TRAILERS
PLOT OUTLINE
The family vacations in Alaska, where Homer partakes in a dog-sledding race. When they come back to Springfield, Professor Frink invents a device that removes peoples clothes and he tests it on bart (That's why bart is skateboarding naked in that one part) The clothes removing device takes up so much power that Mr. Burns decides to cut off the towns supply of power. Fearing for Barts soul, Ned Flanders decides to take him in but The Simpsons don't know that so they replace him with a pig. Bart is mad so he decides to steal the pig during church. Trying to woo back Bart, Homer buys a motorcycle but the motorcycle belongs to the president and all these government helicopters start tracking down the Simpsons. Also Mayor Quimby constructs a huge wall to keep out mexicans. God talks to the simpsons and He tells Homer to fill a silo full of pig crap and homer dumps it in the water. Actually God told him to build an ark but he misheard him. When the town finds out they hang homer. Lisa gets a boyfriend.

REVIEWS
Hey rubbercat.net/simpsons! "TarantinoFan#1" here with an exclusive f****** review of The Simpson Movie!
Iwas lucky enough to see it at the Portland test screening. Alright, first things first: is it funny? You bet your sweet a** it's funny! The whole f***ing theater was rolling in the g*d*** aisles from laughing tomuch!
Anyway they made us sign this big ol contract forbidding us from talking about the plot... so I cant say anything specific, f***** pigs. But let me tell, it's f***** awesome times ten. F*** that, times eleven. It's that epic.
Yeah, that Newsweek article is true - you do get to see Bart's d***. The whole f***** audience gasped at that that part, buncha f****** p******. I wouldn't have minded seeing a little bit more of Marge though, if you know what I mean. Please don't post that last part on your website
Maybe its because im still pumped from grindhouse and 300, but i thought the itchy and scratchy cartoon wasnt as violent as it could have been. I want some f****** gore, dawg!
My only complaint is that that lisa b**** got way too much screentime! I want more Homer, and more violence! I hope the Simpson people read my comment card. Anyways, peace out
Hey what's up rubbercat.net/simpsons. "Random Task" here with a review of the upcoming "Simpsons" movie. I can sum up the movie in three words: lame, lame lame. Now, now, I know what you're thinking. But hear me out.
First of all, it basically felt like 3 episodes stitched together. Which by itself isn't a bad thing, but movies are supposed to have flow. After an excruciatingly long first act that rehashes all the usual family antics, Stewie finds a man on TV that bears such a resemblance to his own uniquely football-shaped head that it spawns the hope that the mystery man, and not the dimwit Peter (also voiced by McFarlane), may be his actual father. He embarks on a cross-country journey with family dog, Brian (McFarlane) and local letch, Quagmire (McFarlane), to find him. This second act is the most on-target with humor. The jokes come fast and furiously out of the part of McFarlane's brain that comes up with the most random associations and bizarre situations one could imagine. Once they catch up with the mystery man, there is a fun twist as to his relation to Stewie, but the proceedings slow down again until the frantic last few minutes.
The finale includes a direct tribute to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", which is fun, but as it stretches on, it simultaneously shows that they are having a difficult time keeping enough material to call it a "movie" release. The style of humor is consistent with any episode, and it seems that McFarlane is still the driving force behind the show. However, this kind of humor works best in rapid-fire or hit-and-run doses, and here everything is dragged out, like a telescoped punch. This feels like a single episode overextended, and one can almost imagine the studio execs looking over the writers' shoulders and saying, "Make it 90 minutes! More! Longer! More! Longer! More!" Of course, that's just speculation.
Final score: 4 out of 10
