The Simpsons Movie
« on: July 27, 2007, 06:54:21 pm »
I'm going to see it tonight.  I'm pretty excited about it.  More than I thought I would be.

Also, come hell or high water, I'm gonna get me a Simpsons popcorn tub.

I really want to go see it. But I can't think of anyone that would go with me.

I am pretty close, at this point, to going by myself.

I'm away at my parents right now, and the SO will be at her sister's next week, so I can't see it until like mid-August. Hell of lame.

I saw it at a midnight showing. It was pretty good.

Damn dude. I want to go see it. But I haven't been to the movies in years. I've never gone to the movies with my wife, and if I go to a movie without her - especially with a near-stranger from "that Achewood board you read," I'd have to move into your room when you go back to STL because I'd get kicked out.

I'd offer to go as a group, but her aunt died this morning and she'll be going out of town for a few days. If you haven't rectified the situation when she gets back, we may need to talk.

My wife is seeing it with a friend of ours. I wish I was home.

It was great.  Totally worth it.  There were even a few moments where I welled up a bit.  The laughs were consistent and they took advantage of the big screen quite well.  I'll talk about the details once more of you have seen it, so as to not spoil it.  I highly recommend it.

golfhaus-- that would have been intense. Instead, though, I went to the movie theater at Stonecrest and saw it with my little sister. she really liked it. I also really liked it.

Everyone in the theater basically laughed through the whole movie, so I'd say it was a success.

I know this movie will be a complete rape, but I think I don't have a choice to avoid seeing it.

I think I have seen every Simpson's episode at least once.  That is a lot of time that I have invested into the series; it is probably worth my time to see it on the big screen instead of just waiting to inconsequentially see it for free.  But man, do the trailers look awful.

But that's it, now.  Now that the movie has finally been released, I think it's safe to say the Simpsons are officially dead.  I can't imagine the series going on much longer, maybe a season, possibly two.

The movie is ill timed in my opinion... by that I mean releasing a feature film about a cartoon that everyone stopped watching 3-5 years ago. But like the rest of you, I have to see it, but I'll opt for watching the bootleg online if my SO isn't up to going out tonight.

I initially parsed that as the deceased aunt was going out of town.  I was wondering if taxidermy was involved.

I saw it last week.  As a film it sucked, of course, but it was funny as shit, so that makes up for it.

It's no South Park movie, but I was entertained throughout the length of the film.

Well, it was to compensate for the rape of the land, though. Context, man.
