    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I thought that the studio and theater were next door to each other, not neccessarily connected. They were both there at the end when Kermit made his big speech, and Rizzo (and the other rats) was with Beauregard during the final song.

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I think he also mentioned Swedish Chefs and boomerang fish. With Rizzo only being in the background a few times and no lines, this must be the first Muppet movie where Lips has more screentime than Rizzo (though Lips doesn't have any lines, ether... I think Rizzo just barely had more...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    Currently watching Snoopy Come Home on ABC Family, and just started wondering, was the scene where Charlie Brown tells Linus about how he first got Snoopy based on an existing strip? The same basic scene appears in Life's a Circus, Charlie Brown as well, so I'm willing to bet it is.

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Practically half the songs from The Muppets are stuck in my head now.

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I just realised some irony: This movie and It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie have very similar plots (though this one's not a Christmas movie), and the original releases have been close to the same time of year; this came out on thanksgiving (well, the day before thanksgiving), and Very...

    How well does the new movie have to do?

    I saw a website (I think Box Office Mojo) which listed the box office totals for all the movies including current results for The Muppets. It looks like it's currently 2 million dollars below what Muppets from Space made, let's hope within a week it at least makes more.

    "The Muppets": What made you cry

    I never actually cried, but did feel a bit teary during "Pictures in my Head" and the "Rainbow Connection" finale.

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I meant a reference to an earlier joke, where somebody asked about something they were wrong about and someone else just confirmed they were right. Was Judd Hirch's cameo cut? I thought I read he was left in, but I don't remember seeing him in the movie. The montage with characters being...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I wrote a review for Muppet Central, though now I'm not sure if I was supposed to send a rating in. I give it whatever the highest rating number is that Muppet Central reviews can have. It seems the "aren't you one of the Ninja Turtles?" line was like a callback to a few earlier jokes...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I saw it tonight. It was amazing. This is my best Thanksgiving ever! The movie definately measures up to the original trilogy and The Muppet Show. The reports kept saying it has every Muppet we can think of, but I only noticed a handful of characters I hadn't seen in the trailers (a couple of...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Regarding Uncle Deadly, in the novel it's clear that he's a fan of The Muppets but is intimidated by Tex Richman. Not sure if the movie shows signs that he's a fan, but I'll find out tonight.

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    There was an interview with the director which explained the reason, claiming to give it a sense of "realism". He said that some characters simply missed their cues or forgot where to go. But if that's the case (and I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm going by what we saw in the commercials)...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I had seen rehearsal footage of the finale on youtube, which included the whole audio (or at least most of it, something about the beginning didn't sound right), and there was one part that I thought was Fozzie, but then after reading The Muppet Mindset's review and seeing that Marvin Suggs...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Is it sung by the same person as in the soundtrack? I've read the name of that celebrity, one I don't recognize and can't remember, and I thought the hobo was a man (the book refers to the hobo as "Hobo Joe").

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I think we all wish for the DVD to have lots of deleted scenes and bonus material. I know you've mentioned this a few times, but I can't remember the threads and don't feel like searching every thread I expect it to be brought up in, but you've said that in the script there was some sort of...

    How well does the new movie have to do?

    Have the current box office sales been posted anywhere yet? Is that common/uncommon for box office results to be posted on opening day?

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I was referring to the actual wedding, not the aftermath. In the book it includes a portion of the wedding, with Kermit saying "I thought Gonzo was going to play the priest" (a difference from how the movie referred to him as a "minister", but that's just a junior novel). Was that an actual clip...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    If important plot points were cut, I wonder if many of the acts in the telethon were cut. I would have thought it'd be easier to cut those as they likely wouldn't have much importance to the plot. When I read the junior novel and saw the flashback to the wedding, I had wondered if it would...

    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    I mentioned seeing an article where the director (or was it one of the writers?) said the reason for empty arches was for "realism", citing that some characters missed their cues. I'm thinking if that's the case (and maybe they do and I don't know it yet) they should have had some Muppets...

    Question about Jim Henson's Performer Credits on SST

    Has Walt Disney's name been above any of the Disney films made after his death? I feel like they have but I'm not very sure. I have noticed that some of the recent Henson productions had "The Jim Henson Company's" above the title isntead.
