Scott was not pulling your leg-- Muppets Most Wanted probably their best movie ever

Anybody else definitely not watch The Interview yet?

I dug it. I could have actually used more vamping; it seems like Franco-Rogen may stick to the script a little more tightly when they don't have a dozen of their best friends to bounce stuff off.  Steph pointed out at least two great parts from the trailer were excised from the final cut.  The editorial discipline might help them connect with a wider audience, but I'm hoping there's a significantly extended version that will be available at some point soon.  Love these incorrigible bastards.
