(Justin Timberlake, OTOH, is flying quite high right now...).

I was yelling at the screen. Seinfeld's was the best. A close second was the lead singer for The Darkness, for a Samsung accessory w a stylus pen. I almost want The Darkness to headline next year's halftime show. The Bueller ad was a terrible disappointment.

Also, projects like "The Devil Wears Prada", "Mamma Mia" and "Julia and Julia" were all box office hits, a resurgence of Streep's career. That said , your comments about mimicry are well noted.

Susan Slept Here leaves Christmas behind after its first act; and I found it unwatchable. Why not recommend Aliester Sim's Christmas Carol?

A full collaborative effort. The Newt comments, by contrast, originated solely from a guy who wanted to remove his name from the credits, whose sole talent is that his voice is most approximate to Jim Henson's. The movie is safe. The interviews may or may not be.

You don't go to a Muppet movie looking for nuance. Tue, 6 Dec 2011 19:17:13 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2011/12/06/fox-business-left-wing-messaging-in-the-muppets/#IDComment233807666 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2011/12/06/fox-business-left-wing-messaging-in-the-muppets/#IDComment233802140 He's named Tex Richman for the same reason Avatar's special mineral was called "Unobtainius"--it's a short cut manner to cut to the essence of that particular character. But why stop there? Is it not stereotyping on the positive portrayal of small town life? Or the snootiness of Parisian fashion magazine editors? Or the musical ineptitude of David Grohl? The long and short of it is that the examples I shared contradict this particular analysts' conclusions. Some children's movies do have an agenda, that's for sure. This one most certainly does. But it's sole purpose is to introduce a jaded, technologically-savvy, social-media saturated culture to the joys of old-school Muppetdom. Any other "agenda" is simply over-reaching. Mahna mahna.

SPOILERS- Kermit rounds up the whole gang in a gas-guzzler, and the telethon is almost derailed due to the loss of electricity. The act of "putting on a show" is inherently a capitalist act. This film is anti-GREED, not anti-oil-industries, nor anti-business.
