i think they really underused / poorly used their cameos in this film.
― Mordy, Monday, 28 November 2011 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
the great choices (NPH, Silverman) barely had any lines, and the cameos that had many lines (like Jack Black) were basically worthless
Yeah, during the postfilm meal, my wife said "they left out Robin" and I said "nah, they renamed him Walter."

Liked Alan Arkin's unenthusiastic scattering of pixie dust, also Amy Adams' 5 seconds of the Chaplin rolls dance. (She was criminally neglected though.)

dunno if this is true really
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 28 November 2011 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
yeah Arkin was good

i wanted somebody with gravitas. funny muppet cameos are people like vanessa redgrave or maybe jessica lange or hell even steven tyler

Fozzie doesn't say words like that.
Don't know why people are getting so up in arms about this one.
Also, you do know the chickens were clucking "Forget You," right?

Amy Adams' 5 seconds of the Chaplin rolls dance. (She was criminally neglected though.)
Neglecting Adams is like a "keys to the city"-worthy act.

I kinda hate her for her part in that terrible Julia and Julia movie. which is (I think?) the only other thing I've seen her in
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 28 November 2011 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
no idea why Morbz likes her
Enchanted?
― remy bean in exile, Monday, 28 November 2011 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
She was good in The Fighter -- washed the cloying taste of the Julie character right out of my brain.
― William (C), Monday, 28 November 2011 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
The Fighter is the one and only time I've been anything other than actively annoyed by her.
― Eric H., Monday, 28 November 2011 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
See the diff? The adults supply the dirtiness.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 28 November 2011 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
i thought all of the fighter was annoying; she wasn't the worst thing in it so....

Adams is the most Muppety actor to appear w/ them since J Denver

I want to make a joke about Massive Attack's "Man Next Door" here but it seems labored

If they'd made it "whoopee shoes" we'd have to come up with all new reasons to talk about Amy Adams.
― William (C), Monday, 28 November 2011 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
also probably would've meant that Whoopi Goldberg got more lines

I purposefully trekked to the Muppet studio in Hollywood in July bcz it's Chaplin's old one. So, better movie with me, eh?
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 28 November 2011 21:30 (twelve years ago) link
I once saw Chaplin eat a fart shoe with a fork and knife.
― Eric H., Monday, 28 November 2011 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
It's like a kind of tortureTo have to read the posts!
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 28 November 2011 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
true story: i once saw fred durst driving into the muppet studio w/ a six foot drag queen in the passenger seat.
― remy bean in exile, Monday, 28 November 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link
And then the passenger threw scalding grits on the Swedish Chef?

was that Miss Poogy w/ Durst?
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 28 November 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
The Moopets definitely had their own thing going. Grohl might as well just do that for the rest of his days. (Saw it last night; my girlfriend says I was giggling for almost the entire film and I'll take her word for it.)
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
That's the only thing that irritated me about this movie, I thought the rest was great.
The Moopets kinda reminded me of the Feebles.

Yeah I saw the movie too, and I think it would be pretty hard to actively dislike
― Hurting, Friday, 16 December 2011 04:57 (twelve years ago) link
But I'm sure someone ITT will try!
i invite you to try to listen without crying and then tell me how you did it
well, not a big fan of Robin the Frog

i guess that's not surprising

thought the new one is fine and all, nothing much to complain about. but i have to say: walter is an ugly muppet! just unattractive. not cute. really doesn't look like much effort went into the little guy's getup.
