The Simpsons hit the big screen after 20 years (starting as a short on the Tracey Ullman Show) and over 400 episodes. Why pay for a movie when you can get your fix every Sunday evening at 8 O'clock on FOX (or every evening in syndication)?
Because, well ah, you know, now there's... Why do we go out for dinner at a fancy restaurant every now and again (anniversary, birthday, just won the lottery, etc.) when we can cook at home? Why do we go out and watch a game at the ballpark and pay $5 for a cup of warm Duf beer when it's live on TV and the fridge with a cold one is right there (or at Moe's)?
Hey - it's the SIMPSONS (da da di da da daa da da dadada dum) and somebody has to pony up for the $65 million in production costs! Doh!!
Now I still have a special place for my all time favorite - Airplane (1980, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Peter Graves, Ethel Merman, Otto, et al), but that was an 88-minute movie.
Now where's my Squishee?
