The Simpsons Movie!

[SinisterPryde]

So they're making a Simpsons movie... They are going to need to do something realy special to avoid making it seem like an extended episode of the show.

I saw the promo last night during the show. Sad part, that's the only thing I really remember about the show. Oh yeah, something about Grandpa, assisted suicide and bull fighting.

Anyways, I am cautiously pessomistic about this. Really, Simpsons hasn't been funny or relevant in about 5 or 6 seasons, and a 100m long episode would be painful. However, it could turn out to be a classic.

Guess we will see in a year.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this. Maybe this'll keep interest up for the movie!

'The Simpsons' Wins Ninth Animated Emmy

Animated comedy hit The Simpsons won the best animated program at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday - the ninth time it has been awarded the prize. An episode of the show, entitled "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story," beat a controversial episode of South Park, in which The Church Of Scientology and follower Tom Cruise were mocked. Simpsons producer Al Jean said in his acceptance speech, "This is what happens when you don't mock Scientology." Other winners at the ceremony, which celebrates technical achievement in television, included UK/US-made drama Elizabeth I, which scooped five prizes, US Army documentary Baghdad ER, and Rome, which took home four awards each. The Creative Arts Emmys precedes the main Emmys, which will take place in Los Angeles next week, hosted by Conan O'Brien.

Way to go Simpsons!

I think that there have been a nice number of funny, relevant Simpsons episodes the last few years. But to be honest they would have been better off coming out with this movie in the mid-to-late 90's. I wouldn't say that the Simpsons aren't popular anymore, but they are not as well-liked as they were back then IMO. Anyway, I'm hoping for a classic. :)

Told a coworker of mine about this movie a while back and he said, "that's great! Now all they need to do is invent a time machine and take it back to 1998 when I really cared."

I have been a fan of The Simpsons since I was a kid, I really wish they would do a movie.
