Comments on: Nicholas Stoller says Jason Segel will Star in the new Muppet Movie http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/18/nicholas-stoller-says-jason-segel-will-star-in-the-new-muppet-movie/ Blogging the Reel World Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:33:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Erik http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/18/nicholas-stoller-says-jason-segel-will-star-in-the-new-muppet-movie/#comment-436213 Erik Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:07:40 +0000 http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/18/nicholas-stoller-says-jason-segel-will-star-in-the-new-muppet-movie/#comment-436213 As far as future movie ideas go, I REALLY hope they return back to the concept that the Muppets live in a Muppet world with Human guests, NOT a Human world with Muppet guests. I always thought that the best Muppet movies/shows were the ones that let us relax completely in the Muppet fantasy. Although movies like 'Muppets Take Manhattan' had good stuff going for it, don't you think it was strange in a distracting way for everything to be human around them. And don't you think it would have been WAY cooler if the movie was set a Muppet World's New York with human guests? Think of the world created in 'Muppets Christmas Carol'! Also, I really hope they keep the jokes and material appropriate for all ages, as that has been the point of the Muppets from the beginning, something that everyone can enjoy. While it can take more effort to do this well, it would be worth it. However, from their choice in people working on this movie, I suspect that they may try to make more Adult Muppet stuff, which is frankly, weird. Weird in a bad way, not a Gonzo way.

It could be my imagination, but didn't they do that at the beginning of that movie...having to go around and collect the various Muppets who had taken up various jobs/vocations across america? And why use the word "diaspora"? Isn't that reserved for the scattering of Jews or religious groups? Although the Muppets may be a religion in and of themselves.
