I've just had a look at his filmography and I find it supremely underwhelming, but ymmv I guess.

are you going by a list of films you've not seen, or by, let's say, his acting in [a bunch of those films and] Freaks & Geeks, his writing on FSM, and the puppetry enthusiasm that saw him Muppeteer a song from his Dracula musical on Craig Ferguson?

I missed this Craig Ferguson thing! Sounds like something I will be looking up.

Trying to work out who's going to have the best and worst cameo in this. Worst will be Gervais probably and I'm torn between Donald Glover and Wanda Sykes as to which will be the best.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 26 May 2011 09:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

Actually Jack Black and Gaga could probably rival Gervais for worst.

Cameos in the original Muppet movie are just so great that they set an unrealistic standard

kinda bummed that they seem to have made statler and waldorf the "villians" instead of just the sardonic greek chorus

Ok, Swedish Chef jokes get me every time. And I doubt S&W are villains, probably just in a meeting because they represent the theater.

is the swedish chef saying "say hello to my little friend?"

The spoof trailers were much better. That doesn't make me want to see it at all.

― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 19 June 2011 14:34 (1 year ago) Permalink

As a whole, kind of eh...

But the part where they start the Muppet Show theme song gave me the tingles

― mh, Sunday, 19 June 2011 14:37 (1 year ago) Permalink

thats the first thing that has made me want to see this... fart shoes!!!!!!!!!

looks great, so much better than any muppet film since 'manhattan' and 'caper'.

As with Space Jam, I couldn't recognize a few of the characters from just their voices, and that worries me. But I'll still see it, if only to avoid rationalizing why I saw Space Jam and not this.

Space Jam was just a fucking tragedy.

If it turns out to be Glee with Muppets I'll be disappointed.

not watching the real trailer, but can't imagine they would have brought McKenzie in to co-write new songs if it was all going to be pop covers

Feist doing 1,2,3,4 on Sesame Street was a huge thing - which I'm sure is why she's in this one

You know, if you had Newsom as a real life Janice, you'd just need to cast everyone else. (Who would be a good modern Dr. Teeth in place of Dr. John? Cee-Lo?)
