This is going to be a petty, hateful talkback... by Flim Springfield	Jun 21st, 2007 11:42:18 PM
Which, I guess, is par for the course.
hmm by The Pusher	Jun 21st, 2007 11:42:32 PM
ok.
I reported this 12 hours ago... by jimmy_009	Jun 21st, 2007 11:42:46 PM
in the Ratatouille thread.
This is going to be awesome. by RobMota	Jun 21st, 2007 11:43:20 PM
I really hope they dont hold back on this one.
The Spiderpig had me rollin' by jimmy_009	Jun 21st, 2007 11:43:45 PM
Can't wait for this one.
Finally... by CCRmy of One	Jun 21st, 2007 11:43:51 PM
I've been waiting half my life for this movie. I haven't seen a good film in ages so if this doesn't deliver I'm throwing myself off of a bridge. All are welcome to come.
Looks pretty funny... by darshn22	Jun 21st, 2007 11:45:51 PM
Not as good as Ratatouille but not bad as Shrek 3...
Claw end of hammer in Homer's eye... by Osmosis Jones	Jun 21st, 2007 11:48:04 PM
...equals crap. 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.
Love Homer by lost.rules	Jun 21st, 2007 11:49:38 PM

Oh good-- dumb Republican president jokes by Mgmax	Jun 21st, 2007 11:54:38 PM
The Republican president makes fun of reading! Ho ho hee hee ha ha. I've been laughing at that one since January 20, 2001. Probably you'll get another four years to keep making them next year.
man, if someone mentioned it in a TB a few hours ago... by BadMrWonka	Jun 21st, 2007 11:54:53 PM
how can this even be considered news? I mean...Jimmy_009 clearly should now be the legal owner of this site now, and it's sole writer. everyone on this site should hang their heads in shame, because they published a link to a trailer that might as well be for a movie made decades ago. how can this site continue to function if nerds that are online 20 hours out of every 24 happen across a link befor they do and post it in a thread, thus negating it's interest to anyone else? I know for a fact that as soon as Jimmy_009 posts something online, my magic indicator notfies me immediately, and I instantly see whatever it is he's got cookin' as for the rest of AICN's readership, who may not have a surgically implanted Jimmy notification beacon in their skull? fuck em! it's much more important that every other article has some jackoff in the talkback thread going, "aint it old news! this was on my brother's friend's dog's blog like 10 minutes ago!!" we have to have priorities...
So at last it will be revealed who was first ... by ludmir88	Jun 21st, 2007 11:57:16 PM
Harry Knowles or that fat guy comic book geek from the Simpsons!!! yeah!! Harry i know you are just a copy.
BadWonka by lost.rules	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:00:27 AM
You're an asshole.
But wait CCRmy of One you have to ... by ludmir88	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:01:14 AM
see Transformers first then you will have a real reason to throw yourself from a bridge. just wait a couple of weeks.!!!
Wow you've got a lot of time on your hands Wonka by jimmy_009	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:03:19 AM
Great essay though.
Read BadMrWonka's comment by WildcatWildcat	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:06:58 AM
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.).
bad by ScamsAndFlams	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:08:15 AM
if you cant even make fun of arnold effectively, the tank is dry.
I'm so fucking there!!! by mrsdpoet	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:21:23 AM
This moive looks hlarious. The Simpsons TV show has sucked ass for a few years, but it looks like they're back to their old selves.
old..old..old news, lol. It by lionbiu	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:31:14 AM
old..old..old news, lol. It looks very funny though. More excited about this than Transformers.
So they're using the same voice for by Shivv	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:31:22 AM
Arnold as they have used for the past 15 years or so for McBane? That's pretty weak.
PG-13 for irreverent humor throughout? by Colonel Activity	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:41:10 AM
Okay, could you be a little more vague?
Yeah, that episode was funny by Colonel Activity	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:57:50 AM
because it there was a thread of truth; you know, how the Army can't meet its' recruiting goals because of the clusterfuck Bush Administration's handling of the war, so the lowered the IQ standards and are allowing criminals to enlist...also, older man than ever before. I think that the guys that decided to sell this country on going to Iraq even before 9/11 should go fuck themselves. And die. I think that every neo-con should die. In a house fire.
Spider-Pig FTW by spaceworlder	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:06:14 AM
Looking forward to July 27.
They should have done this 8 years ago by McClane_Corleone	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:09:26 AM
Y'know, back when the show was funny.
Uh...the show is still funny by jimmy_009	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:14:28 AM
You've just jumped on the Simpsons Sucks bandwagon. Is it Golden Age Simpsons quality? No, but nothing is. It's still good for a dozen good laughs an episode.
lost.rules by BadMrWonka	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:15:14 AM
how do you have time to post here AND whine nonsensically in the Indy 4 talkback? and sorry Jimmy, you were the straw that broke Wonka's back. there have been much, much worse, I know.

