I fit right in....
Marge and Sophia - separated at birth?Saw the Simpson's movie on opening night. There was a big crowd with a mix of locals and expats. The Simpson's is on here but I'm not sure what time, what night or what season.
I give the movie a 7. It was classic Simpson's but not exponentially better then the tv show. Homer even makes fun of the people dumb enough to pay to see a movie of something you can see free on tv.
The crowd also seemed to enjoy it. Two observations about the difference between a Singapore and US crowd are 1) Spore people are all on the phone and sending and receiving text message up to and during the movie. Not just a few people but about 1/3 of the crowd. 2) There are a lot of US centric things that Sophia and I laughed at but no one else did - Itchy and Scratchy on the moon and the scenes in the Oval Office, Chief Wiggum saying "they're China's problem now" when the family jumps into a sink hole, when leaving Alaska Homer says, "good to be back in the USA!". These jokes all fell flat.
Anyway, as the New York Times reviewer said - "It was a better then average Simpson's episode so maybe I will only watch it about 20 or 30 more times".
