    Well, yeah it was really funny and a pretty decent movie, too. But i just didn't enjoy it as much as i should have because it was a lot different than the series.

    Its funny and thats what they were goin for so stop nitpicking at it and just enjoy it. As for the gay jokes, keep em coming they are funny and in my eyes true. But thats just me. Racial jokes are funny too.

    did anyone else find this movie a bit too, uh, "different" than the sereis? What i mean is, exactly when did they decide it would be good to make the Simpsons Movie, something simpsons fans have waited for 18 years or so, be about a town that gets trapped in a dome because Homer dumps pig sh*t in a lake. I did enjoy it, but i found that the plot seemed a bit empty and had several sexual, gay, racial, and just flat out offensive jokes used throughout, something i never really saw in the series nor did i expect to see in the movie.
