I think this is one of the best movies ever made (for varying definitions of ‘best’). While I mainly like to enjoy it from ‘within’ the movie (ie, without thinking too much about the who’s who of cameos and so forth), one bit of meta-appreciation I have for the film is the song “Never Before and Never Again.” I like to picture Frank Oz in the studio singing that into a microphone. Really, he is a brilliant performer. ---

“When a German scientist tells you to hold on to your hat, it’s not casual conversation. Hold on to your hat! Hat, hold!” I love the Muppets. I really need to replace my VHS copies of the movies with DVDs. ---
