If there's anrated DVD, they'll release the Duff and various low-end bars around the country will be decked out as Moe's.

Hmm, I think this is worht a side trip to Mountain View for me this week.

Thanks GC, rreally great photos!

Thanks for the photos GC! Now my son wants the comic book.

He has been begging to see this movie but I have only allowed him to watch 1-2 episodes. Actually I think we were across from DL and had no kid channels so I let him watch. Dad says "What's the harm in letting him see the movie?" I don't know yet.

If he's watched 2 episodes, the movie will probably fly right over his head. Just a guess.

And if the reason you don't let him watch the TV show is the content then I suspect the movie is going to pretend at least the same problems and probably more. It is rated PG-13 so I imagine they've at least gone with language not allowed on Fox.

I think The Simpsons is probably one of the more benign shows on today- I've seen stronger content on the Disney Channel. Let him watch it- it won't warp him too much.

I don't know how it is I typed "pretend" when the word I meant is "have". Aphasia sucks.

I agree it is a benign show (hard to believe the ruckus it caused all those many years ago) and with the characters so firmly entrenched the movie probably doesn't go as far as they would have a decade ago but it probably won't be as benign as the show.

Maddy loved it until the episode where Mary Poppins was killed then she had nightmares for a week and we had to cut her off.

Well, I translated it to "present", so perhaps that's where your brain was going.

You have aphasia?

While I haven't suffered any brain damage, I've always likened some of the more mild cases of aphasia to something I've experienced that some other former stutterers do, which is often having the right word on the tip of my tongue, or just using the wrong word entirely. I can usually describe everything about that word, even synonyms, but have difficulty finding the one I'm thinking of.

I've just accepted it, and it's become almost humorous to me, now - so I haven't bothered looking it up further than the one time I got super obsessed with it.
