The first half of the trailer was funny, any hope I had for this movie died with the second half.

Aw, don't you get it?! He was stuck between a rock and a hard place!!

As off as the Simpsons has been in the past few years, I have been looking forward to a Simpsons movie since they FIRST had their own series in the early 90's. Not that there was any sign of one, but I always wanted to see one get made.

Then, of course, the old rumors of Simpsons films since the 90's had me hoping more and more. I Liked what I saw. I'd really have loved to have seen Conan O'Brian and some old schoolers write some of it, though... but if they can make it some what good, I have faith. Even if it sucks, I'll still see it.

BTW.... has anyone else noticed Maurice LaMarche is now a semi-reguilar voice actor on the show?

"Yay, watch Homer do something stupid...Again"

ATHF's movie teaser was far better.

Really? I haven't been watching much, lately. Last night's episode was the first new one I'd seen in a couple seasons. With the hype of the Simpsons movie getting me all misty-eyed and nostalgic, I may start watching the new season regularly again.

One thing I never got was that Frank Welker used to be in just about every episode of the series, but they used him almost exclusively for Santa's Little Helper and Snowball and various other animals, rather than any characters. Seemed kinda strange to have one of the most talented actors in the business on your payroll and only use him for barks and meows.

It is strange but his animal noises are pure genius! I was completely blown away when I heard that it was all done by a human.

Heh! Last nights episode WAS one that he was in. He was the second Army recruiter. I think he was also Captain Crunch in Homer's mind.

Maurice appeared in 3 episodes in the last 2 seasons (counting the current one). He was Commander McBragg

(incase you don't know who that is)
in that episode where Lisa tells that long round of storis to Homer, He was Orson Wells in the Halloween episode this year too.

He did do the alternate Jay Sherman voice back when Jay was on the Simpsons. I know he worked with Matt Groening before, since he was a regular on Futurama.

You do know that Frank Welker is the premier voice actor for animals in many projects. He does animal sounds for quite a few movies and other things.

Wasn't he also Ace in "Batman Beyond"?

Fank Welker or Maurice LaMarche?

(BTW, the McBragg picture isn't from the Simpsons episode, clearly He's an old character from Underdog)

*DrSpengler* · 11-13-2006, 04:14 PM

Heh, oh I know Welker's the go-to-guy when it comes to animal noises since he's crazy-good at them. I'm just hard-pressed to think of a single time he's ever actually spoken dialogue on the Simpsons, considering how many episodes he's been in. THe only one that comes to mind is the episode where Bart befriends an old cowboy and they go to a meeting of elderly Western steotypes. Welker plays a crazy 49er.

And LaMarche as Colonal McBragg...that's brilliant.

I regret having missed this year's Treehouse of Horror, especially if LaMarche was doing his kickass Orson Welles impression in it.

I think I'll keep on top of the Simpsons more now. I tend to watch a cartoon solely because a voice actor I like is in it. I mean, the only reason I watch Shuriken School AT ALL is because Maurice LaMarche and Charlie Adler are in it, and they don't get nearly enough work these days.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie trailer

*Anarky* · 11-14-2006, 12:18 AM

Hahahahahaha! I love the part where they take a shot at these CGI-abominations. The rest is just one joke and doesn't really stand out from a regular episode. But I'm still looking forward to that movie.

**GK Punk** · 11-14-2006, 12:32 AM

I actually enjoyed the trailer

And Woof. Don't forget Woof. How can your forget that perfectly creepy hynea-man laugh?

I loved the CGI segment, but the random part with Homer being bashed senselessly sort of made my head tilt. Still, if the reviews come back good, I'll go and see it. Until then, I'll just watch the bunny again

*Masked Ninja* · 11-14-2006, 02:07 AM

The first part of the trailer was great and funny (as well as pretty well-done from a CG standpoint, if a little too cutesy... but that was the point). The rest went downhill, as it didn't even make me crack a smile. The "rock and a hard place" gag was the sort of thing that you just kinda stare at and wonder who got paid to come up with that one.

Still... viva la 2D!

**Barkworm** · 11-14-2006, 02:14 AM

I also think it was pretty dumb that after we have heard all that "2D BLABLA", we see Homer in a CG wrecking ball...

*VaughnMichael* · 11-14-2006, 02:19 AM

i'm a huge fan of aqua teen and that trailer was hardly better than the simpsons one that was some of the best simpsons stuff I've seen in years in that little clip I'm now officialy excited about 2 movies not tmnt and simpsons.
I'm more than likely still see aqua teen but that trailer was stupid.

Ha! Exactly my thoughts, too... CG-aided lines! Which aren't bad on their own, but it kinda makes you look at their claim and say "...wha?"

There's nothing in that clip that was any different from the past few seasons, either your expectations are at their usually low level, or you're just trying to be excited for this crap when everyone else sees straight through it.
