7-11s To Become Kwik-E-Marts
SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER
posted 22 March 2007 source richmond times-dispatchIf all goes as planned, the convenience store chain plans to refit 11 stores across the U.S. -- Richmond is an unlikely choice -- to resemble the front of the Kwik-E-Mart, the convenience store that Homer and other characters frequent in the classic cartoon TV series.
Customers also will be able to buy products inspired by the nearly two-decades-old show, including KrustyO's cereal, Buzz Cola and iced Squishees (the cup says Squishee, but the contents will be Slurpee).Best quote: Spokeswoman Margaret Chabris said contracts on the promotions have not been signed with movie studios. She didn't give any further details, saying the company will release more information in coming weeks.
"We've done research, and research shows us that our customers like . . . movies, so we're getting involved with some major studios on some of their properties this summer," she said.Labels: SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER

Things Learned From The Paley Television Festival
TIDBITS
posted 18 March 2007 source zap 2 it- Jon Bon Jovi was going to guest star, but he backed out because "the writers had his character covered with melted cheese at one point and insult Richie Sambora at another point in the script."
- The Beatles don't like talking about The Beatles.
- Matt Groening authorized a Bart Simpson asthma inhaler.
- Executive Producer Tim Long: "America doesn't love Gil." So why would you base an entire episode around him?

McFarlane Manufactured Movie Merchandise
SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER
posted 10 March 2007 source joblowSome Simpsons Movie-related toys that are coming up are raising more questions than answers.
Not a huge surprise, as McFarlane Toys is best known for coming out with the best-looking action figures out there, so the announcement that they have been tapped to support the release of THE SIMPSONS MOVIE on July 27th, with a line of intricately detailed action figures, was good news all around. The characters will feature incredible character detail (see below), but also a voice-chip technology, which will allow them to "speak" exclusive dialog from the film. Each figure comes mounted to a customized base, and, as an added feature, the "Movie Mayhem" line of figures come with interlocking bases so the figures can be combined to create one large scene. The line will include a 6-inch figure line and three boxed sets.
There's a boxed set entitled "What you lookin' at?! Bart, Ned Flanders and Top-Secret Character (??????)" and two special sets, one featuring Itchy & Scratchy and the other entitled "Doodle Double Dare" (?????????????). Click here for a picture of a pig. Labels: SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER

Who Cares About The Movie, It's Time To Start Anticipating The DVD!
SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER
posted 29 January 2006 source empire magazine and lbiu of nohomers.netGroening: "The scripts [sic.] evolved incredibly. Characters have come and gone, story twists have changed, huge sequences have been storyboarded and then deleted. One of our favourite new characters is totally out, just to streamline the story. Nothing's sacred. As good as the film is going to be, the DVD, with all our deleted scenes, is going to be a hell of a bonus package."Labels: SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER

You Can Get A Cell Phone With The Simpsons Movie Logo Slapped On It
SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER
posted 10 January 2007 source the inquirerNot to be outdone by TVs that look like Spongebob, Samsung has made some cell phones with The Simpsons Movie logo plastered on them, probably also with some annoying Simpsons ringtones. According to the reporter, "if done right, these have the potential to be the geek phone of the year." He probably should have waited a day before making such a pronouncement.Labels: SPRINGFIELD SHOPPER
