And I'm not fond of E. Murphy either. He really needs to grow up. The way he spoke bad about someone he was obviously with, was uncalled for. I didn’t find his unkind words to be funny at all. He is too old for that. All of his family issues should have been kept between those two, and the woman that he was previously with.

I swear I tried to hate the Simpson’s back in the day because of Bart’s mouth, but I just can’t do it. I think it’s Marge’s fault, she made me like them anyway. You gotta love her and Moe (the bartender).

Eddie's fiancee better watch out , seems like he's the type to get the 7mnth itch or something to that effect ... he's for sure gonna get tired of her. ... the movie guy on E! Ben somethingorother had predicted that Simpsons would make about 37 mil coz he said it wasn't for the kids - guess he was a little wrong ;)

I find it kind of funny that LL's movie came in at #9 and only made 3.4 million. The trade papers were REALLY harsh in their reveiws.
