The Simpson's Movie Confirmed
bagsc writes "BBC News reports Twentieth Centruy Fox confirms The Simpsons are going to the movies! Should hit theatres in 2007." From the article: "A 25-second trailer for the film has been shown to US audiences at screenings of Ice Age: The Meltdown, promising to introduce 'the greatest hero in American history'. It then cut to Homer Simpson, wearing only his underwear, who admitted: 'I forgot what I was supposed to say.'"

Get off your high-horse and just deal with the fact that "gay" has been accepted, by a large part of the population, as a synonym for "uncool" or "lame". While it's roots are homophobic it's time to get past that. Consider that the word "slave" has racist origins (and no, in it's not related to African-Americans in anyway) and yet no one puts up a fuss. Besides, I know numerous people in the GLBTG community who use "gay" in this sense.
After all, if gay can go from meaning "happy" to "homosexual", why can't it go from "homosexual" to "lame"? This is like a PC-nightmare all over again. As someone who thinks political correctness matters, it disgusts me when people fight the wrong battles.
Your CPU is not doing anything else, at least do something.
BCC reporting this?? It's a little odd that a major news source is only now releasing this. I saw the add for this movie over a week ago... Ad oddly enough they do have a slightly resemblence to the real Simpon's - well, I don't feel that marge does, but you couldn't get her that kind of hair-do, as the realistic part would have gone straight out the window. Has anyone else seen this preview before these news releases? Make you wonder if the news release is actually a follow-up for a mis-air preview (that was not suppose to air) and decide to confirm it so that it doesn't look like a mistake?
Never try to beat a professional at his own game!
Is this an April Fools? I mean the 25 sec clip could easily mean last week's opening sequence where they had British actors perform the opening sequence to Simpsons and somehow BBC took the bait? or maybe we're taking the bait...
You can watch the clip here (though the clip is ~1 min long; not the 25secs they mentioned):