AICN Talkbackers by yodalovesyou	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:53:30 AM
Sad Pricks, you are all Sad pricks. I hate 85 % of you. This is the only movie I'm looking forward to this summer and you're all sad, hateful, petty, bile-spitting wankers who are envious because you've all done absolutely FUCK ALL with your pathetic lives
lost.rules by BadMrWonka	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:55:39 AM
you're kidding, right? that's all you got? poor kid.
something about animated movies... by haitu	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:57:33 AM
animated movies are unable to get me excited like live action.
I can only be positive about this by Franklin T Marmoset	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:01:46 AM
Maybe The Simpsons is not what it once was, but I am still excited about this one. It is The Simpsons, and The Simpsons deserves all of our respect, just like Evander Holyfield.
yodalovesyou by Ruddy Heck	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:06:40 AM
That was a fairly sad, hateful, petty, bile-spitting, wanky post now wasn't it? Just because you are looking forward to it doesn't mean we have to. The Simpsons used be about more than just surreal zaniness - it used to have actual jokes. I think some of us just want a bit of intelligence back in the show/movie.
BadMrWonka, I just want you to know.... by lost.rules	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:09:22 AM
I fucked your mother. You can call me daddy from now on.
Heartwarming. You Americans have such... by Octavian	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:45:48 AM
...a delightful turn of phrase. ("Fuck you, Limey!") As for the trailer it has more laughs in 90 seconds than the series has had in the last five years. What a shame they didn't cancel the series to concentrate on movies every couple of years and leave its one time unparalleled greatness and genius uncompromised.
"Us Americans?" Don't you mean "Us bloody wankers?" by zillabeast	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:56:45 AM
Fuck you, Limey!
why use Schwarzenegger... by keepcoolbutcare	Jun 22nd, 2007 03:33:07 AM
when they already have Rainier "Luftwaffe" Wolfcastle? This had better be addressed with a witty aside, dammit! 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...
Saw this last night before a Die Hard screening by filmcoyote	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:05:31 AM
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.
Season 18 by Midnightxpress	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:06:14 AM
The latest season was actually pretty funny....and lets face it, if the show had ended after 8 seasons, people would be bitching that Fox ended it's best ever show early....
filmcoyote by keepcoolbutcare	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:36:49 AM
oh, I grok the why of the choice, but it would strike me as funnier, and not quite as "cheap"/obvious, if they went with their ingenious Schwarzenegger stand-in instead.
Seeing as the for quite some time now The Simpsons.... by C Legion	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:58:08 AM
has been shit, I cannot believe how good the movie looks. I was laughing throughout the trailer. Maybe I'm just in an unusually good mood, but this looks, surprisingly, really fucking good.
Ranier Luftwafte Wolfcastle by Cameron1	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:31:36 AM
Absolutely should be President. Quite right Keepcoolbutcare. I've laughed quite a bit in every trailer I just hope we haven't seen all the best stuff.
Zillabeast. by Octavian	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:36:09 AM
If I'd meant "wankers" I'd have said it. But I didn't, so I didn't. I'm sorry not to feed that enormous chip on your shoulder Zilla but I rather like America and Americans, and frankly probably know more about both than you do from 3000 miles away. Sorry about that. Not really good idea to attack someone from about your only true friend in the world at the moment but I'll happily pass your misplaced venom on to the families of the 200+ UK soldiers who have died while serving alongside your guys recently whilst remembering with deep affection those of yours who suffered and died in Europe over the last century too. Those that wish may now recommence fucking each others' mothers and calling yourselves "assholes" over a disagreement about a... cartoon. Yes, that's right, a cartoon... Everyone else over there without the insane anger management problems some exhibit can carry on as normal. Make it so. "Have a nice day."
I challenge the Simpsons writers... by stones_throw	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:41:55 AM
...to do an episode that A) doesn't involve the Simpsons becoming famous, winning a competition, appearing on television, going on vacation and B) doesn't have a trite moral at the end.
PLEASE DONT SUCK by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:43:00 AM
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DONT.
That trailer had three laughs... by stones_throw	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:47:01 AM
...which is 3 more than any trailer so far.
around 2002 by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:48:41 AM
is when the show lost me. new episodes started getting weak, and now there just plain bad. but i heard the last 2 episodes of season 18 were classic
If the Movie lives up to the trailers... by TheLawyerKobayashi	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:55:44 AM
This is going to be fuckin awesome!!! Spiderpig! that and Ralph Wiggum doin the 20th Century Fox theme! Though I think Tom Rathman is a dickless Movie Exec.
