Slashdot Mirror
The Simpsons Movie
girish writes "Eonline is reporting that, finally, after more than 10 years since Matt Groening said that a Simpsons film 'is way down the line', a movie based on The Simpsons is being made. It's still in its early stages and is being planned to be debuted in the summer or during Christmas time of 2006. The Simpsons has been on FOX for 15 seasons and averages 12.9 million viewers this season."
Will there be any shark-jumping?

According to Reiss, Fox has wanted to do a Simpsons movie since President Bush (news - web sites)'s father was President Bush.

Now, if they only get this quote in the movie somehow

I think I speak for many when I do bad homer impression and say:
WOO HOO!
Worst.... movie.... ever

It is a great unjustice that we have Star Wars and LotR topics but no Simpsons topic. That is unpossible.

I wonder who's gonna play him. That's a difficult one. ;-)
I hear that the "Sea Captain" has rated the move "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"!

Unfortunately I'm being punished and won't ever be allowed to see the movie. At least not until I'm a supreme court judge.

Simpson's, they ought to do a timeless piece. One that mocks politics, elections, science
Can't be done, religion and science are to remain one hundred yards away from each other at all times...
You can't take the sky from me...
I hope and pray that someone realizes the potential of the DVD of the movie.
I want them to shoot video of all of the actors doing the voices, and have a "commentary track" on the DVD, where you get to see a picture-in-picture window with the actors doing the voices.
Plus, I hope they swear like crazy. =)
Education is the silver bullet.

Still on the web years after the in-episode joke.
Damn you really wreaked havoc on the simpsons web by linking all those. Sometimes Slashdot feels to me like a satanic pokemon - "Gotta crash 'em all."
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
"Yeah, Moe, that movie sure did suck last night. It just plain sucked! I've seen movies suck before, but those writers were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked."
Well, it's already been done. In epsiode DABF22 ("How I Spent My Strummer Vacation") the "couch gag" was Homer waterskiing and jumping over a shark.

You are the real life comic book guy, aren't you?
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
havent you seen that southpark episode "simpsons already did it"?
simpsons is airing for 13 years, they already did everything!
when he went to Alt.Nerd.Obsessive.
I think a Simpsons movie will imbiggen all of society.

Dude, he doesn't have time for that crap now - he was elected governor of California.
That Conan, slayer, destroyer, king, theif, script writer. What a guy
This is one of those shows I wish they'd take off the air for its' own good.
That's exactly how I feel about Friends too. The first four seasons were briliant, and maybe the fifth was okay too, but then starting at season six they just repeated the same jokes over and over again and turned the characters into stereotypes. At first they were themselves - a thing that characterizes a good show in my opinion.

Right. Like, the opening credits for Enterprise is such a moment.
"It is our blasphemy which has made us great, and will sustain us, and which the gods secretly admire in us." - Zelazny
Now, I have no idea what the plot of the Simpsons movie is going to be, but I am fairly certain that the second half of the movie with have nothing to do with the first half. :)
Why would they do that? There is no Bender in Simpsons.
I thought it was agreed that Slashdot was a gathering point for CBG types.
Don't get all Nelson on us about it.

Are you kidding? Well, I guess we each have our own tastes, but I loved that episode! Some of my fav lines:
Gibson: You want me to replace the villain with a dog? I mean nobody will know what's going on.
Homer: They will if you set up that the dog is evil. All you do is have to show him doing this. [lowers eyelids and glances around in shifty-eyed fashion] The people will suspect the dog.
Homer: (from the press gallery) I second that motion. (holds up a rifle) With a vengeance! (tosses rifle to Gibson) (Catching the rifle, Gibson jumps up on a table and quips, "All in favor, say die."
Homer: "It's funny if you make everything fast-motion!" [cue opening movie in 3x speed, with 3x voices]
Robin [Burt Ward, to Adam West]: Shutup! We're not supposed to talk!
Executive #1: Oh my G-d! He's a Dummy!
Executive #2: Yeah, but he sells tickets!
(Test driving the electric car:) Homer: Salt water seems to be good for it. (The car blows up.)

Did anyone else see that movie Tron?

I bet 'TiVo' picks up and records lots of other crap that you watch that isn't anywhere near as good as the Post-1997 episodes you are boycotting.
But at least you get to feel ideologically pure for all your zeal. That matters for something, in the long run. I guess.

Thank you I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
ironically, UPN aired that episode last night
Alanis Morissette and yourself, share a problem with the definition of irony.
Mere coincidence is NOT irony.
American, are you?

Yeah, well Alanis is Canadian.
Perhaps you meant to bag on the citizens of the entire North American continent, rather than just one of it's nations?
