Wow, I must say I'm surprised. I didn't think anyone cared about the
Simpsons anymore. Check out all these boxoffice records (not factoring in
inflation)

Biggest Opening Weekend, Cartoon movie of a Cartoon TV series:
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie $32,018,216

Biggest Opening Weekend Wide Release, Traditionally animated movie:
The Lion King $40,888,194

All sailed pass. Did you know that "The Rugrats Movie" holds the record for
biggest overall U.S. boxoffice of a cartoon movie of a cartoon TV series, with
$100,138,851? "The Simpsons Movie" is poised to pass that as well.

I helped in seeing this movie on Sunday.

Were Sideshow Bob and Uter anywhere? I kept hoping that they'd show

I didn't notice them, but those were some very crowded crowd scenes that
I'll have to wait for the DVD release to 'see' in detail.

Wasn't there a "real" episode where we were looking at a quick
cross-section of items buried in the ground, and there was a spacecraft
(along with a buried treasure chest and other stuff)? Perhaps the one
where Bart fell in the well. At the time, I had the impression there was
something Kang-ish about it. Maybe a giant, one-eyed skeleton?

Myself, I laughed a lot. However, now I notice that the movie has
suffered a very big 2nd-weekend drop...

Yeah, I remember that shot. I always thought Kang and Kodos were 'real'

first weekend.

Meanwhile, Underdog flopped right out of the gate.

They're running TV ads showing 'bloopers' with the dog flubbing his
lines. "There's no need to fear, underwear is here!"

yeah. That's good stuff.
