Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to my personal blog devoted to the upcoming movie extravaganza known as The Simpsons Movie. Can you all believe that it is coming to theaters in only 8 weeks?
This is the event I and all fans have been waiting for since the show became immensely popular. Of course, there has been many news about the movie already; but, in my opinion, a recap is always appreciated:

1. The plot of the movie is still quite under wraps; but judging from all the released trailers, the story is about an environmental crisis that occurs in Springfield as a result of one of Homer’s mistakes. The film should be including many of our favorite characters and hopefully, each will be given a chance to shine on silver screens across on the country on July 27th as well as all over the world! In short, this movie will be big!!!

2. According to an interview with series creators Matt Groening and James L. Brooks that was printed in an issue of Entertainment Weekly this past April, there will be two new characters; one human and one nonhuman.

3. It has also been officially announced that Green Day will be appearing in the movie as well as recording their own version of the Simpsons’ popular theme song. Now, while I do enjoy Green Day’s music, I am a little concerned about the idea that it is being released as a single. Suppose they add lyrics? Nevertheless, it is pretty cool that the band will be in the movie and I’m sure they will rock the house—or, should I say, the theaters!

I will try to update this blog as often as I can. In the meantime, enjoy the links below:
