BTW--random Simpsons trivia--I think I mentioned on an older thread somewhere here that PDI did the computer animaton in "Homer3" episode on the Season 7 Treehouse of Horror. (right before they were picked up by DreamWorks)

The person who directed the CGI in Homer3 was....Tim Johnson! Who also later co-directed Antz, Madagascar and Over the Hedge!!

Thanks for the notice, Josh! I shall read it post haste!

If I might ask though, why Scully?

And yes, Vi, get to BK ASAP! The toys talk, and you might even get the special gold Homer! (Meaning the ad I posted lied.

)

Because we love his unique stylings and great contribution to the whole Simpsons endeavor!

Or maybe it was because he was the only one we could get for ten minutes?

I can't remember which...

Great interview. Very interesting guy. I'm going to see it tonight! Can't wait. Two of my friends went and saw 3 viewings of it today.

Your so lucky, bawpcwpn! Do tell us how it is!

And silly Ben, it was obviously both!......yeah, he wishes. J/k

Seriously though, I knew an interview was coming, I was just hoping for it to be Al Jean. I'm kind of a fan of his. *cough*

Anyway, this was actually a great interview! Learned a lot about the movie, such as when it began, what it went through, how one pitch became an episode (one of my favorites, btw!) and how Scully got hired, etc.... It was very good.

The film was very very very funny. And the storyline was solid which was good. Hope you all enjoy it!

Post by **Daniel** » July 26th, 2007, 2:23 pm

Cool, hope you like it, Ben!

I'm going to see it either Monday or Tuesday. Would go during the weekend, but I have other plans.

I'm so exited!!
