In a broad sense this is true, but the specific line refers more to Dominic having done this a few nights prior, as in the Muppets are so unwanted that people have been actually turning down the tickets. Not only that, but the audience has to actually be manipulated prior. Yes, the show is...

So far... not great, I'm sad to say fellow fans. http://variety.com/2014/film/news/box-office-divergent-wobbles-may-not-hit-60-million-plus-launch-1201142286/ https://twitter.com/NikkiFinke/status/447251352494682112 Initial estimates were 6.5, which fell to 5.5, which has now settled to an...

I had a lot to rethink about, and while I need a rewatch, I think it wasn't nearly as disappointing as I made it out to be. That being said, one scene comes to mind that put a real rotten taste in my mouth. It's the scene where Walter is spying on Dominic, who pays off the journalist and then...

The whole Da Vinci Code/National Treasure thing really took aback now that I think about it. I think it hurt a lot of the film's pacing and would've been better off without it. I also forgot to mention I loved Beauregard in the movie as the train conductor!

The film is already incredibly long as is, clocking in at 113 minutes. Anyways... I guess I'm going to give the first non-glowing review. Don't get me wrong: I really, really wanted to love this. And I probably also need to rewatch it. It was just... okay. There was a lot of good in there...

Great news, as MMW has rebounded fantastically to 81% on RT: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/muppets_most_wanted/ Of course this pales in comparison to the 2011 film's 96% rating, but there was bound to be a depression since that's just how sequels work. It could've been a whole lot worse.

Looks like it's just pre-recorded, but I can't help but notice that they brought a temporary Whatnot workshop to the El Captain... weren't those supposed to be installed in Disneyland and Walt Disney World years ago?!

So far it's staying balanced on RT at 72%: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/muppets_most_wanted/ My guess is that it'll probably ascend to 75%, which isn't great but not nearly as bad as it could've been.

I really dig the remake of Together Again (Again!) as the finale, but much like the other numbers it does seem to be missing the context of the movie heavily. That's the only thing I can criticize here: there really aren't any stand-out, standalone numbers here like the 2011 film had. While the...

I've been thinking about this one, and on one hand I guess I can see where the confusion arises. For its entire production term, the film was (awkwardly) titled "The Muppets... Again!", and apparently that is still present in the movie. ("We're Doing a Sequel" has the Muppets actually title the...

I was a little perturbed that they never answered if this film was going to be a direct sequel to the first. I know Amy and Jason aren't going to be involved, and Walter most likely will... but is this a follow-up to the Muppets "regaining" their fame, or just an entirely new adventure?

I highly doubt it'll come out in summer 2013 even if they fast-tracked it. (which it sounds like they're doing) That's pretty much expecting the film to be locked-down and finished this time next year. Most likely it'll take a bit longer and Disney will give it the Thanksgiving 2013 slot again...

I'm guessing no one has listened to the commentary yet? ...because James Bobin mentions this website. Just throwing that out there.

I wouldn't read into this draft very much. The first scenes are the biggest tell, with no jokes and just big happy lines to move the plot along. It's not just a first draft, it's a dummy pitch draft. In other words, the writers take their structure that they mapped out, jot it down very quickly...

I remember lurking here years ago and the top headline was for the release of a new YouTube video. My oh my how things have changed for the better.

They still do perform them, and with only two songs there's a far greater chance that the full song will be performed. Include the fact that the Oscars is produced by ABC, and to that extent, Disney, more than just Walter and Jason will appear, I guarantee it.

Yeah, color me surprised that "Life's a Happy Song" wasn't nominated. But whatever. It has one contender... from RIO. Oh my god I think a Muppet movie is about to win an Academy Award.

This weekend it dropped to a miserable 285 theaters. The DVD was announced. It's very close to vanishing.

http://www.toughpigs.com/themuppets-dvd/ Amazon confirms, March 20th, which is two months from tomorrow. We have a lengthy blooper reel, the full Tex Richman rap, an audio commentary with Segel, Stoller and Bobin, ten minutes of deleted scenes, a 15-minute making-of featurette, screen tests...

Heh I was just in the shower thinking, "Hey, shouldn't they have released a date for the Muppets blu-ray by now?" Got out and sure enough just today they have. Good timing, brain! Somebody should... y'know... make a thread
