That?s reassuring to know, though whatever fondness I had for
the Simpsons burnt out so long ago that I can?t force myself to feel even mildly excited about this film. I haven?t been happy with the show since Season 9, and I have a gloomy suspicion that this project is being churned out largely for the sake of it, rather than there being any pressing need to take things theatrical (there?s been talk of a
Simpsons feature film since the early 90s, with the writers constantly expressing doubts of it ever taking off due to story development problems). I hope at the very least they can come up with a more imaginative title than ?the Simpsons Movie?.
I?ll wait to see what the reception?s like, but so far I have only one real incentive to see this film.
The Simpsons? greatest contribution to the world, if you ask me, came in the form of their semi-regular villain Sideshow Bob (wow, what a showman). I?m pleased to see that Kelsey Grammer?s on the cast list.
