The Simpsons

By Erik Davis The greatest thing about last night's premiere episode of The Simpsons was just how current and fanboy-ish it was, and that's because it was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad), the former of which also voiced the character of Homer's Hollywood trainer. But perhaps the bes...

By Eric D. Snider Filed under: Music & Musicals, Fandom, Comic/Superhero/GeekWhat do Hellboy 2 (on DVD this week) and Milk (in theaters Nov. 26) have in common, aside from flamboyantly controversial main characters? Musical scores by Danny Elfman, that's what.

By Erik Davis For those that have already seen this, you could probably disregard, but I caught this for the first time yesterday and thought it was worthy of your attention. With the Toronto International Film Festival in full swing (have you checked out our coverage yet?), movie news is pretty scarce....

By Kevin Polowy Psst. We had another impressive turnout for last week's Insert Caption contest for The Simpsons Movie, with entries from 175 folks. That's like three times the population of Springfield. We recommend the read for a deeper insight into the link between bestiality and bacon (mmmm). Congrats...

By Erik Davis Heading into The Simpsons Movie I'll admit that it would've been pretty tough to find someone more skeptical than I was. For me (as well as a lot of people), the long-running television series had lost its touch in the past few years. South Park and Family Guy were continually pushing the anim...

By Scott Weinberg Filed under: Animation, Comedy, 20th Century Fox, Remakes and SequelsWith The Simpsons Movie (finally) about to make its appearance, a few eyes have turned toward that other animated Fox series, and the new question seems to be this? Will Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy ever hit the silve...

By Patrick Walsh I have to disagree with Vij about Apu being crude and racist. If anything, he's one of the more intelligent and positive presences in Springfield, and I find the author's comparisons of Apu to "minstrel shows" and "Jim Crow America" to be really pushing it.

By Erik Davis Have you always dreamed of landing a guest spot on The Simpsons? Have you wondered what you would look like as a resident of Springfield? Well, thanks to the glorious thing that is movie marketing, you can now create your own Simpsons character (based on you or someone you know) and show it o...

By Erik Davis I'm sure there's a ton of you disgruntled Simpsons fans out there who hate Family Guy because, as you see it, the show steals everything from Springfield. That may be the case (and some go to great lengths to prove this theory), however, I happen to be one of those guys who digs both shows. Yup, I...

By Erik Davis Ever since I was a small boy knocking over convenience stores in order to supply my imaginary pet dragon with enough food for it to survive at least one more day, I've been a fan of The Simpsons. I became addicted during those Tracey Ullman days -- trying to find ways to shoot those mini episode...
