      Copying my comment from another thread:

      By the time this movie comes out, the first movie (2007) will be closer in time to the first episode (1989) than to the second movie (2027).

        If they’re already working on it, the chalkboard gag from the season 19 episode directly after the movie is technically true

      it is almost 20 years since that came out

      this comment hurt me deeply. I watched the first one in cinemas and could swear its closer to 10 years

        10 years ago is stuff like star wars vii, the jurassic reboot (world), fast 7, mad max reboot, inside out, etc.

        Those feel like forever ago too. Maybe after 10 years time starts to compress ;)
