Since you brought it up, it's never a bad time to watch this chestnut:

The Simpsons references are so dense, there's so much Simpson-y stuff going on in there.

The day Star Wars stepped in shit, just like Jar Jar did.

ALL YOUR SIMPSON QUOTE ARE BELONG TO US

Exactly. Doing a Star Wars themed Monday Night Football is sort of the dictionary definition of gilding the lily.

The whole thing about that to me was, what's the difference (morally speaking) between using mind control to get the part or just stealing it (or taking it by force, force with a small "f")?

I informed you thusly, I so informed you thusly!

See, this is what happen when you take the orange pills.

Who are you, the bartender from the Mos Eisley cantina? That's ignorant!

…and his hip companion droid, R2Donkulous.

Yes! No light, which is good. The sound of page flipping would get annoying, I suppose.

Oh yeah. I recall some assorted "wait, what?" noises in the theater when that came up. (Hard to describe, but you'd know it if you were there.)

I admire a movie-goer who does canon fact checking in real time.

I'm trying to recall the exact point I thought "what the fuck is this shit?" while watching The Phantom Menace that fateful 12:05am showing (I missed the midnight show, so disappointment was staved off for 5 minutes), but I can't quite figure it out. Maybe it was the endless pod race, or maybe the realization that

Even that (Gilliam being a "very good film director") is quite debatable. His career is spotty, to say the least.

Is it too late in the game to say I've never really cared for Gilliam's animation and that when I started taping Monty Python (VHS tape!!) it was great because I could fast forward through all the boring parts? No? Bollocks.

Yeah. And there was blood on his knees. What the fuck?

I have my social security card and passport locked away, so that part doesn't seem unusual. The extra cash he no doubt hides from his wife. The drugs? It wouldn't surprise me if Vernon uses/is addicted to prescription meds of some kind. Does he deal them? Who knows, although I would doubt it given what we know about

Yeah, they both pretended that crying in a car in the middle of the night was the most normal thing, like she we going to pick up dry cleaning in the afternoon or something. That's why this show is great and keeps surprising us.

What is this, Horseville? Cause I am surrounded by naysayers! Wordplay!
