MUPPETS FROM SPACE (1999) ** At some point in the proceedings someone observes that the muppets from space are late showing up: truer words were rarely spoken. Their tardiness is closer to fatal than you'd want to know about. Now, when the muppets from space finally show up, things do start happenin' but by then you may be psychically immobilized. Bootsy voce: They try to impose upon you an imperial dose of anti-stasis in the format of a motobooty funk magnet soundtrack fork , and that may be enough. It was for me, though I've never felt so depraved that I couldn't think of something better to do-whilst gorging mine self on the aural propositions of James Brown-than watch fuzzy puppets, tawkin' mainly. I guess while they're talking they're also issuing some propaganda/reality to the youngsters as to what governments are up to and all about.this generation of kids is unlikely to be as depressed when confronted with the real thing as my generation was, growing up on all those heroic war movies where we do nothing but save people. So it's not world class entertainment and not world class propaganda, but if you're willing to be amused by muppets-and you know if you are-it's probably not much worse than we deserve.
