Simpsons

Since I'm not gonna show any new tiles today either, I guess the best thing to write about other than the work I did on them was the fact I watched the Simpsons movie today.

First, let me start off by making it clear how much the show annoys me.

It used to be great, but like all shows, it reached a certain point where the writers stopped developing the characters, and now they're stuck in these loops where Homer and Lisa will always slightly improve their relationship, Marge will constantly have some sort of mental breakdown, Bart will pleasantly surprise people's low expectations, and tons of shameless celebrity cameos.

Really, that does sum up the last seven seasons of the show, and pretty much the movie, but, the movie wasn't half bad.

As low as my expectations are for the show, I knew the movie would at least be better, they've spent much more money on it and it shows.

Stuff is actually shaded, there is quite a lot of cel shaded 3D (despite some of the trailers boasting the fact they dare to be an "ugly 2D movie") and some parts actually made me laugh.

I haven't laughed at the show in a long time, most of their jokes are so mild, and they try to deliver the punchlines as if it's some of the most controversial shit ever.

It just leaves you saying "ugh.."

So would I recommend the movie?

Yeah, I would especially to those that still like the show, not because you'll enjoy it even more, but because maybe it will put things in perspective and you'll realize that the Simpsons haven't been this funny for a long time.

Okay, I just downloaded GM7 with a crack, and I'm gonna get back to tiling.

BYAAH!

Family Guy hasn't been run completely dry like The Simspons yet. The Simpsons are like Stephen King novels, you have to wonder if people behind them even care any more.

umm, you have to remember that Family Guy makes a lot of racial jokes and plagiarizes from other shows, where the Simpsons it is original and the jokes are not racial.

They should've continued Futurama…and Simpsons is more sophisticated humor and it's also funnier. And Family Guy can be really stupid and annoying sometimes. Yeah it's true the show has been running for such a long time, but it's not true that it has gotten worse and the stories repeating, I have seen almost every show, probably near 350 outta 400 something…great show.
