Oh the awkwardness in going from Moe boasting that it's in "2-D" and then cutting to some heavily computer-assisted shots.

temp · (11-13-2006, 07:49 AM)

Looks awesome!

{Mike} · (11-13-2006, 07:50 AM)

Kinda cool

White Man · (11-13-2006, 07:51 AM)

Ugh, I see this movie is gonna be CGed up. LAME.

GG-Duo · (11-13-2006, 07:51 AM)

Homer-getting-hurt jokes = :-|

Rock-and-Hard Place joke = :-D

cautious optimism.

... unfortunately looks much more indicative of later Simpsons seasons then the golden era simpsons.

Of course I can't imagine a golden era Simpsons turned into a film spectacle.

The bastards should've made a futurama movie instead.

I hate you assholes!

You're right, Futurama is much better.

krypt0nian · (11-13-2006, 08:06 AM)

As much as I wanted this to be great, it looks as if there really is no hope for that..... =(

They're both dead. :/

GTFO!

Ceekus · (11-13-2006, 08:22 AM)

If you think the Simpsons died after season 7 then it appears as though you won't like this movie.

I'm still holding out a shrib of hope actually because it some of the classic writers are involved...It's just a trailer, after all; maybe it will surprise me.

But I'm not counting on it.

mac · (11-13-2006, 08:32 AM)

That took a long time to release.

I like!

Rlan · (11-13-2006, 08:43 AM)

download link?

G-Fex · (11-13-2006, 09:46 AM)

no thanks.

Futurama is coming back in 2008.

Regarding the Simpsons movie... I don't think it'll live up to the standards Seasons 1 (2, really. The first season was kind of a wash) through 9 (9 being the absolute last season that had some classic episodes that I'd count), much less the 2-7 stuff. Hopefully whoever's writing will remember that it's not supposed to be a cartoon, but I doubt that'll happen.

WordAssassin · (11-13-2006, 10:17 AM)

Futurama has been bought by Comedy Central, and new episodes will start airing in late 2007 or 2008, actually. So there's still hope!

WTF I posted mine like 15 minutes ago but thanks to fourum downtime Anihawk beats me by a minute.

AniHawk · (11-13-2006, 10:22 AM)

Huzzah!

Maxrpg · (11-13-2006, 10:27 AM)

The only funny part is the settling realization that the wrecking ball is gonna hit homer instead and he knows it.

buckfutter · (11-13-2006, 10:31 AM)

Confirms my worst fears. All of them, not just the Simpson's related ones.

Hyoushi · (11-13-2006, 10:45 AM)

marvelharvey · (11-13-2006, 10:52 AM)

After watching that trailer, I'll be rushing straight down to the cinema on it's release date... to watch Borat again.

LM4sure · (11-13-2006, 11:32 AM)

Good trailer. Not as funny as the bits I've seen previously, but good nonetheless. I will see this.

Do The Mario · (11-13-2006, 11:36 AM)

There was no funny in that trailer, oh god why?

I wish this is good but i don't think it will happen.

typhonsentra · (11-13-2006, 12:49 PM)

Aside from not being funny at all and the irony of using extensive 3D in the scene after proclaiming the movie is 2D, isn't it a huge insult to the dozens upon dozens of artists and animators who are working on this project to call the art "Ugly"?

GoutPatrol · (11-13-2006, 12:52 PM)

I thought the only good part was the bunny thing in the beginning.

Souldriver · (11-13-2006, 01:06 PM)

The only funny part was the little *tik* of the demolishing ball and the face of homer when he realises it's coming straight at him.
For the rest it was Homer being hurt, which I hear is very appreciated here at gaf.
I'm looking forward to the movie.

pnjtony · (11-13-2006, 01:18 PM)

It "LOOKS" like Futurama, but I could have sworn I saw Homer in it.

jett · (11-13-2006, 01:38 PM)

That was ****ing terrible. Like Dan said, the whole "LOLZ we are 2D, we rawk" *cuts away to lots of 3D shit* was just insulting my intelligence. **** off with your garbage Groening.

sky · (11-13-2006, 01:39 PM)

I didn't lol :(.

Overall though, I'm sure it will be fine.

kablooey · (11-13-2006, 01:45 PM)

Meh. :/

Meier · (11-13-2006, 02:53 PM)

Well, I've mad over 3 million bucks on it in HSX, so I'm all for a Simpsons movie! I'm undecided if I think it actually can make that much though since the ratings for the show havent been that great for quite awhile at this point.

Goldrusher · (11-13-2006, 02:57 PM)

I don't get it...first a random 3D scene, then Moe says it will be 2D, but then we get Futurama-esque 3D.

"The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" should've been the movie.
Every single line of text, every single frame of animation...was just perfect.

You know how many ignore lists you're on now because of that comment??

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

It would be insulting, if it weren't the plain truth and for the fact that they seem to revel in their craptitude.

They were talking about the art style itself. Even though the Simpson's Movie obviously uses computers and has "3D elements", it's 2D in style vs most other cartoon movies these days that have furry animals and semi-realistic environments.

Well so much for that.

*shrug*

I like it

Olivier · (11-13-2006, 04:16 PM)

Keep lowering my expectations guys, it'll only make the movie better.

I hope

Fireblend · (11-13-2006, 04:19 PM)

I lol'd at "A hard place" :P

I thought the same thing. I hope that scene isn't in the final movie, because it looks like what I thought it would - a 30-minute show stretched into a 90-minute movie.

There wasn't anything subtle about that trailer. I thought the whole "Simpsons Movie.... in 2D!" thing was kind of funny, even though they betrayed it a second later, but it's just a joke. The wrecking bit was really lame but I'll see the movie and enjoy it, I'm sure (I still enjoy the show don't ban me).
