Nay-sayers?

Readers,
I recently posted an amazing blog articulating my excitement for the soon-to-be released Muppets movie. Well I was met with a tidal wave of negative comments (and by that I mean two of them.) Therefor I have created a list highlighting why The Muppets will be remembered 50 years from now and you will probably be a smelly old person shoplifting your gum paste from Rite-Aid.

 1) The epic romances between Gonzo & Camilla the Chicken and Kermit & Miss Piggy helped the world not only accept Bi-racial relationships but those between different species.

2) Miss Piggy is the poster child for a positive and healthy self-image for women, especially uptight narcissistic ones.

3) Differences can help us overcome obstacles. I highly doubt The Muppets would have made their fake dreams come true without Kermit's tenacity, Miss Piggy's aggression, Beaker's Clumsiness, etc.

4) You can't see green felt without thinking of Kermit

5) The Muppets were the only puppets to present at The Oscars. The F***ing Oscars!

What do you guys think? What else do The Muppets possess that makes them amazing?

THIS JUST IN...Muppets!

Holy mother of all that is holy and motherly, there will be a new Muppets out this November! Chris Cooper, Amy Adams, Jason Segel, and a noseless asexual puppet named Walter ( I refuse to call him a Muppet just yet) will star in this powerhouse film. 



The brilliant minds behind the Muppets have conjured a story that might as well douse Tregedians in gasoline and set them on fire with shame, it's so brilliant. The plot is complicated so try and keep up: the Muppets must band together once again to save their beloved theater from being destroyed by an oil tycoon (Chris Cooper in probably his most challenging role to date.) 

I doubt this can top "Muppet Treasure Island" ( especially my worn out VHS copy with the foamy case) but I will give it a try. If only for the fact that Lady Gaga, Billy Crystal, and Alan Arkin (hear that Kels?) will reside together in a single film.  This may be a sign of the apocalypse. I'm ready!

God bless you Jim Henson.
