Is in the works, me likee, me likee very much. Also a blurb on the Season 4 DVD...
-
"No end in sight"? I'm sorry, I haven't even been able to chuckle at some of the last few episodes.
But, that's just me.
-
I like the idea, but I can only imagine watching it in a theater with a bunch of boobs thinking they're in their own living rooms. Sorry, but the last few movies I've seen have scarred me again.
Would be a neat idea and I sure would be happy to see it. Must say though that I think interest in the Simpsons is waning as well. Must get deep space Homer...
-
I heard that they wouldn't make this until the series was cancelled/ended.
-
my old geometry teacher used to call people boobs. i assumed really old people said stuff like that
-
You know, I remember hearing about the South Park movie and thinking "South Park isn't that funny right now. This is a dumb idea". It turned out to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
Granted, the Simpsons have been on a LOT longer, but maybe there's something they can do to breath life in it. Get Conan back or something. ;D
-
Forgive my laziness for not browsing through the link there, but I assume this is going to be animated right, and not live action like the Flinstones was, for example? Hopefully they'll slap an R rating on it, and really let the characters go to town! 8)

Simpsons Movie News (http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/eo/20050608/111827472000.html)
I'll admit my interest in said show has waned considerably in the last two years....I still would go and see a big screen Simpsons movie
-
The episode where Bart converted to Catholicism had me howling. One of the best episodes in years. I thought the 2005/06 season started strong, was weak in the middle, and ended very strong.
I do think they could use some fresh writing blood. But I don't see any reason why the series shouldn't continue. It's still funnier than 99% of the rest of what's on TV.
-
Huge fan of the show - and I must admit the past few years have been a struggle, although this year was pretty damn good.
Yeah, I'd fork over the doh to see a movie - though I wouldn't expect much.
-
I still enjoy the series too, although I will admit it has its weak episodes. I guess after this many years, it is bound to happen. I'm one who hopes it continues as well, its just nice always "counting on" the Simpsons every Sunday night. I'd be all for a movie as well, and I'd be curious how it would turn out. I'm sure it would do pretty well, Simpsons has become as much of a pulp culture icon as Star Wars at this point I think.
-
I was just an industry function that Mike Scully attended. There was confimation that he is one of the script writers of the feature. ;D Now if only Brad Birb and Conan O'Brian were also involved.
-
After seeing this past season, I have faith they'll pull off the movie well. :)
-
........I'd fork over the doh to see a movie .....
Doh...I GET IT!!!!

Apparently, a teaser (http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/699/699651p1.html) for the 2007 movie was shown prior to some screenings of Ice Age 2 this weekend. Also, if anyone watched the Simpsons last night, it was shown during the show as well. Very short, but it did announce that the Simpsons movie would be hitting theatres on July 27, 2007.

I'd be really excited if this wasn't 10 years too late. I'll still probably go see it though...
-
Would some please put this franchise out of it's misery? The show has been unfunny for years now.
-
What are you talking about, "out if its misery?" ;)
The Simpsons show is still going strong and they never seem to run out of material. I look forward to watching it each Sunday. I love it and think it's hilarious that they are making a movie and can't wait to see it.
:P
-
Chewie,
I've been a loyal fan (and still watch every Sunday) for I don't know how long and love everything up to Season 12.
You have to admit, the past five years have nothing on the first ten or so.
The greatest shows of our time know when to hang it up - Seinfeld and Cheers are great examples.
Other great shows - ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - die too soon! >:(
-
Well I just happen to disagree, I think the latest episodes are still great. The one where Homer almost dies over and over when Marge tries to get life insurance on him is one of the funniest episodes ever, and I know that was in the past 5 years. I know there are some classics from the first seasons that everyone will remember, but I don't think that's any reason to cancel the series. It has a very strong following and you even watch the new ones still! I know what you mean that Seinfeld and Cheers hung it up when they needed to, but remember this is a cartoon, the characters don't age, and in my opinion the series hasn't aged either. I think they still have tons of fresh material and would be sad to see the show end. They just renewed it for 2 more seasons by the way. :)
:P
-
I still watch it, I meen its not that funny but it has its moments. :)
-
I guess since I've been watching it hardcore for 17 years now, starting when I was 11, it's one of those things that I've done all my life and is a link to my childhood.
:P
-
I'm 28 as well and I still remember watching them on the Tracy Ulman show. Loved it even though they looked pretty fugly back in the day compared to now. I hardly watch the show as much as I would like, but I still get a kick out of it everytime I get around to watch. Gotta love those Halloween specials too ;D
Bring on the movie I say!! Dare I ask if there's any computer animation in it?

