    A deal is pending between the world's largest gas station company and Fox to temporarily convert 11 7-Elevens across the United States into Kwik-E-Marts to promote the upcoming Simpsons Movie. I've taken the liberty of creating an image of what this might look like if the event goes through, and let me be the first to say this is completely awesome.

    You'll also be able to buy items inspired by the show, like KrustyO's cereal, Buzz Cola, and iced Squishees. As soon as we find out exactly if, when, and where this happens, we'll be sure and let you know.

    I think I stopped watching regularly somewhere around the twelfth or thirteenth season. It just lost that special oomph it once used to have, and that's really disappointing. I'm not sure if I'll see the movie either, since I've lost faith in anything new regarding the Simpsons. But if I hear it gets rave reviews, I might check it out.

    If you are not so sure, you can alway download the movie when it comes out. And if you really enjoyed it, buy the DVD. I alway do that.

    True. I would end up doing that anyway.

    *Thread Necromancery!*

    watched it yesterday, I've enjoyed it more than any movie i've watched in the past year.
    Funny from 00:00:01 to the end, and laughs at al gore.

    but it was really short, about 80 mintues...

    Yeah a buddy just watched this movie as well and he totally recommends it. He pretty much said the same as Boo there .. FUNNY the whole way but short.

    It was good, but disappointing too, even though I was prepared for it to be. For me it had some funny moments but there were just so many missed opportunities. As in, you think something funny will happen but it moves to the next scene.

    *Sigh* I would have liked the movie to be reminiscent of the days of Mr Plow, the Ice Hockey episode, Clown College and Homer becoming a teacher, just to name a few. In order to be funny, it seems that today's episodes (and the movie) just rely on Homer's "big kid" attitude and the fact that he always gets hurt. Gone are the days of the subtle, clever jokes that made you think. Like, what the hell was with Marge washing the dish in the burning house? And the Comic Book Guy's line about his successful life? Not funny. Maybe it's just me.

    It was a nice touch to see the original ambulance that crashed into the tree all those years ago when Homer jumps Springfield Gorge on the skateboard.

    Overall, entertaining. I didn't expect it to be how I truly wished it to be, and because of that I wasn't totally disappointed.

    A good movie, if you still like The Simpsons. It was like watching a whole season in 90 minutes.

    So basically, it's more similar to the new seasons than the older ones.

    Yeah, I'm not seeing this. The recent episodes piss me off more than they entertain me.

    I'm probably not going to see it (in theaters) either, only because I know it'll be more like the newer ones, which have been a complete disappointment in comparison to the older ones (like seasons 3-8). I'm sure there will probably be a moment where I'll snicker, but definitely not bust out laughing every 2 minutes. *sigh* I miss that.


    Edited: I just watched a horrible cam rip of it and it was exactly what I was expecting. First and foremost it is definitely not worth seeing in the theaters, IMO. For those of you who aren't as keen on the newer seasons, it's pretty much like that, but one of the better ones (which isn't all that great to be honest). Basically, I would've preferred the writing to be like it used to; more clever, witty and subtle entertainment. And even with the few laughs that I got, it was no where close to how good it could've been.

    A lot of people long for the old days. I started watching it when it started in '89 and watching the show grow was great but watching the sharp decline in quality after the 8th season was heart-breaking. One of my cousin's friends described the show best when he said it had become a parody of itself.

    From what I've seen, people who like the new episodes didn't start watching until the mid-90s and they also usually like the newer episodes of Family Guy, which they started watching when it came back with the 4th season....generally speaking, of course.

    Well I was too young to be watching the Simpsons in 89 since I was only about 4 years old. I would say I started watching when I was about 10, which was about 1995 ish. But of course I couldn't truly appreciate the humor back then. It wasn't until a few years ago that I started to religiously watch the reruns they play mon-fri, and hoping for them to show an episode within or before the 8th season. I'm 21 now and I hate when they play anything beyond season 8. I pretty much just don't bother to watch it.

    I have to say I was excited about this movie coming out. I went to see if finally with my brother the other day. I really loved the movie but it kinda left me with the re-used joke, yeah great watching the movie for the first time, but most likely wont go back to see it again in theaters feeling.

    I haven't bothered watching it yet. I stopped watching Simpsons years ago, even though it's my favorite series of all time, animated or otherwise. Like anyone cares, right?

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Just finished it. It wasn't bad, not great either. It was funnier than I anticipated. To be expected, the beginning where the plot was extremely undefined were most of the funny moments. Once it became about saving Springfield, there were very few funny moments.

    I finally got around to watching this movie and I couldn't get past 20 minutes. It was just too terrible.
