Quote of the Day and a Quick Review of Backrooms
“Are you helping me or are you going on and on?” – Homer Simpson “Oh, right, and of course within we find the, uh, doomed individual.” – Prof. Frink [Note: a discussion of the ending of the movie is at the end of this post.] Having been largely shielded from the internet discussion of Backrooms, I went into the film and my subsequent reading of its Wikipedia page as a mostly blank slate. I had completely forgotten the “Backrooms” internet meme, but as a premise for a horror movie it’s a great one. What is this image if not an…
Quote of the Day
“Lisa, when you get to be our age, you’ll learn a few things. Like when a sign says, ‘Do Not Feed the Bears’, man, you’d better not feed the bears.” – Homer Simpson
Quote of the Day
“Read your town charter, boy. If foodstuff should touch the ground, said foodstuff shall be turned over to the village idiot. Since I don’t see him around, start shoveling!” – Homer Simpson
Quote of the Day
“Prostitution, loan sharking, numbers, the kid liked to wet his beak in everything.” – Jailhouse Snitch
“Myth: cable piracy is wrong. Fact: cable companies are big faceless corporations which makes it okay.” – Homer Simpson Top Line: This movie should have been called “Keke and the Clothes Factory”, it’s weird, bright, funny, and very moral. Box Score: Runtime: | 1h54m MPAA Rating: | R – strong sexual content, nudity, language throughout and brief drug use. Sweatpants Rating: | PG-14 – Kids need to learn about shoplifting and that’s a good age for them to do so. Three Stars: | 1. LaKeith Stanfield – This is unfair since he gets the Mercutio role as a cunnilingual sex…
QotD and Actual Good Simpsons News
“It’s a good thing you drifted by this brothel.” – Chief Wiggum Back in 2012, one of this coolest things this blog ever did was score free tickets for commenter Hank Pumpkins to see Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play in Washington DC. You can read his review here. Well, it turns out the play (by Anne Washburn) is getting made into a movie (by Boots Riley). I found this out clicking on Boots’s IMDb just now before going to see I Love Boosters this later this afternoon. No cast or timeline according to this, but I never saw the play so this announcement…
QotD and Book Preview Explainer
“Sure, I may have offended a few of the blue nosers with my cocky stride and musky odors.” – Homer Simpson The site is starting to look like itself again, baby steps, but progress. The first of ten preview posts for We Kicked Their Ass is now up. This one contains the preface, the author’s note, and the first section of chapter one. A new post/section will be added every Wednesday and Saturday until Fourth of July. There is an email address box for those who might later like to order it (but no pre-orders yet). Work on this book…
Quote of the Day And More Site Crap
“Tis a fine barn, but sure tis no pool, English.” – Amish Guy “D’oheth!” – Homer Simpson From an ironic distance it’s impressive how WordPress as a platform has retained its ability to be worse than it was in 2009. As a user it is more frustrating, but on the internet someone else has always had the same problem, and god bless everyone who works on the “Classic Editor +” pluigin and the “Regular Blog” theme because this looked and functioned like shit and now that is less so. Further improvements, hopefully to come. Also, my thanks to everyone for…
“This isn’t just about Sideshow Bob! It’s a chance to turn around all our stinkin’ lives!” – Homer Simpson

“Hey hey! I’ve been in Reno for six weeks! Did I miss anything?” – Krusty the Klown Good news, everyone: I’m not dead, I’m no longer homeless, and that overwhelming global pandemic has (mostly) subsided! Those things have been true for a couple of years now, but what’s new is that I just spent a couple hours messing around with the WordPress theme here and buying this spiffy new domain (deadhomers.com). To my great amusement, someone squatted on deadhomersociety.com when I was too broke to afford it. Enjoy it, algorithm bot, it’s worth it to me for the story alone.…
