Kermit, Miss Piggy and Mr. Gonzo Smith - 9.26.2006.1
Well I have to mention I just saw that is great. Virtually everyone has seen The Matrix by now. A great film done in a masterful manner. Like all great films there have been many knock-offs and copycat films. Most tend to be sloppy and poorly written, like the movie Equilibrium. But every so often something pops up from an unexpected place and is really worth while.
Fan sites, and the efforts of fans to re-invent their favorite movies or television shows has grown enormously over the last 10 years. Probably 2 of the best know fan fiction subjects are the Star Wars, X-files, and Farscape. The most widely known are probably Farscape and Star Wars. Fans have created novels, short-stories, music videos, and in some cases feature length digital movies.
In that vein there are now The Muppets. This is no Muppets Take Manhattan, but a digital homage to both Mr. Jim Henson and the Wachowski brothers. It has to be seen to be truly enjoyed, but essentially a capsulated version of the movie (or perhaps a couple of the movie trailers) has been created featuring dozens of muppets as the various figures from the movie. I particularly like Kermit and Gonzo. In addition to visually replacing the human lead characters, the voices are kept the same. So Gonzo becomes a darker visage than I ever remembered and for some reason Mr. Keanu Reeves' voice on Kermit seems perfect.
This is a 3 minute video, and won’t take long to load. It’s worth the diversion, I watched it 2x. You can see it here, The MuppetMatrix works on a lot of levels. Enjoy.
This is what I think, what do you think?
