DAMMIT: Nirvana Musical Being Discussed

October 25th, 2012 Dan Bogosian

We can all pray that this doesn’t happen (please God don’t let this happen), but today manager Sam Luft commented that he and Courtney Love are in fact “currently working on a possible motion picture or Broadway musical based on the Nirvana catalogue, based on her life and Kurt Cobain’s.” While we think this idea works with some artists (you know, like ABBA, and… you know… ABBA), surely Nirvana is not one of those artists.

This comes fresh off the news that CBS intends to have a sitcom called “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. It is unknown whether CBS …

MOVIE REVIEW: The Muppets

November 25th, 2011 James Shotwell

Film: The Muppets
Release date: November 23, 2011

When I first heard rumors of a new Muppets movie I have to admit I got a little excited. The little kid inside of me remembered watching taped reruns with my family before going to bed. Every year we had to listen to The Muppets christmas album while decorating the tree, much to the chagrin of my younger siblings. They just didn’t get it, somehow The Muppets phenomenon seemed to end with my age group. Then the spoof trailers and posters started to come out and that little bit of hope and …

WATCH: Kermit And Muppets’ Composer Bret McKenzie Perform “Life’s A Happy Song”

November 21st, 2011 James Shotwell

It is officially Muppets week and to celebrate, we thought we could kickstart everyone’s Monday with a song from our friend Kermit The Frog.

Joined by Muppets composer Bret McKenzie, Kermit performs the opening song from the upcoming film, The Muppets. It is entitled “Life’s A Happy Song” and in typical Muppets fashion lives up to its name (and then some…chaos). You can view the clip, courtesy of the New York Times, after the jump.

The Muppets arrives in theaters November 23. If you cannot make it out opening day, consider it the perfect way to end Thanksgiving dinner …

WATCH: The Muppets On SNL

November 20th, 2011 James Shotwell

Jason Segel was the celebrity host of Saturday Night Live this week and brought along his latest costars for the show.

Assisting in two skits, including the opening monologue, Segel was joined by the one and only Muppets. Songs, jokes, and on-the-nose humor as only The Muppets can do. You can view both sketches after the jump.

We have said it before and will say it a few more times before Wednesday, but The Muppets opens in theaters on November 23. If you are not already planning on going, cancel whatever you think is better and commit yourself to hanging …

Forget “The Twilight Saga,” We Want “The Muppet Saga”

November 16th, 2011 James Shotwell

There’s a lot of hype surrounding the return of emotionally crippled teenagers in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One this week, but we’ve found something we think would be much, much better.

First spotted on AICN, The Muppets have given us their take on the world of supernatural teen romance with a series of promotional posters known as The Muppet Saga. You can view this hilarious series after the jump.

If you must surround yourself with love-starved teens this weekend (or if you are one), remember that The Muppets opens in theaters November 23 and deserves at …

Walter-Gary

[Another] MOVIE TRAILER: The Muppets

October 13th, 2011 James Shotwell

A new trailer for The Muppets has arrived online and you can view all the puppet-y fun right here on UTG!

We’ve seen a lot of adds for the upcoming return of The Muppets, but this is actually the first trailer to show anything related to the plot of the film. Apparently Amy Adams and Jason Segel, along with a muppet named Walter, travel from their home (we’re guessing the midwest) to Hollywood in search of the Muppets. Upon arriving, the trio realizes no one cares about The Muppets anymore and then (of course) decide to help them out. …

MOVIE TRAILER: The Muppets

June 16th, 2011 James Shotwell

We have brought you a trailer or two already for The Muppets, but we already have another! Due out November 23 (Editor James Shotwell’s birthday), The Muppets marks the first big screen release for the franchise in over a decade. Look below for the latest teaser for the film, entitled “Being Green.”

Obviously making a gag out of advertisements for The Green Lantern, the trailer takes yet another “meta” turn near the end. So far, everything looks great!
