Simpsons on the Silver Screen

Posted by timothy on Wednesday October 2, 2002 @10:45AM from the it-will-be-funny-you-will-laugh dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks like Matt Groening is going to actually go through with it. This article says that the cast of the Simpsons has signed on for at least 3 feature films. Hooray!" I hope they call them Episodes 4, 5 and 6.

They are:

1. "Woohoo!"
3. Some more obscure quote from the show;
2. Diatribe about the show's declining quality in recent seasons; or
4. "Worst movie ever."

Take your pick. (Of course, if anybody can figure out a Beowulf cluster joke to shoehorn into the topic at hand, I'm willing to add a #5.)
