Who's going to see this at the end of the month?

I personally can't wait because it looks like the it kind of goes back to it's roots in terms of humor and plot.

i'm definitely gonna go see. can't wait. even the new simpsons game looks incredibly promisings(though not based on the movie)

Their was a bit of controversy ver the movie because of partial nudity even though it happens so fast that no one can see it it was bart riding his skateboard naked but hit a curb and gets sent flying

And isn't Flanders holding up a chip or something?

I'll have to go see it, I'm glad to hear that they've returned to the roots for this.

it's more like, what regular episode that airs in primetime doesn't have some sort of partial nudity?

to marbig it's when he's flying through the air and to vix seems it's only pg13 but they want to make it 14A cause of it for a milli-second of nudity

spoilers below as to why it is pg13:



SPOILERS:

barts penis (very obvious for like 3 seconds).
homers middle fingers
marge says "goddamn!"
otto is smoking a bong.
there may be more but thats off the top of my head.

best movie ever. man, hilarious.

Im jealous still havent seen it yet, Im sure its one of the best movies this year.

Definitely, I'm glad you liked it Vix.
DVD will be mine, naturally.

oh yeah, same here. i'm all over the dvd. i'm probably gonna see it again.

Yeah, me too! I'll be buying the DVD, and seeing it twice, three times, four times and more! :lol I really enjoyed that movie! It'll be probably one of the best movies of this year!

between the sight gags and funny dialogue, it was pure old school simpsons, i think.

To be continued...

Immediately.
SpiderPig, SpiderPig. Does whatever a SpiderPig does. Can he swing, from a web? No he can't; he's a Pig...

Got free tickets from radio and saw it a day early. Very good I thought, especially when Bart was "choking" when he dropped Flanders fishing pole. :D

i already knew that part was coming so i wasn't surprised but some people in the theater got real pissed for a few moments there. :heh

I'm not a Simpsons fan, but I loved this movie, I went with my sister and her friends to see it. MY sister thought it was cool that the actual band members of Green Day voiced their own characters (in the short time they were there).
*Spoilers*



Was I the only one that was shocked when Marge yells out "God Dammit!" at Homer? I didn't see it coming.

i thought someone would mention it.
did everyone sit through the whole credits? there were several things that happened up to the last second.

i was surprised at marges comment but it was more of a funny bit to me than anything.

spoilers: *Maggies "first" word*

Yeah, I sat through the credits. The longest credits I've ever seen.

i liked when they showed who does what voices.

I liked it and thought it was the best movie ever, aside from Transformers.

Was I the only one shocked that 1 person can voice over 4 charactors? :heh

i knew some of the actors did quite a few voices. I think I was more surprised at the ones that only did one or two voices. :lol

I was surprized to find out that the voice of Bart was a Woman.

hahah, i've known that since i was a kid. i thought everyone knew that by now. :lol :lol

I guss I'm the one who diddn't! :lol

then again, i'm older than the simpsons and i've been watching from the beginning so...

:)

Same here, vix, though only by 6.25 years.

I, of course, have watched this movie in theaters and on DVD (I got it for Christmas). And I have to say, it really made me cry....

...because I had watched the greatest memories of my childhood fall around me like so many shattered dome pieces.

I guess I should clarify by saying, before I had gone to see the movie, I had been watching some old season DVDs from the second through the sixth seasons. Or as I like to think of them, "My Happy Place". So, watching the movie, I was crying at how bad it was, and I was already expecting bad (but I was just hoping the advertisers were horrible, horrible people).

Well, I just got through watching both commentary tracks on the DVD (I'm a sad person), and I must say, the commentary is slightly redeeming. I do see that they tried their hardest, but the Simpsons can never be the same to me as it was when I was a child. There's just not much more they can squeeze out of such a limited premise and still maintain the feel. In fact, that probably dried up completely about season 9.

It's still the same writers, animators and, obviously, actors that they had in the good years, but they just don't have a handle on what made the Simpsons such a good show in the first place anymore. And I don't have the will to follow them where they think they can go.

Which is why I still hold that Futurama is the only show better than the Simpsons. With all the foresight gained from that series, a team of much the same writers and animators were able to place their brand of humor in a less limited context.

And, real quick, can anyone explain to me how anybody can like Spiderpig? It's such a throw-away joke when there's so much better material there. I know it was seriously overhyped, but it's still not the thing that would strike me as memorable if I had had no previous knowledge of it. It's not really funny or clever in any way, and the attempt at a joke feels so tortured on the screen.

i still like the show as much as ever. watched since it was on the tracy ullman show. i understand that many have lost interest, but i appreciate every show they do.
i like family guy and futurama more.
spider pig is freakin worshipped by my students and exstudents! lots of the teens LOVE that thing and talk about it still! sing the song. blog about it, etc... silly teens.
spider pig was no different than any other current cultural reference really though.

i thought the spider-pig song was kinda funny. i thought it made a good preview, but definitely wasn't what i remember most about the movie.

when i was in the theater, the boy beside me kept saying, where's spider-pig? when's spider-pig coming back? i bet spider-pig'll save em!

it was very annoying, i wanted to tell him to shut up. i did throw popcorn at the other annoying kids, though. :P

I enjoy the fact that Spiderpig never appeared after the mob tried to kill the Simpsons. He was in the rebuilding scene at the end, but was cut out. So I can imagine that, over the course of their entrapment, the Springfieldians cooked and ate him. Aaaah, gruesome retribution.

I actually really liked the movie. I wasn't expecting much more than an attempt at a 2 hour long string of episodes that would only fall short of the golden age of Simpsons. But they surprised me. Well it *was* a 2 hour long string of episodes but they were episodes that made me laugh and cry and not just sit there getting what I expected of my Simpsons.

What I loved most about the movie was the deeper connection with the characters. How could your heart not be wrenched out by the wedding tape?! THE WEDDING TAPE! D: So yea sure, Spider Pig is a "throw away joke"... an amusing one... but I think overall the movie was pretty decent. :yes
