Look Out! He is a Spider Pig...

Spider Pig...Spider Pig...that is one tune that you won't be able to get off your head once you have watched The Simpsons Movie. I caught this movie at Cineleisure after the CIMB Malaysian Open Squash Championships 2007 finals at The Curve on Saturday. It turned out to be one of the funniest movies I've seen all my life.

Full of gags, jokes and familiar characters and sights and sounds from the TV series, the movie had the entire cinema hall laughing, cheering and even clapping and it was almost a laugh-a-minute roller coaster ride with Homer and family. Bart's attire-less skateboarding sequence drew hoots... :P

The series kind of translates well from being 30 minutes per episode to a feature length movie and it doesn't disappoint. The 2D animation is retained and the writting is as funny as ever. So go catch the movie, otherwise it's D'oh! to you.

Homer: Mmm...A Statue of Me! Found!

D'oh! Homer Simpson is no longer MIA (refer to my post here). Funny though, that I didn't see any notice of his recovery in any of the local English dailies that I read, but Google is there for a reason, no? In any case, I like how some of the articles mention that the theft was done by two college students who are "over-exuberant" fans of the series.

Well, over-exuberance is no excuse for innate stupidity, which probably is why they chose Homer in the first place (sorry bout that Homey, I'm a fan too :P). So D'oh! to the two of you.

Anyways, wonder what Homer usually says following the phrase Mmm...? Check out this fan-site (click here)! Mmm....Fan Siteeeeee...

OMG... Homer Simpson Has Been Kidnapped From One Utama!

Fans of The Simpsons would be disappointed/shocked to hear that a life-sized statue of Homer Simpson has been stolen from GSC One Utama. I even helped take a picture of a friend with Homer not too long ago when Homer, along with the rest of the Simpsons family were in a Cinemaonline exhibit (also at 1U).

To the chaps that stole Homer, you have been caught on CCTV and your actions have been published in an English daily with nationwide readership (picture below). You won't be able to show the statue to anyone without the risk of them knowing that it is stolen, nor do I think you'll be dumb enough to sell it on Lelong or Ebay, so do return it!
