Yes, because that makes all the difference.

I'm not one who can quote from The Simpsons ... but because I recognize 83% of the quotes in that thread ... that means they're from Seasons 1 - 10.

Confirming my assertion ... that I stopped watching when the show went downhill.

If the movie is a 90-minute episode from the first ten seasons, I'll like it.

But regardless, I'm obviously seeing it sometime this weekend. (likely Sunday)

I think the big thing about The Simpsons Movie is they hand drew the entire film, when most cartoons are computer generated these days. It is an "art" film. I hope to see it this weekend.

Just saw Shortbus - what a delight. I want to see it again just to pick up some of the lines. Of course, the national anthem will never be the same for me.

Shortbus was great, I think most of this lascivious crowd would love it. Just draw the blinds before viewing

Note to self - watch more unrated films

I liked the last Batman movie (which was a very nice surprise since I didn't care for any of the KKK(c) incarnations), so I must admit I'm looking forward to The Dark Knight. Teasers are, almost by definition, lies but I like this one.

And seeing the visual approach they took to the Joker it seems they are keeping with a pleasingly dark and serious approach to it.

Shortbus was fantastic!

innerSpaceman · 07-28-2007, 11:11 AM

Yeah, I was rather fond of Shortbus.

I don't suppose there are any clubs like that in L.A.??

Yeah, I guess with a teaser like that, the only "lie" they can tell is to leave some of that dialog on the cutting room floor.

I like the dark approach to the new Batman series, but I draw the line at wanting "serious" with my Batman. It's frelling Batman.

I'm not wanting anything as campy as the TV series or as stupid as the Joel Schumacher disasters ... but I prefer the filmmakers acknowledge the complete non-seriousness of themed villains and an animagus-inspired crimefighter.
