Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

You can see from one of the articles that the season 26 episode where Kang and Kodos kidnap the Simpsons family to their home planet, was considered a movie idea a few years ago, and so was held back. I'm really glad they didn't go ahead and make a movie about this, because while this episode was a fun idea, I really don't like seeing Kang and Kodos outside of the non-canon THOH episodes. To make a movie on this would have been a waste.

I did still enjoy the movie for what it was. It came along when the show was past its prime and sure, it could've been better, but it was cool to see it finally happen and catch it at the cinema. There have been worse episodes of the show, and far worse movies that I've ended up watching.

I'd love to see all of the deleted material from the movie that wasn't on the DVD/Blu-ray (the scenes [MENTION=53378]Monty[/MENTION] mentioned above seem fun) but yeah, I don't think it's likely to happen despite trying to be positive about it.

In terms of a sequel, Al Jean has said that a sequel is still talked about, but he doesn't want to make another movie unless he believes it can be really great. (i.e: He doesn't want to cash-in and ruin the show he spent so much of his life doing.)

Talk show shoot out: After leaving Homer in Alaska, instead of going to Seattle, the rest of the family went to New York. There were scenes at Time Square aswell. Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie go on the talk show The View to tell the world about the government's plot to destroy Springfield. Russ Cargill surprises them, he is the guest star and him and his EPA team come in with machine guns. Then they start having a fight with Joy Behar.

Obviously, they released a couple of scenes on the DVD, but they said they cut three hours of finished material.

I also agree that for a movie based on such a hugely popular show, they underutilized the concept and had far too few of the classic locations and scenes there on top of not giving a ton of the secondary characters anything to say and/or do. I think that adding in several of the deleted scenes with the other characters (in completed form) without having the film feel overstuffed or bloated could fix this somewhat.

I didn't like the movie at all, but don't count physical media out just yet. There's still a very real and devoted market for Blu-Ray in particular, with a lot of special editions and the like being produced. Considering the recent releases of S18, I really don't think that a Blu of the movie packed with extras is out of the question or anything too implausible.

Another thing I want to add is; the idea of a dome covering the town is the perfect plot, because that means we're isolated from anything outside, meaning it's the perfect excuse to spend time seeing how recurring characters manage to deal with it. Sadly all they got were a few jokes every now and then, and Mr. Burns shutting off their power didn't matter in the slightest. They said it had to do with the "pacing" and in a way I can understand that, but still, I would've prefered a slow pacing. Hell, I even think the movie is kind of short, I'd love for it to be like 2 hours long lol.

I seriously think someone should start an online petition for the original, three-hour script content to be released, and also possibly any recordings or animatics they had done that didn't make the cut.

The scene after the Simpsons get out of the dome originally had a scene featuring Bart and Flanders seperating. Bart shows his love in a disturbing manner - by rudely mooning Flanders at first, but then pressing his ass cheeks against the dome glass, leaving a heart shape after pulling them off and running away with his family. Sweet music "da da da da..." included.

In fact, I'm pretty sure Al Jean or someone said that they have (or had anyway) a "jokes" folder of lines that have been cut from scripts over the years, but they never use it for the episodes because someone can generally come up with something fresher and newer.

Even if the Simpsons was in alaska, everyone else in town was stuck in the dome, meaning you can still have tons of scenes showing how they all cope with it. How is the school still run? Have the kids all started acting like savages etc?

It's par for the course with the Big Damn Movie approach (obligatory TV Tropes warning for that link). What a lot of people want is probably closer to a regular episode, only movie length, but the usual approach is to go for a bigger, far more epic plot that's way more dramatic and cinematic than usual. As such, a lot of the usual elements - locations, characters, jokes - that don't directly contribute to the story, or concern the main characters, are left on the cutting room floor (if indeed they're ever in the movie to begin with). It's a shame we couldn't have had a bit more of that stuff.

A lot of the stuff we didn't get sounds better than what we got. If the movie had most of the things listed there I would've been very satisfied with it. Only parts I didn't like was the hanging of Peter Griffin and Life in Hell rabbit appearance.

And a whooole bunch of recurring characters. I would've been fine with it if they just had one line, but a lot of them have none. Edna, Willie, Sideshow Bob from the top of my head. I believe the only thing Skinner says is "archers!".

I think you can pull that off and be big at the same time.

And anyway, it might just annoy them enough to take notice of it. That's always a plus right?

The quality of the deleted scenes isn't surprising. Even going back to the DVD sets for the classic era and watching the deleted scenes, apart from a couple of good scenes, or amusing bits trimmed off scenes that did make the cut, I feel like a lot of them were deleted for a reason. If nothing else, some of them just took away from the punchlines and humour of the scenes that made the cut, by making them run a little long.

but it looks like the "He's got to get over his fear of coffins." got recycled into Funeral for a Fiend. Seems that the film had more unused guest star scenes than the Michael Jackson trial (seriously why bother calling up people like Larry King or Kobe Bryant if you're not going to use them, why bother bringing in Kobe Bryan at all when he had nothing to do with MJ)

I love the part where they throw the bomb out of the dome and it comes back, bouncing off on the edges and when they ride down the glass shards and come across alot of landmark locations from the show. That was perfect. More of the film should have had that kind of pace.

