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!

Watch this youtube vid and you'll find that Family Guy pulls off all the jokes better. (well IMO it does anyway)
Of course they're going to be better.. the jokes been jacked "from" the best show out there & have been rewritten a bit. But they are still the same damn jokes. Like that fag ass Carlos Mencia jacking jokes from every other comedian.

You see that Mad magazine in the video, I have that same magazine framed next to a simpsons poster on my wall.
