The Simpsons Movie

[Ghoulish Delight]

I guess I should be happy that it was as good as it could have been. The gags were funny, a far site better than the crap I've seen from the new TV episodes. But in the end, it just stood out to me as further evidence that the whole enterprise needed to die a decade ago. Sure, the jokes were funny, but they were just jokes, the movie had nothing to offer beyond that. Did the fact that they had the long running time to work with add anything? Nope, all they did was glue together a "Springfield's gonna blow up" episode, a "Bart looks somewhere else for a father figure" episode, and a "Lisa crusades for the environment and finds a guy" episode. Did being free from TV decency standards add anything? Hardly. A couple funny, but throw away moments. Yawn.

I'm glad I saw things that made me laugh. But I found the thing overall pretty forgettable.
