    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...
