Last night I went and saw The Simpsons Movie with a few friends in Danbury; it’s brief review time, without plot spoilers!
I don’t watch TV. I stopped consuming the mindless madness more than a year ago, with the onset of podcasting. I found this new media able to cater to niche audiences and stay much more appealing and intelligent. That said, I wasn’t able to escape the onslaught of Spider Pig, from children quoting the commercial at the Academy. Since I was a fan of The Simpsons when I was a child, I decided to round up a group of friends to see the cinematic experience, despite my disdain for theaters in general.
After sitting through the advertisements that spawn my hatred for theaters, The Simpsons Movie started with a bang, jam-packed hilarious first twenty minutes. Of course, the comedy continued throughout. I really liked the movie, with an emphasis on the beginning rather than its end, but think it could have been a bit longer. It clocks in only at 1:27! I admit that I’m severely unfit to write a proper review; take this link to a real one, and the advice to see it somehow.
Spider Pig, Spider Pig.
Does whatever a spider pig does.
Can he swing from a web?
No, he can’t cuz he’s a pig.
By the way, did you know they’re making a Simpsons Movie?
