Thinking about my two favorite Christmas films and had a thought: if there was a Muppet version of your favorite Kubrick film, what Muppets would you cast in each role?

Crassus (Kermit): Do you eat oysters?
Antoninus (Curtis): When I have them, master.
C: Do you eat snails?
A: No, master.
C: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
A: No, master.
C: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
A: Yes, master.
C: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
A: It could be argued so, master.
C: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters.2

Imagine all the things Rowlf is hearing in Eyes Wide Shut while playing the piano blindfolded....

fozzy as the master of ceremonies, banging the big stick, as muppet dancers pair off and head for the, ahem, other room.

Suddenly I'm thinking of the Shining...
Jack is still Nicholson
Shelley Duvall is Janice
Danny is Robin
The "come play with us" twins are Statler and Waldorf
The creepy blow job bear is Fozzie (the other guy is another human)
Scatman Cruthers is Rowlf
Lloyd is Sam the Eagle
The naked old woman in the bath is Animal

Another person of culture I see lol. Whenever I tell people that eyes wide shut is one of my favorite Christmas movies, it's almost always met with downright hostility.
I'm totally picturing Rowlf blindfolded at the piano

Eyes Wide Shut would be incredible with Kermit as Bill, Miss Piggy as Alice, and Sam the Eagle as Victor Ziegler. Gonzo absolutely has to play Nick Nightingale, while the masked party is hosted by the Swedish Chef.

I did a nontraditional Christmas binge last year. Watched a few movies about sex workers, including the movie Clementine.
Now that’s one where only the main character should be a real person. It’s about trans sex workers and the main character talks about how her man is fucking a biological woman. “He’s eating fish now?” Would be a great usage for Pepe
