President Schwarzenegger, Spider-Pig, And More!! THE SIMPSONS MOVIE Has A New Trailer!!

Published at:  Jun 21, 2007 11:42:58 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!


Merrick here...



There's a new trailer for The Simpsons Movie online at Yahoo.

Quite a few sequences we haven't seen before, as well as (to the best of my knowledge) our first glimpses of the "dome over Springfield" about which we reported quite a while back.

LOVE the 20th Century Fox fanfare here. May well be the...best...bastardization...ever.

CLICK Homer & Bart on the electrified lake to behold for yourself!!!

    I hope to see this movie without any regard for all of the baggage it brings with it, because it looks entertaining and amusing. It doesn't look hilarious or even necessary, but I hope it has at least 3 good laugh-out-loud moments, clever nods to episodes from the show's glory days, and the kind of storyline and humor that aren't completely fueled by pop culture (South Park, Family Guy, etc.).

    yeah yeah, show's not funny anymore, yeah yeah, we miss the (g)olden days, but, c'mon, look who's producing/writing (sadly, no Conan)/directing...those are the folks responsible for those early years of brilliance.

    and you know they didn't do it for the cash, those guys are loaded. I would only be cautiously optimistic, but each and every trailer and teaser has elicited at least a chuckle out of me...

    And it had me rolling. "I was elected to lead not to read". Keepcool they're are using Schwarzenegger because he's Bush representation - an idiot Republican president, just see the line above following the "five unthinkable options" line, it's a device to lambast the current administration without making it 100% real world. And Spider-pig was a brilliantly timed gag.

    You know what you are if you're a liberal or a conservative? You're a fucking slave. A slave to ideology. You chain yourselves to a certain way of thinking, and never let in logic, reason, conscience, or the other wonderful qualities of higher intelligence to help you make the best decisions possible. The guy who wants all conservatives to die, he's an idiot... a fucking slave. The Simpsons writers who think Hillary would make a great president, they're all fucking slaves. The 25% of people who still support every single thing Bush does without question... fucking slaves! Open your fucking minds people!!! The act of voting should be an act of CONSCIENCE, not ideology. You vote for the man or woman that you believe in your heart would do the best job, regardless of party affiliation. If the Dems had been smart and elected Lieberman to run in 2004, you bet your ass I would have voted for him, and I guarantee you he would be far better than Bush or better than Kerry would have been. On second though, if we just would have voted in McCain in 2000, we'd be doing great. So why don't moderate guys like Lieberman or McCain get the votes? Because of you fucking ideological slaves who only vote for the most extreme representations of your ideologies. Libertarians are the only people left in this country with the freedom of will. Y'all have thrown your will away and become willing slaves. Retards.

    How Did Politics Get Inserted In Here?

    by aquatarkusman

    And what did we do to deserve being treated to the thoughts of a libertarian? My problem is that I'm not sure the Simpsons does action all that well: Grandpa Simpson and the Flying Hellfish was pretty inventive, but the trailer makes it seem like the action to comedy ratio is about 3:1. I'd like to think that Swartzwelder and company have been hoarding away good ideas for the last 8 years (because they haven't been making it into the episodes) for inclusion in the movie, but the ship may have already sailed.

And I wasn't the one who started the political talk, I'm just trying to end it. We all know The Simpsons is written by a bunch of writers who like to unsubtly beat us over the head with their ideology. This is why The Simpsons of the last 9 years has sucked. Lazy writing. They used to be wonderfully subtle, now they have the subtlty of a pneumatic hammer. It gets old. And it the political BS in the talkbacks gets old. It would be nice if people had their own thoughts instead of latching onto the intellectually dishonest ideologies they follow (on both fucking sides of the aisle) which tell them what and how to think. That too, is lazy.

    The worst thing that could happen this summer would be for 20th Century FOX to screw up both a Die Hard movie AND a Simpsons movie. The first 8 minutes of LFODH look alright for an action movie but it's NOT Die Hard!! That said, the trailer for Simpsons is pretty darn funny. They'd better start the movie with Ralph Wiggum doing the Fox fanfare!!! And Spiderpig is just freaking hilarious!

Mao killed 10 times the people that Hitler did (that's 60 million Chinese peasants to you and me... and Stalin killed 20 million Russians). You can't reason with people who have none.

    Those of you who say "the show is bad now" can go to hell and die, don't care if you live or not honestly. The show, the movie, they're both great. "Spider-man 3" "Fantastic Four 2" both let everyone down this summer, it'll be nice to have a movie that provides exactly what it says it's going to, not some suckass version of garbage.

