I was disappointed when I saw it. They resorted to dick jokes for the Simpsons big screen outing. I thought it was pretty lame that they had to rename Ranier Wolfcastle as president Schwarzenegger.

King of the Hill was an amazing series. Yeah I'm a huge fan, I kinda wish Judge gave Beavis and Butthead a small cameo (they're also from Texas). What a missed oppurtunity. I am a huge fan of King of the Hill too. I still re-watch episodes on a weekly basis. I have also never been much of a fan of Beavis & Butthead, though the movie is decent. I wouldn't have liked a Beavis & butthead cameo. They look to unrealistic to be part of the world of King of the Hill.

That bugged me too, since Rainer is already suppose to be The Simpsons version of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

They were 2 different people who happened to look and sound the same. I had a look online. Your story checks out. I did not know that. That's even worse. Wolfcastle is supposed to be a parody of Arnie, and now they have another parody that is the same character except more clearly signposted. President Schwarzenegger a parody of Rainier Wolfcastle and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They should have treated the audience with respect and used Wolfcastle.

I stopped watching The Simpsons after season 13, because it really dropped in quality to the point where it didn't even feel like the same show anymore.
I went into the movie knowing it was going to be vastly inferior to the first 9 seasons of the show, so I enjoyed it as just an experience to see The Simpsons on the big screen. It is a fun movie if you go in expecting something more along the lines of what you might see in Season 11.
6.5/10

Maybe they could have been on TV, like Bobby was watching a Beavis and Butthead rerun, and Hank reacts, "What in good God's name is he watching?", you know just something like that.

I would have been okay with that. That is actually a great idea and fits Hank so much.

That bugged me too, since Rainer is already suppose to be The Simpsons version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. If I remember correctly, his original name wasn't even supposed to be "Wolfcastle", people just referred to him by his movie character name "McBane" which is kinda weird (it would be like people calling Schwarzenneger "Dutch"), so they changed it in the later episodes.

They wimped out not having Bush. They said they did not want to date the movie by having him.
Is that why they had Hillary in the Itchy and Scratchy cartoon? So it wouldnt be dated?
In a way they have the same problem the first Star Trek movie had--which is-they could do anything-so what do you do? There's a lot of choice--it felt like they just took two episodes and glued them together.
It didn't feel big enough--with a lot of celebrity cameos. They cut a Sideshow Bob cameo among others.

You might be right, though I don't remember anybody in the show ever referring to him as McBane outside of referencing the movie character.

"They cut a Sideshow Bob cameo among others." Maybe didn't wanna pay Kelsey Grammer? I would imagine he's somewhere in the angry mob scene:

The episode where Bart skips school and Skinner is hunting him down, I specifically remember Bart meeting him at a banquet (hosted by the Quimby family) and Bart said something along the lines of "Hey McBane I'm a huge fan, but your last movie really sucked" (a reference to "Last Action Hero").

It isn't even Schwarzenegger's voice. If they are going to use him for a high profile thing--like the president--it is still a lame joke--at least have Stallone as Vice-President or a sniper or something.

I haven't seen that episode in a long time, but you are right. I instantly remembered that line once I read it above. I am a fan of Last Action Hero actually. It is one of my favorite Arnold movies.

Compared to similar outings, (Beavis and Butthead Do America, South Park the Movie), this one feels a bit lackluster. Yeah this definetly should have been done at the shows peak (Season 5 or so?). Maybe even early 2000s this could have been better, by 2007 the show was long past it's prime. South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut - 7/10 The Simpsons Movie - 6.5/10 Beavis & Butthead Do America - 6.5/10 (It is a better movie version of the show than The Simpsons Movie, but I am just not much of a Beavis & Butthead fan to begin with) The Shows The Simpsons seasons 2-8 -10/10 King of the Hill - 9.5/10 (the greatest run of any animated series I have seen) Futurama is #2. South Park - 8/10 (I am actually re-watching a lot of old seasons at the moment) Beavis & Butthead - 6/10 I am a huge fan of adult animated shows in general, so I also like Family Guy, American Dad and Archer a lot.

It feels way too safe & uninspired. All of the show's genius had vanished or changed by then.
Seasons 1-10 is what's up.

It was better than the show had become by that time and had some wonderful moments. I do feel that it ran out of steam by the time they moved to Alaska.
