Do you guys think the movie will be good or that the show is only meant for TV format

Doesn't it strike you as mildly ironic, that most of the people who are against abortion, are the peope who you wouldnt want to bleep in the first place

Just as long as they throw stuff in for the fans i will be happy. I hate it when people go and ruin a film by trying to make it 100 % newbie friendly. This film should be for the fans that have stayed so loyal to the show.

But I also think it would be great if the movie got people who once overlooked the show to check it out.

And I also think it's possible to go too far the other way and make a movie that's just one giant callback. The key would be making the characters and the style the way we remember, while adding a completely original (yet appropriate) storyline. And then putting in just the right number of callbacks.

It would be difficult, but I have faith in Mitch, and faith is a fact.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words- "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Faith is not a fact.
Why do there have to be puppets like Frank?

I agree we need lots of new jokes with a few call backs thrown in there, which I'm sure we'll get. Nobody wants to hear all the exact same jokes/references as in the show, that would be pretty unimaginative...

but it might work for us...

Of course we want new jokes. I dont think i made myself clear when i first posted.

I would still like to see a nod to some of the classic stuff for people who actually bothered to watch and support the tv show.

I hope they get Barry back, he was my favourite non family member.

He's the best!

The trick is to create multi-layered jokes. It is possible to create a joke that is funny on one level... because it's just funny no matter who you are, and at the same time it's funny for other reasons to someone intimately familiar with the show because it includes a subtle reference to an earlier time.

I want to see dozens of those. Dozens!

I want the last line to be: "Nah, I don't see it as a movie. Maybe a TV series?" :D
