See this film: Muppets From Space @ the Brattle

It's been a dozen years since the last Muppet movie. But a new one will be opening in a couple of days, and you can prepare yourself by taking a look at the last one, Tim Hill's Muppets From Space (1999). Here's where Gonzo gets in touch with his long lost alien family by means of his breakfast cereal. Bad idea; the Feds kidnap him by à la E.T., and Kermit and company are off to his rescue. It's all backed by a soulful soundtrack featuring Funkadelic and James Brown, and includes cameos by Hulk Hogan, Ray Liotta, and Pat Hingle, among others. It screens at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Tuesday, November 22 @ 9:30 pm | $9.75; $7.75 students; $6.75 seniors | 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.
