I was really worried this movie was going to blow, but watching "Spider Pig", I'm sold.Antoine Doinel wrote:New trailer. And I have to say this is actually the first time I'm kinda looking forward to the movie. Lots of good jokes in this one.

That line pretty much sold me a ticket.tryavna wrote:though the "this book doesn't have any answers" line was decent.
I feel the exact same way.domino harvey wrote:The prospect of seeing 90 minutes of the Simpsons with a large crowd all laughing along is too appealing not to seek this out in the theatre.
I have to say my ticket was already sold the day I heard the film was under production.Antoine Doinel wrote:That line pretty much sold me a ticket.tryavna wrote:though the "this book doesn't have any answers" line was decent.
It's pretty cool. They did 11 of these. I live a just a few blocks away from this one. Here is an article about the promotion from The Denver Post.The Invunche wrote:7-Eleven => Kwik-E-Mart
It reminds me of the time during the 4th season when the new German owners of the power plant said, "You might say we come from the land of chocolate," at which point Homer goes into some chocolate fantasy and completely forgets the meeting he's in."Wow, chocolate. HALF OFF!"jbeall wrote:Saw the new trailer at Transformers, and "Spider-Pig" sold me, too.
What in the hell ever goes on in Homer's mind?
From SoundtrackNet:Antoine Doinel wrote:Here is a preview of Hans Zimmer's take on the Simpsons's theme song for the film.
I look very forward to hearing how Zimmer weaves in and thematically develops Elfman's theme for this score.Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer, Twentieth Century Fox, Gracie Films, and Extreme Music are proud to announce the CD release of Zimmer's original music for The Simpsons Movie. The album features Zimmer's interpretation of the classic theme music from the popular TV series, along with music from his score that captures the fun and satirical spirit of the movie, such as Homer's desire to spend more time with a pig than his own son Bart. Also included on the album is a special remix that will soon be heard nationwide on commercial radio and in clubs, featuring The Simpsons music as you've never heard it before.
The Simpsons Movie brings Homer's stupidity to the big screen in a plot where he must save the world from a catastrophe of his own making. Zimmer had the challenge of taking the familiar musical world of The Simpsons and reworking it for Homer's Hollywood high jinks, and although he has scored many animated films in the past, such as Disney's The Lion King and Dreamworks Animation's Madagascar, The Simpsons Movie posed a unique challenge. "It's such an iconic part of today's culture," says Zimmer. "And I had to try and express the style of The Simpsons without wearing the audience out with too much attitude!"
"Aside from composing, Hans always brings a notion of comradery in filmmaking," says Simpsons Movie writer/producer James L. Brooks. "It sure beats everyone pretending to be a hotshot." Zimmer and Brooks have been friends for many years, with Zimmer providing the score to many of Brooks previous movies, including As Good As It Gets.
In addition to releasing the album in a standard jewel case, there will be a second release featuring special Limited Edition packaging. "We wanted to have some fun," laughs Zimmer "and really try to do something that would appeal to the fans and be hard to miss in the record store." The Limited Edition serves the CD in a Homer-approved bright pink donut case, complete with multicolored sprinkles, which is supplied in a classic bakery take-out box.
The soundtrack will be released on July 24th in a traditional jewel case, a few days before The Simpsons Movie goes on general release in theatres worldwide, and with special Limited Edition packaging on July 31st. Both releases are now available for immediate preorder from Amazon.com and The Simpsons' Online Store (www.thesimpsonsshop.com), and will be distributed nationally by ADA and internationally through Warner Music Group.

O'Brien only wrote four out of more than 400 episodes. While his "Marge versus the Monorail" is one of my favorites, I'm confident that the writing team they've assembled will deliver the goods.Antoine Doinel wrote:I can't find a link to it online, but Entertainment Weekly has an interview with Conan O'Brien in which he essentially says his requests to join the writing team for the film were ignored.

That would be nice. Sadly, the goods they've been trying to deliver via the TV show have been lost in transit for a good nine years or so.Jeff wrote:I'm confident that the writing team they've assembled will deliver the goods.
If you're looking for character consistency in line with a certain expectation of realism then you're bound to be disappointed.tryavna wrote: Not only doesn't it make much sense, it's completely out of character for Todd. At what point in the series have we ever seen Rod and Todd express anything but a slightly/politely disguised fear towards Homer's antics?
While O'Brien may be only credited with four episodes, for the duration of his time with the show his ideas in any show he produced. Just a casual listen to any commentary for episodes during those years and not only will you get an endless stream of O'Brien love but how much he contributed in the writers room. There is a reason the shows he was involved with are so highly coveted by fans of the show.Jeff wrote:O'Brien only wrote four out of more than 400 episodes.
