The Simpsons movie is out..

[Unchainme]

Been a fan of the show since I was little..Back when it was funny and very controversial..Now its become very, very, Political and boring..They need to get rid of Lisa on the show, She's ruining it...Anyways..I'm hoping that this means that the Simpsons will end soon..I'll go and see the movie..But The series has jumped the shark quite often..And it's really starting to piss me off..They really should end it with the movie..

Anyways..Thoughts? and did anyone see it yet?

I'll go see a different movie but go into Simpsons for the previews because the Preview for The Dark Knight will be showing.

Well, from what I have read, they've gotten a lot of the original writers back to do it.

The show still comes out with a good episode from time to time. I really enjoyed the "24" one.

I don't think it's jumped the shark it's just a bit more patchy these days. At least a 3rd of the episodes are still great.

If they had cancelled the show we would never have got this recent scene which made me LOL a lot.

I hear the movie is excellent although more of a long Simpsons episode rather than a movie as such.

the Simpsons movie is out?...thanks for the warning

[Redballjets88]

well i saw it...it was alright. A lot more kids were there than I expected. The story line was cool in all and it wasn't corny. Then again there was nothing awesome about it. I got a few laughs out of it.

B- is my grade for it.

I loved that one...

Thats right, I said a rapping tomato
He rapped all day
From April to May
And, guess what, it was me"




I think the problem they have is that expectations are just too high for the movie.

Funny thing is I really didn't think much of the show for the first two or three seasons of it, especially when all that Bartmania hype of the early 1990s was in full swing. Thought seasons 4 through 7 were brilliant, but around 1999 the show had a careening quality for me...some of the episodes of the last few seasons didn't really even get a chuckle out of me...

...Dunno if I'm gonna bother seeing it in the theaters or not. Never really had huge expectations for the quality of the material for the movie because I'm assuming most of the people who worked on the script are the same people who've been working on the series for the last several years.

Read that it did about 70 million for the opening weekend, but I'm kinda over the Simpsons in terms of what's going on with it these days. At some point I'll scoop up Seasons 4 through 7 or 8 on dvd.

The first 2 seasons were a bit shaky. I mean, Matt Groening admits now, they really didn't know what they were doing.

But, they've got a lot of the writers that left back to do the movie...so it should be better than the overall quality recently.

I always find it watchable, even when it doesn't make me laugh.

Maybe the writers that came back will stay...

I saw the movie last night - I thought it wasn't too bad, although I wasn't expecting anything remotely spectacular from it. The animation was excellent. They really should've done this movie 10 years ago when the show was at it's peak in terms of it's humour.

I consider myself a hardcore Simpsons fan, although I haven't bothered to watch the new episodes since 2001. The classic period was during seasons 5-8. It seems the show went downhill ever since of the death of Phil Hartman, who played the great characters like Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz. After seeing the movie - after a long wait - they really should put the show to rest now.
