The Thinklings

"Why do people choose the substitute over God himself? Probably the most important reason is that it obviates accountability to God. We can meet idols on our own terms because they are our own creations. They are safe, predictable, and controllable; they are, in Jeremiah's colorful language, the 'scarecrows in a cornfield' (10:5). They are portable and completely under the user's control. They offer nothing like the threat of a God who thunders from Sinai and whose providence in this world so often appears to us to be incomprehensible and dangerous . . . [People] need face only themselves. That is the appeal of idolatry."

I was pretty excited when I first heard that Jason Segel was bringing back the muppets. This seems to be vintage Muppet movie stuff. For all of her Oscar-worthy performances, Amy Adams will be incredible in this film (see, especially, Enchanted).

Nothing, outside of HP7.2, really excites me about films this summer (Although, I'm intrigued by the Smurfs and my wife raved about The Help when she read it, which is coming out on film in August) - I'm looking forward, instead, to Thanksgiving already.

Thanks for posting this!

I loved the book "Sarah's Key" and it is coming out this summer also. It takes place during WWII. I'm hoping the movie is as good as the book.

That Trailer is genius.

I love how the announcer says, "AND Kermit ...the frog?" like he's surprised too.

So the first 30 seconds of the trailer...not really what the movie's about, I guess. :-)

i have a hard time watching (listening to) the post jim henson muppets...

Ditto Stroke. None of the Jim Henson-voiced muppets sound right post-Henson. Especially Kermit.

After seeing some trailers this past weekend, I should say that the studios did pique my interest with Super 8, the new X-Men movie and the Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts flick.
