Here I Kvetch Again

( Cut for movie poster and kvetching... )

ETA:    This is the first remake-without-its-creator that struck a nerve this deeply, unexpectedly so.     Maybe "Star Trek" didn't feel so wrong because Roddenberry was never onscreen and especially never played the lead characters.      Henson did.   Maybe I can just ignore new Looney Tunes without Mel Blanc because his contribution was more discrete.

 I had a visceral reaction to what I perceived as the moviemakers' intention to plunge onward regardless of some irreplaceable missing factors.      None of the other Big Three Muppet movie posters made as big a deal out of Muppet Lower Halves as this one appears to be.

Maybe I never got over the suddenness and perceived cosmic unfairness of Henson's death   8/

I don't care why and I'm not apologizing for it.     DO.     NOT.     WANT.
