UN Spacy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 I'm still hoping Conan O'Brien had a part in writing this movie. Quote
UN Spacy Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 NEW Simpsons Movie trailer is out! http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/thesimpsonsmovie.html Quote
Fort Max Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Suddenly it's looking a lot more appealing. Quote
gerwalk25 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Slightly OT: I've been playing alot of the game Bully and thinking about what if some developer made a Simpsons version (ala Hit & Run) where your playing Bart. Anyhoo back to topic: There's a new trailer for the movie before Reno 911:Miami which was a pretty funny movie IMHO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL50ddCSJmo Quote
Skullsixx Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Thanks gerwalk25! I've seen that trailer in the theater. Classic!!! Especially Bart with the french-fry! Quote

Skullsixx Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 No prob. BTW love the Diamond Dave avi! A lil' OT here... Thanks, I had such high hopes but I guess we can forget that now. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 23, 2007 Author Posted June 23, 2007 NEWEST trailer looking SUPERB. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIvdBJRfkhI Quote
bsu legato Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Screw the haters. I'm there on opening night. They had me at "Spider Pig." Technically the end of the trailer, I know....but it was funny. Quote
Smiley424 Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Nice, I've been there opening night since I first heard about this. Only gripe, should've been President Rainier Wolfcastle, not Schwarzenegger Quote
Dobber Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 ROTFLOL!!! This is really looking good!! Chris Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I have to say that part of me wants to see this movie... but to be honest I didn't laugh once at that trailer. I have not actually out loud laughed at the Simpsons in years. Family Guy on the other hand makes me about pee myself laughing weekly... I think Family Guy completely eclipsed the Simpsons for "which is funnier" in my mind a while back and now my brain simply will not laugh at the Simpsons anymore. I have no doubt the Simpsons movie will be funny... but I'm not sure it's entirely "my cup of tea" anymore. As I said months and months ago earlier in this thread, had this movie come out in say 1998 I would have been all over it waiting in line with the rest of you... but it's 2007 now and my interest in it has wained.

I've seen Family Guy directly rip off The Simpsons more than once. Though I'm not a South Park fan, I agree wholeheartedly with their description of Family Guy. I think that the show REALLY lost it after their "comeback" when they added the "obligatory pop culture reference starring the Family Guy cast" to EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. Yawn. The Simpsons has gone on too long, but they've pretty much done everything else... Edited June 24, 2007 by Max Jenius Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Funny you should mention South Park... I used to about die laughing at it and the movie nearly killed me, but every time I watch it lately I struggle to even giggle at it. It too has completely lost it's appeal to me and IMHO it is another show that has outlived it's "funniness". But it's all personal opinion... we'll see how well the Simpsons movie does come it's release. My guess is it will do "good" but not "great", like most comedies these days. Quote
Macross73 Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 as you all know they've opened up Kwiki marts across the country My brother got me a kwiki mart slurpee styrofoam cup and buzz cola this is really cool in an odd sort of way. I was told that theres supposed to be on in Bladensburg MD this link is of somebody elses kwiki mart http://www.nohomers.net/showthread.php?t=62348 Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 Alright folks. It's opening today! Who's going to see it this weekend? Quote
eriku Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Just got back from seeing it. It was pretty much what I expected, an extra long episode with Futurama-style animation. It was consistently funny but it does have the vibe of modern Simpsons more so than the early to mid seasons, which will always be impossible to beat. I was really disappointed at the lack of Skinner. He was seen maybe once, but I don't think he spoke even one word. And spoiler of spoilers I can't believe they showed Bart's twig and berries. The scene was funny as all hell, but still... My favorite scene was the Disneyesqe forest animals helping undress Marge and Homer for their imminent copulation, and then the look of horror on the animals faces once Homer and Marge get it on. Overall it was quite funny and I would definitely watch it again and possibly buy the DVD. Quote
Smiley424 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Saw it, loved it. Nice flow, funny one-liners and visual jokes. Took full advantage of the PG-13, doing things they could never show on TV. Recommend to all Simpson fans, I'll probably end up seeing it again. Quote
promethuem5 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Saw it last night.... I really liked it. It was definitely better than the show has been in years... One not very spoilerish thing... did anyone else who saw it think that the scene with Homer's epiphany was remarkably similar to the TV ending of Evangelion when Shinji has the epiphany and he is applauded? It was eerily similar... Quote
mpchi Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Saw it last night.... I really liked it. It was definitely better than the show has been in years... One not very spoilerish thing... did anyone else who saw it think that the scene with Homer's epiphany was remarkably similar to the TV ending of Evangelion when Shinji has the epiphany and he is applauded? It was eerily similar... Yes indeed. Not sure if its done on purpose, but its very similar to Eva in that aspect. I am not a Simpsons fan per se, but got to watch it for a free screening. I can see that many Simpsons fans won't be disappointed by it. Lots of jokes, and a fun joy ride. Even got a good load of CG graphics blended in there too, without feeling too different from the TV show. Just feel more high budget. Quote
eriku Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 THAT's why Homer's epiphany scene felt so familiar when I saw it. I doubt there is any connection with Evangelion but it's still a neat parallel. Quote
Skullsixx Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Wow... the quality of the animation in the film was great! I saw the movie earlier today.. LOVED it!!! Especially the stuff they could get away with in the theater like Bart's weiner, Marge saying "g-damnit", and Otto hitting up that bong! I actually haven't seen any regular series episodes in years, so I was surprised to hear that many of ya thought it had gone down hill. But then again, that happens to most long running shows. I just got a couple of the earlier seasons on DVD and have been watching some of my fav episodes to reminesce such as "Last Exit to Springfield, Mr. Plow, and 22 Films About Springfield." Classic stuff! Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 29, 2007 Author Posted July 29, 2007 YIKES. The Simpsons opens at #1 this weekend with a $71.9 MILLION weekend! http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/2007072...8574094000.html Quote
Keith Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Saw it last night.... I really liked it. It was definitely better than the show has been in years... One not very spoilerish thing... did anyone else who saw it think that the scene with Homer's epiphany was remarkably similar to the TV ending of Evangelion when Shinji has the epiphany and he is applauded? It was eerily similar... Just saw it this afternoon (and loved it), and that's what immediately popped into my head during that scene. It just seems so blatant, I don't see how it can be anything but a nod to the last episode. Quote
Ishimaru Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Just to go all out in how much I loved the movie, the scene at the gasoline station in which Bart quickly redrew the wanted poster of the Simpsion and then the cashier actually saw the people from Bart's ugly revision of the poster which was the least expected thing to happen; then when they were arrested and Bart's evil laugh as they drove off just made everyone in the theater go wild, probably one of the best scenes in the whole movie for me Edit: Grammar fixes.
