"Simpsons: The (Shamelessly Left-Wing Propaganda) Movie".

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2007)

The Greenday, sorry... the Green House Effect; the U.S. gov't is evil; Democrats to power!; Capitalism is evil; corporations and CEOs are all Fascists; All Hail Che Guevara and Joseph Stalin!... So what else is new in the extreme Left-wing Simpsons universe? Absolutely nothing. Except maybe that politics never played such a large role as in their redundant theatrical release. That fat charlatanic clown Michael Moore must be proud.
(Btw, they ARE right (sorry... left) about one thing: only morons would pay to see what you get for free on TV. I watched this for free so I'm in the clear.)
Let's start with direct quotes
"This gov't has lost its credibility so now it's borrowing some of mine". - Tom Hanks. Just what credibility has Hanks the do-goodering hypocrite have? Credibility as a dumb Hollywood actor? Two Oscars for playing dullards in very bad movies? Or maybe they refer to his credibility of agreeing to star in a thriller based on a book which made up a plethora of fallacious historical claims? ("The Da Vinci Code", of course.)
"Finally the white rich man is in control again". - Mr. Burns. This sounds like Michael Moore's "Dumb White Men" book title. What's this superiority complex that these Marxist American white men have? They are apparently the "noble" white men - a minority, but of course - while all these multitudes of right-winging and centrist white people (yes, even centrists are labeled as "Fascists" by these clueless arrogant buffoons) are all supposed to be money-hungry racists who destroy the environment. Matt Groening and his merry band of rich middle-aged douche-bag hippies seem to forget that it's the Communist nations and other countries with dictatorships that pollute the environment by far the most. So who should be in control then, according to these Maoists? Should the U.S. have a Congress made up of 500 blacks and American Indians and 3 white women? Is that the point here? Laughable... "The evil white man". I don't even know how to call this?... "Auto-racism"? "Self-racism"? It's so absurd it's almost funny.
"America: where any man can make quick money with no questions asked". - Homer. This is actually a good point. For example: any Hollywood producer can put together a Left-wing propaganda movie, using millions of "dollarinos", make false claims and spread slander about various gov't institutions and other issues - all in the name of "satire", but of course - and then release that trash onto millions of gullible, semi-educated viewers AND MAKE TONS OF MONEY. What hypocrites these left-wing, RICH, morons are. Mighty rich, coming from these stinking rich, decadent, drug-happy Hollywood writers! It's precisely America's freedom that allows Hollywood to spread its Leftist anti-U.S. propaganda in the first place... Should be a hit in France...
"I am the mascot of an evil corporation". - Bart. Yet ANOTHER stab at corporations, one of about a dozen in this "Battleship Potemkin" sequel... Matt Groening, a rather fat man, is a consumer, just like the rest of us, yet he hates all these corporations... Does he even know why? Probably not. Too much pot over the decades has softened his head somewhat.
"It's not like the U.S. gov't is listening to everyone's conversation". An obvious nod to Bush's new anti-terrorism laws, which the Leftists so oppose, simply because to them terrorists barely even exist - and isn't it Bush anyway who, according to them, caused 9/11? Jesus... This movie is so full of such blatant anti-Bush/Republican propaganda, I wonder why they dimply didn't release this overly long political cartoon in October 2008, just before the U.S. elections?
"The gov't actually found someone we're looking for". A nod to the current gov't's inability to find Bin Laden. Of course, as we ALL know, if Gore or Hillary were in power, Bin Laden would be found in a millisecond! This entire movie is so riddled with desperate liberal pleas for the masses to stop voting Republican, that it takes away so much from enjoying the actually quite solid humour. It is so full of Left-wing dogma that I almost wonder if Bin Laden and Sean Penn financed it... I'll have to check the end-credits again...
Already the beginning of this "movie" put me off. Green Day, of all bands, desecrating the main "Simpsons" melody?? Green Day are - ironically - a typical ultra-commercial product of EVIL MUSIC CORPORATIONS (this time I agree about the evil part...), consisting of three spoiled upper-class preppies, one of whom is even called Joseph Hickles Erland the Third (or st. like that), who pretend to play punk while they belt out their sorry pop tunes that even Burns's great-grandfather could move his feet to without missing a beat. Rich pseudo-punk rebel midgets who want to save the world like that egomaniac Bono? Gimme a break...
Matt Groening, Green Day, and Michael Moore are the "American Idiots" and "Dumb White Men" here. The irony here should make mountains shake - to the tune of a heavy, hard-rockin' Green Day... ballad.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...
Watching that semi-amusing segment in Homer's brain reminded of the typical mind of a self-deluded, denial-ridden, overly idealistic, smug Hollywood liberal: that kind of nonsense pretty much goes on in their heads, too. Should I even say it...? Yes: another painful irony.
This cute 80-minute political cartoon has a much stronger first half. Once the setting changes to Alaska, it's all downhill. Still, the level of the comedy in "Simpsons: the (Marxist View of Modern America) Movie" is far better than that of the last 10 or so seasons. After all, 17 years is far too long. That show is spent. If you want something funny AND intelligent, totally unpretentious (i.e. no annoying Lisa characters) watch "South Park". Unlike the "Simpsons" show, they're in their prime still...
