What kind of sad fucks still watch the Simpsons?

This is my new summer jam.

My aunt passed him in the street (in Boston) when he was here filming The Verdict. Said hi to him, and he responded. Her exact words after she told us about it: “I can die now.”

I soooo didn’t get Paul Newman for years (yes, I know it was stupid) and then I re-watched Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid two years ago and I was like HOLY SHIT I HAVE BEEN MISSING ALL THAT IS GOOD AND WONDERFUL ABOUT THIS WORLD.

Always buy Newman’s Own when it’s an option. It’s good food, all the profits go to charity and you get to stare at Paul’s face.

See I don’t see anything good with these episodes because I hate that proposal with every part of my being. Him wanting to marry her does nothing to fix the fact that he was a jealous, whiney, destructive boyfriend and wrecked their one big chance (a huge spit in the face when you find out that Zack gets to tour, Lane…

I had nothing better to do.

That’s definitely a trope that Josh Schwartz ran in to the ground on The O.C, Hart of Dixie and 90210 among other shows. All of the “Sam and Diane/David and Maddie getting together ruined their relationship” and “There’s more interest in the chase” common wisdom should have been wiped out by Greg Daniels/Michael Schur…

I’d expect anyone to want to take time to get a feel for their ridiculously powerful boss before feeling comfortable enough to jump into conversations without invitation. He could just as easily been the kind of boss who doesn’t want to hear from low-level peons.

I think the problem with Mitchum’s criticism of Rory was that it was too early for him to really know that she wasn’t cut out for journalism, and that he seemed to have some ulterior motive (like wanting to “fix” his son) for offering the criticism in the first place. That it turned out to be accurate I think was more…

It’s weird. This episode is so bad that it never really impacted my opinion of Luke—like it’s so unbelievably dumb that I can’t even treat it as canon.

It's got a lot of good gags, but I found the "Homer is a homophobe suddenly (and in this episode only)" thing to be a little forced. I did enjoy the call-back a few seasons later when he included it in his list of previous careers.

"You Only Move Twice" should have been the Simpsons Movie.

I mean that is certainly one opinion to have.

This should be where I mention that the much-lauded "Homer's Enemy" episode is actually a terrible, laugh-free mess.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Hopefully Kinja moves in with two foxy ladies before the end of the fiscal year.

Homer's reaction to Data's "Gahhh Mr. Simpson, on the Itchy and Scratchy CD-ROM is there a way to get out of the dungeon without the wizard key?" makes me lose my shit every single God damn time.

Lisa! In this house we obey the Laws of Thermodynamics!

"Simpson Tide" is one of the episode I think I can't stand until I remember that it's justified by the glorious "surprise resurrection of the USSR" sequence.