This is The Simpsons though, I'm sure it would've been a box office hit no matter what. Besides, a couple of scenes at Moe's, the powerplant, Kwik-E-Mart or school wouldn't be a dealbreaker for non-Simpsons fans. Hell, they even felt the need to have Moe's sign say "Moe's bar" in case people who weren't fans didn't know what Moe's was :rolleyes:

The scene at the Kwik-e-Mart was funny. Also giving lines to other characters in the movie was a good idea. Krabappel, Apu and Otto don't get any lines in the Movie;

Yeah, they really should release some more material they have. It would probably be stuff more tailored toward the dedicated fans too. But movies have to appeal to the masses to be the most successful, so it makes sense why they might have cut stuff that we would’ve liked to stay in. That’s my biggest gripe about the movie as well: It doesn’t have enough nods to the Simpsons enthusiasts. Still, it’s a classic movie.

Also, it's revealed Police Officer Eddie is actually working for Fat Tony, and that mobster Louie is working for the Springfield Police Department.

In my opinion, I think it's great that Al Jean is refusing to cash-in on this one. I think they have full intentions on making another movie, but haven't found an idea worthy of doing a movie about.

Yes, that's been my exact complaint for years. Lack of recurring characters and locations for something that's supposed to be the ultimate Simpsons episode.

I love the movie and it's always fun to watch as you see a character you didn't expect in the background. However, I wish Brockman's reports stayed if only to give lines to Edna and Otto and to have more Apu, in addition to the Patty and Selma scenes. I mean, they are part of the Simpsons family. They deserve some type of line.

It's been a while since I complained about this since I really don't care, nor do I read the NHC a lot in general, but I do wish sometimes people would stay off of threads instead of posting just to be negative and act smug about it. I would be all up for a special edition of the movie. And I do think the Kwik-E-Mart and DMV scene should've been kept, as for what was supposed to be the ULTIMATE Simpsons experience somehow lacked scenes inside recurring locations. They're only in Moe's once, and it was for some joke, and Homer wasn't even there. Without the deleted scenes, I'm pretty sure they weren't in the Kwik-E-Mart at all besides the opening. No scene inside the school involving Skinner, Edna, Willie or Chalmers either... No Krusty Studios as far as I remember. Just the church, Simpson house and then like, the exterior of the town + Alaska.

And yea, I'm sure more of the masses are familiar with The Simpsons then people who aren't. Why cut it for some three year olds who will forget about this film soon after?

I guess it comes down to the choice of having The Simpsons being run out of town and fleeing to Alaska, rather than keeping the story within Springfield and by extension, the dome. If they'd avoided the plot point of "everyone turns on the Simpson family" (which is one I've admittedly never been too fond of) and just had the town band together against the EPA, they could've utilised the entire town a little better. Certainly, more supporting characters and familiar locations could've had a bigger role.

During the mob scene to kill the Simpsons family, Sideshow Bob was there and had a couple of lines.

And in general the Movie I think would have been better with this extra News report on the deterioration of Springfield.

Moe's Bar: There were more scenes at Moe's, where Barney drinks gallons of beer and burps really loudly.

There were two scenes with Sideshow Bob.

Feb 7, 2018

I can understand why they cut the fifth scene. It sorta breaks the rhythm of the movie again , and I don't think I like the idea of the townsfolk dead, since this film is canon. Then again, the dystopia and utopia joke was funny.

Moe serves Lenny, Carl and Barney replacements for beer.

Originally, the film had countless musical numbers. It didn't even end up having one, I didn't like that.

Unless they release original copies of The Simpsons Movie scripts, I doubt we'll ever see that three hours of material. And even so, that's very unlikely as whenever they were working on the movie, all scripts were shredded after a read-through, in order to make sure word never got out about the movie.

Another version of this includes, Bush knocking him out with a branch, and the line "Welcome to the executive branch!"

Krusty the Clown on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

if anyone cared about the simpsons movie maybe. But no one does so you're SOL

don't count on it

And to be honest, it displeases far more people than helps the case. The Simpsons might be called The Simpsons, but you might aswell have called the show Springfield, because that's what it really is.

Spingfield's state revealed: President Bush asks Cargill "Well, where the heck is Springfield?" - Cargill says "Kansas!"

In the Itchy & Scratchy movie in the beginning, the missiles fired by Itchy make the moon explode but Scratchy survives and floats in space. A cake with missiles as candles and the inscription "Congratulations, you survived!" floats towards him. He eats it and explodes and only his skeleton remains in space.

My guess is that the three hours of material was cut from an original script. I'm sure the jokes are kept somewhere, but I don't think they are holding them over to another movie. They'll want to come up with something fresh.

In the truck, Bart ends upstuck in a sarcophagus, Marge blames Homer for letting it happen to which Homer replies "He's got to get over his fear of coffins."

Burns shoulda got at least one more scene. Just one to explain why he cut off the electricity to the town.

And I really wanted to see Sideshow Bob, come on! Edna doesn't even have a line either. She would've if that Kwik-E-Mart scene wasn't deleted.
