I hope Groening is the one pulling strings on that one, not the monkeys who are currently vomiting new Simpsons episodes out.
Can't wait to see the movie. Simpsons was once utterly fucking brilliant gem of uhh brilliancy.

I was gonna start a thread but than searched and saw this one, so I dont know if this has been posted yet but now we have the teaser trailer and trailer for the simpsons movie. Though they dont reveal anything about the movie itself, well nothing substantial anyway, they are quite funny. I love the simpsons and I hope this movie is great, which I have a feeling it will be. So without further ado, heres the link to the trailer at apple?

I've already been told, by a film reviewer friend of mine, to keep July 20th open....he's going to the review screening and taking me along.
I'll let you know what I think, but from everything I've read and heard....I expect it's going to be awesome!

This has potential to beat Titanic in boxoffice. I mean who does not know AND love The Simpsons??? Even if the recent seasons haven't been so great, nothing can take away the 10+ seasons of pure gold that we've had

oh c'mon!
Where have u been for the last 10 years?
The writers have managed an incredible run of horrendous episode after horrendous episode. How on earth could they suddenly reverse the rot after all this time?
The Simpsons IS Krusty the Klown, a bloated commercial juggernaut kept in motion by virtue that no one has anything to replace it with
This film will be terrible - possibly worse than the ep where Homer organises the superbowl half time show - yes, possibly as painfully uninspired as that

The Simpsons isnt funny any more.
It has not been funny for a number of years, it deteriorated in the mid to late ninties but was still watchable and amusing. Nowadays, and for the last few number of years it has been arse clenchingly, embarrassingly, woefully bad.
It is terrible, really quite awful. This show is one of my favourites in tv history, a true classic and now if I flick through the channels and find a new episode of the Simpsons, I keep on flicking. I can not lower myself to watch the purile garbage.
And yet if I come across an old episode I will watch it and laugh my arse off even though I have seen it a million times.
Please end it now, its over move on, you have made enough money.
Whatever happened to "ending it before people got sick off it".

indeed, indeed
For anyone that thinks the Simpsons should avoid a public hanging please watch the ep where they travel to Italy and Sideshow Bob is the mayor
People have been stoned to death for crimes far less wicked than that
I still watch new episodes purely out of curiosity - ''will it be worse than last weeks?'
How low can they go!
..and with a film they will have 2 hrs to show the ''comedy'' they cant fit in a 20 min ep....

dont worry it will feature all the Simpson cliche's:
Trips around the world for little reason other than creative bankcruptcy
Lisa will preach about some sterotypical leftist complaint
Bart will adopt an animal he struggles to care for
...and of course, Homer and Marge's relationship will be on the rocks
again
And expect plenty of pointless cameo's! Oh look Metallica....and they have one line.....what was the point?

The Simpsons have gone down hill but there are still moments of classic hilarity to be found. This last season left on a very high note with the last 2 episodes being the funniest in years. I think the movie has a chance to be good and because I have watched every episode of the simpsons and have seen it go from greatness to not so great I will be there opening day if only because of the nostalgia factor. Nothing will keep this die hard simpsons fan from seeing this movie.

Where have u been for the last 10 years?
Still watching the Simpsons...because even at it's worst, it's better than 90% of the sitcom drivel on TV today. Is it what it was in it's heyday? No, I agree. But it still makes me laugh more than just about anything (the only exception being, possibly, the Office) on Network TV.

Read the premise of the movie, take a gander at some of the spoilers, and watch the trailers. Remember, the writers also managed an incredible run of HILARIOUS eps too.....and many more of the "top talent" that made S1 - 10 so classic are involved in the movie than have been involved in recent seasons. It sounds fucking funny. Up there with "You only Move Twice" and "Homer the Great".

We'll see....I'll let you know...but I think it's amusing you think The Simpsons will be bad, but you're looking forward to Transformers, a franchise being resurrected, raped, bastardized, and pillaged all in the name of commercialism. I wonder if you'll see the irony in that......

I've heard they brought back a lot of the old writers for the movie. All the new episodes have been by newer writers who, as mentioned, have blown mules when it comes to finding what's good.

Agreed, although I will be checking out the movie because lets face it amongst the first 8 or so years there is some of the finest television of all time (in my opinion). Just makes the following 10 all the more painful.
On a separate note, you mention that sideshow Bob episode. Can anyone remember an episode where they all moved to some island and there was some strange fog or something and then all the characters started doing bizarre things (memory's a bit hazy). I just remember it being dire beyond belief. I think it was like 3 or 4 years ago. Basically i feel that the simpsons used to tell a story then all of a sudden they started making up really random and pointless stories that didn't fit. Anyway that episode for me sums up exactly how I feel. Shame I cant remember anything else about it - Island, thats all folks.
Will give the movie a chance, hoping for the best.

How can a
toyline
made into a cartoon made into a film be - ''pillaged all in the name of commercialism''?!?
What on earth do u think Transformers is?
Its an excercise in creative marketing - and always has been - and no one would ever claim otherwise
Intrestingly enough its written and produced by massive Transformer fans, people that could rival any of our knowledge of the show - Steven Spielberg is an avid Transformers fan and was instrumental in the film being made - they even made Michael Bay learn the back story. The net is awash with interviews with the writers and producers, people ony to happy to talk abut it
All the characters, designs and story elements were created by the writers - Michael Bay (in his own words) has said his sole contribution to the robots look was adding flames to Prime - everything else was done by avid fans.
Maybe their vision is unothodox, but its been made by people who love the Transformers and intend for it to be the biggest film of the summer - and commercial? Just remember: this film was made to sell toys

hmmm....
well there was an ep where they went to 'the Island of Dr Hibbert' where he turned them all into animals - a Treehouse of Horror episode
..and yes, i remember it being unspeakably dreadful too
..it was in another Treehouse of Horror were 'the fog' turned them inside out.....
do those two sound familiar?
as far as worst eps go - the Ricky Gervais ep wins the award hands down. As comic book guy would say 'worst episode ever'
