Apparently their Muppet film is going to be incredibly old fashioned, with the familiar Muppet characters putting on a show to save an old theater (the theater from The Muppet Show?). The danger? An evil character wants to tear the place down to get at the oil underneath. It’s sort of current!
Gee, I wonder how much oil it will take to make the film, what with all the power requirements, transportation, set design, and so forth.
Can’t Hollystupid just make an entertaining movie with some deep, leftard moral point anymore? It’s no wonder I enjoyed Cloverfield so much. It’s hard being green.
Teach hates all muppets
Since the theater is in the heart of an old city (one would assume), they could just as easily have the city wanting it via eminent domain to build something meanigful like, say, a shopping mall or a basketball arena, or an arts facility. just like they took buildings in Newark, NJ in the name of urban renewal.
