The Old Man and the Simpsons Thread

She reminds me of a skinny Ninaka.
Also, I hate her.

I went to see The Simpsons Movie and it was amazing and well funnier then the TV show! The storyline is really good and the gags were really funny.

Show spoiler

Even Homer was funnier then ever. So loved the bit where he put his fingers up to the Springfield crowd. His relationship with the pig was cute and I thought at one scene he was going to kiss the pig which didn’t happen and I wanted to happen. Homer and Marge has the best snog scenes in the Movie.

Lisa gets an Irish boyfriend which was nice but there scenes need to have more.

Maggie is a clever baby in which I always adore.

As for Bart. Ok about his naked skateboarding scene was funny and so unexpected where YOU COULD SEE HIS WEINER! OH MY GOD! Now I knew that he was going to be covered but at the little tiny scene where you could see it the audience where in shock by screams. My jaws dropped and I was laughing for 5 minutes. I think The Simpsons made history for show the first proper nudity and the movie got away with it too. You never see the day where Bart turns to Flanders for a farther figure.

The movie is so brilliant and I would see it again and get it on DVD when it comes out in a few moths.

I've just seen it!!!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

WARNING, there are some major spoilers in here. Here's my brief review...

Show spoiler

This movie doesn't disappoint, when you think of The Simpsons Movie this movie is what you expect! This movie is a real mix of all eras of the show, and if that worries you then don't worry because what I mean is the very best bits of the recent eras and some classic stuff as well. The humour for the most part is fantastic, my personal fave joke is where Cheif Wiggum has all the donuts on his gun and takes a bite off his gun and almost blows his head off! Everyone is in character, and although Homer gets the most screen time he is the lovable Homer for the most part.

I would have liked to see more secondary characters, but I can see why they limited this because otherwise it would have ended up being a one liner fest from every character. There were some excellent jokes involving secondary characters trying to break through the dome. I loved Plopper, the Spiderpig joke is a highlight, as is the Harry Plopper Joke. I was worried that Green Day would ruin this movie, but luckily their appearance was tastefully done. This movie didn't feel re-hashed, it felt fresh and just very enjoyable. Barts skateboard scene is much longer in the movie and is a true highlight from this movie, you'd never imagine there were so many different ways to cover his package lol. The ending was handled really well, much better than recent episodes of the show, in fact the whole movie is way better than the current show.

Although this movie was fantastic, I want to give a blanced review so now onto the things which I think could have been improved. One plot hole is that Homer dumps the pig waste in the lake to save time so that he can get the free donuts which are being given away. The thing is he never actually gets to the donuts, making him dumping the waste in the lake to save time pointless. I am disappointed that Sideshow Bob wasn't in it, I didn't even spot him in the crowd. There was no blood in the Itchy & Scratchy cartoon. My least fave joke was the lake forming a skull and crossbones symbol and saying "Evil", that was bad. They've changed the Mr Burns joke about releaseing the hounds, now he explains that the exit is on the left and it doesn't work as well as the trailer. Patty and Selma scene from the TV spot is cut and yet the cut scene from the movie is still pictured on the credits. Somebody forgot to take it out. The wrecking ball gag went on a bit too long and Homer no longer says "Time to save my family". The Alaska part did drag a little at times, but only a little. That all might sound bad, but really it's not enough to ruin the movie, these are minor flaws and the movie is still excellent. I can't wait to see it in the cinema again!

4/5

I'm seeing it Friday, so i'll read the spoilers after I suppose.

[Reply #164 on:]

How did you guys see it?

[Reply #165 on:]

In England it opened today...

[Reply #166 on:]

I thought it opened internationally on Friday. Guess I misread.

[Reply #167 on:]

What! otis your so lucky!!

[Reply #168 on:]

So am I so lucky

[Reply #169 on:]

I hate this stupid retard show. it's not funy and all the characters are dumb, plus they try to much t be like family guy. what a ripoff and waste of time.

[Reply #170 on:]

Actually, it's the other way around.  The Simpsons have been on TV since 1987 (they were a split off of the old Tracy Ullman show, where they were a 2 minute cartoon to start), and have been one of Fox's pivotal shows since it started; I love 'em.  Family guy is funny as well; they've been around since 1999, and supposedly were originally created using the Simpsons as a starting point, then "knocking it up a notch", according to Seth McFarland, who's the creator.

[Reply #171 on:]

wait wait wait Mr.zoidberg are you talkin abot you dont like Futurama because your confusing me....

[Reply #172 on:]

NO!!! I love futurama its one of the best shows in the world, but i hate the simpsons because it steals from family guy my #1 favorite show (futurama is #2 but close)

[Reply #173 on:]

While that makes more sense than many Family Guy references, I still don't think it's correct.

[Reply #174 on:]

Did you hear Seattle John when he said that The Simpsons were made twenty years ago (if you count the Tracy Ullman shorts) and Family Guy was made eight years ago. Or are you trapped in your own little arrogant world where only you matter?

[Reply #175 on:]

wow i love that young people think old stuff steals from the new. thats like say the rolling stones stole their act from the hives

That's exactly what I was thinking quite loudly.

I just want you to know that I don't like you.  I also want you to know that I hope you vomit all over yourself naked in a bathroom; where will your precious family guy be then?

I bet you made that up last Friday. 

[Reply #180 on:]

Awsome. The DVD sounds great. I wonder what happened to Spider Pig/ Harry Plopper hopefully that will be answered in the next season.

There is nothing I can say to Mr. Zoidberg that hasn't been said yet.

I hope Mr. Zoidberg likes these videos  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZnNsbtsUV0  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DjLTM2UoL0
 I wonder if he knows Futurama is created by the same person who created The Simpsons.

(Crap, double post). Can a mod please delete this?

"Ullman View: Recreates the movie in the style of the original Tracey Ullman Show shorts."

o_o...XD

That's such a great idea. XD

[Reply #184 on:]

Posted because my other post didn't show up. Ignore.

[Reply #185 on:]

jeez, people actually believe that?

[Reply #186 on:]

No :P Edited my post to change the tone.

[Reply #187 on:]

something about the true release

sounds kinda sucky so i better wait till 08 for the multidisc, bonusladden release that will surely follow

[Reply #188 on:]

That's it? :/ That sounds really... dull.

[Reply #189 on:]

as i said, wait a few month till mid 08 and you will get a SE or something like that

[Reply #190 on:]

I'll rent the first release for the movie, then buy the special edition when it comes out for the delicious extras.

[Reply #191 on:]

TV promo for The Simpsons Season 19. Can you believe that, Season 19!... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqe-PP3CtHU

[Reply #192 on:]

simpsons movie packing looks bad!
german:


at least the LE of the soundtrack looks slightly better



i'll be waiting for the SE anyway

[Reply #193 on:]

That German packaging is pretty meh. It makes it look like Homer the movie. It should have all of The Simpsons on the cover...

[Reply #194 on:]

actually i think it's the international packing... haven't seen any other version

[Reply #195 on:]

I could've sworn I saw this cover over at nohomers and it was deemed promotional.

[Reply #196 on:]

It IS promotional. It was just a mock-up using one of the posters for the movie.

[Reply #197 on:]

Good, let's hope that the real cover doesn't just have Homer on it. I do however like the spine, clean and simple and being white it would stand out but also look good next to the season box sets...

[Reply #198 on:]

Me too. As for the cover, if anyone's seen that promotional image of the entire family running (each holding a different object, eg. Homer has Harry Plopper, Bart has his slingshot, etc.), something along the lines of that would be good.

[Reply #199 on:]

Heh, was that Colbert in tonight's episode?
