So, Muppet Jumanji
This is the most judgey comma I’ve seen in a while. Very well done
I can’t tell you how many times I think of an amusing idea only to remember that it already exists.
Sounds like Drunk Muppet History to me. Why not?
…
Excuse me? What now?
In one of the newer jumanji movies the kids that get trapped in the game are played by jack black/dwayne Johnson/kevin hart.
Karen Gillian too right?
Yes, thanks. For some reason I can’t edit that right now.
- It’s not the whole franchise, so that’s not entirely accurate, and 2. the movie they’re referencing was the weakest of all the Jumanji cash-grabs (funded in no small part by Hart & Johnson), so there’s little likelihood that anyone would complain — Besides, it’s the fuckin’ Muppets! Let’s go-o-o-o!
Wait, but the new jumanji beats Zathura by a long shot, both pale to original jumanji.
Every bullshit attempt after the Robin Williams classic isn’t worth being referred to as a Jumanji movie. Case closed.
Whoa whoa whoa - the Jumanji reboot was excellent. It’s still a kids movie, but Jack Black was amazing, and even Kevin “Homophobe” Hart showed some chops. And the Rock and Karen Gilliam are both good as always.
Yes, it’s a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia, but everything now is a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia. At least they updated the board game idea to have fun 80s video game call backs and tried their best for a good script and good acting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Miss Piggy would definitely call it a Boarbarian, however.
“Kermit the Bard here…”
I heard that. 🥰
I now really want to see a version of Rainbow Connection but with more YABOGABI
I do hope she makes a CR ref with “I… would like… to… rrrRRA-A-AGE!!”
I envision this as something Community would have pulled off if the rights were in place. I miss that show…
I miss the banned episode
Chang is the asshole of all assholes on that series and shows up in Dark Elf makeup… https://youtu.be/dk4eT5huZxc?si=hjxQTnxlhyVt75_L Because of course he did.
My favorite is when you have a great serious performance with Muppets as the costars like Michael Cain in the Muppets Christmas Carol
I watched that on Christmas solely for how straight Michael Caine plays it in a fuckin Muppet movie ❤️
As I’ve seen before, there’s only 2 best ways to act alongside Muppets:
- Michael Cain method- they are the same as human costars and I will play this as seriously as a car wreck
Or
- Tim Curry method- this is a muppet film and I will act like I myself am a muppet, no silliness is too silly
If you like the “cutting back and forth between table and in-game” part, the Gamers series by Zombie Orpheus Entertainment would be right up your alley. Particularly “Dorkness Rising,” easily the most quotable film in the set.
“sigh My, what fine yet rustic architecture. I will examine it more closely.”
This is the second time in the last week I’ve been told I should watch this series.
I think it’s a sign
Basically kinda like Drunk History.
Drunk history vibes. I can dig it. 👍
Excuse me, but you can’t be voiced by a muppet.
Not with that attitude
