Quote of the Day
“What the heck is your middle name, anyway?” – Bart Simpson “You know, I have no idea. Hey, Dad, what does the J stand for?” – Homer Simpson “How should I know? It was your mother’s job to name you and love you and such. I was mainly in it for the spanking.” – Abe “Grampa” Simpson
Sunday Preview: Halloween of Horror
When Lisa becomes scared at the Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, Homer is forced to take down his Everscream Terrors decorations. Halloween pop-up employees seek vengeance on Homer for causing them to lose their jobs, and rob his house while Homer and Lisa hide out in the attic. Homer and Lisa light up their stored holiday decorations to attract attention and stand up to the intruders. I guess we are having a pre-THOH Halloween episode tonight. Apparently in this episode, taking down decorations that I presume have already been bought and paid for causes employees of the decoration manufacturing company to lose their jobs and take to…

Reading Digest: End of an Era Edition
“We used to have a bus. In a way, the Sixties ended the day we sold it, December 31st, 1969.” – Munchie Before we get to today’s links, a brief site announcement: — Season 24 starts on Sunday. There is no reason to expect that it will be any different than Seasons 23, 22, 21 or any other Zombie Simpsons run. In just the first episode, they’re spamming retread celebrity guests, getting Bart romantically involved yet again, and having the Simpson family take a trip to a place they’ve already been. You couldn’t design a more stereotypically pathetic episode if…

Crazy noises: D’Oh-in’ in the Wind
“I’ll treasure this poncho forever.” – Homer Simpson “Uh, you might want to wash that. The dog has a lot of skin and bladder problems.” – Seth For the third summer in a row, we at the Dead Homer Society are looking to satisfy your off-season longing for substandard commentary on substandard Simpsons. This summer we’ll be looking at Season 10. Why Season 10? Because we’ve already done Seasons 8 and 9 and we can’t put it off any longer. Prior to Season 10, we watched as the show started falling over, this is when it fell over. And while…
The Michael Bay Ethos of Zombie Simpsons
“There were script problems from day one.” – Homer Simpson “It didn’t seem like anybody even read the script.” – Bart Simpson “That was the problem.” – Homer Simpson Two years ago, Michael Bay released Transformers 2, a movie that, even by his skewed standards, was vapid, nonsensical and incoherent. At 20% (which seems very generous), it is his lowest rating as a director on Rotten Tomatoes. It made an enormous amount of money, but was so widely pilloried as among the worst movies ever made that Bay himself publicly stated that the third one would be better. In other…
