  1. OK, I missed a beat.

    That's a very scary thought, Hannibal Kermit;-)

    Next up is a tricky series. The Bourne trilogy/quadrilogy. Tricky for several reasons, the first of which is because the titular character doesn't appear in all four films. I'm looking at the first three.

    Then we have the difficulty of Miss Piggy. Although there are three strong female characters (Marie/Pamela Landy/Nicky Parsons), their roles are limited in the films.

    So:

    Kermit as Jason Bourne

    Miss Piggy as Nicky Parsons (the role develops across the films)

    Franke Potente and Joan Allen in their original roles

    And a whole host of Muppet support parts!

  2. Truly awful, and as you say, written to use a surplus melody.  You know the drummer from Golden Earring who used body pads as drums?  He wrote the Eastenders theme one night when he fell down the stairs.

    I live and learn. Had no idea about. Thanks for the trivia.

     

    ,I didn't mean to upbraid you for using non-English.

    No worries there. I was just struggling to find something at the time, so a good call on your part.

    That would be odd coming from me, and I'm sure Johnny Foreign can provide a rich seam.

    Ah, yes. If opened to such, then our old friends at the Eurovision Song Contest would be offering their back catalogue. Oh, yes, I see you beat me to it with

    Shooting fish in a barrel.
    I must concede this battle here, my valiant adversary. My arsenal is empty.......

    No, no. I think I may have just located a smidgen of powder within my keg, http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bBQVrCflZ_E, unless I've missed another previous post, in which case I await Miss Amanda's discipline (and, to think so many of us enjoyed this back in the day!);-)

  3. These just get worse. And it doesn't matter which language one chooses when writing(?) this aural assault....

    Well, there was an English version. It's just that I was too lazy to locate a copy online; it wouldn't have been any worse nor better, anyway.

    So  let's keep it English. 

    Ouch!

    How about http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q4L5Bbm5BNw ? I couldn't stand it, especially as it was a song written to fit an existing (awful) melody.

  4. ....... but hard to know where Miss Piggy fits in.  I feel she's a must in a Muppet movie.

    That's fair, but I think it kind of rules out The Good the Bad and the Ugly, though;-) Unless perhaps Miss Piggy takes Rada Rassimov's character María in that one, and plays Rianne Murtaugh (daughter of Roger) in Lethal Weapon.

    I want to offer The Time Machine (the 1960 version with Rod Taylor), next. Kermit as George, Miss Piggy as Weena and one of the Morlocks can play their original role to keep the human/Muppet interaction! Lots of supporting muppet characters!

  5. Park Ranger = wannabe Police Officer. Both roles undertaken (generally) by zealous, officious, dullards.

    Stiletto heels provide many potential "heel in grate" embarrassment events. Glad you're ok and hope the boots weren't too damaged.

  6. Ooh, that's put Kermit reciting various Eastwood catch phrases into my mind. Why didn't "The Good, the....." do that for me?!

    I've never seen it

    I only wish I hadn't; it's three hours I'll never get back! As for the actors, Chiwetel Ejiofor went on to "12 Years a Slave" and Danny Glover was alongside Mel Gibson in the "Lethal Weapon" series of films, which provides my next submission:

    Lethal Weapon with Kermit playing Riggs (Gibson) and Fozzie as Murtaugh (Glover). Gary Busey can reprise his role.

  7. ....... Muppet Ben Hur.

    I was thinking of that originally, but....

    but who'd be the Christ figure?

    Got to be Fozzie, hasn't it?

    OK, a more modern (ahem) epic? 2012 (Only recently seen it and think it one of the biggest wastes of time and money ever. Big pile of *#%!, but that's another subject.). So....

    Kermit taking John Cusack's role as Jackson Curtis

    Fozzie possibly in for Chiwetel Ejiofor as Dr. Adrian Helmsley

    Miss Piggy replacing Amanda Peet as Kate Curtis

    Danny Glover remains as Thomas Wilson, the President of the United States.

    But who could take over from Woody Harrelson as Charlie Frost, a fringe science conspiracy theorist and radio talk show host?
