Warning: yellow creatures roaming town
Author: cc | Category: days of my life, needful thingsI sure have a habit of starting something and wondering away. There are a lot of unfinished posts in my folder. Anyway, here comes the much awaited post continued from the snippet posted a month ago. So much for the ‘coming soon’. Haha.
That’s right, laughters come in forms of little yellow fellows this season. As my previous snippet suggested, who could that be, other than the great and legendary characters, THE SIMPSONS! Yes, our yellow friends finally made it to the big screen. After months and months of agonizing anticipation, (not to mention the many repeated viewing of the previews) The Simpsons Movie is finally here, and I must say, the wait was most definitely worth it. It is the funniest movie! I highly recommend this hilarious movie, of course it is most rewarding to the Simpsons fans, but you’ll enjoy it even if you’re not an avid fan. Bottom line, this is the must-see movie of the year! Go watch it if you haven’t done so. 
We went to watch the movie the weekend it opened, in the all new Hoyts cinema at Sylvia Park shopping centre, which claims to have the biggest silver screen in the world. I’m sure that record will soon be beaten by the next big cinema somewhere around the world, but for now, we have the biggest here. OK then, as long we’re clear about that one. LOL. I don’t really care about the screen, but the seats sure are a lot more comfortable, with more leg spaces too! (not that my short stumps need that, but yeah for MR K!)
OK, enough of the useless details, I know most of you just jump straight to the pictures anyway. ;P
There’s a booth set up for photo session with the Simpsons family! (it’s been taken down now.) Some people kept going up to press the remote in homer’s hand. LOL.
Of course, the movie experience wouldn’t be complete without the special Simpsons combo, a huge tub of popcorn and a big cup of soda with a donut top! Woohoo! (May I add that a certain 31 year-old boy(!!) was giggling from ear to ear the moment he saw that).
After the movie, we stepped out only to be greeted by Bart and Homer! What a great surprise!
Of course a certain kiasu woman had to rush up to take a photo with them, though some annoying kids insisted to be in my photos. LOL.
For some reason, people kept walking up to Homer and poke his eyes. Haha.
We saw this Bart toaster in K-mart the other day. Some sucker almost wanted to bring it home. According to the said person, eating toasted bread from the special Bart toaster will make your day happy. ;P
Various merchandises in K-mart.
We did bring a piece of duff home, a duff beer bottle opener. Hehe.
FOOTNOTE: Watched Saw on DVD over the weekend. We bought the DVD long time ago but somehow manage to wait so long before watching it. Brilliant movie, one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve seen! Can’t wait to watch the 2 sequels.
By the way, should I be concern that of all the gory and psychotic scenes, all I could think about was how I wouldn’t want to be caught dead in that disgustingly scummy bathroom?!

CC, it’s been sometime since I’ve visited you. I’m having a lot of problem in commenting at most blogs. I’m unsure why. One reason Judy told me was that my comments seem to have been filed under spam! It was truly frustrating when I could not publish my comments in so many blogs, yours included. But not to worry though coz I’ve been reading as many as I possibly could without you guys realizing it.
I see you’re a Simpsons fan! Bought yourself many of their souvenirs?
CC: Hey, Ilene, how have you been? Yea, I was having a lot of problem with the blogger blog, that’s why I finally decided to jump ship. Glad to see you here again!
I managed to control myself and only get the one duff beer bottle opener. Hehe.

cc,
You’re truly a Simpson’s fans! haha! Now I know who’s coming to town. Not Santa Claus but the famous and the funniest, SIMPSONS!
I guess you enjoyed the movie a lot. And the special Simpsons combo, so nice! haha! How come Australia doesn’t have this kind of promotion ah? Maybe they have, just that, I’m not a movie kind of person…
CC: It’s all over TV, billboard, bookshop, supermarket ler, the only way you manage to not know about the movie is to stay under the rock for the past few months. Haha, joking. I guess you’re really not a movie person.

cc, I wanted to watch Simpsons but my daughter told me to watch Transformers first because of the effects.
She has seen Simpsons but hasn’t mentioned anything about it. Maybe I should go and watch it….when I get better.
CC: I’m not so interested in Transformers, though MR K is. I’m sure he will get the DVD when it comes out, so I’ll wait for that instead. Go and watch it when you get better. Get well soon ya!

I haven’t seen The Simpsons Movie yet and have no plan to watch it as well, LOL. I always find them annoying.
Love the colourful photos!!
(Gosh, you like SAW? I like horror/thriller movies but am not into torturing painful scenes!)
CC: I’m not too fond of the gory scenes but the storyline is brilliant!

cc,
I’m not living under the rock. I’m living under the coconut shell. hahaha! Yea, I’m not a movie person. I think I’m more towards the sports kind of person. Hehe.
