Cracked recently ran a photoshop contest. Since I’m trying to do the least amount of work possible for this post, I’ll let them explain (via Cinematical):
Movie titles don’t tell you much. If all you had to go on was the name, you might think Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was a blacksploitation sequel, American Graffiti was Exit Through the Gift Shop, and Exit Through the Gift Shop was a porn they had to shoot when the Radison Inn double booked.
We asked you to show us what some Hollywood blockbusters might have been called if they really told you what you were getting.
You get nicely photoshopped posters where “The Blind Side” gets re-titled "White Guilt” and “Toy Story 3” becomes “Cry Like a Baby 3”. It’s mildly amusing. #22 was the poster for “The Simpsons Movie”. Here’s the original:
Here is the version improved by Cracked member popcornmonster:
That is vastly better, but something’s still not quite right:
Ah, there we go. It’s the little things.
(While looking for an original copy of the poster, I found this. Let’s just say I agree.)

Please don’t tell me you misquoted by saying “Crack” instead of “Cracked”!
I don’t think so. They don’t show the title of the magazine, but it always sounded like “Crack” to me. I checked it before I posted it.
Having listened to it again, I’m changing my mind and saying that I’m wrong and you’re right. The “ed” is quiet, but it’s definitely there. I’ve been mishearing it all these years (through how many viewings?), and SNPP has it as “Cracked”:

Also, the naming of that “Cracked” the humor website makes more sense now.
Damn; if I’d known it was going to be a long Zombie Simpsons episode, I wouldn’t have paid good money to see it. Too late now.
Are you still going to sit through their commentary?
To my horror, there are two commentary tracks, not one. I’m halfway through the first one. It’s pretty slow going, but it is coming. I’ll post the first one before deciding if I can stomach the second.
The second is less ‘interesting’, if that’s possible, from what I recall when I sat through it for the Wikipedia article. It’s the directors so it focuses more on animation, but… they don’t really say anything. The only things of real note are that they cut a Sideshow Bob cameo, and planned to have Hank Scorpio as the villain, before realising the error of their ways.
The first one is the one focusing on the test audience pandering. This summary of it might help if that’s going to be the focus of your piece: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons_Movie#Editing
