The Simpsons: The Movie

[Brian]

I haven't tried it out yet, but you are supposed to be able to upload your own picture(s) and "Simpsonize" them into the world of Springfield.  Just thought I'd post it if anyone was interested, really looking forward to the movie, hopefully we can make it out to see it sometime soon.

IGN has several clips up from the Simpsons movie, if anyone is interested.  It looks pretty good.

So... who's seen this so far?  Thoughts?

Fantastic!!  I thought the story got a little heavy at times, but they kept the laughs coming. My wife and I both left the theater smiling 

[iFett]

I thought the movie sucked ass.  I even walked out before it ended..just couldn't stand it.  I think the BK commercials were better than the movie to be honest.

Number 1 at the box office & $71,850,000.

Saw it last night, laughed quite a bit in the beginning and near the end...the middle wasn't so great.  It was good enough for the movie and didn't go too over the top with non TV type stuff (outside of showing Bart's SPOILER)

I also didn't care for Bart drinking SPOILER, that seemed forced.  I did like Otto smoking SPOILER

Saturday night, I had my first "date" with my wife since the little one was born, and tried to get her to go see this.  Ended up having to see Pirates 3 instead... which was about what I expected.  Overdone effects, weak storyline and way too fake or action and really cheesy set of events in the final battle.  Still entertaining to a degree, but not nearly as good as the first one.

Hopefully I'll be able to convince her sometime in the next month that we must see this cartoon movie in theatres!

Saw it, loved it, want to see it again. I thought this was like 98-99 Simpsons level of funny, not quite as good as the early seasons but still great. I will agree that the middle dragged, but I think the same of ROTS and that's a fine film.

My favorite part of the movie was definately the (SPOILER) cameo. That was so damn hilarious! "Ruffle my hair, Mr. (SPOILER)!" Spider Pig and Grand Theft Walrus made me LOL as well.

Can't wait for the DVD.

Saw it the other night. Grand Theft Walrus and Bart's 'parts showing' were the only parts that really made me laugh. Boob lady and Tom Hanks were funny too. The rest was meh.

Saw it this afternoon with my wife.  She laughed quite a bit during the first half of the movie.  I thought it was funny overall.  I loved bare bart on board sequence and the Titanic reference.

Great stuff. I was tired when I saw the movie, so I don't think I got to take the story in properly, but I was pretty impressed with a lot of the jokes.

[Oboewan]

While I enjoyed the movie, I still have no idea why I had to pay 9.50 to see it.  There were MAYBE one or two things that would have needed to be cleaned up for network TV but that's it.   Oh well.. it was funny!

The production values were much higher.  So it was significantly more expensive to produce than a standard TV episode.  But they spent the money hoping it'd draw people in the theaters.

The point was to tell a good story, not to put something up on the screen too risque for television.
