The Simpsons have been a letdown since season 9.
I don't understand how Springfield can be in Vermont: Wouldn't that mean "Moe'N'A Lisa" (#HABF19 / SI-1719 ) never happened?
"Lisa feels sorry for Moe after Homer forgets that he offered to take him fishing for his birthday, so she decides to write a school report about him, and in the process discovers his written rantings can be turned into poetry; Lisa gets them published and Moe is invited to a writers' conference in Vermont, but when he discovers that anyone who claims they needed help in writing is shunned, he takes all of the credit for his success" --SNPP
If you care, some other debunkings:
"Evelyn won't anything unless it's shipped overnight from Vermont or Washington state, implying Springfield is in neither of these two states."
This screenshot supposedly shows Lisa pointing to the city of Springfield (with her arm obscured by Bart's head). But look at Vermont!
Posted by Matt Bruce at July 12, 2007 02:01 PMAll real locations are clearly impossible. Springfield was never supposed to be in a real state. And they already said where Springfield was at the end of the "Behind the Laughter" episode. Or, rather, they gave several official answers - likely as an attempt at ending the running joke that had been drawn too thin.
But at any rate... I don't know what to think of the movie finally coming out. I was rather excited for it until that article made me think about it, though.
I really need to get a backbone with respect to not seeing movies I expect to be crappy. Not that The Simpsons: The Movie would be the worst offender.
