With Matt & Heather's wedding taking up the bulk of last weekend, I had to wait until today to go see The Simpsons Movie. I might have wanted to wait a little longer. You see, not once, but twice during the showing at the theater by the Micros Center on 75, the power went out due to thunderstorms. The final time, we were alerted that it may be several hours before power was restored. So, despite the chalkboard gag's admonishment, I may be downloading the movie to watch the rest.UPDATE
The theater gave out vouchers, so I finally got to see the final few minutes of the movie. And, like they've been doing for two decades, The Simpsons deliver. But, as is the way of The Simpsons, there are few belly laughs -- merely a cavalcade of titters, smirks and snortgles. I did snort-laugh once, though. The story dragged a little in parts and there was not nearly enough of Mr. Burns. But besides that this is a finely crafted animated movie in every aspect of the medium. The animation is stunning especially compared to the early days. And the story is more than just an episode stretched to 90 minutes.
So - 0 breasts, 1 penis, excessive pig excrement, mouse-fu, huskey-fu
King Wally says check it out.
