2024 discussion threads
Instead of making live action remakes of animated movies, we should make more Muppets remakes of live action movies.
Muppet John Wick
Muppet Gattaca
Muppet Mean Girls
Muppet Die Hard
Muppet Oppenheimer
Muppenheimer
Mubarbenheimet
*flails arms* I am become death, destroyer of worlds! YAAAAAAAAAY!
I would totally watch Muppet Gattaca!
"A valid, a made muppet, he [Fozzie]] suffered a different burden, the burden of perfection."
"Wakka wakka wakka..."
Muppet Fifty Shades of Grey
“eeeeerrrrrMiss Piggy? I don’t make love. eeeerrrrrr I fuck. Hard. Mhm.”
I’m still hoping for Muppet Princess Bride
oh my GOD
Sweetums as Fezzik!
Kermit as DPR
Gonzo as Inigo
The one human cast member as the six-fingered man
This thing writes itself!
Edit: Bunson Honeydew as Miracle Max!
Edit: Bunson Honeydew as Miracle Max!
Beaker as the ~~witch~~ wife
Yes!
I think Gonzo should be Vizzini.
Scooter should be Inigo. He has total commitment to the matter at hand no matter how difficult.
Fozzie is, of course, Fezzik.
The Albino is played by the Swedish Chef.
Prince Humperdink is played by Rizzo the Rat.
Scooter doesn't have enough presence for Inigo, but he might make a good Vizzini
Fozzie's the priest at the wedding
So Sweetums is Fezzik?
Makes the most sense to me. Je's got the build for it and Fozzie does not.
That would be nice indeed
That's why Muppet Treasure Island and A Muppet Christmas Carol are among my favorite movies.
I mean that's kind of the Lego movies direction/fad right?
Saved me making the same comment!
I will watch every muppet retelling I can get my eyes on
Best we can do is a 20 year old theatre attraction in our park that we may or may not be tearing down at some point.
Had to check this wasn’t c/theonion or something similar.
On the week when inside out 2 releases, this is irony turned all the way up to 11.
Damn. Like the only remake I really want to see is Toy Story but with Pixar’s modern tech. Same voice acting, same soundtrack, but no more uncanny valley Sid.
Yeah, original, like Toy Story 2, 3, 4, 5
Car 2, 3
Planes 1, 2
Monster Inc 2
A sequel is still an original story. At least compared to "the same movie we sold you in the 90s but now with soulless photorealistic CGI rather than charming 2d animation"
oh, right. You mean like..... EVERY Disney's live action adaptations? There are a lot of them lately indeed.
Yes exactly.
What in the fuck there's a planes movie
Planes was just.... wtf. Like they might as well just make movies about an incredible mule that plays hocky, after all the rule book doesn't say a speed boat can't be in the Olympics.
Kill the Pixar wedigo.
I haven't gone out of my way to see the move action Disney films but you can't blame them for literally printing money
You can't critisize them, only if you solely view films as products to be sold and judged on profitability. It is ironic though coming from someone who, 2 sentences later says:
“Part of our strategy is to try to balance our output with more sequels. It’s hard. Everybody says, ‘Why don’t they do more original stuff?’ And then when we do, people don’t see it because they’re not familiar with it,” he said. “With sequels, people think, ‘Oh, I’ve seen that. I know that I like it.’ Sequels are very valuable that way.”
as if regurgitation of ideas just for familiarity's sake is any better.
