The Muppets was a surprisingly bittersweet and hard movie. I really liked it.
We did too. We were just singing some of the songs this morning.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

That's interesting, because I found it surprisingly soft and over-sentimental, but I still really enjoyed it.
Also, I really liked the presentation of Segal and Adams's characters. I mean, these are people who hang out with Muppets and initiate dance numbers in the middle of the street, what are you going to do? I also loved the fact that Gary and Walter's being brothers was never elaborated.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hilarious and awesome interview with Chris Evans at Toronto Film Festival (where he's so exhausted that he's lost all brain-to-mouth filter): [link]

I really enjoyed HTTM more than I expected to.
