Immodest Proposal: The Simpsons Should Start Aging
By Rob Dean On Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 1:45PM
Rob Dean On Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 1:45PM Immodest Proposal is a place where Rob Dean makes humble suggestions that would forever alter the world and vastly improve the lives of everyone. But, you know, you don't have to listen to him, or whatever.
the resemblence is uncanny!The Simpsons is in a rut. That venerable institution, once lauded by cool english teachers and awkward IT staffs alike, has fallen into disrepair and it may take drastic measures to bring it back.
Starting around the early 2000s, it seemed there were less good episodes per season; instead the show was dominated by stunt casting, delving into backstories of lesser characters, random "travel episodes" that eventually descended into becoming the lazy set-ups that were mocked by earlier Simpsons episodes. Random changes were made to characters - Apu's octoplets, for example - that served as nothing more than 30 minutes of filler. The writers began lapping old scripts, revisiting plot points that were already dealt with or that previous writing staffs derided (rightfully) as cheap and uninteresting.
How can the producers hope to rescue the show? What price will they have to pay to escape from the shadows of Macfarlane's Animation Empire and reassert itself as the rightful Emperor of Smart and Important Cartoons? My suggestion: it's time for the characters in The Simpsons to start aging.

The Holy Bibble - Volume 1: A Random Repository of Awesome
By Eryn Ashley On Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 2:00PM
Eryn Ashley On Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 2:00PM I work in a cubicle. It hurts my soul. The day is one long sigh, a dirge of defeat. But they have free coffee and vendors sometimes send us chocolate bars as bribes to keep doing things for them, so hey, VICTORY.
In order to not cry constantly, I like to think of things that don’t suck. Here are some:
- Meat. Meat does not suck. Unless you’re a vegetarian (and then you suck. KIDDING. Not kidding. KIDDING AGAIN). See what I did there? I talked crazy. That’s cause I’m high on meat, with all its delicious hormones and sinews and blood, and it’s not even noon yet.

The Game
By Rob Dean On Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 12:30PM
Rob Dean On Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 12:30PM Double Dip Demands is a column in which I propose films that deserve a re-release on DVD/Blu-Ray with more special features, better transfers and other nerdy bits. Some of the films have no DVDs out there for Region 1 viewers, and some of them have a really crappy version that's bare bones or poorly put together. Who speaks for these films? I do.
The Film: The Game (1997)
Cast & Crew: David Fincher (dir.), John D. Brancato & Michael Ferris (writers), Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger, James Rebhorn.
Plot Synopsis (from IMDB) : Wealthy financier Nicholas Van Orton gets a strange birthday present from wayward brother Conrad: a live-action game that consumes his life.
Is It Out on DVD currently? Yes - but with no extras. There was a laserdisc edition that had many special features and there continue to be rumors of a Criterion Collection edition coming out at some point.
Why Does it Deserve Special Features? The Game is the only film in Fincher's canon that has never received a proper DVD. Panic Room, Fight Club, Benjamin Button - hell, even Alien3 have all been repackaged with great special features, which lends credence that Fincher is a filmmaker deserving of such examination. Add on to that that this film dealt with Augmented Reality Games (ARG) before most people even knew what they were, and it seems like it's a movie well worth delving into.
What Should be On the Disc?
