The Simpsons Movie

Saturday night I joined Alen, Jessie, Mirjana and Annaliese at Marion to watch the long awaited Simpsons movie. It was pretty good, definitely a lot better than anything they've shown on TV lately (although you get to see that stuff for free, so . . .)

I did feel like it dropped off a bit in terms of laughs after the first half hour or so. The animation looked fantastic though on the big (wide) screen, and you got to see some things you wouldn't normally see on the TV show (Otto smoking a bong, Bart's penis etc).

As Alen will attest, the sound in the cinema was pretty dodgy, and there were way too many kids, including one group who talked right through it (I think they may have been the birthday party we saw in Spagos at dinner). Overall it was a good experience though, and I'm looking forward to the DVD and all the deleted stuff.
