Meet The Simpsons

If you'd told me that I'd have spent an enjoyable hour and a half watching the Simpsons ( and paying ten bucks ), I'd have snorted and laughed. Homer Simpson would probably have given a signature D'oh in reply!

Still the boys had voted nearly unanimously and I fell in easily with their plans. Glad I did though. Sure the movie is just an extended version of the regular TV series but hell, we all know the Simpsons are a barrel of fun. And terribly gay-friendly as well judging by the endless hilarious references in the movie ( including two amorous cops who end up tussling ala Brokeback Mountain into a sleazy motel ).

And who can forget the quietly adorable Waylon Smithers, sycophantic personal assistant to Mr Burns, the demonic tycoon of Springfield. Ah the love that dare not speak its name.


But of course none as oddly humorous as my Charming Calvin. You see, the reticent fellow failed to remind us that there was a short skit at the end of the credits where the Simpsons family sat down to actually watch their own movie.

Paul : Should have stopped us from running out of the cinema!
Calvin : How!?
Paul : Just tell us before we leave.
Calvin : You are unstoppable. Do you think I just met you yesterday?

Gosh. I sound like a freakin' force of nature.
