Has anyone seen this? What is the plot line?

It hasn't come to our theaters in town, and I doubt that it will.

New movie, some details


Heck I love the Muppets.

I can't seem to find any clips or 'official' pages about it though. If it comes to Sidmouth, we'll be down there like a shot.   

I used to love the Muppet Shows they had, with their special guests. Every Friday evening that would be on, and it made us all feel happy, well, in my family it did. I miss shows like that very much, life's got all way too serious these days, and that was a real family show that everyone loved, of all ages.

The Muppet Show

And you can't beat their version of A Christmas Carol

It was never quite the same after Jim died. Kermie tried very hard but he's lost his spark somehow.
If they use the original Muppets, will their voices stay the same? It'll be quite hard for some of them.

I was told this is a Christmas film---and an infant Muppet is born without a father, and this is how it is explained. He/she IS an immaculately conceived Muppet puppet! That is the film I'm asking about.

There's this new one listed for 2008 which also says there is a new feature length movie coming in 2009, but nothing about immaculate conception, so far.

According to tvguide.com, this one was premièred last night!

plot:
Sam the eagle and Sarah Failin lead a mob in chanting: drill baby drill.
The muppets chant back:
no not in our theatre.
Bunson invents a super solar cell for the roof but Beaker has an unfortunate accident which vaporizes Failin.

There was a made-for-TV Muppet Christmas show on NBC last night, with guest appearances by Jesse L. Martin (Detective Ed Green from Law & Order - great singer!), Uma Thurman, Nathan Lane

Pretty weak plot about delivering a kid's letter to Santa at the North Pole, and some so-so songs.

Nowhere near as good as the Muppet Christmas Carol.

BTW, if any of you are watching the MCC this year, keep an eye out for the scene where Beaker and Bunsen come in to persuade Scrooge (Michael Caine) to make a charitable donation.

When he humbugs them out the door, Beaker turns round and flips him the bird! Check it out.

As a point of pedantry perhaps, though a common misunderstanding among non-Catholics, the Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with the conception & birth of Jesus, but rather the conception and personage of the BVM herself. See Here for more.

Well, Mr Beard, Thanks for that, as a non-Catholic I had always assumed it refered to the birth of Jesus.

A day without learning is a day wasted.

So, it is a miacle of God that allowed her to become pregnant by Joseph?? Is that what it says?

No, Art. She was born without Original Sin and was therefore fit to carry the child of god.

Original Sin is a concept I despise. Years ago an unbaptised child went to Limbo - unfit to see the lord but not guilty and so not punished.

The pope said Limbo didn't exist so all those babies went to heaven (I guess).

Look at a newborn baby and tell me that he is not pure and perfect, a clean slate.

My original sign was Cancer because I was born on July 9th. I didn't like the idea of cancer=====so I had a sign change operation. Now I've been told I can't marry someone with the same sign. If I did do that it'd be a sin!

Go figure!