Badmrwonka by Iamagoodguy	Jun 22nd, 2007 06:05:35 AM
Well said dude other AICNers should totally be aware of what jimmy 009 has to say as soon as he says it otherwise I don't think they can call themselves movie fans or proper internet movie nerds.
after 300 by palewook	Jun 22nd, 2007 06:23:33 AM
there been any release that hasn't been a steaming pile of crap? spiderman3, pirates 3, etc etc..now a simpsons movie from a franchise that people forgot 5-10 years ago.
The Look by MediaNerd	Jun 22nd, 2007 06:31:51 AM
Anyone else not digging the animation style they used? Way to much 3d and the motion just seems different. Sure they've evolved over the years, but theirs a certain animation style that persists that just doesn't seem to be here. Here's to hoping its good though!
direct link?? by NKG	Jun 22nd, 2007 07:29:11 AM
pls pls pls pls!!!
it looks like it trying too hard, but... by WolfmanNards	Jun 22nd, 2007 07:32:43 AM
there are some funny moments in the trailer. They had the oppurtunity to make the great american movie, but I don't think they took advantage of it. Beavis and Butthead, and South Park both did a good job at translating their shows, but I don't see the same happening with this, sadly.
You know what the real problem is by expert40	Jun 22nd, 2007 07:33:53 AM
... it's extremists on both sides. As a libertarian I only believe in one thing: the Constitution of the United States. I love how the libs and the cons like to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution they like
... and to finish my point by expert40	Jun 22nd, 2007 07:41:12 AM
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.
Little jokes I liked by The Fatman	Jun 22nd, 2007 07:52:26 AM
Otto stealing the bin from the broken hardward store window instead of throwing a bin through the window... "BINGE RESPONSIBLY" on the Duff blimp... the arrow in Homer's head when they appear from the bushes. And Spider-Pig is just funny.
Librarians? by metaluna	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:00:06 AM
Librarians are the only people left in the US with freedom of will? Holy cow. Does your lack of ideology go as far as telling people to shush for making too much noise, or do you just leave them alone to annoy everyone else who just wants a quiet read?
How Did Politics Get Inserted In Here? by Aquatarkusman	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:08:29 AM
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.
Spider-pig? Freakin' hilarious. by rev_skarekroe	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:20:03 AM
The rest of it? Eh, not so much.
The dude... by expert40	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:21:33 AM
... who wanted all conservatives to die set me off. We're talking about some deep-seeded sociopathic ideology for that guy. I just don't get it. 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 guy said every NEO-CON should die, not ALL conservatives. So if you're, say, Barry Goldwater, you're ok in his book.
Actually, watch the 5 or so last episodes of Simpsons. by Stalin vs Predator	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:35:02 AM
Starting with that episode in which Homer is a paparazzi, it seemed to be returning to the former glory. Or maybe it was just a dying jump up. But if so, hopefully it's a long jump.
Who's a good piggy?? by cdubbs727	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:40:51 AM
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!
Rev... by expert40	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:44:32 AM
... so THAT'S okay? Sheesh. But to this guy, left wing socialists are okay? See how little sense it all is? This guy must occupy the Michael Moore wing of the democratic party (which is the craziest wing). You know, the wing that thinks Castro and Mao are nice guys. BTW... 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. I just have one question... WHY can't we all just get along? We need to take a page out of Cartman's book and realize it doesn't matter if your Ginger or normal... we're all the same!
Stop hating by Metlar413	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:45:19 AM
For Pete's sake, the more you read these talkbacks the more you realize that (according to -so called- fans) EVERYTHING SUCKS!!!??!?!?! There is not one talkback on this site where the haters don't hold the majority of the posts. The Simpsons is still a great show - the movie looks good - all the haters should go take some Xanax and go outside for a little while to relax.
Simpsons rules by lutermanji	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:46:49 AM
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
George Bush & Our Troops keep us safe & alive. by uss cygnus	Jun 22nd, 2007 08:50:09 AM
They thought Abraham Lincoln was an "Idiot Republican President" in 1861, too. You can look it up. Isn't it sad that the kook fringe liberals and media who most deserve to be killed in the next terrorist attack on this country probably won't? There's no justice.
This book doesn't have any answers! by SID 8.0	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:11:22 AM
Come on this is going to be hilarious. I already like Spider-Pig more than Spider-Man 3.
SID 8.0... by expert40	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:25:02 AM
... at least we know the humor that surrounds Spider-Pig will be intirely INTENTIONAL, unlike like the God-awful embarrassingly unintentional comedy that pervaded that piece of crap we call Spider-Man 3: The Tony Manero Story!
ENOUGH! by expert40	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:26:59 AM

