Green with Envy?

I saw the new Pirates movie this weekend, and I totally geeked out over this trailer:



I'm so excited! I am a Muppets geek.

The trailer threw me for a loop at first.  I knew a long time ago that Jason Segel and Amy Adams were doing the new Muppet movie together, so when I saw them in this trailer, I thought Sweet! The Muppets movie! But when the preview started like a romantic movie, I was totally thrown off, and thought that maybe it wasn't the Muppets.  But, soon enough, enter Kermit and Miss Piggy! I threw my fist in the air and yelled YES! for the whole theater to hear. (Apparently this is Disney's strategy for their marketing campaign, as the trailer is billed as Green with Envy, and does not hint at all to being a Muppet movie).

So, yes, I do geek out. In a theater filled with hundreds of people. Be warned.

(Un)Divine Comedy

I went to Divine Comedy this evening with my friend from home. Overall, I thought the show was kinda lousy. Okay, DC, we all know that people at BYU get engaged and married way too quickly and young, but do you have to make that the focal point of every show that you do? While there is much about BYU and Mormon culture to make fun of, I wish Divine Comedy would do something more fresh and creative. I also feel kinda cheated at the end of some skits. Most end way too soon and they could have taken things further and made it even more funny.

Anyway, the unintentional (was it?) trans-gender joke of the night: In Pioneer Trek (DC's spoof on Star Trek), Spock is a lady, but when future-Spock comes into the fray, she (he) is played by a guy! "He's a She! She's a He! He's a She-She!" So, if I am to theorize correctly, Spock gets a sex-change and becomes a trans-gender man. Many say that they had to do this because they did not have any more female actresses, but that ruins my fun.

So, I don't think I will be going back to Divine Comedy anytime soon. Especially when there are more entertaining things to do on a Saturday night. Like watching this over and over:

I just love the Muppets! They make me smile when nothing else will. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
