Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Ghoulish Delight]

After seeing the Muppets, I will not argue with anyone for whom it didn't work. I can see that, as a movie, it's weak. But it didn't matter to me one bit simply because it hit the perfect emotional resonance for me. The movie was 100% about how Jason Segel felt towards the Muppets and seeing as he's within a year and a half of my age, the emotional story it told hit close to home. That, combined with finding the various promotional Muppets appearance leading up to the movie funny and well written, I was absolutely delighted to see something that FELT like the Muppets to me (even as I was noticing that I wished there was more actual Muppet antics in the movie). And I'm hoping they parlay that into a solid revival.
