DOH! No More
UPDATE!
With a little help from a chilango, Shawn and I found a theater in Mexico City showing The Simpsons Movie in English with subtitles. It's showing (currently) at the Cinemex in Santa Fe, a huge, burgeoning area of the city where a lot of multi-national corporation headquarters are. People fly in and out from all over the world to go there, so it's one of the most multi-cultural parts of the city. In fact, our favorite Indian restaurant in the city, Kohinoor, is there.
Maybe they figure enough gringos go there that it is worth it to show an animated film in English. Maybe they're actually hip enough to realize (unlike the rest of the cinema industry in this country) that some animated features are not intended for kids. Or maybe that's a pipe dream and it just turns out that enough gringos traveling on business to Santa Fe take their kids along.
One thing I have learned living here in Mexico is that you shouldn't waste your time questioning why something good happens. You should just kick back and enjoy it. With The Simpsons Movie, we certainly did.
Thanks Cinemex!!
