Warning: kissing spoiler/review ahead. You have been warned.
Warning: Frog/Pig relationship dissection ahead--adult emotions will be discussed. If that frightens you, please feel free to hide until the scary parts are over.
Kermit has just rescued the day (and Miss Piggy). Piggy has just...
I admit I am genuinely baffled by the number of people who preferred MMW because they felt that the humans in TM's had too much screen time in the story. Of all the things that might be used as a point of comparison between the two most recent movies, that seemed like a strange thing to use. For...
I want to jump back in here and comment about a couple of things. The first thing I want to say is this: this is not a contest between the last two movies. It is possible to like both--both are like-worthy--and it is not necessary to pan one to promote the other. My concern here is that, if...
Just got back from a late-night showing after 12 hours of teaching and here I am....
I have lots to say, and I'm not sure what order things are going to come out in, but here goes.
SPOILERS * SPOILERS *
Let me say--as gently as possible, and right up front--that they would have had a better...
I am going after I teach my class tonight! (After 12 hours of teaching today, I can't think of anything better to do than go see the Muppets!!!!)
I will CERTAINLY post here after it's all over....
Chapter 156: What the Heart Wants
He answered on the first ring. “Hey,” he said.
“Hey, yourself, swamp boy,” she said, and suddenly she was crying, unable to do anything much but sob into the phone.
Kermit was aghast, helpless in the face of her unhappiness. He stopped where he was and...
Would this be a good place to point out (okay, rant) about Disney's end-run around the relationship--AGAIN? Why can't they ever just give us kisses instead of giving us a kiss and a slap at the same time?
I think the movie is going to have some moments of genuine gushiness--moments that Piggy...
Piggy from The Great Muppet Caper (or The Muppet Movie) was gloriously lush and the hair...oh my. She was glamor personified. Also, I liked her face shape from that time period better than the current shape (although I've gotten used to it I suppose).
Can't wait to see what you can do, dear!
Chapter 155: It's All in Who You Know
When someone really knows you, words are not necessary. Fleet watched the play of emotions on Piggy's beautiful face—confusion, relief, bafflement, anger and shame. She played with her ring, clearly flustered and uncertain about what to do next. She had...
I cannot say too much (well, I could, but I'm trying not to), but I promise you can trust me. While Piggy will never be defenseless, she will never be without defenders. The road isn't smooth yet, but by the time the frog makes it to Broadway, nothing else will matter.
Cross my heart...
I spent most of the time leading up to The Muppets expecting them to pull a fast one--expecting Kermit to weenie out like a faithless player--because that's who Kermit had BECOME, but in my secret (well, mostly secret) heart-of-hearts I knew that if real muppet fans were involved (thank you...
Chapter 154: Dinner and a Showdown, Part 2
To say that Seymour dressed with especial care would be like saying that Piggy was pretty or a little opinionated. The casino partner was practically in a trance as he prepared for the evening.
This would be the evening, this would be the moment when...
For my faithful readers--and any new ones--I appreciate you so much you cannot imagine. Happy holidays and much love.

Chapter 154: Dinner and a Showdown (2 parts)
Building a relationship takes time, and building trust sometimes takes longer. Clifford took off the headphones, his...
Kermit: Wow. That's a, that's a big tree.
Fozzie: I KNOW! Isn't it great!
Kermit: Um, well--
Gonzo: Yeah! I'll get my sledgehammer! (scampers off)
Rizzo: I think if we just ram it through the door....
Piggy: I am pretty sure that I have something nice from Tiffany's to put on the angel...
There's a certain banjo-playing frog who has a lot to be thankful for! Piggy looks just lovely in her pilgrim-inspired Thanksgiving togs. (You'll notice I did not say "Puritan-inspired" togs!) Large white collar, white cuffs, white gloves, a black fitted jacket and a short and sassy black...
I really love this pic--it shows the affection and delight they usually have in each other's company (when they aren't fighting).
Thank you so much for sharing. (Any way to get a copy of this pic in print form?)