That's the first preview that actually has me... by rbatty024	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:41:44 AM

you guys are fucked up seriously by sokitome	Jun 22nd, 2007 11:05:49 AM
OK i have lashed out against movies on here but cmon how can u guys bash the simpsons. 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. I mean cmon is the fucking simpsons you fucking retards Fucking give it a chance, I thnk it looks great. Seriously we can't lose all our credibility on this site if we just bash everything and anything.
expert 40 by sokitome	Jun 22nd, 2007 11:14:48 AM
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.

news flash by kennofolds	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:12:50 PM
liberals kill people, conservatives kill people, fascists kill people, communists kill people, christians kill people, muslims kill people, pagans kill people, agnostics kill people, people kill people. period. go fault-find and bitch with those who want to listen all day if you want to, or LIVE and move on, pointing fingers is for children who fart on the schoolbus. Very excited for the simpsons, If it wasnt for sunday nights with the simpsons we wouldnt have family guy or american dad or most animated shows. Quit whining and go see a movie instead of whining about them.
I stick by "bad" but I will see this by ScamsAndFlams	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:16:23 PM
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... by expert40	Jun 22nd, 2007 12:46:12 PM
... 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.

I haven't watched it for about five years, but I'm there. With pigs on.

"Seriously we can't lose all our credibility on this site if we just bash everything and anything." ...Seriously? You think TB'ers have ANY credibility? I mean, really, man. It's a bunch of fucking nerds on a message board finding something wrong with EVERYTHING that comes along. Where's the credibility? Noone is going to say their enjoyment of a movie was affected by some fat-ass dork in a basement somewhere who thinks he's clever and enlightened and superior for bitching about it.

OBAMA 4 PRES by gambit88	Jun 22nd, 2007 01:41:00 PM
This movie shoulda been made 13 years ago and will most likely suck. So instead everyone should donate the money you wouldve spent on a ticket to this pile of crap to support Obama's presidential campaign. Rock on.

EXACTLY right on! i could argue with expert 40 over who killed how many all fucking day long to say this movie is a shill for the democratic party is nonsense and his misguided political anger is completely misdirected and NOT for this forum...i am so looking forward for this flick.

i will admit you're right JEDI, there is no more credibility
at the risk of turning this off topic... by Bouncy X	Jun 22nd, 2007 02:27:14 PM
regarding that american soldiers are stupid thing...well look at how many canadian and british soldiers have died due to "friendly fire" so yeah....maybe they arent stupid but they sure as hell need glasses :P ....but to get back on topic, i think this looks great but i'm also one of the few who has never stopped loving the show. i know i know, how dare i have a different opinion than the masses but there it is.

"I was elected to lead, not read." I think it looks great! THe animation looks better than the TV show and it looks like it'll be funny as hell. I'm excited. (and so's Ralph!)

