MUPPETS

i went to see this on tuesday night with someone who, i learned after the movie was over!, had never really watched the muppet show, like, had seen a movie maybe and knew of them 'culturally' or whatevs - i was like, what?? it was his suggestion to see it! no judgment tho... he also thought it was cute and charming. meanwhile i'm totally laughing through the whole thing and tearing up big time when they do the theme song opening number and etc etc etc.
this movie made me realize what a huge part of my formative years the muppets were and that without them my sense of humour would not be what it is.
i liked this movie.

seriously the muppets make me so emotional that i can't even deal, esp at christmastime -- seeing this movie would make me weep in public, which would be muy embarrassing

the muppets/john denver christmas record was one of my favorites as a kid, and i can't even listen to this song but i invite you to try to listen without crying and then tell me how you did it

i can't even THINK about that song without tearing up a little

I can't even THINK about sriracha sauce without sweating a little. honest.

i would eat multiple spoonfuls of sriracha before i listened to "it's in every one of us" in public
too embarrassing

I rank Manhattan with Caper as the best one. And if you rank any of the first three below any of the ones that followed it, you're criminally insane.

Yeah, don't even get me started (I wrote a Facebook post about the awesomeness of A Muppets Family Christmas earlier this week). If I were to enter any particular science, it would be Muppetology.

oh youtube, full of such teary-eyed nostalgia!
i think if i'd seen this with my brother or a childhood friend we would have run out into the streets afterwards and been extremely silly

basically i haven't seen the new muppets movie because i am not looking forward to crying in public
there, i said it

aggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah I saw the movie too, and I think it would be pretty hard to actively dislike

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.

i felt like he was supposed to look like a half-assed nu-80s muppets. and nerdy!
