The Simpsons, Lego-style.

When you’re one of the longest-running shows in television history, there’s not many places where you can go.  After a certain time, all the plots have been exhausted and all the fun trips have been taken, but those rules really don’t apply to animated television.  If you want to go to space, you go to space.  If you want to go to Legos, you turn your characters into Legos.  The Simpsons is going Lego in Sunday’s episode, “Brick Like Me.”  Here’s the trailer!

It will be the 550th episode of the show’s run and their first journey into Lego-dom, which is far different from Legoland.  The Simpsons have previously been in 3D, in computer animation, on the big-screen, and in puppet form, but this is their first brick trip.  Call it a tie-in with the wildly successful Lego Movie, call it a tie-in for the upcoming Simpsons Lego sets, call it just dumb fun.  Either way, I’m looking forward to it.  It doesn’t look like it’s going to be up to the par of the big-screen Lego experience, but it looks like it’ll be a lot of fun anyway.  Any time you can reinvent the familiar, I’m all for it.

It seems like only a few years ago that Sylvester Stallone was mostly forgotten.  That seems to be changing in a hurry, as the aging action star has revitalized his career with a new hit franchise and revivals of his old familiar franchises.  Rambo came back, Rocky came back, and now it looks like Rocky’s […]

It’s been a long time since Bethesda Softworks put out their last game, and that time has only strengthened the anticipation of fans eagerly awaiting their next property.  Like most studios, Bethesda has their fans, and those fans are devoted due to the high quality of Bethesda’s games.  It seems that every Bethesda game is […]

James Bond just cannot be stopped, except perhaps by himself.  Studio struggles almost killed Skyfall, but the movie turned out to be a huge hit when it was finished and audiences demanded more, as they have over 24 movies by now.  The rumored 24th Bond movie is making its first appearances online, and it’s pretty […]
