The muppets have always been aimed at adults as well as kids. Heck, some of Jim Henson's first stuff was on SNL. {nm}

Latest update on Fandango ticket sales: MUPET - 44%, TWLI4 - 19%, ARTHC - 8%, HUGO - 6%, HPYF2 - 4% xiayun Nov 23, 13:16

That's really good for ARTHC if it is indeed ahead of HPYF2 {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 13:19

even Hugo is ahead... {nm} gogreen Nov 23, 14:27

Adults without kids should not be willingly seeing The Muppets {nm} HarryWarden Nov 23, 13:22

I say this in the truest spirit of Thanksgiving: STFU islander Nov 23, 13:29

Classy and wrong. HarryWarden Nov 23, 13:31

Can I at least go to ogle Amy Adams? {nm} Was Bar Was Nov 23, 13:35

Jim Henson's first TV gig was on Ed Sullivan, long before SNL...Mana Mana....Next came Jimmy Dean..(Rowf) Buy StarBondFund Nov 23, 16:30

So now you have the authority to determine when a person shouldn't want to relive their childhood, or to go to fun films anymore? accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 13:55

what he said... {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 23, 13:59

Relive childhood? It's time to move on and grow up. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 23, 14:50

Just because someone is grown up already doesn't mean that they necessarily have to watch "adult" movies. accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 15:18

Gotta love hate-filled responses. STFU. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 23, 15:19

That wasn't hate-filled, just observational. Believe me, I could've done a lot worse. And no, I will not. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 15:22

Yes, it most definitely was hate-filled. HarryWarden Nov 23, 15:27

Listen... accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 15:51

Well... HarryWarden Nov 23, 15:55

I realize that, but... accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 16:04

haha {nm} supersuper Nov 23, 18:33

I thought that it was an intelligent reply. Those who respond with "F.Off" are typically incapable of an intellectual retort. Ergo... PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 23, 15:24

islander did the same thing. And you'd better watch it too. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 23, 15:27

Please settle down. {nm} islander Nov 23, 15:29

(meant for HW) {nm} islander Nov 23, 15:29

Why... HarryWarden Nov 23, 15:31

Oh please! Your threats of legal action are no more than a child's tantrum. "hate" has a VERY specific definition in the law. PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 23, 16:34

Well, HarryWarden Nov 23, 17:27

And since when does... HarryWarden Nov 23, 17:28

*shakes in boots* {nm} PVL Admin (Rocket123) Nov 23, 16:45

Does anybody remember this?... (This thread is an example) RazorHawk Nov 23, 19:20

LOL {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 19:36

Since you seem to be the arbiter of such things, at what point should we stop watching horror/slasher films aimed at teens? High school? {nm} stevie1der328 Nov 23, 15:55

Slasher films are rated R so they're for adults. Teens are more for films like The Grudge and the other PG-13 crapfests. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 23, 15:57

Apparently adults should only watch R rated horror/slasher crapfests, not PG-13 crapfests. {nm} theun4gven Nov 23, 20:56

As an adult without kids who just saw it, I can say that I think that anyone who considers themself a Muppets fan will almost certainly like Ruthian23 Nov 23, 13:49

Just got back from seeing it with the wife. She wanted to go. I enjoyed. About as many adults with no kids as with kids in the theater. {nm} The Commish Nov 23, 14:36

At the time I went (1:20 EST) it was fairly kid heavy, but I actually noticed that a lot of the audible laughs were from adults. Kids seemed Ruthian23 Nov 23, 18:39

Way to troll there. theun4gven Nov 23, 20:54

And more Fandango deals (there are so many of them these days) xiayun Nov 23, 13:23

Nice. The battle royale' between "Muppets" and "Twilight" begins... {nm} VictorY Nov 23, 14:36

A "Twippets" weekend? {nm} DTravel Nov 23, 23:05
