@pafco:disqus So they should have kept the leagues segregated? For how long?

@avclub-17642f168c28dfb8656664961cc39197:disqus I'd never think of Groening as a hack. I was just saying that in 1991-1992, Matt Groening wasn't in the position to can an album already paid for, or so I would have thought, so I assumed that it had been Brooks, who swung more weight.

I don't want to read too much more about it beforehand… If it sucks, it sucks. But label me as "cautiously optimistic"

See: The Thing

I dunno… Sounds dumb, but so does "Haunted Hotel", or "Killer shape shifting clown" or "New England Dracula".

Well, let me chime in on that…

Where in the world did you get that Watson was black? He is the grandson of the man who built the Overlook. In 1900 there were very few rich black oilmen who opened resort hotels in Colorado…

Errr… the movie, or the planet?

We got the Boomers beat twice. We were nostalgic for things AS THEY HAPPENED, as well as being nostalgic for the future we didn't get BECAUSE THEY FUCKED UP

Because with very few exceptions, the people of the time decide what to pass on to the next age. Sure, there are always a few things that are rediscovered centuries later. But for the most part, people are pretty good at figuring out what the really good things are as they happen.

It's a close call. I'd say Simpons has a slight edge because they aimed higher (the lampooning of the entirety of Western Culture) and hit the mark.
