simpsons movie is out
 

So I go to the theater for the very first showing. There's a line outside. I'm thinking what a great pop-cultural event this'll be. Turns out there was only one cashier and most people wanted to see Harry Potter or Rattitoullie.

Anyhow, there was enough of what Simpsons fans love for me to give it a thumbs up. Yeah, there are individual episodes that are better than the movie, but then, some are worse.

I was suprised by the irreverence. There's like three suicide gags and other unfortunate deaths. Marge says "Goddamn." A few church jokes. It wasn't as crazy as the South Park movie, but it wasn't supposed to be.

Anyhow, I waited months for this thing, so of course I was a tad let down. But it's just a fucking movie, for crying out loud. Upon reflection, there were a ton of smart jokes, satirical barbs and Homer-isms. When it gets to the dollar theater, I'm going to see it again. And maybe even again.

And oh yeah. For the people who thought that the movie would totally suck: fuck you.

hahaha, do you write for Pitchfork by any chance?

think i will wait until the dvd comes out or its on telly.

It rules. Everyone should see it

I need to see it! Fuck!

You're an idiot.

"If you thought it'd suck, FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!" What the fuck does that even mean? "If you have a negative opinion about something and it's ability to suck, and I experience this something and it's actually good, FUCK YOU." That makes no sense. What a ridiculous, immature, stupid thing to say. See, you CAN think a movie looks shitty based on the trailer/concept, and the trailer and concept both seem shitty, so naturally one would assume it's probably going to suck. But having not seen it yet, who knows....

See, I thought it'd suck (FUCK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I'm going to see it today... I'm one of the biggest Simpsons fans around (I always win Simpsons Jeopardy!), but I think the trailer looks unfunny and silly. But I will wait and say if it actually sucks or not later...

My problem is that I can usually tell miles away how a film is by the trailer... I see the Rubber's Lover trailer, I go "okay, looks like it's going to be a boring art film with some occassional brilliant parts but no Pinnochio 964!" And I was right. And this was just a scene of a black and white nurse and a man with goggles and a rubber suit standing around for a minute. But I could tell, man!

simpsons arent that funny any more family guy owns

oh yeah and fuck U simpson lovers

I went last night. It was alright, just like a long episode really. Im more of a futurama fan though.

simpsons isnt' funny anymore. family guy isn't funny anymore. south park.. uh.. well, just to keep arguments down, let's say south park is even less funny than it used to be.. (and it never was funny to begin with.. OOPS!) uhhhh... yeah. ren and stimpy stopped being funny after a few seasons. futurama was never a comedy (i don't think; there wasn't anything funny in it, but it had lots of good episodes!).

so.. yeah, that pretty much means rocko's modern life was the best cartoon ever.

That's not a problem, man, that's what trailers exist for!

^LIKE OMG WTF^

do you not have any sense of no humur at all what so ever?

edit intednded for atsonic

Well, your poorly-spelled post made me laugh! (not to mention the apparently-unironic use of "OMG WTF LMAO"-speak; great comic timing there)

Uh.. and.. I'm PRETTY SURE (and this is rare, so brace yourself) that I'm in agreeance with almost everyone here when I say that Family Guy, etc. is NOT funny anymore. Family Guy, though, is a rare villian in that the new stuff is SO unfunny that it actually makes the OLD episodes seem unfunny as well... it's like, the new episodes expose the lameness that has secretly always been prevalent in all the Family Guy stuff. It's weird. Don't even get me fucking started on American Dad... god damn that shit's terrible.

Uh... Robot Chicken.. unfunny.. Actually, pretty much ANY Adult Swim Williams Street shows are unfunny now (old Aqua Teen, first season Sealab, Harvey Birdman, old Brak Show, were funny enough). The shows Adult Swim shows that aren't their shows are always hilarious... Shin Chan, Super Milk Chan.. that shit's GREAT!!!

Still, the funniest cartoon ever is the first season or so of Ren and Stimpy. Shit's golden. That or SAMURAI PIZZA CATS!!!!!!!

I dunno. I just find most "popular humor" unfunny. And I find most "underground humor" unfunny. I laugh more at really ridiculous shit, like in Pinnochio 964 when a camera superfastforwards as Pinnochio runs a million miles an hour and punches that bald dude in the chest and rips his heart out and the dude goes, "I CAN'T DIE.. I'M A FUCKNIG GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!" That shit's funny.

Or in Troll 2 when the guy goes, "They're eating her.. then they're going to eat me... OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!"

Or Rock N Roll Nightmare, when Thor goes, "I'll see you again... old scratch." after wrestling with a gigantic Satan puppet for 20 minutes as cock rock music plays.

Or Shredder Orpheus when the dude skateboards around, playing his super futuristic guitar.

Or Monsturd when the doctor goes, "NO! KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY SHIT MAN!"

Or most episodes of MST3K.

Or Psycho Cop 2 when the psycho cop stabs the security guard in the eye and goes, "Hey Gus.. keep an eye out for me!"
...

