sipsons 4 eva

depends on who's writing it. if it's basically the same writing team as the last 5 years then there's little hope that it'll be memorable.

they always said the movie would be more of a concern perhaps once they'd wound up the series for good...so who knows? no one really goes crazy about new simpsons like they used to.

i caught the ricky gervais written episode on youtube and thought it was really really crap.

Get fucked. "It's a robot with guns for arms shooting at a plane made of guns that fires guns1" was my favourite Simpsons line ever.

hmm i see that as a valid point i'm inclined to agree with.

however i shall be waiting for this.

they need to get conan back

Um.. whatshisface who wrote the majority of the episodes in the 90s worked on the script for the film. Which is a good thing.

and giving them more then half a hour to work on a story may give them more chance to be good, a break from the formula.

Look, they won't, and can't, fuck this up.

And they've always said (since the original idea for a movie as a bridge between two seasons was scrapped) that they want it to be one of the last things that the Simpsons does, I have a feeling that they know that the show's in it's death throes.

john swartzwelder's involved and the dude's hilarious.

They aparently have a lot of the orignal writers onboard for it.
I've got good vibes about it.
Yeah, real good ones,
They have a few story board type things for it on YouTube.
I liked the Moe GAG last night, 2-D!

trailer

teaser trailer, rather

what are you talking about ? the more recent episodes are better than the old ones.

When it does come out, I'm gonna guess it will be one of the highest grossing films ever.

anyone who thinks that the last few seasons haven't been a gradual decline doesn't like good jokes.

Hopefully it won't get played out like Borat or Talladega Nights or Snakes On A Plane or virtually every other comedy before anyone gets to see it. Which it will. By the time anyone goes to see the movie they would've already seen half the thing out of context.

Something like Borat though is interesting to see what bits people laugh at. Simpsons nerds that know the whole script before they go and see the movie is completely different.

But thats a GAG in it's self!
Itchy & Scratchy Movie: Now with 32% New footage!

saw it last night.

tha crazy cat lady washes her cat's on a scrubbing board in the lake. i laughed so hard i cried.

Just saw this now. It's good entertainment, and thats exactly all it needs to be.

it is rubbish. disappointing. two thumbs down.

i found it awkward to watch in the cinema. i was restless, it was too big, not enough loungeroom and dinner, or something.

I really enjoyed it at the cinema, but on analysing it post-fun on illegal download, it really doesn't have all the spark it could have had.

the littler things that were meant to be all potmodern and funny, like the fox advertising scroll along the bottom, and the to be continued at half time, only served to irritate me.

also, is dr nick the second person in the simpsons to ever die? is it just he and maude?

and the series has lost it's heart.

Marvin Monroe, Frank Grimes, Bleeding Gums Murphy, Grandpa's girlfriend, a bunch of people have died.

The series lost it in season 10-14 or so, but it's slowly getting up. Lisa's episodes used to be annoying but are now the heart of the show, I reckon.

still haven't watched this... it's sitting in my room.

how did marvin die? and frank grimes? the others i remember.

finally watched this on sunday night and guess what!?

my DVD version from ''Even Better than Movieworld'' in Shanghai has an hilarious opening page...

It's a Ratatouille background with audio of Cartman singing ''Kyle's mum's a bitch'' and an overlay of the Simpson's titles (in Engrish). But it doesn't end there - the entire film has ''english'' subtitles that you can't turn off... they are quiet opbviously a bad english translation of a bad chinese translation of the film. The subtitles had us pissing ourselves and pausing/rewinding to catch 4-5 lines of absolute gobbledigook.

Some that I can remember:
[english audio/subtitles]
* ha ha/heartily heartily
* whatever barney says when he's crowd-surfing at the beginning (something to do with a weiner)/my favourite is a bean
* Springfield/often in the spring
* Bono/some long explanation of what the translator must have thought Bono was
* and sooooo many more!

Lemme know if anyone wants to borrow...

oh - and on the outside of the DVD, the credits were for Perfume and separate credits claimed that minni driver was in the film

I don't know how Marvin died, tgwcd, but Frank Grimes grabbed power cables in Homer's office and electrocuted himself. He was only in one episode.

marvin is alive

Monroe was thought to have died in ''The Springfield Connection.'' Other references to his death included the Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital in ''Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)'';a mention of his death in the 138th episode retrospective; and glimpses of both his grave and a school gym named after him. However, he appeared briefly in the season 15 episode ''Diatribe of a Mad Housewife'' - claiming to have been very sick. (The creators put the doctor on that ten-year-long hiatus because voicing Monroe hurt Shearer's throat.)

Cool!

The new series of The Simpsons starts where the movie left off!

Not sure if anyone's seen this yet, but it rules.

Finally saw this
Not much more to say
Too much exposition; too few good jokes
Disappointing

yeah it sucked

i finally saw this yesterday too.

i fell asleep about half way into it. still don't know the ending.
