This is a valid plot hole. Krusty had his bar mitzvah in a 2003 episode, and shouldn't eat pork.
Yes, they are listed in the 'Crazy Credits' section of the main IMDb page.
Yes, while Bart is skateboarding you often see his bum and his penis.
James L. Brooks suggested that they use a real-life political figure instead of a fictional character (such as the series' Schwarzenegger parody Rainier Wolfcastle), and deliberately chose to use Schwarzenegger in the role in order to not date the movie when the then-current President ended his term in two years.
The song is "(They Long to Be) Close to You" by the Carpenters. It was previously played in the twelfth episode of the second season, The Way We Was (1991), when Homer sees Marge for the first time. They consider it to be their song.
As the credits roll, Lisa excitedly says "It looks like Maggie has something to say!" Marge exclaims, "Oh my God! Her first word!" What is Maggie's first word? "Sequel". (However, Maggie's first word was "daddy", in the season 4, episode 10 episode, "Lisa's First Word", although no one in the family heard her say it.)
There have been other hints. In "He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs (2007)", the first episode of season 19, Bart (in the title sequence) writes on the blackboard, "I will not wait 20 years to make another movie".
While many feel this is hinting at the likelihood of a sequel in the future, the producer Al Jean told the New York Post: "We would only do a sequel if we believed it was a movie that had to be made, just like we did with the first one.

A few critical quotes
"Hysterically funny, genuinely cinematic -- and you get to see Bart's doodle, too" Channel 4 reviews, 2007
"The movie is funny, sassy and intelligent in that moronic Simpsons' way." Roger Ebert, 2007
"I laughed aloud a number of times, and smiled and chuckled even more frequently." James Berardinelli, 2007
"It might have taken 18 years for the Simpsons to make it to the big screen, but the wait was well worth it" Tiscali Uk, 2007
"if a casual fan like me can find it so consistently funny, I imagine the hardcores are going to believe it was well worth the wait." Erik Childress, 2007
"Once again, The Simpsons top all expectations" efilmcritic, 2007
"This is not the worst film of the summer, just the biggest waste. Then, perhaps that is the problem. The Simpsons never needed to be a movie." Ian Nathan, 2007
"clever, irreverent, satirical and outfitted with a larger-than-22-minutes plot, capable (just barely) of sustaining a narrative roughly four times the length of a standard episode." Variety, 2007
"On Sept. 23, 2007, when the first Simpsons episode of Season 19 aired, Bart wrote on the chalkboard, "I will not take 20 years to make another movie." Here's hoping so, especially if future Simpsons movies are as much fun as this one." DVD Verdict, 2007
"it's not perfect, but you'll be laughing too hard to notice. " Eric. D. Snider
"I was left more than a little disappointed." David Mercier, 2007
"It is something of a miracle that The Simpsons Movie succeeds so admirably" DVDTalk, 2007
