It seems that now Homer can put ‘movie star’ on his resume. Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart conquered the big screen this weekend. And they opened to large audiences and big, big dollars:

“”The Simpsons Movie” turned doughnuts into dollars over the weekend, raking in $71.9 million to debut as the top movie this week.”

“Early in “The Simpsons Movie,” Homer lets us know that we’re idiots for paying to see something we could watch free on television.”

It may be great timing on Homer’s part. Movie audience just may be ready for actors and actresses who are not going to court, not going to rehab, not appearing on the police blotter, not going to therapists…
