As a could-have-been actor, I've always been intrigued by the thing about how Michael Caine treated his Muppet co-stars as fellow actors, while Tim Curry treated himself as a fellow Muppet. I'd been meaning to watch _The Muppet Christmas Carol_ first, then _Muppet Treasure Island_, to compare and contrast, and planned to go from what I expect will be more sedate to what I expect will be more unhinged.

But nope, the universe had other plans. Tonight, it's time for commemorative Curry lunacy. 🏴‍☠️
