The Simpsons Movie: New Trailer
 
http://www.simpsonschannel.com/cgi-b...lyFVFkvwHOxOrf

Let's see, Naked Bart, Flanders takes in a Simpson, Homer does something stupid, Mr. Burns delivers the best line of the trailer, even if it leads to a scene made more famous by Homer and Marge

Loved it back when I saw that stuff in 1995!

LogicDonny 02-19-2007 08:56 PM

Oh man, I sure saw this and laughed.

I can't wait.... This shall be good I hope..

Good trailer.

Sonic777 02-19-2007 09:01 PM

I can't wait to see the simpson movie.Does it even have a plot.Just want to know.

gobo 02-19-2007 09:09 PM

They got by just fine without one for the past 10 years. Mediocrity is good enough. ^_^

Sonic777 02-19-2007 09:13 PM

Well you got me there.

Peanut 02-19-2007 09:21 PM

That trailer was severely un-funny. I'll see it, but I'm kind of worried about it.

You forgot Burns shuts down Springfeilds power again.

But that trailer makes me wonder who the villian will be. Burns, or Kratos and Krang (seemed like a UFO was coming around). And no Sideshow Bob? That sucks.

Really the only thing I like about the movie so far is the animation.

EDIT: No wait, he took away the sun first. Nevermind.

Bleh. Too much damn CGI. The animation (like that in the show over the past ten or so years) has no personality.

LogicDonny 02-20-2007 12:50 AM

Still come on.. in the making over 18 years. I can't wait for this movie.. that shot with a ufo hovering over springfield is a page out of that movie Independance day. I hope it's the aliens kang and kodus..

I can't wait!!!!!! This movie is going to be epic.

Jump, Jump, Rest Rest! Lol.:lol:

Barkworm 02-20-2007 02:06 AM

If they had released a Simpsons movie back in the day when they were still the funniest show on TV it would have been amazing, I have no doubt about that. This on the other hand...

AquaParade 02-20-2007 11:44 AM

I dont really watch the new episodes of the Simpsons, due to the fact that they just dont seem as funny to me anymore, but I still like pretty much all of the old episodes. They said the movie has been in the makings for 18 years...hmm, I remember hearing about a Simpsons movie but not anymore then like 10 years ago. Maybe they have something up their sleeves for us, I like how they are trying to show that the town of Springfield has more characters in it than just the Simpsons. I hope this turns out better than I am expecting though.

Mecha Cow 02-20-2007 11:45 AM

Just...No. I don't see how anyone could possibly think this is funny. Go away, The Simpsons.

*E* I'm also pretty sure I've seen all of these 'jokes' and plotlines before.

If you're expecting that, then the intergrity of the show will have completly been dissolved. Kang and Kudos were made famous by comedic side-aways or their apperances in "Treehouse of Horror" which were always horror anthologies that stood alone. If they show up, the "reality" already threatened by the celebrity VAs appearing every episode will be shattered, and the show will be more of an insult to the reason it was made in the first place.

What I love the most? Most Simpsons "fans" don't actually "get" why the show was made or what it was when it began, and now it is what they perceived it to have always been. A f*cking children's cartoon.

Wasn't the reason it was made in the first place to be a simple satire like the SNL 'toons? Since I actually saw it on the Tracy Ullman program more than its own program, I have to say that always seemed like the intention.

Fairly certain I don't fit that mold, but I have never ever seen The Simpsons as a children's cartoon. Satire is thought-provoking humor, and thought-provoking is a no-no for lil' kids' entertainment. Case in point: TMNT:>> (a cliche topped with idiocy and peppered with a dash of TMNT). :roll: But, then again, I think a lot of satirical 'toons are horribly over-the-top for even many adults. So, I guess that voids my opinion. :P

Anarky 02-20-2007 03:09 PM

You know, I honestly don't care if it sucks, but I won't let the oportunity pass to see the Simpsons on the big screen. As a Simpsons-fan, and believe me when I say that you americans have it good compared to the German viewers, this is something I mustn't miss. And I'll wait until saying how good it is until I've seen it. And no, it's not "damn obvious" for any reason already.

Bottom line: I can't wait.

There's also Spongebob and Bratz you know

(did I just seriously compare the current seasons to those two? Yes, yes I did)

gobo 02-20-2007 04:49 PM

Same formula. :ohwell:

EDIT: Spongebob, Bratz and >>, I mean.

