The Simpsons Movie Genny: 1 Johnbobb: 4 Red: 4 Stifled: 5 Charon: 5 Snake: 7 Scarlet: 7 Karo: 9 Inviso: 10 JONA: 19 Total Score: 71 Genny: This is the final movie charon and I watched for the ranking and I'm glad we saved it for last because to me it was the best. I have personally never cared for the Simpsons, not the family, and not the show. I thought the occasional couch gag I would watch on YouTube was pretty entertaining, but something turned me against it long ago. But man this movie had me reevaluating that decision. I found myself laughing, sympathizing with characters I thought I disliked, and moreso than any other movie on this list I found myself entertained the whole time. My whole world view has been rocked. Johnbobb: Fun fact: I saw this in theaters on my 14th birthday. And like every other 14-year-old in 2007 I was super into Green Day, so their cameo was (and still is, really) one of the most memorable moments in the movie. Thats saying quite a bit, because there are tons of memorable moments, which I think is largely what they were going for, and you know what? It works. If for whatever reason I find myself thinking I want to watch a movie based on a TV show Im not gonna go for what I think will have the absolute most compelling plot, or Ill be disappointed. Ill think I want to see Flanders make that awesome hot chocolate or I want to see President Schwarzenegger and happily recall a time when that was the most ridiculous thing we could imagine. Where was I? Oh, good movie. Red: The Simpsons Movie came out a few years after I dropped the show, but hits mostly familiar territory and does a few good things(Getting the voice of the dude that was Hank Scorpio to be the villain was an obvious but excellent decision). When the Simpsons draws on its fairly large cast to cause interesting interactions, its good. When it takes the Simpsons off to Alaska to make Homer have an epiphany that was already painfully obvious...its bad. As someone that used to watch the show pretty regularly for a good chunk of my life, I had always found the movie to be decent. Maybe not quite movie quality(It definitely feels like 3ish episodes strung together), but at the very least not too bad. Stifled: I admit I was surprised at how high I placed this one. I watched it roughly ten years ago and it didnt leave a strong impression. Going into this list, I predicted maybe 15 or 16 at best. But upon rewatching it with Travis, I came to appreciate it. The jokes were actually quite good. The scope of the problem was surprisingly large, consider Homer regularly destroys the town in the show. The only thing I was put off by was Barts dick. Maybe Im just getting weird since I have a kid now, but that crap is gross and unnecessary, cartoon character or not. Gokus kid shlong pops out a lot in Dragon Ball too and Im not a fan of that either. On the opposite side of that coin, however, the bountiful penis joke was solid gold so I guess it was worth it. The Disney sex animal joke was great. Ralph was on fire whenever he was on the screen. The Green Day and Tom Hanks cameos were pretty great. Even Lisa entertained me and I usually find her annoying. That Bart punch was crazy! Traviss Opinion: Travis opted to tune The Simpsons out completely and watch a show called Toms Car Wash on Mommys tablet. Admittedly I really like Tom, but still!
