Meenzer 14136 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) The Beavis & Butt-head and South Park movies were even better than the series that spawned them, so I'm hopeful, though I suppose there's a far bigger body of work to live up to in this case. EDIT: Mind, nothing should ever dare take on the sheer comedy cheese of Hot Shots: Part Deux's Iraq-and-a-hard-place gag.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Shame they didn't do the movie when the programme and writing were at their peak rather than now. Hope they get back to their best for this. I think Futurama would be much more suited to making a movie version of the two Matt Groening programmes given the choice.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 There's another trailer out. A nice long one rather than a taster. Not as funny as the first 2, but my initially low expectations are growing the more I see of it. It looks lush in glorious widescreen. http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesimps...ler3_large.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM4 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Must say it does look good. But I do wish they would end the whole thing with the movie. That would truly be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Spoiler The film boasts the same sly cultural references and flashes of brilliance that have earned the television series a following that ranges from tots to comparative literature PhDs. Despite its clownishness and childish graphics, it still offers searing insights into the pathetic human condition. When the residents of Springfield learn that they are confronting catastrophe, for instance, the panicked occupants of the bar and the next-door church pour out into the street and change places — the drinkers taking solace in religion and the religious finding comfort in drink. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol...icle2118613.ece Getting class reviews all over. Average of 9/10 on IMDB. Up to #122 on the top 250. If the nerd boy "worst episode ever" clan like it must be good. Was meant to go and watch it tonight but a bit of a crisis intervened. Deffo this weekend though. Edited July 26, 2007 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6087 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Could have seen it today but had to see harry potter as id chosen the last 3 films and the missus was sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliver 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I saw it last night. I thought it was pretty average. Like many films, if you watch the trailer it kills lots of the laughs and I think Happy Face just ruined one of the best bits for most of you. I'm quite a casual Simpsons watcher. My mate, who loves The Simpsons (IDST) thought it was amazing. There are some good bits, and most of the clever bits completely wooshed my audience, but there are lots of rubbish/obvious jokes in it, too.

geordieshandy 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 We're going tonight. I'm actually quite excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Saw it last night and thought it was pretty good, made me laugh a lot of times anyway. I was so worried it was going to be utter shit that I was delighted with it being decent in the end! There are some moments of real class, and refences to other episodes but you have to be a bit of a Simpsons geek to appreciate those. It's worth watching if you're a Simpsons fan anyway.

Renton 18049 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 If it's half as good as South Park the film it'll be unmissable. Mind, the series isn't half as good any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheMan 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 You mean the programme or the movie? Because the older I get the funnier I find the Simpsons! So many reference went over my head when I was younger that I get now, not sure how you can call it a kids programme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM4 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Might be going to see it tomorrow night... I am dreading it somewhat though. Watching the DVDs of the old shows (seasons 1-9) is such a treat but the new episode sound, look and are complete crap. Just a random succession of even more random events and jokes. Garbage. I hope the movie is more in the mould of the earlier episodes than the new stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishMag 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well the movie is supposedly '17 years in the making' so heres hoping. Went to the advance preview last night but it was sold out:( I'm really looking forward to it, hopefully it will be near or even of the standard of the shows from season 1-9. Everything after that has been seriously downhill, I don't even bother watching new ones now, thankfully on RTÉ they've gone back to showing older ones, currently on season 8, pure quality!!
