Simpsons on the Silver Screen

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.

    And god knows we all still miss 'My Little Pony' - the icon of both entertainment and education... a beacon in our miserable little lives.

    Wait, no.. I'm thinking of 'Care Bears'. Oh, the humanity.

    ...mmmm okay.

    We came here to make a movie. A simple movie.. a movie about a radioactive man. But you slick small town folk ruined it! We're going back to Hollywood, where people are still good to each other.

    Homer: The important thing is.. it's got the perfect part for you.. either one of you. It's about a killer robot driving instructor, who travels back in time for some reason. Ron Howard's attatched to direct!
    Ron: I am not!
    Homer: Well. He expressed an interest.
    Ron: No I didn't!
    Homer: Did too!
    Ron: I did not!
    Homer: You lie!
    Alec: Yeah, Homer, most movie scripts are 120 pages. This has only seventeen. And several pages just have drawings of the time machine.

    Homer: I'll handle this... the only danger in space is if we land on that terrible Planet of the Apes... wait a minute... Statue of Liberty... THAT WAS OUR PLANET! YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

    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.)

    Very few animated movies are shown live, due to the tremendous strain on the animator's wrists.
