I finally got the see the Simpsons movie yesternight, and man is it something. Very cool. Very, very cool. I liked. Lots of nice little references (did you catch the ambulance at Springfield Gorge?), nice sentimental moments, and it was so much fun to see all the "ol' friends". Such a pity that the late, great Troy McLure couldn't be around. Still, everybody else gets an appearance (did you notice that bum who created Itchy and Scratchy in the crowd heading towards the Simpson's house?), and there's plenty of good laughs to go around.
Watching it in the theatre was a fun experience unto itself, with huge rolls of laughter at some of the jokes. My seat was right between two couples: the one on my left would laugh along with the crowd - and seemed particularly amused at the cartoon violence, and the one on my right - two women - would rather oddly "ooh" and "*gasp*!" every time something violent happened to someone, which - considering that this is the Simpsons - happened very frequently. That was particularly brilliant: Scratchy is hugely engorged by a flotilla of missles, everybody laughs, the lady one place to my right goes "oooh!". Totally brought a huge new perspective to the show!
It's also reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who saw traces of NGE in the movie. Must watch Ratatouille when it comes out - they were showing a trailer, I swear you can see each and every hair. The rendering, the colours, the perspectives are all fantastic. If that acting is anything comparable, they'll really have a classic there.

"A beach house," he said, "doesn't even have to be on the beach. Though the best ones are. We all like to congregate," he went on, "at boundary conditions". "Really?" said Arthur. "Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
