight Steve felt on his shoulders when being asked to take over as Kermit. I personally can't imagine...but he is doing a great job with Kermit. Nobody can replace Jim but nobody can replace Steve either.

Jamie, much as I love that letter, you have to give us the source!!

Ru, loved your list of what you loved about the film. I have a couple to add:

from the extras:
Walter's whistle stopping every danged cab on the street. Probably every one within a two mile radius.

"This just in: I was great in the opening number!" and Bunsen's comment about how much higher the scaffolding was than he recalled.

Every snooze-attack of J G's.

Deadly sharing the historic set with the real Phantom of the Opera. Nice that they worked out an amiable schedule...

"I can't even tell them apart!"

The Muppets all in a production-office environment on their way to the screen test. Something about the imagery of that just kills me. I fully believe Lew would be in the copier room, xeroxing fish butts...
