If They Did It

Ever since The Simpsons became a household name, Fox has been working to spin the show off into a lucrative flim franchise. Creator Matt Groening held out, knowing Hollywood script hacks would deal a death blow to the show's one-of-a-kind creativity. Nearly two decades later, and only about a decade too late, The Simpsons movie is finally a reality. Hard-core fans have permitted themselves mild excitement, hoping against hope that the movie will actually be closer to the Conan O'Brien-fueled genius years than the recent, slapsticky mediocrity. Now, Fox has released the trailer for this summer's release and the verdict is....eh. I'm not saying it looks as bad as some of the recent seasons, but if these are the funniest parts, well, consider The Simpsons murdered.
