i went on opening night and the audience was nothing but die heart Muppet fans, two were dressed as Statler and Waldorf. when the movie was over we talked about it. so happy Uncle Deadly is back, and to see Wayne and Wanda in the background, awesome.
i saw it again with a bunch of my friends, and only one of them haven't seen TMS, just TMM so after when we had to explain who Thug, Beauregard, and Uncle Deadly to her, we could have slapped her. i'm going to lend her the seasons. loved the movie, so funny, not as good as the orignals, but MCC or MTI good, so i'm very happy.
i want to see Being Elmo, it's not playing theatrically in Canada, i'm no Elmo fan, but Kevin Clash seems like an awesome person to meet.
omg, back to The Muppets [how are we gonna shorten a two word Muppet movie?] the pictures of Jim Henson, well, all the guest stars, but the first one with Jim and Kermit in his office, that one got me. there were plenty of cameo's [Neil Patrick Harris XD] but i still wish the original muppeteers were somewhere, like in the audience, have Steve and Dave in the front row or something... maybe they're hidden in the back. heck, they could have gotten Jerry... kidnap Frank
speaking of [sorry this is long] the guy who took over Jerry's characters, i find does an amazing job, you can tell it's not him, but it's very close. anyone catch that painful Fozzie line when his voice changed in the car asking about Miss Piggie? my sister shook her fist and yelled 'Jacobson!' [she really doesn't like him] finally, i really liked Scooters voice, it's the same as floyd, you can tell it's not Richard, but it's really close, and the reason it can never sound exactly like it is because it was Richard's voice, so the little subtleties in the voice can never be fully copied.
