In what is becoming one of the most meta marketing campaigns in recent movie memory, Disney has released a new trailer for their upcoming film, "The Muppets." And it's even more self-aware than ever.

The third in its movie parody series, "Being Green" spoofs the upcoming superhero epic, "The Green Lantern," the Ryan Reynolds-flick set for release this weekend. Kermit, of course, takes on the green hero role, and a Reynolds-esque voiceover plays throughout.

But in what is a new twist, Jason Segal, who wrote and is co-starring in the film, actually revolts against the concept against fake trailers. Within the fake trailer. Mind blowing.

Check out the first two, a romantic comedy spoof and a joke on "The Hangover: Part II."

Scott Mendelson: Huff Post Review: Green Lantern Not As Good As Hoped, Not As Bad As Feared

Green Lantern is a deeply problematic comic book adventure, with structural and character development issues that should have felled the film. But like its title character, it overcomes its own weaknesses and embraces its flaws.

I haven't seen every muppet movie...but
ireally liked the first one....and love the Christmas Carol. I may watch old Christmas Carol movies, and It's A Wonderful Life every year....but we watch the Muppet Christmas Carol a couple of times (or more) each year. Have the Soundtrack songs mixed in with my other holiday songs. One great song my wife likes most is missing from one version of the movie, and also hArd to find as a standalone song ....When Love is Gone
