Now This I've GOTTA See!

Jul 25, 2007 20:46

I've been hearing about this thing for years, and it's hard to believe it, but it's almost here. Tomorrow night I will be going to a midnight showing of The Simpsons movie, and things will never be the same again.

Do you think this will do well at all? No one I know wants to see it and we've all been bemused by the intense marketing to make it seem like the movie of the year.

Earlier this year, I tried to warm back up to the Simpsons. Not the new episodes, seasons 6,8, and 8. and I liked them at first, but eventually they pissed me off. So oh well.

I actually kind of hope it is a disappointment (although I don't hope it bombs). That would be a HUGE blow for Fox and Fox News might take a hit for it and have to cut back a bit. The thing is I can't see that they spent a huge amount of money for this (if they did they are idiots) so even if it only does modestly well they'll still make back their investments especially through merchandise.

And people I know are interested in the movie but that's probably because all of the people I talk to about it are old farts like me. :P

If the 7-11 cross-promotion is any indication, it should make some good money. Why did those older seasons eventually piss you off?

Lisa Simpson, and writers commentary. Look, I consider myself a liberal, (or, atleast on the most liberal-side of moderate as possible without going whole hog,) but the attitude from her and the writers.

Look. I can understand them having major bones to pick about Christianity. I do too with the church. But occasionally, they would go towards "only morons or bad people would be Christians" and I finally got tired of that.

And I really don't want to get into the Chritianity debate again. I've made my stance clear on that before.

I'm probably going to skip opening weekend to avoid crowds but I will be seeing it soon. I'm seeing Ratatouille today in the meantime. Yay! :)

Crowds can be annoying, but I'll be eager to hear what you thought about it.

I would've tried for a morning/afternoon thing, but since I'm going away tomorrow, it's really the only time I'll get to see it this weekend.