You said it. The only saving grace is that Mike Sully is involved. 10 years ago the people who made the show what it is, Brad Bird, Conan O'Brian and Mike Sully, were writing and the show hasn't been the same since they've been gone.
-
Apparently you can watch a little bit of rough footage from the upcoming Simpsons Movie (2007) that was shown at Comic-Con. Here's the YouTube linky (http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=FFXIgaddes).
-
Removed by Fox already.
:-[
-
Oops, sorry, nevermind. It was basically about two minutes total of basic, black and white, animatic footage - but things looked good. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Simpsons on the big screen.
-
Me too, also the season preimeire is on next Sunday. For people who still watch it.
-
The Season Premier of the Simpsons?? That's not until September 10.
-
Eh, I thought it said Sunday,oh well. Yet again I say I'm stupid. :P
-
Anyone see the trailer last night? I laughed a couple of times, that, to me is a good start
-
Yeah, I caught it too - and its online now (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesimpsonsmovie/trailer/) as well. I laughed a couple of times too, and I'm really glad we're seeing the Simpsons coming to the big screen. Hopefully the movie will be great.
-
Not a bad teaser. Definately has that Simpsons wit.
-
A 2nd trailer (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesimpsonsmovie/) is now online or your viewing pleasure.
-
i cant wait for this movie! looks great. i saw the trailer at night at the museum, dont know which it was, (the rock and the hard place) but it was very funny.
-
A 3rd trailer (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesimpsonsmovie/trailer3_med.html) is now online or your viewing pleasure.

For the most part, I am a big cynic of pop culture. Star Wars and the Simpsons (well futurama too) are exceptions. But my daughters are 9 and 6, and a couple of years ago I noticed I had to keep flipping the channel when they would come in the room during the Simpsons (to say nothing of Family guy or American Dad), so I haven't been able to watch for some time.
I wish Disney would get sucked into a vortex, I see a movie a year, and reality shows make my skin crawl, but I will go to the Simpsons Movie with a smile on my face. I'm sure it will disapoint on some levels, but I'm sure I will laugh a few times as well.
Now it's time for a new thread....
-
There were a lot of good things in the trailer. I hesitate to say genus, but some of the gags looked far and above funnier than some of the fare we've been getting the last few seasons.
-
A new exclusive trailer (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808405878/video/3117170/) is now available at Yahoo Movies. Looks pretty good.
-
So- Anyone live near one of the Kwik-E-Marts?
Sadly, the closest one for me is about an hour away, but a few regular 7-11s around me stocked some Simpsons Movie related fare- Including rebranding their Slurpees Squishees. I was able to snag one of the collectable Squishee cups.
-
No Kwik-E-Marts up here, but all the Simpsons fare is available. I snagged both cups with Homer on it and tried the vile blue vanilla squishee. Blech.
-
Man, I wish they had Mister Sparkle.
-
Not sure if anyone heard and/or remembers this, but I saw this house (http://www.simpsonsfolder.com/special/house.html) in person before I moved from Vegas. It was really awesome to see in person especially since it was an "experimental" time in my life. ;)
-
It was really awesome to see in person especially since it was an "experimental" time in my life. ;)
So you were there with your boyfriend?

Take thy head out of thy ass Name. When I think experimental - I don't think of men, but hey...whatever floats your boat. :-*
-
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 (http://media.movies.ign.com/media/034/034386/vid_2064357.html) has several clips up from the Simpsons movie, if anyone is interested. It looks pretty good.
-
So... who's seen this so far? Thoughts?
:P
-
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 ;D
-
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!
:P
-
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.
-
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.
