What's funny is the *other* Christian film, God's Not Dead, cost only a million dollars or so to make and is making much more money in the long run than Noah. Which is to say, it's all about script. And why I wish someday they would make a truly independent feeling(ie: good 'low budget') Muppet...

Im usually not too taken in by zillion dollar summer action movies, but man...Captain America 2 looks amazing. More excited about that than I was Avengers. And yeah, MMW is hanging in there. I think it woulda been better to open it in April. Oh well. (Remember MFS opened in March...never a...

@Dr Tooth: Yes! The Muppet Television half of JHH and the Innertube pilot are some of my fave thing ever. The nostalgiatoids can live in 1978 forever, but man do I love 1987-1990 era Jim Henson(Muppet Family Christmas, JHH, Muppet Vision 3d, Cosby Show episode, Tales from the Bunny Picnic...

I'm surprised more hasn't been made of this, but to me one of the biggest surprises of Muppets Most Wanted is that essentially, Constantine is spoofing the TWO BIGGEST annoying tropes by less than casual fans: 1. The average person conflating the Muppet Show with Sesame Street 2. The average...

So uh...how'd we do?

I apologize for saying that fans stuck in the 70's aren't real Muppet fans...but the notion of a 70's styled vaudville show making it past 6 episodes, let alone 13(and most likely dumped as a mid season test) in 2014 or beyond is ridiculous. Didn't they do a few test shows of a "mockumentary"...

Consider that tv shows like Dr Who, Breaking Bad, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and of course Adventure Time are INFINITELY more popular (I hate to say) than the Muppets and their films. I hate to say, again. But...an insanely well written, funny show? That could REALLY change perceptions...

Also I too am kind of sick of the Kermit/Piggy relationship being brought up in EVERY SINGLE tv interview/press junket, with Whitmire having to do the shrug crinkleface Kermit expression, trying to sheepishly avoid the question. It's so old. And tired. Just have a public Hollywood wedding and...

I think Letters To Santa, despite the truncated 45 minute allotment, is the best looking Muppet production since Jim Henson's passing. Least before MMW. Noone really talks about that one, but to me it has such a great look and vibe. REALLY wish it had been 90 minutes like Oz and AVMMCM(which I...

But that is the joke. In so many of the episodes of 5 TMS seasons. People somehow remember Statler and Waldorf continually slamming the show, but Kermit and many others do that as well. Within the world of the TMS backstage they're aware it's a "terrible" show noone will want to watch. MMW the...

Yeah I'm not sure a lot of fans really get the joke Constantine was representing. I mean think about it folks. Think of all the cliches he represents 1. Conflating Muppet Show with Sesame Street. The first scene we see of Constantine assuming the role of Kermit is thinking Muppet Show is...

We must have seen two different cuts then;) I was crying most the film too...from laughter:) Seriously though, I rarely laugh at even my own favorite comedies. There was just this undercurrent of meta humor I was picking on that really got to me. Of course though it was a stupid plot. The...

I think this movie has become a strange sort of rorschach test for fans. It also proves we don't all blindly love something just because it's Muppet related. For those that disliked it or were disappointed, all I can say is I'm sorry you didn't appreciate it as well as I did. Just like I'm sure...

I've noticed that my absolute favorite Disney movies of the last 15 years have all been films that either 1) Disappointed at the box office or 2) Did ok at the box office but got written off by critics and fans and are not very popular. Emperor's New Groove, Up, Tron Legacy...love all these...

Haha, sounds like the complaint of kid's these days, not a critic. Then again I guess a lot of critics are akin to spoiled kids

I just cant get into the TMNT modern cgi series at all. Like the Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon, the cgi bugs me. And while there's an amusing roster of bad guys, I just can't get into the designs of the way the turtles themselves look. In fact I downright cringe when I see them. Plus I hate the...

I agree that ultimately it doesn't matter. Maybe I am the hipster thinking it's probably better the Muppets is just for the people who "get it". There is no doubt in my mind that the franchise isn't really for society as a whole. Adventure Time, My Little Pony and Dr Who each seem to have a way...

Now you have me wondering if Segal and Adams starring roles were the training wheels/weightlift spotter or co-pilot, so to speak.

Hat tip to Drtooth, tho I think this deserves an official moment of silence to pay our respects to a completely ruined franchise. If you want to remember the Ninja Turtles as an amazing black and white comic, a wildly entertaining 80s kids cartoon, a pretty well done early 2000s kids cartoon...

Who even knows who Peabody is? Im 36 and I've hardly even heard of that franchise. I can't believe the low turnout is because of critics. Divergent got 41% on rotten tomatoes/meta critic. I guess it's just one of those anomalies, and it's a shame as it's a really funny movie I felt. (Disney...
