The Simpsons Movie

Ha, I thought the exact same thing, too!

Although, I remember reading somewhere, that Spider-Pig had a scene at the end, but it got cut out and its gonna end up on the DVD. Dunno if it was true, we'll just have to wait and see. I could easily picture it being what you said though, Meg!

But if it's just for the movie...then, what!?

It's just changing one word in the regular Spider-Man theme...

Well, technically they also made up the line: "Can he swing/from a web/no he can't/he's a pig!"

First post movie opening sequence

Nice that they're leading off the end of the movie. I wonder if the episode will continue the rebuilding and then run as normal from the following week?

Darn...there's that Spider-Pig thing again. They're really picked up on that as an audience favorite. It <I>was</I> funny, but I still don't get the overpraising this little bit of the film is getting.

Just shows how maybe average the rest of it was?

Who does? Most trailers and tv spots showed it, so before you saw the movie, you knew about spider-pig.
Then in the movie itself, they included that whole chorus version.
Its a sing along, a very simple tune that sticks with ya.

Nope, just the opening sequence. It's a shame, that would have been interesting.

This is why I didn't say what the couch gag was earlier, as to not spoil the surprise. By which, I mean Plopper!! Yay! I love how Homer said "my summer love".

So cute!

I hope Plopper, along with Collin, make cameos when the real 19th season starts. (The latter is, I think. The former I'm just hoping for!)

Ha!

That's so adorable.

Yeah, I love Colin. I love how he wrote the song for Lisa. (BTW did anyone notice that those notes were also a musical motif throughout the film?)

Lisa: Is your father--
Colin: He's not Bono!

I probably did, but I vaguely remember. It was a real sweet scene, though.

Btw, what does everyone think of the early cover art for the Simpsons Movie DVD? I like it, but its a little bland. But hey, at least it has Plopper.

"the features sound fun... until they release the 2-disc Ultra Edition next March."

...with a better cover.

Seriously, now I'm actually starting to hate the pig thing. They really need to put that on the cover?

As one wag puts it:

"Fox will do a 2-Disc collector's edition within the next 12 months. Then it will be re-released for a third time in steelbook... then a fourth time with a holofoil cover... then maybe a fifth time in an unrated cut which features the extended version of the Spider-Pig song which has become ridiculously popular and is probably a sign of the looming apocalypse."

I think having Plopper on the cover is ok, but having him on the spine is overkill.

Your two quotes are so true, though.

The Plopper's picture in the cover is a sticker. Plopper will not be on the cover, too bad.

I'd like better the roof poster for the cover of the DVD.

Oh, is it a sticker? Heh, thanks for the correction. By roof poster, do you mean this one?:

Yeah, I like this one more, too.

Btw, welcome, K3vin! I love your "24 Minutes"/Bart avatar.

Welcome to the boards K3vin.

I quite like the current cover art, except for Spider Pig.
I don't dispise Plopper like Ben does but having him on the cover like that is a little too much.
Btw, Spider Pig might be a sticker on the front but he's still permanenty featured on the spine.

Post by **Daniel** » October 1st, 2007, 7:32 pm

Which is fine by me.

With all the Simpson season sets already depicting the whole family, having Plopper on the movies DVD spine will make it stick out more.
