    Simpsons movie trailer...

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/th...movie/trailer/

    When I first heard about it, I did't really think it would work - what with 1,000,000 episodes already out there - but now I sort of fancy it
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I haven't laughed at The Simpson's that much in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages.

    That trailer, all 90 seconds of it, was 100% funnier than Simpson's season 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 put together - 16 through 18 have been particularly, hideously bad I'm sad to say.

    If this movie was 1) actually damn funny like The Simpson's used to be, and 2) the finale of The Simpson's overall - then that'd be just fine, go out with a bang, rather than limping on like they're doing right now.

    They should end it with the movie and bring back Futurama and devote all their energy to that, and *gasp*, perhaps a new show?!

    I don't know who the hell is writing/producing the current spate of episodes on the show, but do they not realise they're producing something painfully unfunny? Are they all snorting some new fangled drug the normal people don't have, because every week I watch one of the new episodes I just sit there groaning with a distinctly unsmiling face, not even a courtesy chuckle.

    Fingers crossed this movie is actually funny, the trailer certainly makes it look rather entertaining, like I said, haven't laughed like that at The Simpson's in quite some time.

    man i used to love the simpsons but the last five years of the show have just sucked balls, for instance just t'uther day i saw a "new" episode were bart was suspended from school AGAIN and sent off to some kind of camp or somethign AGAIN and homer did something stupid to screw it all up.

    i loiked the simpsons back when it was kinda like king of the hill in the early seasons, its wasnt quite reality but it still was about real stuff, like homer had no money to get his kids presents for christmas or something, now its more abusrd than a south park episode, including the crab people.

    i just think they should, like mz said, bring back futurama for a start, since who didnt love that show and work on something new, jesus even freinds new when to quit.

    cept mat leblanc but thats beside the point

    I personally dont think The Simpsons has died down or dropped standards at all. Im not a fan of how they get the a stpryline now. It take about 7 mins of the episode to find out what the storyline will be.

    But this film will be almost as good as Borat or Anchorman in my opinion, cant wait for next yera. All these releases!!

    There wasn't much in that trailer. Just some slapstick gag. Its when they satrt talking that it gets lame.
    Season 7 was the best, when Conan O'Brian was writing most of it.. Around 10 it just got boring and repititious. Using wierdness instead of smart thought out jokes. If they need a joke just make homer say something that barely makes sence.
    Hard to believe its been on 18 years. And I could care less about this movie. It's 10 years too late.
    And Futurama is coming back. They didn't quit, they got cancelled.

    I have a teaser trailer saved on my XBOX 360. I will check it out when it hits theaters. They need to bring back Futurama.

    Comedy Central has already ordered new episodes of Futurama to air in 2008. Details unclear at this point but it appears 4 direct to dvd Futurama movies will be created, then split into either 13 or 16 episodes for TV broadcast.

Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    Just watched Simpson's episode 18x05 ... *sigh* ... oh dear oh dear oh dear ... talk about piss poor. If I want politics, I'll watch the news, I don't want typically Hollywood "I know everything" schmolotics from the writers of The Simpson's. It was just hideous from start to finish. At least American Dad takes the piss out of politics...(comparing AD nowadays to TS nowadays).

    I haven't seen a "new" episode of the Simpsons in probably around 5 years, so I don't know how I feel about what they've been producing.

    But that trailer wasn't too bad.

    I laughed. Stuck between a rock and a hard place... clever!

    Oh man, I'm really so super fantastically psyched up for this! I don't think.
