How to Waste Time, part III

So now there's a Simpsons movie. I have to admit, the Simpsons were pretty funny in their day, but I kinda think the show jumped the shark years ago. A lot of people argue about when it started to decline -- I'd say it started when Barney went sober -- but the fact is that I haven't enjoyed watching the Simpson much in the last seven years.

However, I keep reading reviews that say The Simpson Movie is really quite decent. I guess I'll have to see it at some point, although I am definitely not paying money to see it in the theater. I can watch The Simpsons most of the day if I pick the right channels -- why would I want to spend $8.50 to see what's already always on TV?

Still, it's apparently worth some attention. I just discovered (via Trashley) that the movie website has, among other amusing distractions, a Simpsons avatar generator. So the picture at left is my attempt at making a Simpsons version of me. The site even lets you upload a photo of yourself and it will generate it for you, but I don't carry digital photos of myself around with me. Check out the Simpsons Avatar Generator and several other amusing games here.
