A guide to watching the new trailer for The Simpsons Movie: For the first half of the trailer, remember way back to c. 1996, when the once-brilliant The Simpsons was sharp, clever, and hilarious. Because the first half of this trailer is like that! For the second half, though, remember every lame, tired, sloppy, slapsticky episode of the show that you’ve felt obligated to watch since c. ‘96. Because that’s the second half, and the apparent direction of the movie. Man, if you had told me about this movie 10 years ago, I would already be standing in line. Now? Not so much.

And it gets worse: The trailer’s one good joke is a blatant ripoff of the teaser for 1999’s South Park movie. Jesus Christ.
