Nah quite a few people are excited about the Simpsons movie.
Aqua teen sadly doesn't look good though..I'm sure thats just one scene though I plan to see it anyways.
And I will thank you for the clip to the Aqua Teen preview but not for the rude comments as usual. Very suave Zarius

Never been a fan of The Simpsons, but it's looking like the movie could be enjoyable if this teaser is any indication.

Haven't been a fan of ATHF since season one, but I'll be watching that movie in hopes that it will actually give us more than a shred of backstory that won't be reinvented every fricken episode. Plus, my ATHF-obsessed friends will surely drag me there anyway.

I nearly ditched ATHF myself after season three (or two, depending on what order there in), but the 2005 mini-season was beyond hilarious, I doubt heavily the "Deleted Scenes" episode with "footage from the movie" was the real deal, and it was all the better for it.

"The stick has met with resistance"

The show sadly does lacks the stuff that made it appealing in the first place for the die-hards, there's no more Doctor Weird and Steve, and no more "crime fighting" (after "The Drizzle" there was no way that could go further, or be topped in any shape nor form),

"The stick has met with resistance"

My thoughts exactly. I found that double-sized ep to be quite bizare, and sort of like a parody in as much as the clips were showing the watered-down nonsense that many people might expect from an ATHF movie. Even though it's a hardly-realistic 'toon, I still get queasy every time I see Carl sawing off his knee-cap.

But, the guys behind the show have a habit of going against expectations. If you look at the current season, the changes are small, but favorable. Shake (Dana Snyder) is actually tolerable for the first time in years. Maybe he just had trouble readjusting to the character after his Venture Bros. role, but I hope he never makes it back to the infuriating a-hole routine.

Oh, and, that Simpsons Movie looks like it might be alright. There... I'm not off-topic now.

Looks like they're using the animation style from Futurama. Also, the "2D BLALA" most likely pertained to the characters instead of the environment.

As much as I'll relish the idiotic and blind approval from the apologists.

**Barkworm** · 11-16-2006, 12:38 PM

Please don't argue about this. I would like to know why you think the criticism is idiotic though.

And here I was thinking I was the only one that thought it ironic/hypocritical. At least the entire movie isn't CGI.

*gobo* · 11-16-2006, 01:49 PM

Perhaps we should make it known that the 2D blabla observation isn't criticism. We're talking about a spoof after all. It's merely a point of interest. More than likely, no one will have to twist my arm to get me to watch it. Is there anyone less apt to see it because of this observation?

Yeah, I mean, if anything all the negative criticism is coming from the movie having everything that's been wrong with the series for years, not the CGI animation or whatever, if people don't like the comedy, that's not "idiotic", that's independent criticism. I guess KROW is finally letting the critics get to him (and all of those critics are die-hard old school Simpsons fans), still, better to be a critical fan than a goat, who just eats the grass because it's there.

Yes believe it or not some of us who grew up with the simpsons still like the show at some points not that everythings been great but it does have it's moments. And to be quite honest I enjoy the middle ground of the series myself more so than I do the orignal simpsons and the first 2 seasons I find them to be very boring so much that I really can't even watch them anymore. I'm quite happy that the focal point of the show is Homer and Not Bart theres only so far you can go with him getting into trouble. But I guess the same could be said for Homer acting like a moron but I enjoy it and find it funny. I did enjoy the show more though when it was branching out and touching on storys of the other characters living in Springfield.
The Movie may be complete crap or hey it may not but I know one thing there will be tuns of people there to see it on opening day Many there still fans of the show and many who want to see it fall flat on it's face but all in all they will be there to see the Simpsons on the big screen and thats good enough for me.

Backward logic like that is funny cuz it's just so absurd. Unfortunately, people actually think like that. "It'll be so awesome to see hardcore fans realize what an over-inflated POS this movie is that I'm going to buy myself and all my Simpsons-hating friends a ticket even though we'll technically be adding to the film's popularity. So, to compensate for that, I refuse to buy any popcorn!

" My dad was like that. "Ugh! That movie was terrible! Let me go rent it for you..."

Well, I meant the criticism upon the movie's actual release. I do believe I said that. Any statements prior would just be due to low expectations and assumptions, which will happen and are 99% of the time tolerable.

Nah, I more often than not scoff at critics, even if they say good things about franchises I'm a fan of. I let my own mind speak for me when watching films or television programs, instead of needing validation from someone else. If it peaks my interest, I may take a gander of it -- if I have the time to do so, that is.

Also, I'm definitely not one of those Simpsons fans who love it just because it's got "Simpsons" on the label. Honestly, I don't even watch the new episodes when they air. I have figurines and novelties of Homer at my house and have the seasons on DVD (not the special holiday releases and etc.), but that's as far as it goes. I guess one could say I'm a casual fan.

The two reasons I'll go and see this film are 1) it's Simpsons on the big screen, and 2) I like The Simpsons.

ATHF's movie teaser was far better.

The only thing ATHF is better then is Tom Goes To Mayor, so that just tells you something.

To me that trailer felt like the South Park Movie trailer, but that's just me.

On a side note I love how you all pick on Putrescent for his taste in things, when the crap you guys eat up is even more sickening. And you never listen to him, he knows more about TMNT then alot of you and when he says somethings going to happen you all say "No that's stupid that won't happen" and woah! It does. Amazing how stupid alot of you can be sometimes.

*Anarky* · 11-19-2006, 12:10 AM

Thank you, Spitfire, for your amazingly insulting insights. And no, we won't be going into them any further or I'll see this thread locked in no time, which would be a real shame.

Spitfire? don't you think you should be looking at the person who is dishing out the insults on others who have opinions other than his own as usual on this damn message board? Yes and I'm talking about the one the only zarius why don't you read around guys every time someone posts something he doesn't agree with he has to start with the name calling and acting more immature than an episode of Elmo's world.
Give me a friggin' break this is just getting out of hand is he paying you mod's not to yell at him? does he have some sort of diplomatic immunity?
I mean does Krang really need to be brought into this matter because either all of this is going on or you guys aren't really seeing what's going on?
Someone who acts like this should not have free reign over a message board to talk to people and put them down as he see's fit.
I was told about my getting angry over people bashing tmnt on fast forward so I stopped and I have been holding my tongue ever since well I think the same should be damn well said for everyone else on this site. The rules should apply to everyone and not just those who you feel are bothering you there should be no favorites.
If you don't agree just shut the f*** up and mind your own business or talk to people like a normal person without dishing out rude comments and snide remarks since you think your all such wonderful adults.
I mean Christ none of us are exactly alike and I'm quite happy about that that's for damn sure.
And I'm sorry if I tick anyone off but I am here to talk about The Ninja Turtles with other fans not get into arguments with people at every turn.

Please don't generalize. For each person who matches your description, there are hundreds more who don't.

While I wouldn't put it so harshly myself, I do agree. There's no point at all in attacking someone over a difference in opinion, since it only causes arguments. Debating is fine, disagreements are fine, but personal attacks are not, regardless of whether or not they are subtle.

Here's a good example of what I'm talking about. If you don't like the clip, fine, but don't attack people who do.

*ZariusTwo* · 11-19-2006, 12:24 PM

Ah, but you'd have to take into account Puter's been getting under a lot of people's skins lately, so I was'nt in a fairly happy-lovy duvvy mood when he dropped that line about the trailer being good. This IS the same person who keeps demanding to know why everyone hates his favourate season FF
