OMG, happy happy happy. I laughed, I cried, I kissed $21 goodbye, and do not regret it a bit! We saw a 10 pm show, so after it went to Black Friday at Best Buy where I bought the (now listened-to at least 10 times) soundtrack, and I've signed up on Amazon to be made aware when I can pre-order the Blu-Ray. Oh, and I absolutely FLIPPED when I saw who human Walter was played by. I KNOW A MUPPET! HALLELUJAH!

A fun little tidbit did you know the marching band in the beginning are actually members of the disneyland band? yep! I knew they looked familiar!

Originally Posted By Labuda Hmm, well... the wife of my friend Rob is sick, so I decided I'll skip going to Christmas at their house (I'm finally almost over the cold she kindly shared with me two weeks ago!)... and my brother will be on patrol (he's a cop), and Matt's up at his parents' already (I was invited but opted out of TEN days with them), so I'll be alone on Christmas Day. This means, once I'm done opening a few presents and then cleaning up, I might just go see this again if none of the games on tv catch my fancy.

Originally Posted By Labuda He qualifies as one now. After all, you knew his name without having to have it told to you, right?
Originally Posted By wahooskipper I know a lot of politicians names...but that doesn't qualify them as celebrities in my book. Then again, I don't think making an idiot of yourself should qualify you as a celebrity either...much to the chagrin of reality tv viewers everywhere.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Carville wears many hats; he is, indeed, a celebrity. In fact, he is vastly more talented/intelligent than MOST celebrities. Thinking that celebs who are really great actors and are more deserving of special status is still kind of weird. Just like the worship of people who can hit a ball with a stick. Neither is all that great, imo. Carville just isn't as pretty as most celebs.
