Neither we nor our visitors here in Vermont had seen the Simpsons Movie, and we all agreed that today, which started out rainy, would be the perfect day to see the movie in Springfield, Vermont, where it received its world premiere. We took in the matinee at the bargain price of $5.00 each. Here’s proof, consisting of a picture of yours truly in front of the historic Springfield Theater.
As further proof, of a sort, that we were on holy ground, I submit this picture of the back of the sculpture, where you can see the original artwork of Matt Groening and Mike Silverman. Click on the picture for a larger view.
I have no idea if all this stuff is at every theater, but inside the Simpsons themselves were watching the movie, with an extra seat on the couch for anyone who wanted to join them. Unfortunately, it was quite dark in the theater, so this picture is not the best. The lady rubbing Homer’s head is Lisa Shafer-Gill, who is visiting with us from Ohio.
