They don't even have a gorge
So the good souls of Springfield, Minnesota have decided they want no part in a contest that declares the winner the official home of the Simpsons. They probably don't need thousands of Homer fans flocking there because the town's prime location in the middle of miles of cornfields in southwest Minnesota already has them overrun with tourists and their pesky dollars.
I really hope it doesn't suck. The Simpsons movie, I mean. I'm almost as big a Simpsons apologist as Morgan is for Mr. Lucas and his butchered prequels, but even I have to admit the quality of recent seasons has slipped. The movie almost surely will suffer from the same problem as the Seinfeld finale and Episode I: failure to live up to the incredible hype. I have hope that, unlike the two cited examples, The Simpsons movie at least will be decent and not a horrid, legacy-staining turd.

Any chance you could make a trip East to watch this in the theater with my husband so I don't have to?

For shame, Betsy. Chris is a loving, nurturing life partner, and the least you could do is occasionally treat him to cinematic nuggets of joy like the Reno 911 movie or "Beerfest."

I have to admit I'm pretty wary about the movie. I want it to be like a really good episode (and I've noticed slippage this season), not like a big over-the-top ordeal that fails miserably.
