It's enjoyable. Not as good as classic Simpsons but better than zombie Simpsons.

I've seen the movie twice and still have only a vague recollection of it. I haven't been able to sit through it anymore than that. There's a few genuinely good moments I suppose but most of it is super forced and has all the staples of zombie Simpsons humor. I would go as far as to say that current episodes are better than the movie, though that isn't saying much.

I only saw it once and thought it was kinda awkward. Why did they have to show Bart’s dick. I also remember one of the jokes being “lol wouldn’t it be funny if Arnold Schwarzenegger was President so wacky”.

I sure am glad freedom from television standards allowed them to give us what we'd been clamoring for since day one: Bart Simpson's underage dick.

I remember hearing that McBain was going to be the president and Scorpio was going to be... whoever the villain was? I can't remember anything about that movie except, yeah, nude Bart. Apparently they dropped Scorpio because he was too likeable to work as the villain. And I guess they succeeded in finding someone who had no charisma at all.

Literally all I remember about it is the trailers which ran the "spider-pig" joke into the ground before the movie was even in theaters

Movie was good but it’s kinda amazing how little interest I would have in revisiting it. The humor was closer to the modern shows but tighter and clearly more well scripted. I just really wish that the show ended there. It wouldn’t have been the greatest exit but they could say they walked away “on top” with a huge movie event. Now it’s just so sad

The naked skateboard gag was pretty funny, I thought, since they did the whole "convenient censoring" trope and then inverted it at the end. I don't think anyone expected to see Bart's doodle. Spider-Pig was annoying.

The simpsons movie sucked badly and was no better than the contemporary episodes of the time (2006?)

I saw it on the opening weekend and the rock/hard place and spider pig jokes got by far the biggest laughs, which made me sad. The movie was alright but it's not a must see or anything.

I had a great time watching that movie in a packed theater at midnight opening night and I never need to see it again. Not that memorable itself but was a great time in the theater. Much like the Aqua Teen movie, although I like that movie more.

Iron Crowned posted:I Redbox'd the movie, worst $.99 I ever spent A DVD copy of the movie appeared at my house at some point, and none of my family members could confirm where it came from. After a few months I finally watched it one night when I was bored. I think it ended up getting sold to Half Price Books a few years later, along with a bunch of other movies and books. Somehow I feel that's the ideal Simpsons Movie experience.

I fell asleep during the part where they leave Springfield and woke up when Homer was taking the motorcycle around the dome or whatever. I remember seeing a 10-year old animated boy’s penis and feeling really weird about why it needed to be in the movie. I remember I liked seeing Green Day die but hated everything else about them being in the movie, including that they were even in the movie at all. So in essence it was the best thing they’ve done since season 11.

Frank Scorpio earnestly loved Homer so I don't think he would have been a good villain for the movie, as nice as it would have been to see him again. So it was a good change. The EPA being a villain is pretty bad tho.

This is a troubling thought, but Mr. Skinner pretended to be Mrs. Skinner's biological son. And he had a dream about her working in a whorehouse. A dream that was important enough to get a call-back in the game Simpsons Tapped Out. WTF is going on with the Skinners?

The bit with Marge's video message to Homer, and Flanders bonding with Bart, I thought were nice moments. Some of the wacky stuff with random springfield people dealing with the dome was funny. There were some really bad jokes: Dome Depot, the Walrus GTA parody, Spider Pig. Lisa's boyfriend was a complete waste of time. The random "boob lady" who shows up out of nowhere and is never seen again was pretty stupid and probably racist. Homer was acting like more of a stupid rear end in a top hat than usual, his whole turning point was learning that other people matter besides him, which makes him like a psychopath rather than a guy who's kind of a bumbling doofus who means well.

I literally can't remember anything about the Simpsons movie except Spider-Pig. I didn't even dislike the movie. I wasn't even on drugs, it wasn't bad enough to piss me off or good enough to remember. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie has the best starting three minutes of any movie ever made, but unless you start doing bong rips when the theme song starts playing, you're not going to have a good time for the rest (I've watched it at least five times.)

The only thing I remember from the movie is the villain having the a line that exemplifies my main beef with zombie Simpsons writing. "Of course I've gone mad with power! Have you ever tried going mad without power?" which would have been kind of funny on its own, but was immediately followed by the unnecessary "It's boring! No one listens to ya!"

Yeah, most of them were inside of McDonald's, which I would walk the half mile to because I was broke at the time and didn't want to waste gas to grab a movie. On the way home I'd snag a 40oz at the liquor store, and sneak through the break in the fence at the neighboring apartment complex because it was a short cut.

This is honestly the worst sin the post-Golden Years Simpsons makes - the over-explaining of a joke, coupled with letting it go on too long. Family Guy started the downward trend by pandering to the lowest common denominator, a demographic that GY Simpsons openly mocked and avoided. They would let a joke sit when it needed to, but never lingered. Sign gags flew by pretty quickly, and they demanded the viewer was sharp and paid attention. Nowadays everything has to be on screen for 10 seconds longer than it needs to, making the “joke” even less funny. They assume the viewer won’t understand unless it’s spoon-fed to them. Family Guy pounds everything into the ground until any semblance of humor is stripped away - in 1996, the Simpsons would have mocked the hell out of that trend. Now they just embrace it because it’s lazy and easy to do. That “rock and a hard place” joke in the movie is a perfect worst example. It goes on and on to the point where it’s just stupid. There’s a million different ways to make that scene work and make it funny, and most of them involve a 5 second run time. Any classic Simpsons fan in the theater that laughed at that should have been ashamed of themselves.
