    Anyone Seen "The Simpons Movie" yet?

    Heh heh. This is the first time one of my posts has been used as a siggy! Kewl! I feel just like Shakespeare or Wilde or Shaw... Y'know...Cletus Shakespeare or Buster Wilde or Ollie "Otter" Shaw...

    Anyone Seen "The Simpons Movie" yet?

    There's nothing like hearing "release the hounds!" in surround sound!

    Anyone Seen "The Simpons Movie" yet?

    Yeah! And the Homer/Flanders caricature Bart drew was funny, too!

    Anyone Seen "The Simpons Movie" yet?

    I love the scene where Homer bids "farewell" to the town while slowly sinking down the sandbox. The entire theatre erupted into enormous laughter!

    Can the musical "Hairspray" bring back Muppet Movies?

    I assumed The Producers did have a national release. I saw it in the ordinary multiplex I see all my movies in. I didn't have to go out of the way to see it. I know the film received a lot of harsh reviews, and didn't last too long in theatres, but it was playing alongside more mainstream...

    Among the trailers you may see before the film are The Chipmunks (potty humor), Daddy Day Camp (with Cuba Gooding, Jr.), Fred Claus (Christmas comedy with Vince Vaughn), and a CGI Horton Hears a Who, with Jim Carrey as the voice of Horton.

    Anyone Seen "The Simpons Movie" yet?

    Well, I saw the film at 9:30 in the morning, and the theatre was more than half filled. And this is the first time I noticed this theatre showing a film so early in the day (matinees usually begin after 11 at this particular cinema). I'm predicting this will be a big one, so if you can, I...

    I saw The Simpsons Movie this morning at 9:30, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT ! ! It's still my favorite show, and I tune in faithfully every Sunday. I still catch the reruns. I may be in the minority here, but I think the show is still very strong and funny. I'm not just saying that because I'm...

    2.35:1?

    I'm going for The Shakespeare Collection box set. In addition to the Branagh Hamlet, it contains the classic 1935 Warner Bros. version of A Midsummer Night's Dream with James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, Olivia de Havilland, Dick Powell and comedian Joe E. Brown; the lavish 1936 Romeo & Juliet...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Now it's getting cloudy. Looks like things are gearing up for a good ol' summer thunderstorm. But it's still awfully humid out.

    2.35:1?

    It may be interesting to note that Oklahoma! (1955) was shot with two sets of cameras. It was shot in 70mm Todd-AO and the more standard 35mm Cinemascope.

    2.35:1?

    Thanks!:) Cinerama actually produced only two feature films (not counting "demonstration" films on the process), due to the cost and complexities of the format: The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm and How the West Was Won, both released in 1962. The less-expensive Ultra Panavision 70...

    2.35:1?

    Exactly! Those 70mm films are horrible when you watch them scrunched down on a normal-sized TV. The Kenneth Branagh Hamlet is an absolute mess! If you ever want to convince someone to switch over to widescreen, compare the pan & scan version to the widescreen edition. Hamlet is panned and...

    Can the musical "Hairspray" bring back Muppet Movies?

    I sorta liked Chicago. John C. Reilly was the standout for me. The stage production is much better, IMO. I agree that the film version of the Broadway Producers was disappointing. Again, I enjoyed the show more.
