So we had flipped cause and effect all along? Being a pedophile doesn't make you watch star trek, but watching star trek makes you a pedophile?

On Sunday, January 7, 2024, the winners of the 2023 Creative Arts Emmy Awards were announced, revealing that an episode of The Simpsons featuring a Death Note parody had won. The episode in question was the 2022 Halloween episode titled Treehouse of Horror XXXIII, which has been a traditional seasonal episode for the series since its second season. The Death Note parody episode of The Simpsons won in the Outstanding Animated Program category, having been nominated for the same award several times over the years. Including this latest victory for Treehouse of Horror XXXIII, the series has won the category a total of 12 times since the 1990 award season. While the Death Note parody only comprised a section of the latest Treehouse of Horror episode, it was regarded as one of the better portions of the installment overall by viewers. In the Death Note parody segment of the 33rd Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons, Lisa Simpson is cast as Light Yagami, finding a mysterious book labeled Death Tome. Much like the actual anime's murderous book, she finds several rules and instructions on how to use the book on the inside cover. While the parody doesn't follow the original anime's story precisely, Lisa does receive her own shinigami named Steve Johnson and is given an adversary in L played by her brother, Bart. The casting of Bart as L plays on Bart's graffiti-tagging alter-ego, El Barto, whose signature can be seen all over the fictional town of Springfield in various other episodes of the series. DR Movie, the South Korean studio that assisted Madhouse in their production of the original anime series, animated the parody section of Treehouse of Horror XXXIII. The Simpsons had previously spoofed other anime series for Treehouse of Horror in their 2014 episode, in which they parodied Attack on Titan, Bleach, Naruto, Spirited Away, and Pokémon. The original Death Note anime series served as a television anime adaptation of author Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata's original manga series of the same name. The anime premiered in 2006 and ran until 2007 for a total of 37 episodes. Several live-action films have been released previously in the franchise, with an upcoming live-action series being produced by Netflix. Ohba and Obata's original manga ran from 2003 until 2006 and was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump manga publication magazine for the entirety of this original run. The series' 108 chapters were eventually collected into 12 compilation book volumes.

The weird part is Homer being a salaryman who excels at staying up all night getting drunk with his boss actually is something that suits him so well they have actual jokes about it.

Love when Ice-T and the dolphin show up. Great film. Johnny says something like "I can carry 80 gigs of data in my head" which was very impressive then but now Johnny can barely hold half of Baldurs Gate 3 installed.

also the black and white Johnny Mnemonic is okay i guess but if it doesn't have an incredibly garish, eye-searing '90s color scheme, it ain't Johnny Mnemonic

"Good" news everyone! I had a chance to watch the netflix cut of rebel moon! I enjoyed it, with obvious qualifications!Maybe it was the blustery winter weather outside and the cozy boozy drink in my hand, but the hack editing didn't bother me - it instead reminded me of the first times I ever saw particular genre movies like Conan the Barbarian or Chronicles of Riddick - on television, with significant chunks missing (due to commercial breaks and because my dad controlled the wandering remote). As a cinephile it was much less than ideal, a disjointed mess. But as a sicko for pulp styled fantasy, it was pretty good! The plot is really this cut's only weakness, and it's not like it was hard to fill in the blanks. It's funny to remember the confusion some goons have had with this very simple story. Kora's recruitment isn't stupid or contradictory - it's Nemesis who says revenge is bad (she's a different character!), Kora and Titus think it's legit. The soft focus complaints are whatever, different tastes but it's way less obtrusive than Abrams' lens flares (which never obscure anything anyways). While Zack has inarguably done another fascism as always, I can't help but wonder what haters will do with how young Kora is coded in her origin scene (or Besilarius in comparison) lol Even as is, it's way better than the Sequel Trilogy by pretty much any measure. Looking forward to the proper big boy cut whenever that is
