“They also call you the Merchant of Death.”

“That’s better, actually.”

Fucking IRON MAN, baby.  Downey looks like he’s gonna ROCK it as Tony Stark.  I’m so there.

I have been DYING to see this movie all weekend, which should surprise no one who knows what a Simpsons fanatic I am, and I am happy to report that it lived up to the hype and then some.  Most importantly:  It was FUNNY.  Like, Simpsons of 7 or 8 years ago funny, a huge relief after a couple of seasons of crap.  They nailed all the jokes, had a GREAT Ralph Wiggum line, and even the plot was pretty good. 

Minor gripes:

- Not enough Burns and Smithers, although the tag during the credits brought the house down. 

- The middle portion drags a bit.

Other than that, no point in even giving away any of the great lines, because it’s all there to discover for yourself.  Spider-Pig, Bart’s naked skateboard adventure, Tom Hanks in an awesome cameo (”Ruffle my hair, Mr. Hanks!”), swearing, nudity, it’s got it all.  I shall see this one until I have it memorized, I’m sure.

And apparently lots of others shall, too, because it did $71 million over the weekend and nearly set a record for July.  I think this show might have a bit of a cult following, I dunno.  I hear they might spin off a TV version of the movie! 

Best. Movie.  Ever.
