Two Thumbs Down

Last night, Mrs Dot Co Dot Il and I watched the Simpsons movie. I can't tell you how disappointing it was. Stale, one-dimensional, flat, uninspiring and dull are just some of the things which come to mind.
Too much of the movie was focused around the idiocy of Homer who when he gets like that, is a terribly unsympathetic character. I don't understand how this movie can do so well from at the box office.

For mind, the environment is a ridiculous notion to base the movie around notwithstanding the fact that it has been done several times before by the show and as early as the second season.
Your thoughts? Anyone actually like it?

Hi. My name is Eugene Gershin. I'd like to welcome you to Obadiah Shoher's blog, Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict.

Obadiah is a pen name of a politician. He writes extremely controversial articles about Israel, the Middle East politics, and terrorism.

Obadiah advocates political rationalism instead of moralizing. He is economic liberal and political conservative.

Google refused advertising our site and Amazon deleted reviews of Obadiah's book. Nevertheless, Obadiah’s is the largest Jewish personal blog, read by more than 100,000 people monthly. 210,000 people from 81 countries downloaded Obadiah’s book. The blog was voted the best overall in People’s Choice: Jewish and Israeli blogs Awards, received Webby Honoree and other awards.

Please help us spread Obadiah's message, and mention the blog in one of your posts, or link to us. We would greatly appreciate your comments at www.samsonblinded.org/blog



Best wishes,

Eugene Gershin

I liked it. It was one long episode, and that's what I expected and it's all I wanted. I don't think there is much they could have done if they wanted to change the premise of the 'episode' and still have their fans love it. Most diehard fans I've asked loved it...

i stopped watching all the new simpsons episodes...they just stopped being funny to me. it just kept getting more and more slap-stick and not making anymore sense. at least at the beginning you could understand the plotline...

I loved it. Yes, I stand out from the masses, but I think it was great. Sure 'it was just a long episode', but what else did we expect?

I thought it was stupid. I'm generally a Simpson's fan, but I didn't care for the movie. Oh well.

I haven't seen it yet; my son & new daughter-in-law are visiting from Israel (via another state); maybe we'll rent it.
Btw - would you visit my blog, and let me know if you would like to link it on your blogroll(you can browse around to different posts to see the general tenor of the blog)? It will be reciprocal if you do, of course.
