Really 2011? What NEXT Can You Do To Disappoint Me? You Are OFFICIALLY The Stupidest Year Of My Life And It's Not Even JUNE Yet!
Boy I am hating 2011. Not for anything happening in my life specifically but for all the stupid shit happening around me that I can only stare at in disbelief. I have had wicked insomnia this past week and what I saw a few days ago isn't helping my mind shut down anytime soon.
I speak of the terrible poster they released for the upcoming Muppet movie. It is an abomination. I can't even take the time to research my facts before spouting out some balloon juice because there can be no explanation other than the one I don't want to hear.
I agree with what Bill Maher said on his show last week. Muppets DO NOT HAVE FEET. They never had feet they never will have feet. What was so wrong with the way these 'puppets' moved in the past that needed to be 'corrected'? They are not cute with legs. They are creepy and scary. Especially Fozie.
I could take Kermit riding a bicycle in the first Muppet Movie. That was such a cool effect for a puppet that we had never seen before. Besides, we all knew what Kermit's feet looked like because they were always hanging over that wall he sat on to talk to people.
I am up to the limit of my patience for this disrespect for Jim Henson as an 'artist'. The Muppets were so great because they were the perfect combination of puppet and human working together. They were a magical illusion that is totally destroyed when you turn them into computer effects. They are better than that. The Muppets I know have SOULS. Whatever those THINGS on that poster are, I know they are as empty inside as both Olsen Twins.
