Hating Twilight? It’s practically a national pastime.
So you might expect movies that release this time of year — the same time as Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 1, which opens this Friday — to hate the franchise as well. Heck, some of them probably do.
But not The Muppet Movie.
Proving that puppets are smart and pretty, too, The Muppet Movie has chosen to use the frenzy that inevitably surrounds each Twilight installment to their advantage…by creating character posters that parody the sparkly franchise.
I vant to shake their marketing director’s little puppet hand.
Way to work it!
A mouthful
I am very compromise-oriented.
Just ask my family.
So I appreciate clever companies who create products with compromises built right in.
For example, I don’t do the big Turkey Day dinner; I haven’t for years. I prefer to spend the day at the Macy’s Parade and the movie theater, munching on popcorn and candy.
And this year’s menu will include Thanksgiving Gumballs!
In turkey, pumpkin pie and cranberry flavors, these candies are a mini-Thanksgiving dinner, which should placate friends and family horrified that I’m skipping the biggest holiday-sanctioned food fest of the year.
Plus, they will help me keep the holiday in mind while I’m viewing The Muppet Movie and The Descendants. ‘Cause nothing makes a person feel more thankful than…
Turkey balls.
