Next Muppet Movie

[Marky]

Unless you use people who will never age and always be at the same height of popularity, a movie will automatically date over a number of years. It can't be helped.

Of course, it's just that tv and movie stars were viewed differently as a whole, back then, and Celebrity cameos weren't as standard and ho-hum as they are today.

I don't know. Even movies back then relied on celeb cameos. Marlon Brando's cameo in Superman made him more highly paid than any of the other cast, and he only appeared on screen for a few minutes.

I wouldnt call that a cameo. That was a role.

So, how many lines of dialogue turns a part from a cameo to a role?

He was playing Supermans father. They are not going to give that part to a bit actor. It is not like a waiter or a balloon salesman. How many lines has nothing to do with it.

But the whole reason for using him was to boost ticket sales. Surely it's no different.

I think it is.

I think it is.

Considering he was paid $3.7million for less than 10 minutes and the movie was over 2 hours long, I'd still consider it a cameo. Either way, noone would consider that kind of money to a so called "celebrity" cameo nowadays. That's what we were talking about right?
