Okay, I have good news and bad news.

Good news is, I saw The Muppets today. Great movie. Really hilarious, and the music's wonderful too. Three of 'em just put plain smiles on my face, and the villain song was a big lipped alligator moment (you have to see it to believe it). The movie seemed to reference older Muppet productions, such as the first show and movie, and left more recent ones on the back burner (Expecting Pepe to get a big role? Settle for Uncle Deadly). I also liked the celebrity cameos - Jack Black was funny, as usual, and Selena Gomez & Neil Patrick Harris singing "Mahna Mahna" is just pure, unbridled win. Product placement is also heavy in the movie, with logos such as those of Google, network channels like FOX and NBC present, as well as an ad or two of "Cars 2" in the background. But overall, it's one of the better films I've seen this year - I'd say I liked it as much as At2D, perhaps even more so. Very deserving of the scores it's gotten.

Now for the bad news.

I made the stupid mistake of bringing my 3DS with me to the theater. While I was watching the movie, I guess it must have slipped out of my pocket and down the aisle, where somebody picked it up and decided to steal it. After the movie was over, I checked my pockets and found that my 3DS was gone. I searched every inch of the room, the Lost and Found, my car, my house, everywhere - It was nowhere to be found. And what really sucks is that I had my Ocarina of Time 3D cartridge, as well as my 10 free Ambassador NES games, among some things. 210 bucks, down the drain, and now I won't be able to get Super Mario 3D Land or Mario Kart 7 this holiday season. Well, I hope whoever has it know is having a fan-freakin-tastic time with it - well, that is, for the next few hours, since the 3DS has a relatively short battery life, and I'm assuming the thief doesn't have a 3DS/DSi charger.

Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be paying a trip to Larry's Desk Emporium, where I will headdesk with the products on display. -_-
