“Hey, Lis, you think that’s enough for her?” – Bart Simpson
“Maybe one more.” – Lisa Simpson
Since the Fourth falls on a Saturday this year, making tomorrow a de facto holiday, here’s Reading Digest a day early. The holiday mean that it’s shorter than usual, but we’ve got several excellent pieces of fan art, an unofficial Lego house, and pancakes, pancakes, pancakes!
Enjoy.
The Big Lebowski vs. The Pin Pals: Who Wins a Fictional Bowling Game? – He had to exclude Otto and Burns to make the teams even, but the analysis here is pretty good:
Like his personality Sobchak blows hot and cold so you never know what you’re going to get. If Cynthia’s dog is taken care of and his laundry is clean, he could put up a 250. If the slightest little iota is out of order, he might not break 100.
A Rick and Morty Season 2 promo trailer is here. Apparently this first look trailer for Rick and Morty Season 2 aired during The Simpsons Season 26 finale but Rick and Morty fans are only just noticing its existence. Does anyone still watch The Simpsons?
Not really, no. In other news, I am looking forward to more Rick and Morty.
The Future of TSTO game – Pt. 1 – The main Tapped Out site is expanding to cover other topics. Having been off Tapped Out for a year and a half now, I find this amusing:
Step-by-step instructions on how to proceed in an event. While we know this information is helpful to our readers, it is one of the least enjoyable topics to write about. As events become more complicated and cumbersome, this process become more of a chore.
Nothing says “fun” like “complicated and cumbersome”.
I Got In Touch With People Who Abused Me Online To Ask Why – A BuzzFeed writer wrote about never having watched the show, and, being female, got death and rape threats. One dude finds a bit of absolution for it.
7 Reasons to Visit San Francisco – Scroll to #6 for some excellent Simpsons art.
LISTEN: The Simpsons – ‘The Call Of The Simpsons’ Review – You ever know a siren to be good?
Danny Elfman on Film Scores, ‘Simpsons’ and Working With Tim Burton – Every time there’s an interview with Elfman, he tells the story basically the same way:
I told Matt Groening, “If you want something contemporary – television contemporary – I’m not the guy.” ‘Cause I didn’t understand TV themes in the Eighties at all. “If you want something really retro, I’m the guy.” ‘Cause it felt like a Hanna-Barbera cartoon that never was, and there was something reminiscent of The Flintstones: going through the city, even though Fred Flintstone was running and Homer’s driving the car. And he said, “Yeah, that’s what I’m looking for.” I wrote it in my head in the car on the way back. By the time I got home from the meeting it was all done. I ran downstairs, recorded a demo, sent it out, got a call back, Matt says, “Yeah, great.” It was the easiest thing I’ve ever done.
DOH-ceptively spacious – Fan made mini-version of the Simpsons Lego house. Well done.
HOMIE – Fan made drawing of Homer with an alien piercing his skull. Neat.
We Got Presidential Hopeful Ted Cruz To Do An Audition For “The Simpsons” – As I said on Twitter, he butchers the “magical animal” setup, but overall he isn’t terrible. The .gifs, especially Twirling for Freedom, will come in very handy if he wins the nomination.
Max (movie)…In 10 Words – We’ll get you a new dog, one with an untwistable psyche!
Ted 2…In 10 Words – Hug, him, squeeze him, tug at his fur.
▶ Pancake Art – Homer Simpson (Simpsons) Easy – This doesn’t look all that easy to me, but I can’t draw for squat:
There are also videos for Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Bravo.
