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."

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 ;)

No Simpsons Topic? by nearlygod · 2004-02-12 03:10 · Score: 5, Funny

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

Lets not forget the "The Simpsons were funnier when I watched them" and "I hope they use the earlier writers when the Simpsons were funnier"

Alas, I am too late.

FWIW, I think the Simpsons get funnier and funnier the older they get :-P

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? :)

ironically, UPN aired that episode last night

Alanis Morissette and yourself, share a problem with the definition of irony.

Mere coincidence is NOT irony.
