Or maybe you have. But we did get to see it on opening night, which here in Switzerland is a whole day earlier than in the US. International movie releases sure have come a long way since my Germany days, when films were released in the theaters long after they had gone to video in the US (note: video is what existed before DVDs. Remember?).
We had to shop around (online, about a week ago) to make sure we found a theater showing it in English, but luckily that wasn’t too difficult in Zurich. The Simpsons just isn’t the same in translation – in German, Homer says “nein!” instead of “d’oh!” That’s just not right.
The movie was pretty good. Lots of little inside jokes for those of us loyal fans who spent most of our twenties memorizing each and every episode. Stay put for the credits – lots of extra little funny bits are in there all the way until the bitter, pimply end. Oh, and before you see it, go play the games on the official movie website, and make yourself into a Simspons character (like I did).
Hello Jul -Just saying hello. I’m Daniela, a swiss girl, born in germany, raised in California, and now residing in Washington state. Hungry for Switzerland I found your blog a couple of months ago, and greatly enjoy it. New to doing my own, and it’s pretty raw still, but I’m having fun with it. Thanks for the fun musings and great photos Jul.

Hi Daniela – thanks for stopping by and saying such nice things about my blog! 🙂
I’ll check yours out! Watch out – blogging can be addictive.
I hope all the Simpsons fans are aware the Simpsons do live in Oregon. The creator, Oregon native Matt Groening said that today. Scott did run in a track meet at the high school in Springfield, OR.

D’oh! I’m uber-jealous! If I’m reallllly lucky it’ll make its way to Dresden in early ’08
I want to see it so bad. I’m so jealous. It’s out here in Lucerne, too, but we just can’t get a baby sitter 🙂