LogicDonny 02-20-2007 04:57 PM

check out at 1:51 in the trailer. .Greenday!

Brodie 02-20-2007 10:53 PM

Abortions are good things right?

Cause this looks like an abortion.

LogicDonny 02-20-2007 11:13 PM

look i was thinking is that they want you to see this trailer and expect the simpsons to be similar to what you saw in the show.

What if they pull something amazing that would shock you and didn't expect you to believe that the simpsons had something new and fresh in it.

In fact, last sunday episode was really good.

That has'nt happened for years son, if you love it, good for you, but that says nothing for the rest of us.

LogicDonny 02-21-2007 12:48 AM

Well the movie is still 5 months away so this is just a trailer.

The simpsons movie will probably do really well in theatres due to the brand name and popularity.

I wonder how many ppl bought the simpsons season box set dvds.

VaughnMichael 02-21-2007 02:34 AM

I saw it and I'm not afraid to say it to any of you bashes I loved it the animation was top notch right up with futurama if not better and at the end the entire trailer brought a tear of happiness to my eye more so than I can say sadly for the new tmnt movie..:ohwell:

I agree it was and when it ended it had me going aww

Best quote?

"I have two buttons behind this desk. One will supply your town with power, the other releases the hounds."

Personally, as much as I love the old Simpson episodes, I can't help but feel like something terrible is going to happen (IE it's going to be a movie-length episode of what we are faced with now). But, all the same, I'm looking forward to what's going to happen. It seems like Bart and Homer are going to play are large role (Marge and Lisa seem to be off to the side in the trailer).

So...yeah. Hopefully this won't flush 18 years of hard work down the can :ohwell:

The Stryker 02-21-2007 08:53 AM

God I can't stand the current state of The Simpsons.

It's so bland, like a taco with just lettuce.

Does it honestly matter at this point? The Simpsons went from being a good show with a couple of bad episodes to a bad show with a couple of a good episodes long ago. It's the Sonic of television. Maybe they'll finally put it out of its misery after this.

LogicDonny 02-21-2007 06:14 PM

Only if the movie fails but come on, the movie will be packed with hardcore fans and fans of teh simpsons of all ages.

I will be there first day and so will many of you too.

he was talking about sonic the hedgehog cartoons.

ZariusTwo 02-21-2007 10:38 PM

You wish.

The recent video games have sucked balls.

Son, It's a sad day for animation when you think THAT'S better than Futurama. In fact, knowing how you defend anything that is'nt popular anymore, It's a safe bet you're lying your butt off just to be different. (s*tty 2-d Film Roman style any five year old can draw with outdated jokes emotes tears from people's eyes? Somehow if Walt Disney could emerge from his grave with a tazer, he'd know exactly what to do)

I'm tempted to agree with ZariusTwo on this one, for the first time ever.

ugh... and useful information.

he's making fun of me..

What the hell are you even talking about? And that link doesn't even go to Wikipedia.

"Yo. Simpsons movie."

"Simpsons are t3h sux!"

"Yah!"

"No wai! Simpsons r t3h r00l!!!1"

"U sux 4 lieking simpsinz lawl!!!11"

"nu-uh!!!111one"

Seriously, guys. If you wanna see the movie then see the movie. Or watch the TV series for that matter. If you don't... maybe you could spend time discussing things that you actually enjoy instead of a million rewordings of "simpsinz t3h sux" and "u t3h sux 4 lieking brat smipsintaco lawl!!11".

By the way, I enjoyed the trailer despite the fact that I haven't watched a new Simpsons episode in years. I'm more of a South Park fan, myself.

Anarky 02-22-2007 12:41 PM

Please don't do that, Goon. Mocking people isn't really that good an idea. Obviously the debates will continue on, and your "voice of reason" won't help a bit, I'm afraid. So essentially what you did was only flamebaiting, whether it was a conscious act or not doesn't matter.

Personally, I am looking forward to this movie, as I said and I don't really care about any trailer all that much. The only thing I'm worried about is the dubbing. You see, the voice actress for Marge over here passed away. They found a good replacement, much closer to the original. But it just isn't "our" Marge anymore. We had the old Marge for almost fifteen seasons and you get used to a thing like that, you know. So I will try to see this movie in its original dub... which is going to be damned hard.

A good thing I balance my time watching and discussing Galactica somewhere, and arguing about how bad this show and movie trailer is elsewhere
