I saw The Simpsons Movie last night. It's ok to good - everything you'd expect from a Simpson movie. But.... 1.there is nothing in the movie you won't see in a normal episode (with two small and insignificant exceptions.) In fact the whole thing feels a bit watered down - Itchy and Scracthy are suprisingly tame. The whole show seems less edgy than the series. 2. no suprises. Homer screws up, Marge holds them together, Liza is righteous.... They do nothing out of the ordinary and the plot line would easily fit in with the sereies. 3. supporting caste. From what I remember only one character outside the family gets anything more than a cameo appearance, and it ain't Mr Burns (boooo).
I'd forgotten about this thread. I'll break the habit of a (recent) lifetime and actually go to the cinema to watch The Simpsons. I'll try to see it in the afternoon though. It doesn't sound that great though, from what I've read. The bit with Bart should be a laugh!
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
I guess I was just expecting something a bit darker and subversive - it was a chance for them to get a bit deeper than they could on TV. But maybe people don't want that. It seemed very well recieved by the audience. I expected more, but at the end of the day it's The Simpsons, so they can't go too wrong. It will make you laugh. ps do they dub it in Danish? It musd be wierd if they do

I doubt it. Kids stuff, and things like Shrek get dubbed by famous (?) Danish actors, but they also show the original too. Even the Danes would rather see the original versions.

BBC is running a British Film series at the moment. Some classics I'd forgotten - especially Hayley Mills in Tiger Bay. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Rewatched La Gaan on the weekend - the first Bollywood movie i've enjoyed rather than endured - probably in my top ten list now. An Indian movie (obstentiously) about cricket but with a hollywood vision. Even the songs were good. BM - you would LOVE this.

Yes, these are my kind of movies, i genrally hate movies made today. too much special effects & nonsense in them i think I love all them 50's & 60's British movies like Billy Liar, Darling, Helldrivers, Saturday Night & Sunday Morning.
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WHITE ALBUM! you say its your birthday!
I'm not a big fan of sixties cinema. I guess it parralled the music industry in that it was trying new ideas and playing with new technology. For me too many tricky camera angles and groovy nonsense. Seems to go in ten year cycles. Fifties, seventies and nineties seem to have produced the bulk of classic cinema. Sixties and eighties and noughties (with the odd exception of course) doesn't appeal too much to me. Mind - I highly regard the kids classics - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Great Race, Those Magnificent Men etc. (and all edwardian - just like the UK Pyschedelic music dandies!) And of course James Bond and AHDN. But things like Easyrider, 2001 and Clockwork Orange all seem a bit to too selfconscious and "aware" for me. They were trying to hard. The realism of the 70's (eg Scorcese) was a nice flashback to the fifties
I'm a big fan of this film. It's almost like a romantic comedy for men. Great soundtrack and superb performances from the entire cast.
You're right - I never thought about that. It's all about "feelings," with that will-they won't-they (yay they do!) thing all romcoms have. I hate romcoms. I was had by the great soundtrack and obsesive collecting references. The swine. And I just HAVE to check out the Beta Band
