I’ve never really been a devoted Simpsons fan. I’ll watch it when it’s on, but I don’t go out of my way to see it. One of my fears was that the Simpsons movie would be full of in-jokes, but I was happily surprised. Where most movies made from cartoons have failed, the Simpsons Movie has enough plot for a movie, instead of feeling like an episode that’s gone on way too long.

Without giving too much away, the scene where the churchgoers and bar patrons switch buildings with each other is probably my favorite – and I’m going to be using the EPA chief’s "mad with power" line at work soon.

I wanted to like this movie. Really, I did. I’ve been a huge fan of South Park for years, but I should have known better. The only movie that Matt and Trey made that I’ve liked was the South Park movie.

Sure, there’s a lot of obscene language. Sure, there’s puppet sex. And lots of jabs at actors, terrorists, the US, etc. etc. etc. None of it is particularly funny. South Park thrives on its biting satire and social commentary – Team America has overblown theme songs and explosions instead.

I didn’t totally dislike the movie – it has its moments. Kim Jong Il is probably the best character in the movie, and I love his song about being "ronery". Still, I’m glad I didn’t see it in the theater, and I almost want my $2.99 rental fee back.

I already watch almost every movie I buy on my iPhone, (thanks to Handbrake) so downloading movies is a logical nest step for me. And, in an effort to keep posts coming on a semi-regular basis, I thought I might as well start putting up some reviews of the movies I rent.

Movie reviews, coming soon. Because the Internet needs yet another uneducated moron reviewing things.
