I've been seeing a lot of ads lately for the Simpsons movie. Things are not looking promising. The jokes in the previews are lame, including referencing two other popular summer movies (Spider-Man and Harry Potter) in an effort to garner more widespread appeal. My secret hope is that the worst jokes they put in the ads because they have the greatest chance to appeal to a wide audience, but I'm not very hopeful.
If maybe the Simpsons had made a movie about seven years ago, it'd be great. But it's a little too late for that, needless to say. I don't know why the Simpsons has been so mediocre these recent years, but I'm willing to guess it's simply because they've run out of material. That, or the writing staff has cycled to crappier and crappier members.
I could be wrong. I'll probably see it anyway.
