The Simpsons make the transition to the big screen a couple weeks from now (July 27th to be exact) and we have to say that we're not as psyched for the feature film as much as we would have been, say, ten years ago. Now that the show is approaching its (dear god) 19th season, it's just not as good as it used to be. Yeah yeah yeah, that's totally a crotchety old man cop-out and the same could be said about "kids these days" and "their infernal noise," but somewhere along the way, the Simpsons veered from uber-literate scripts with witty storylines that were ironical and satirical, yet still cohesive and emotionally sound to the utter nonsense which can only be derived from a brick of hash, a pound of vicodin, and the Random Plot-o-tron 3000™. The result? Homer becomes Defense Secretary! The Simpsons go to Siberia! Bart gets monkey pox! All of which can be so tiringly hit or miss.
That being said, even if The Simpsons is running on fumes, it's still one of the best shows ever. And yeah, we're still kinda excited to see what Groening can do with a full 87 minutes, though we won't be at Cinerama opening night with all the real-life Comic Book Guys. Get yourself pumped for the movie by entering to win a Simpsons prize pack, including assorted swag (posters, magnets) and, as seen above, the limited edition Simpsons Movie soundtrack in completely appropriate donut packaging. The movie may very well end up being disappointing, but everybody knows that donuts are forever.
