The Simpsons Movie

So, only three and a half weeks or so until America finally reaches its cultural climax and the Simpsons movie opens. Fans have been speculating for nearly 30 years now as to what might happen in the Simpsons movie. Many rumors have been shot down, but there are still some floating out there... The following is a list that the creators of the movie have either confirmed, or can neither confirm nor deny:

  • Homer's stomach stapling
  • Homer BBQs Marge/Bart/Maggie/Lisa
  • Maude Flanders rising from the dead to declare that there really is no God
  • Flanders revealing he is Pagan and ritualistically sacrificing the Simpsons, or Springfield
  • Bart getting a stuffed tiger that only he can see is real
  • A cliffhanger setting the stage for another 15 year SEQUEL SERIES. Probably based on Sideshow Bob, as played by Kelsey Grammar.
  • Bart being surrounded by the military, revealing the existance of aliens from Melmac
  • Bart and Lisa finally get married Or alternatively, Bart leaves Lisa for Milhouse at the last second
  • Mr. Burns DIES of old age. (Mr. Burns can't die!!!)
  • Barney reveals that since quitting drinking, he has taken up heroine, gets bart hooked, who kills Lisa for drug money, sending bart into a spiral of degeneration that only ends in Bart apologizing at Lisa's grave so Marge bakes him cupcakes only to have Homer eat them all. They laugh, Iris out.
  • They just act out The Incredibles or M*A*S*H but starring characters from the Simpsons instead.
  • Ever see Wacky Delly? (Think Rocko's Modern Life.) It's going to be just like that.

At least fans can speculat what's going to happen as based on the track list from the film's soundtrack.

I also hear Tim Burton is going to do a live Action remake of the film late in 2011. I can't wait for this version, as I hear Christopher Walken will be playing Homer, Dane Cook as Bart, Christopher Meloni as Mr. Burns and Sean Hayes as Smithers!
