Nevertheless, I rolled over to the Galaxy for what turned out to be an utterly ridiculous movie. Lots of people have liked this film, which is too bad. Michael Bay has made some good movies. I rather liked The Island, although many didn't. And The Rock ... well, it rocked.
Transformers, though. Man, this movie was dumb. I can usually handle dumb, but it was needlessly boring, too, the unforgivable sin in a movie. For a big action movie, there wasn't enough action. For a movie about transforming robots, there weren't enough of them, nor did I ever get a good look at many of them. The villain of the movie didn't show himself until the last half hour. It was just boring.
Then this Sunday night, I repeated my ritual and went to a movie and 7, this time The Simpsons. I would love to say that it was absolutely priceless and incredible. But it wasn't. It was good, but it was hard not to wish for more. There were some truly wonderful moments, with some funny asides, good commentary, hilarious sight gags, and some pull-at-your-heartstrings moments between Marge and Homer, which somehow the show is always able to pull off.
I wish it had been better, but it was not bad at all.
After seeing Andrew Fry turn himself into a Simpson over at Living & Working in a Virtual World, I thought I'd try the process out on myself. This is me.
It's not bad. My bard really connects with my hair, but otherwise I'll take it. It's a cool bit of technology, though--as Andrew notes--is not easy to work with.
Who knew turning yourself into a Simpson could be so hard?

I'm totally seeing it. Good thing too, as Springfield needs good live theater. Nothing has been that good there since they did the musical of Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off. (my favorite song being "Rock Me Dr. Zaius".
I think I will add it to my Simpsonized collection.
Don't forget when they got Frank Gehry to build them a performing arts center that failed so miserably they turned it into a prison in "The Seven Beer Snitch." :)
