Sadly, I have to agree...

I've always been rather content in that they never made a movie as of yet. This idea sort of freaks me out... not comfortable with it at all.

Hmmm...

Also I stil think the Simpsons is hilarious. I don't know why so many people think the recent past few years have sucked. Do you still watch them though? All of em? I do religiously....

I'm surpised so many fans are living in constant denial.

The show has gone beyond the point of no return, it's plots are cliqued, and the humour is terrible

I dunno if it is denial as much as a matter of taste.

I like how the quality in character design and animation has increased over the years, as any good show should, and I still do laugh at it.

Sure, there are some episodes that aren't as funny as others but I still love the show.

I just... don't know how they'll do in a movie.

I've told you already. They have VETERAN writers working on it. The ones who wrote all of your favourite Simpsons episodes.

Nope, considering I'm a Seasons 1-11 fan, I like the fact there making a movie.

And quite frankly, you've been a total Prick yourself in some threads, so keep it shut

A simpsons movie? I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand they will be having classic simpsons writers doing it, which is good. On the other hand it could follow the cartoon movie trend where a movie comes out and from there on the show goes downhill, such as Hey Arnold!, Recess, Pokemon, among many others

Those are all children's shows.

South Park, anyone?

"Hey Arnold" was always going to end when the movie came out...and it did'nt go down hill, "The Journal" is one of the greatest finales ever to a cartoon.

Recess always sucked

Pokemon, whilst it has sucked for three years, has finally become worth watching again with "Pokemon Advanced"

Yes I realize that... that's good, although I dunno what they could possibly write about that would last between an hour to an hour and a half, the typical cartoon movie timeframe.

I guess all I gotta do is wait til I see it to judge.

Maybe the lack of "great" episodes is due to the fact that they're using all of the good ideas for the movie.

That could be true, since I've heard that the movie has been in the works for quite some time now.
On a side note, Stone Ill is from Mississauga??? So am I. What a crappy city. Where abouts in Mississauga?

To be fair... Recess was cancelled before they made the movie. It's just in endless reruns now.

But even if it sucks as an animated movie, it will REALLY suck 10 years down the road as a live action movie made by some guy who saw one episode and decided to wing it! Or was I the only one that saw that pathetic Inspector Gadget movie!
