Amen! I find "The Simpsons" to be brilliant and amazingly subtle. Just the
other day we were thinking about "The Itchy and Scratchy Show" and how odd
it is that cartoon characters are sitting there watching other cartoon
characters get killed over and over. There's something really weird about
that that could only have come from the mind of Matt Groenig.
It reminds me of Tolkien and the ents, these strange walking and speaking
tree creatures who mystify Merry and Pippin and to them seem to be creatures
of the imagination though as hobbits, they are part of the imagination
themselves. "The Simpsons" has this kind of depth to it, and is part of
what makes it the best written comedy ever in my mind.
Victor, looking forward to seeing "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the
Ring", "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", and "The Time Machine", and
possibly someday "The Simpsons" Movie(I heard recently that a movie has been
discussed but there are problems in figuring out how to disperse the
earnings, that would undoubtedly ensue, among all the people involved)
