Mind you, that doesn't mean they'll neccasarily like it (see: The Phantom Menace). But they will sure as hell care.

It's also sponsered by those bastards, FOX the killer of our beloved show. Should we trust them?

It won't bomb. Even if it's bad, the Simpsons might just be popular enough to scrape through....

I'm shocked that they are finally making a Simpsons movie. But I'm even more shocked that someone who isn't leelaholic started a Simpsons thread! Anyway, my thoughts about the movie: if they use the current writing staff, it will be about as good as their other big-screen effort("The Animal" starring Rob Schneider). If its written by some older writers, then it COULD be good, but I am still skeptical. By leelaholic: You should be shot.
Ha! Says the man who still has faith in Swartzwelder.

Do you have difficulty understanding this is a Futurama message board, and being so there's probably a much more larger number of people who would rather see a Futurama movie rather than a shitty Simpsons movie? This movie will suck unless they get some of the old writers to write. Even then, it's hard to think of a Simpsons plot (other than maybe some Treehouse of Horror thing) that could last even as much as an hour and a half. If the latter parts of "Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part II" taught us anything, it's that the Simpsons doesn't hold up too well after a half-hour to 45 minutes.

We know that Al Jean and Mike Reiss are on the team and I think I read that the movie deal contract says that Matt Groening has to have a big part.

Of course we'd like to see a Futurama Movie more than a shitty Simpsons Movie!! But we don't know if it's going to be shitty, do we?

I'm just agreeing on the part that most people here would rather see a Futurama movie anyway. I never bluntly said it would be a shitty Simpsons movie. Unless you're just referring to OC?...

I seriously do think it could be ok, but I have my doubts (because of recent seasons). I balanced these two sides out with my first post in this thread, and haven't bad mouthed the movie since. I've only agreed on a logical comparison...

*cancels airstrike on Otis' house* Well... I never doubted you. Is Matt actually going to contribute to this thing or what's the story?

It'll probably be good because of the writers. there's troubling reports that say mike scully will be involved, however there's also Al Jean Mike Reiss David Mirkin George Meyer Matt Groening and James.L.Brooks, although the article didn't give any evidence for that idea so who knows.
But its not going to like the series. there will be 7 writers thats definate. according to the report 6 of them are brilliant writers and are taking there time over finding a good idea.
and of course people would prefer a good futurama movie over a crappy simpsons movie, but a lot of us would prefer a good simpsons movie over a bad futurama movie.

Yeah, there's reports, or at least speculation, that Brooks and Groening will be helming this, while Mirkin, Reiss, Jean, Scully, and Meyer will be writers on it. I think they said the speculation came from an "insider" but who knows what they mean by that. In any case Brooks did speak publically about the film so at least he is probably involved.
Also, regarding a Futurama movie....keep in mind that this could help Futurama's chances of that A LOT. Especcially if this movie is a success (and it WILL be a success financially, no matter what), Fox Studios may become interested in launching other movies where they can its "from the creator/producers of The Simpsons!". Who knows? Maybe they'll even insert imagery of Futurama characters into the Simpsons movie to hype it up.
