THE SIMPSONS MOVIE.

You should go see The Simpsons Movie. Why? When have I ever given you bad direction? I mean, really. I saw the first showing at The Rotunda Cinemateque Friday at noon with my brother and the Mrs. and then saw it again that evening. It was worth seeing twice. Few people, if any, are giving our spoilers. I won’t, either. I’d have sworn vengeance on anyone that did that before I saw it. Honestly. “The Simpsons” is really the only reason we have a TV at all. We could watch movies and download the few shows we watch on the computer. If you see this film, you’ll enjoy:

Amazing animation. Aside from using the techniques from “Futurama”, the color is fantastic. “The Simpsons” on TV looks like crap now. But we watch it for the writing, not the colors, no?

Cartoon nudity. And who doesn’t like that?

One drop of the GD word/phrase that they never do in TV.

Drugs.

Illustration of how…ignorant we are.

Poop.

Seriously, it’s like an 87 minute episode of the show. And I mean that in a good way. I thought the “South Park” film was funny but very different than the show. The Simpsons Movie was not unlike the show in any ways that would have made it, well, suck. (Dang it’s hard to talk about without giving anything away.) If, for some reason, you don’t trust anything with “The Simpsons” on it, then trust me.

I’m very credible.
