It's time to play the music . . .

gryphonseggI finally saw the new Muppet movie today. ^_^ I'll be up for discussing the actual content of the movie later, but for now I'm just basking in this warm, Muppety glow and reflecting on how it wouldn't be a bad thing to have more corny jokes and ridiculous musical numbers in my life.
I was going to go last weekend, but I was too sick, and then I was busy yesterday after work. Today it snowed all day, but I went anyway because I had waited so long and I needed Muppets! Maybe this will be useful for complaining at future students: "When I was your age-- actually, when I was considerably older than you are now-- I had to walk through the snow to see some dancing chickens and a pig in a wig." Or maybe not. Anyway, there weren't any other people there except one really nice woman with a largish group of kids. She'd been planning their trip to the movie for weeks, so when the snow didn't let up this afternoon, she (and the kids, who were possibly more excited because of the snow) decided to roll with it much like I did.
Who else loved the discarded toys in support group in the Toy Story short? Frankly, I unironically want my own Tae Kwon Doe in real life. I would not discard her. I also want all those warrior mermaids and DJ Bluejay. And I'm pretty sure that some of the more WTF toys like Ghost Burger and the transformers that turn into meat instead of cars are the kind of toys kids play with in The Tick's universe.

Instead of going with the normal human response ("Oh, that's silly. Moving on . . ."), I started trying to cast ATLA characters as discarded toys (vice versa). I decided that Katara would be Neptuna and Sokka would be the meat transformer, and what's worse, it soon started to seem obvious to me.
