MEET THE FEEBLES

"The muppets on acid," is how THIS film has been described. And rightfully so, I might add. This film was directed by Peter Jackson (yes, the very same guy who brought you The Lord of the Rings trilogy) who made this film years before even thinking about being able to direct something as, shall we say, haughty as Lord of the Rings. Another VERY appropriate title for this film would have been Muppets Behaving Badly. I mean, picture, if you will, if Kermit the Frog made a porno with Miss Piggy and Gonzo went totally and completely bonkers and started blowing all the other Muppets away in a wild shooting spree and Fozzie the Bear did Andrew "Dice" Clay-esque jokes and Animal acted like, well, an animal and you'll get SOME idea as to how truly fucked up this movie really is! For instance, one of the "muppets" in the movie actually performs a musical called--and, no, I'm NOT making this up!--Sodomy. (Let the two old guys in the balcony harp about THAT!) This is most definitely NOT the type of movie one would expect from the guy who directed the highly-acclaimed Lord of the Rings films (for those, of course, NOT familiar with Peter Jackson's previous works). So, if you'd like to see how The Muppet Show (or Sesame Street!) would have turned out if it had been directed by a porno and/or snuff film director, then THIS could very well be the flick for YOU! A sidenote: Speaking of pornos, I think a good "porno parody" title for Lord of the Rings would be Lord of the Cock Rings. It's got a nice ring to it, don't ya think?
