Cool idea Eddie!

It's always fun when a website offers this type of service (like the M&M one). I saw the movie Friday and loved it! It's already made $70 mil in its first weekend, which is incredibly impressive because: 1) it's a cartoon, 2) a 2-D cartoon no less 3) it opened on a Friday, unlike Transformers and other summer movies this year. I'm sure there will be a sequel.

I have to eat some foot here. I really didnt think it would do anywhere near as well as it did. I thought the show wasn't as popular as it was, and the advertising has been so oversaturated it made me harken for the days of Batman(1989). I was totally wrong.

You're right about the Batman comparison. Since the Simpsons have been around for 18 years, everyone already knows about them so marketing had to be approached differently. Having the show on the air everyday is free advertising, so they could afford to do other things, like the Kwik-E-Mart experience. They had to keep the movie away from critics, not because the movie was bad, but because they didn't want the plot leaked and the jokes ruined. There was a time when The Simpsons went through an embarrassing phase ("Do the Bartman" says it all). But I guess it evolved into something better and more timeless. I still enjoy the show but refuse to buy the DVDs. It's on like twice a day so why bother paying for it?

The budget for the movie was $75 mil and the animation really looks stellar. You get to see every single resident of Springfield, it's awesome.

You know i've never really watched the simpsons. Only a few episodes in last years english class(College class) Our instructor says it has educational value

But TV in class beats work any day. But i never watch it on TV....

Wouldnt you think the Simpsons movies's extreme advertising is right where it should be, seeing as the simpsons plays fun on things that happen in modern times, Such as big movies with lots of advertising. So it would only be right they do big advertising times 2 to make it that more extreme.

But just my opinion....
