I laughed at this part:

"when you take over a show like The Simpsons, your main goal is to not wreck it"

Just saw the movie...what can I say other then WOOHOO!!

Hilarious from start to finish and really the best thing The Simpsons has done in a loooooong time.
I saw it with a great audience as well, all of them seemed to love every bit of it.
As Vi said, great score as well with a catchy alternate Simpsons tune.

Yeah, biggest opening for an animated feature here in Belgium as well.

They we're showing it simultaneously on 4 (2 of them we're digital) of the 12 screens featured in my local movietheater complex.
So that alone is quite big.

Hopefully tonight, but might go for Transformers, so if not then Wednesday.

This is my 100th post.

I've been on the forum since 2005, but I don't come here very often.

So Dan, you've seen it right?

Post by **Daniel** » August 1st, 2007, 3:35 am

Naturally, Jeroen!

I was gonna wait till tomorrow to post my thoughts, but what the hey:

Anyway, long story short, the movie was a perfect 4/5 for me. I wouldn't say it was the best thing done in a long time though, because truthfully, the past few season have been pretty solid. At least better than anything from seasons 10-12. This was just a great movie and an experience I shall never forget.
