Just took Joni to the Museum of the Moving Image to see The Muppet Movie (1979). Wow. James Coburn as the “el Sleezo” cafe owner, Steve Martin as surly waiter, Richard Pryor selling balloons to Gonzo: “Why not take both?” Rainbows, hippies, Fozzy, “drag city,” self-referential pomo narrative, Piggy/Frog love. Jim Henson = connoisseur of abandonment extraordinaire.
