Some movies are, they are everything at once.
It's like, if you can make a movie that makes me laugh and makes me cry and is exciting and is surprising and is silly, but then also earnest, like the ability to not just combine genres, but combine tones and shit between these things and be satisfying on that level.
It's like,
You know, something that can be really funny and also make you cry is such a magic trick.
And that's the thing about the Muppet movie as well is like it's primarily sort of a joke machine.
But the things that I love the most about it are actually really secondary to the laughs.
Like, yeah, it is very, very funny.
But I also think that it's like a really...
beautiful story about a bunch of misfits going together to try to create art.
I think it just has all these different levels.
And then it also just has a dog playing the piano, which is funny.
And that's, you know, it's like, it's all these things like, you know, to be able to function in that way, you know, sometimes people, movies, they try to do that, like in a way that feels sort of crass or, you know, like,
they're like, well, we want you to care, but we also want to be funny.
I also want to do this, but that it doesn't feel calculated.
You know, it just feels like this is the voice of Jim Henson.
And this is the type of story he wanted to tell.
Yeah, but the value of what you're talking about is you won't see a huge laugh coming if a movie doesn't live or die on laughs.
And you also won't expect to have your heart broken if a movie doesn't feel like it's going to go in that direction.
I think that's the real kind of...
that to me is just the real magic of a great movie is that it doesn't matter how many movies I've seen, you'll be watching something and you don't know that the movie is going to make you cry.