    Also, real "Simpsons" fans are still out there since the show averages 10 million viewers a week, so we don't fucking need you... turn the damn channel and fuck off

They didn't make this movie rated G like Fox did to die hard, they didn't change the designs of characters like Bay did, and they have the guys who do the tv show make the movie, it deserves the benefit of the doubt. Plus SPIDERPIG had me fucking rolling. I May have to start agreeing with other people that his site has gotten too negative.

    are u a writer, a comedy writer or anyother kind of writer cuz i'd really like to know... because your history is way off (you over inflated those numbers about stalin and Mao plus if you factor in the number of people killed indirectly by hitler, ( like regimes with hitler puppets, like bosnia actually, where hitlers puppet leaders massacred millions which pretty much was the reason for the bosnian trouble in the 1990's. plus there are some that may argue if u comebine the numbers of Native Americans and AFricans killed during the "manifest destiny" years of our country it might rival those of Mao, STalin, and Hitler so you can't really use that argument. But MOST importantly i can't believe this talkbalk is degrading to a political debate. This movie is funny political humor is funny cuz it is in your face if it's either bashing the left or right. The simpsons did plenty of in your face jokes against clinton when he was in office, so please leave politics out of it. cuz if you wanna go there we can argue all day long.

    by scamsandflams

    the simpsons is probably the greatest television show ever made and has earned my 11 bucks at the theater. it doesn't change the fact that the show has stunk for almost a decade (or more, i can't really remember anymore). and this movie will probably be a lot more "LOL POP-CULTURE HOMER IZ WACKY" than the brilliant satire of seasons 2-7ish, when the throwaway jokes within the throwaway jokes were more clever and original than anything else on TV.The argument on this TB is asinine-- people who still think the Simpsons is funny don't seem to realize that the people who don't think it's funny anymore still love the show and always will. We (the latter) are just spoiled by the golden seasons.

    I stand corrected...

    ... Mao's agricultural POLICIES killed over 60 million Chinese peasants. He didn't gas them like Hitler did to the Jews, but the result was the same. "A smelting oven in every backyard." Mao was a butcher and responsible for the deaths of 60 million people. But I digress... I too wish politics would be left out of the talkbacks, and that was what I was trying to do (where does good intentions lead?). The Simpsons used to be a platform for serious, subtle political satire that exposed the intellectual fallacy of both ideologies. Now, it's just another shill for the Democratic Party, as much as church leaders have become shills for the Republican Party. Personally, I prefer South Park, which is the closest thing on television to Fair and Balanced (sorry, Fox), and not at all subtle.

    by kevinwillis.net

    . . . and a crappy Christian (I haven't regularly attended church, in, like, 3 years now), all I can say is: Spider-pig is awesome. And so is most of the rest of the trailer. Especially Ralph in the 20th Century Fox logo. I love Ralph. This movie is going to rock. I am so there. Of course, I like most of the series shows, too, at least some part of it.And sometimes they get better with age. I've watched episodes I didn't care for when they originally aired and really enjoyed them, years after I thought they really sucked. Like fine wine, some Simpson seasons need to age before you can savor their full flavor.

    There's probably no point responding to your comment as it's all the way at the top of the talkback but here goes: "The show started to go bad at precisely the moment they started sticking in South Park gags with Homer bleeding profisely or having his intestines hanging out in non-Halloween episodes." Maybe you don't remember when he tried to jump the canyon on Bart's skateboard? Or when he fight's Bart's Big Brother sponsor and breaks his back on a fire hydrant? Homer getting brutally hurt has always been a part of the Simpsons..

    Gwi Lo, re: Homer getting hurt

    by osmosis jones

    There's a BIG difference between Homer falling down the side of a mountain (which was sorta believable) or bending backwards over a fire hydrant ("This is even more painful than it looks") and a scene where he smashes the glass on the jukebox in Moe's, and stands there with blood gushing out of his lacerated hand while exclaiming "Ooooh, hemmorage-a-mundo!" That kind of fatal woundage was usually contained only in the Halloween episodes, but far too often these days, we get "jokes" like Bart dragging homer face-down around the baseball diamond, and Homer sitting up with a blood-covered face, or Homer getting mauled by a badger and opening his shirt to reveal his intestines hanging out. That's not funny, it's just disturbing. So, the "claw hammer in the eye" gag had me hanging my head and sighing.

    by hendricks

    , via over-the-top violence, pop culture references, and constant 'The Simpsons are going to...' disjointed episodes, is the very thing the 'haters' are complaining about, you moron. I'll watch the movie (although I also don't understand Schwarzenegger over Wolfcastle... it's like bringing in Hal Fishman instead of using Kent Brockman), but I haven't been able to watch a complete episode in about 10 years. There's no heart to it anymore. No coherent 30-minute storylines. And it sucks. NO, it's NOT better than 99% of what's on television. Yes, I guess I'm a 'hater' if I think Homer getting raped by a panda is disgusting. If bringing back Frank Grimes' son is unnecessary. And I sure as hell won't watch it opening weekend, because it'd be filled with people who think hammer in the eye is hysterical.
