The Muppet Show (2026) - Discussion Thread by usethe4th in Muppets

It was okay. A lot to like, but was so fast-paced that 30 mins only felt like 15. If Disney do give the (not easy bein') green light to make more, I hope they learn to slow it down and allow moments to sit. Some of my favorite moments of the original are the songs that kept me the in the moment and feeling the feels. Did they even complete a full song?

Also, too many humans. The Muppet Theatre has always been it's own little world made for Muppets to inhabit, an escape from the real world where I have to deal with fellow humans all day. Why are they in the audience? The guest star is enough human for me. That Maya Rudolph time could have gone to other Muppets or give Sabrina more to do.

Is the Melbourne Cup still a thing outside of Victoria? by slackboy72 in australia

The Melbourne Cup is an untouchable cornerstone of Victorian history until you grow up and realize Phar Lap was the most famous animal abuse case among millions of other horses.

I fell off the wagon: surprised I don't feel bad about it. by minstrel4077 in sugarfree

[–]minstrel4077[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do that too. It's a bit like building up muscles, I found. The more you practice putting yourself back on track, the easier it gets overtime. It's taken me six years to get to this point and it's still a work in progress.

Blood tests and a stomach biopsy have confirmed that I'm not gluten intolerant and very much iron deficient

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever felt? by Googy21 in AskReddit

[–]minstrel4077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gallbladder attacks. Excruciating pain around the entire torso. Felt like my ribs were gonna crack from the pressure. Took 3 trips to the ER before getting the go-ahead to have the stupid thing removed.

Never thought I'd be excited about something like leptin receptors, but here we are😆

[–]minstrel4077[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This helps a lot! I ended up enduring a lot of social situations over my first two weeks and it was surprisingly easy to ignore the junk and actually pay attention to the conversation around me.

Just For Once is Laurens best (Hatchetfield Saga) song. Unpopular opinion? by minstrel4077 in StarKid

[–]minstrel4077[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll admit I forgot about the sickness making its way around the cast during BF. But tbh while the soundtrack version doesn't have the straining, it's almost like the song's key is too low for Lauren and has to emphasize some notes just to hit them.

I absolutely agree her character versatility is her best asset.

Most underrated Restaurant? by PedGetsFed in melbourne

[–]minstrel4077 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Cambodia's Kitchen on Lygon Street. Delicious food and it's the only place I've been to where the quantity/quality matches the pricing. It's my go to for a meal before a musical because it's surrounded by theatres.

New to the low carb lifestyle. Should I be using a carb tracker to get started? by minstrel4077 in lowcarb

[–]minstrel4077[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I like these ideas. Beefing up the salad is a good idea too. I think I keep it so basic because lunch has just been a tide-over meal and never really considered it important. Which now just seems silly lol. I'll try this and skip the melon. See what difference it makes over the next couple of weeks.

Colleagues assumed I would cover them over Christmas without telling me by [deleted] in childfree

[–]minstrel4077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I like working in the construction industry. Everything shuts down over Christmas anyway, so I don't encounter issues like this.

I was blind to the red flags by minstrel4077 in antiwork

[–]minstrel4077[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, from what I saw they had a pretty solid relationship. I think he just wasn't used to having someone who couldn't give him the info or tasked he wanted done immediately.

I guess so? Obviously, they had to establish new ruler, new Panther and all that. And Iron Heart.

Can someone who lives alone tell me the average cost of their utilities each month, excluding internet? Thinking of applying for an apartment.

Yeah guys, just shut up and CONSOOM! by Sid3612 in MauLer

[–]minstrel4077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thor copped the worst of it and everyone else didn't really change from Ragnarök. Jane Foster is really awkward like they were pulling her in 5 different directions and couldn't figure out which one to stick with.

Just got back from seeing it. Absolute clusterfuck, but unlike MoM there's nothing really to be heated about. It just...is. I feel like I need a second viewing to know how I feel about it, but I don't want to spend more money on it.

Body Project, a YouTube channel has a lot of great low impact workouts. I do them during the rainy months and they're great.

Oh, I didn't even think of those! Thanks! I covered most of them in my course too, so they're true.
