Was driving with a friend when she told me she did not know who the Muppets were. Not "hasn't seen a Muppet thing," had truly never heard of them. Do you know how insane I felt trying to explain the concept of Muppets? Like trying to define the word "soft."
"They're puppets, and some of them are animals, but some are just like, things. But they're all people too. And they're funny. Like actual funny, not 'trying' to be funny. But they are actually trying to be funny... too?"
"Who are they for?"
"Like.... kids? But adults too. Everyone really. But they're not corny. Except sometimes they are, but on purpose. Sorry, I'm going to crash this car if my…
I just can't believe how good the music in this movie is. I think "Rainbow Connection" is one of the best songs ever written for a movie period. Paul Williams is a fucking king and Kenneth Ascher is a fucking prince. And then on top of that, this movie has Muppets in it, which is awesome
These Muppets gave a woman a severe allergic reaction to get an audition, they don't fuck around
“Rainbow Connection“ is one of the sweetest, most heartwarming songs ever committed to film. It will never not make me smile a big, dopey smile. A musical slice of homemade apple pie.
Every cameo is golden. The climax of the film has Kermit and his friends engaging in biological terrorism to force their way into Orson Welles’ office. How fun!!!!
This is how my Muppet ratings work: If I have fun at any point, it gets 5 stars. Who am I to tell these fluffy guys the best way to entertain me?
Had this on in the background on-and-off throughout the day. Not the most active watch, but here are some thoughts:
• The full body shot of Kermit riding a bicycle is insanely funny to me.
• The full body shot of Fozzie on stage at the El Sleezo is also insanely funny to me.
• El Sleezo . . . Hahahahahaha!
• As a kid I had no idea what "drinks on the house" meant.
• As a kid I really didn't know who any of the cameos were outside Steve Martin and maybe Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor (because of The Toy).
• Frank Oz's performance on "Never Before, Never Again" -- especially the climax -- is comedy gold.…