Honestly, I probably find MORE shit funny and I probably have more of a sense of humor than most people. I just don't think Cartman going "FART FART [BLEEP] FART FART!" in his retard voice and then proceeding to beat every joke into the ground for hours.. I don't find that funny. Nor did I find

Family Guy funny anymore...
Epidose of Family Guy:
PETER: I'M FAT AND DUMB.
LOIS: PETEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR.. WANNA HAVE SEX?
PETER: HAHA YOUR NOSE LOOKS LIKE A PENIS.
STEWEY: INSOLENCE! INCEST! INCOGNITO WITH WOUNDS! REAL REMEDIES RARELY REALIZE RABID REALITIES! RAPE!
BRIAN: THAT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK GOOD ON YOUR JOB RESUME.
STEWEY: BLIMEY! I'LL.. MURDERYOUALL. DIE LOIS.
*flashback*
CELEBRITY GUEST: HEY I'M A GUY.
PETER: REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAY HEY I'M A GUY?
*flashback to another episode where he says hey i'm a guy*
*silence for 50 seconds as nothing happens*
PETER: POOP.

Oh man. That stuff's fucking hilarious!!!!!!!!! Seriously, Family Guy is terrible. It's a bunch of stoned dudes sitting around going, "So... if Skeletor popped into a room at a random moment... and yelled 'sHOW ME THE MONEY'... would that qualify as brilliant humor... or?..."

And in all seriousness, the Family Guy movie was an embarassment and was when the whole series started going down hill.

So, I hope the Simpsons movie isn't too bad... the show has been gradually getting less funny and less funny for NINE years... but I still chuckle once or twice every 3 or 4 episodes.. so who knows.

like lolz i was right

hahaha yeh that would rock

It's common knowledge Family Guy has terrible writers. The Simpsons Movie was good. Endo story.

my amzingly awesome post can make even the coldest haerts laugh

haha, you're a good sport.

It was good, did anyone stay to hear Maggie speak?

no, i missed that.

what does maggie say?

Sequel.

i always stay till the end of the credits.. the credits are part of the movie too.. so yeah. i heard it. her first words!

anyway, it was good. very clever!

Really good movie. You should see it if you like the simpsons.

Her first word was dada.

Maybe I haven't seen enough of all the old Simpson's episodes. I pretty much started watching all this stuff when Futurama started. I always found Futurama funnier.

her first words the family heard then, smart pants.

atsonicpark:
Is that meant to be like the Shellac album At Action Park? If so, sly ;)

epa.

Same.
The Simpsons movie had some funny parts but I kinda expected more.

my favorite scene at the end of the movie when Otto was sitting there with a bong and says, "What's going on ?"

i avoided everything i could before watching the movie, most longer trailers, reviews, etc. i expected it to be like a really long episode and well, it was so much stuff than that.

more than anything, i loved it because it made me laugh for one thing or another pretty much the whole time of the movie. it was a classic simpsons thing.

had it been longer/more complex with more stories/characters involved (which i think is my only criticism, except i'm glad they kept it simple), the movie might have gone a tad more pretentious and way less interesting; this way, i want to see it again.

as a simpsons fan, i have to say i really loved it.

i can;t wait until next year, though...futurama's next season/movies will be aired.

You're the biggest message board loser I've ever come across.

i try to avoid trailers, reviews or synopsis of movies. most of all, i try to go into every movie with no high expectations, basically not knowing what the movie's going to be about.

in every case that i can remember, every single movie that i've anticipated and new the storyline before has always ended up not meeting expectations.

i think it will be good.

btw, doesn't the simpsons make fun of family guy for ripping them off?

I'm pretty sure that a Futurama movie is being released on DVD this November.

You are correct, sir.

they are doing like 3 or four movies and chop them into 3 or 4 episodes each, but yeah, good news the first one is coming in nov.

sorry but, ever since i saw like the first 4 or 5 episodes, i've prefered futurama over the simpsons, except for seasons 4 or 5 thru 8 or 9 of the simpsons, those are tied.

"Hi, my name is Jonathan, I don't appreciate humor or criticism, in fact I think the only reason I don't like atsonicpark's post on this board is because I have no idea what he's talking about and is, thus, WRONG. He insulted my all-time favorite show FAMILY GUY, and while his points are extremely valid and he made them all perfectly clear, I still declare him a 'message board loser' because I, myself, am a loser at life, and I want to feel better than someone on a virtual bulletin board, someone who obviously goes great lengths to prove his indisputable point that my taste in everything is fucking terrible. 14/m/LA/gay/lover of classic comedies like South Park season 11 (that's the one where Cartman shows his wing-wong AND says 'fart, duuuuuuuuude!'), Family Guy seasons 4, 5, and the film (I just love the part where Stewey stares at a wall for 27 minutes), and American Dad (all my friends say this show is the worst thing in the history of television, so I just reply in my best American Dad voice, 'Fran, go to hell.'). Looking for fellow lovers of shitty comedy; Will Ferrel please apply."

The Simpsons movie is pespicable, bespicable, fespicable, despicable.

I finaly saw it last weekend i was suprized It was preety good

Ned Flanders: Thank you, Lord, for this bountiful…

Ned Flanders: PENIS!
Flanders' kids: [devoutly] Thank you, Lord, for this bountiful penis.
