A short look at the Simpsons Movie and some very strange musings.

Now, having had discovered that leaders are elected to lead, not read -and that pigs can climb ceilings; I must say that I enjoyed The Simpsons Movie in an almost obscene way. Seriously. Because it is a celebration of utter randomness, sheer stupidity and humour by the tonne.

The plot? Forget it. Can't bloody remember (vaguely recall something about the environment being mentioned though, and Greenday made an appearance...) but don't bloody care. One can't simply dwell on such mundane things when there are fat yellow men and blue-haired women (who, incidentally is also a shade of lurid yellow) talking, moving and making love that pollute innocent animals's minds.

Enter a celebrity with unshakeable credibility and throw in 8 sled dogs, Mr. Burns' hounds, a bomb, a dome and ta-da, The Simpson's Movie.

Though a word of caution: if you are one of those un-enlightened who live a dark-existence, who, incidentally, do not GET or ENJOY the humour of the Simpsons, then give this one a miss. This is for fans only.

I must say, if you are of the enlightened ones, from the minute the movie begins till it ends, you will be laughing, snorting, chuckling, roaring out loud or collapsing from over exertion. Trust me. Of course, like I always remind everyone I know, I am EASILY AMUSED. I laugh outrageously at anything and everything that takes a stab at humour. Seriously.

Though, in the end, a movie is only as good as the company; and if you must watch Simpsons, watch it with a friend who's sense of humour is as strange as yours. Or whose laugh is infectious enough.
