So I processed one of the Simpson Movie trailers and I now have this new Spider Pig MP3 as my ringtone… Cool!

Three days to go!

This trailer for Transformers particularly whets the appetite…

The song Homer sings appears in various forms throughout the film. My previous Spider Pig MP3 didn’t have the middle section asking whether Spider Pig can swing from a web. So this morning I got another sound clip from the movie (again using vixy.net & YouTube) and made this (using Audacity) – the new full Spider Pig MP3!

It was like a Simpsons TV episode over an hour and a half, rather than some meddled with nonsense that so many movies-from-tv programs are. I may go and see it again, because there were so many favourite bits I can’t recall which one was the best and it’s somehow important to know such things. I’ll certainly buy it on DVD. Most of all though, it wasn’t a disappointment. It was exactly how I had expected and hoped a Simpsons movie would be, and I’m grateful for that. Well done Mr. Groening and friends…

In other news, I am apparently most like Comic Book Guy. Thanks.

Better news is that the number of visitors to my site has increased ten-fold due simply due to the world’s love of Spider Pig. I didn’t realise that this post would have such an impact, but I like the fact that it has.

I’ll post something not about The Simpsons soon. Honest.
