WeaponX posted:It’s based on how Mo’Nique’s character speaks to Precious in the film and that much is accurate but like someone else already said, it’s not a question of if you can parody but if you should and are you capable of doing something clever or worthwhile. The Simpsons writing team at this point are not. Do you honestly think that having a character basically shout "you're fat and your career will be poo poo because you're fat" at an actress who's just starting out is anything other than mean-spiritedness? gently caress, do you think those shitheads even deserve the benefit of the doubt? "Good luck securing another role unless George Lucas needs another Death Star." gently caress off.

You clearly did not read or bother to understand what I said. You are very angry about something that I agree with you about. Have you seen the movie? Seriously, do you realize that is exactly how the character is treated and spoken to? Did you read the parts where I said the parody lacked any cleverness, humor, effort, or value? Or when I said that the many unnecessary Precious parodies were always just jokes about her weight? Don’t embarrass yourself with this poo poo. Whoever posted that video may have released some sort of curse upon this thread. WeaponX fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Mar 22, 2021 |

You are melting down over a Simpsons clip and shaming Gabourey Sidibe‘s appearance in the process whether you believe it or not in the same mean-spiritedness you keep screaming about. Chill the gently caress out and knock it off with the fat examples. This thread at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o46VMhFETUA

Is American Dad still good? I was considering referencing the "Oscar Gold" joke earlier as a way to punch up while using All The Bad Things.

It’s also become more unconventional since leaving FOX, which I thought would be a terrible move but actually keeps the quality fresh. And that’s how you maintain quality of a long-running show instead of say, having Lady Gaga show up in a magical shoe train. EDIT: meaning The Simpsons was always a show grounded in reality until Lady Gaga shows up, whereas AD was always gently caress reality, anything goes.

Look, can we all just deal with the 700th episode and ask a simple question - WHY THE gently caress WOULD YOU DO A CHRISTMAS EPISODE IN MARCH WHEN IT IS LITERALLY THE WORST TIME TO DO A CHRISTMAS EPISODE? Like, look at the Christian calendar. It's Lent. Jesus is getting ready to die. And you're going to celebrate his birth. The Bill Plympton opening was cool because he actually understands the characters and does interesting things in the animated medium.

Have no fears, we've got stories for years! Lisa becomes an NFT Mr. Burns plays Divinity We're sorry for seasons 11-32! Have no fears, we've got stories for YEARS!!! Someone wished for the Simpsons to never end. They made the classic Tithonus blunder: we got eternal life, but not eternal youth.

Plant MONSTER. posted:add that to the poll so i can vote for it The poll is kind of funny to look at now cus like, the tik tok intro? The Lady Gaga episode? Yeah they're not very funny but they mostly just bland and forgettable. It feels mostly like people hating on them cus it's Simpsons doing something teens like that will age like milk. They don't register anywhere near the Precious parody, or the Apu conversation between Marge and Lisa, or the robot SJWs, or any of the other hateful bigoted poo poo the series has gotten away with over the years.

That just makes me think of the Apu conversation between Marge and Homer where Marge is interpreting Homer's eye twitches, which is very silver age Simpsons in being a bit contrived but still entertainingly absurd. Also makes sense given being married to Homer, you learn to interpret his indirect communication because his direct communication is not going to be most reliable.

It's not even that they're late with the Christmas episode, apparently they just don't have any better ideas. Out of the last seventeen episodes, three have been Christmas episodes including one that actually aired in December (which took place in summer).

You know, I forget how stupid they've made Ralph. Like, in his first major episode, he's just sort of an awkward kid who isn't too bright, but isn't a cruel depiction of a mentally disabled boy that he is today.

Al Jean is referencing Citizen Kane in his tweet. Which is apt because The Simpsons is at the stage of the movie where everyone is bored out of their minds at Kane's wife's terrible opera and Kane can't admit that it's terrible.

emgeejay posted:https://twitter.com/yeardleysmith/status/1084818285596688384?s=21 $300,000 an episode and she cares what reviews say? Yes, if I were paid that much for any piece of media I worked half a day on I would also enjoy it very much. And the reviewer wasn’t some random blog reply tweeting her, he’s a professional critic for a major site. Have some self respect and don’t apologize if your review was in good faith. It’s not like Fox can block you from watching new eps. At this point is Castellaneta the only main cast member who hasn’t become problematic? I guess Kavner hasn’t done much wrong other than not knowing when to walk away. Hyrax Attack! fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Mar 24, 2021 |
