'Destiny'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I was just mentioning HTTM because we watched The Muppets last night, and I said both movies were aimed exactly at my generation, just one was aimed at teenage me and the other aimed at child me.
The Muppets was a surprisingly bittersweet and hard movie. I really liked it.
I found The Muppets kind of creepy, especially our human heroes.
I just watch HTTM, and I think the best and funniest part is Rob Courddry singing at the end. Which I guess doesn't say much for the middle of the movie.

We did too. We were just singing some of the songs this morning.

It really is. I love it to bits (and still want to be on the Muppet Show someday!), but parts of it are very hard.
I agree with Connie. I found Siegal and Adams to be annoyingly over the top and arch. I wanted to love that movie so much!! I should watch it again, see if it improves on a second viewing.
I agree with Connie.
I shall love this sentence, and squeeze it, and call it George.

Ha!! I feel like one of the keys to making the Muppets feel real is to have the humans interact with them naturally, and I found Siegal and Adams cloyingly over-earnest. It pulled me out of the movie.
It was like a weird Ozzie and Harriet meet the Muppets. Or a candy-colored Pleasantville.
Just saw The Master. I loved it and thought it was subtle and unique and thoughtful and beautifully acted, but the peeps I was with thought it was "too long" and "not about anything." So, you takes your chances with this one.