As a Right-Wing Republican . . . by kevinwillis.net	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:37:28 PM
. . . 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.
This movie is 10 years too late. by Cleyu	Jun 22nd, 2007 04:59:02 PM
Nobody cares about the Simpsons anymore.

Nobody Cares? by JediWuddayaknow	Jun 22nd, 2007 05:35:47 PM
Um...judging from the talk surrounding this movie, people care.
Osmosis Jones by Gwai Lo	Jun 22nd, 2007 06:28:45 PM
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..

He's a damn fine governor of the Nation State of California, and it was already foretold by Demolition Man and Doctor Who that he'll be President of the United States someday.
Totally different animation style by RadWon	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:01:29 PM
mixed with the newer type of writing and 'jokes' we've been seeing for past few seasons, this one is gonna suck! Sure it'll make tons of $$$ (which equals success in Hollywood) but it'll suck all the same.
different animation style? by Bouncy X	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:09:41 PM
animation looks exactly the same, sure they move smoother but thats just the result of more money due to this being a theatrical movie.
Spider-Pig by PadewanKlaatu	Jun 22nd, 2007 09:21:45 PM
can anyone seriously tell me that they don't want a version of this theme done by Aerosmith like they did for the soundtrack to Spider-Man a few years ago?
Gwi Lo, re: Homer getting hurt by Osmosis Jones	Jun 22nd, 2007 10:22:20 PM
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.
that looks.. by disfigurehead	Jun 23rd, 2007 06:04:23 AM
Like a big suckfest. I stopped watching the Simpsons a long time ago. This is going to be Spidey 3 bad.
Yea... by Traumnovelle	Jun 23rd, 2007 10:08:45 AM
I'm not going to defend WHY this looks like a complete waste of everyones time, because we've all argued a million times on here about the current state of the Simpsons, but if you thought that 'Spiderpig' gag was funny, you are not a smart person and I hate you.

The Simpsons' resemblance to Family Guy... by Hendricks	Jun 23rd, 2007 01:26:42 PM
, 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.
That was funny... "Spider-Pig" by The Dum Guy	Jun 23rd, 2007 01:27:50 PM
I only want to know if Scwarzennegar is the Prez., then what (who) is McBane, and why is his wife called Maria as well? I haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if anyone else has asked this...
To quote Bart Simpson....... by lost.rules	Jun 23rd, 2007 03:00:38 PM

Mendozaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! by uss cygnus	Jun 24th, 2007 12:06:35 AM
DNC Talking Points: Let's negotiate with Mendoza. He's just misunderstood. And we wouldn't even be fighting with Mendoza if we weren't in Iraq to begin with, right? After all, we attacked ourselves on 9/11, right? Mendoza is really nice guy and we really should always be blaming America first, right liberals? That way, we can make the 10 billionth evil republican joke on the Simpsons and be hailed as courageous and visionary, right guys? Get off the phone, you big dope.
Why is it when detractors pick on examples they hated.. by PushTheButton	Jun 24th, 2007 12:22:31 AM
... it's always from seasons 11-14? That's acient history. The show is in closing in on season 19 now.
Is that a real question? by Hendricks	Jun 24th, 2007 01:44:35 AM
Because that's when I stopped watching regularly. Jesus. If I had hated the show, and continued to watch, just to complain, then that would be retarded - a point many fanboys of various TV shows have brought up (24 talkbalks, for example). I've even watched a few minutes of the supposedly 'vastly improved' past couple of seasons. Didn't enjoy it. Thus, didn't pick it back up.
Actually, Ah-Nuld is a great politician ... by W3bzpinn3r	Jun 24th, 2007 04:11:22 AM
Ah-Nuld is a FAR better governor than Davis ever could DREAM of being. Ah-Nuld is actually better at politics then he ever was at "acting." As someone who lives in California, I'd actually rather have Ah-Nuld in the white house than the Looney Toons president we have now...
Oh, and, to keep on topic... this movie will tank. by W3bzpinn3r	Jun 24th, 2007 04:15:12 AM
I'll be VERY surprised if it hits 80 mil in the first week. It will fall of the charts in week 2, since Transformers will debut and run 200 mil + in two weeks, until it, too, fades to obscurity before the wrath of the Harry Potter machine...
