You can tell they are devoting lots of resources to it already since you get a new Simpsons episode once every three weeks, if that, and you are lucky enough to see the promo for it on Sunday night right before the show airs!<BR/><BR/>South Park went through the same thing. The movie was great, and the show sufferred. It is only recently that they cut back on the episodes per year and put out some good stuff that really captured the publics' imagination. Simpsons, however, has already been on for half my life and they can't afford to take a few seasons to regroup, what with the already crappy way FOX leaks out new episodes.<BR/><BR/>Remember whaen Simpsons was all FOX had, and they put it on against the COSBY SHOW? They hyped it like no tomorrow. Cosby won in the sticks, and Simpsons won in the urban centers, but at that time the sticks were more powerful and Simpsons moved to Sunday night. Before they got NFL, MLB, NASCAR, (and even a little bit of HOCKEY!), FOX was built and saved by the Simpsons. Now the Simpsons get shit on, and it shows in the product. That it is still one of the best shows on tv is a mystery, and shame, for the rest of tv.EChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370991530176117837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158539128702864870.post-29399127187791757872007-04-12T11:29:00.000-04:002007-04-12T11:29:00.000-04:00To Radio Free G,Prime looks good as a stand alone ...To Radio Free G,<BR/><BR/>Prime looks good as a stand alone character. In fact, if this movie were about anything but Transformers, then I probably wouldn't have been negative at all.<BR/><BR/>However, they chose to call the movie Transformers, and they are not being faithful to the original series at all. Due to the mass consistency, Prime does not have a trailer for the entire movie. Just a wimpy truck cab driving around. How shit is that.<BR/><BR/>At least if Bay just came out and said "We changed the robots so we could sell toys" then I would still hate him, but just not for lying.<BR/><BR/>Sal:<BR/><BR/>Yes, some children of the '80s should have been hired as consultants. I saw someone's CGI of the original Prime transforming and it looked fantastic!<BR/><BR/>I would agree with you on the Simpsons, I think it will be way too long to enjoy properly. One candy bar is great, but 5 or 6 will make you sick. Everything in moderation.Soundwavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17778713539989861503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158539128702864870.post-61515934527912302782007-04-12T09:38:00.000-04:002007-04-12T09:38:00.000-04:00I feel your pain.

These guys should of hired a some 30 something director who's actually owned and PLAYED with a transformer.<BR/><BR/>This also brings another movie in to the picture, The Simpsons. I got this deep dark gut feeling it may sink as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158539128702864870.post-86961442908194659702007-04-11T11:43:00.000-04:002007-04-11T11:43:00.000-04:00Thanks, you may have saved me the cash of going to...Thanks, you may have saved me the cash of going to see this film. I must take issue with something, however. Prime does look really good. I mean REALLY good. His goodness is offset by the gigantic crap bucket that is Megatron. What the heck is he supposed to be? (He looks more like Galvatron, except he is not a big purple gun with an orange cannon. Fuck you Michael Bay!) <BR/><BR/>The only thing that can save this film is a good script, and if the people writing it care about the script as much and the people producing and designing the visuals, then all hope is lost. <BR/><BR/>As for the ALLSPARK, I believe that is from one of the TF: ENERGON, or TF: ARMADA, cartoon series. As soon as I read that word I know I heard it somewhere before.EChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370991530176117837noreply@blogger.com
