As usual Charlie hits the nail on the head.

The movie was written to appeal to mainstream audiences (calling it Moe's Bar instead of just Moe's) and focus-grouped to death.

Unlike the old days where the writers wrote what they thought was funny and to hell if anyone didn't get the reference (What the hell is Sheriff Lobo?)

>>89699810
It had all the hallmarks of a modern Simpson's episode but stretched out to a sickening degree.

>>89699810
It portrayed Schwartzenegger as a caricature of Rainier Wolfcastle.

>>89699810
Why is Moe there?

at least it was mostly 2D, making it better than any other animated movie in the past decade

>>89700539
Yeah that was pretty weird.

>>89700094
Pretty much this. It also did the whole Marge leaves Homer thing again, which the show has done a number of times, many of them better.

>>89700539
This too, as well as Russ Cargill not being Homer's old boss.

>>89700539

Y'know who we should make this movie for? People who've never seen the Simpsons!

Did they really think he audience wouldn't be able to figure out that Wolfcastle is a thinly veiled parody of 80s action stars like Schwarzenegger, so they decided to spell it out for them and just rename him Schwarzenegger?

Why not change Itchy and Scratchy to Tom and Jerry just to make sure people get the reference.

Nothing.

>>89701132
He was just in Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Pure kino.

I didn't even realize Sam Neill was the Cat Burglar. Again, he played a character, the joke wasn't 'Hey Look, it's Sam Neill!' Whereas new Simpsons date themselves instantly by putting every flavour of the moment celebrity in the show to gain as much media attention as possible for a show in it's 27th season.

68:40 – They were thinking about cutting the epiphany scene, but they didn’t think it felt “thick enough” without it. Translation: even when we don’t have a set amount of time to fill, we use filler. Hans Zimmer, the composer, had to tell them that Homer was already trying to find his family when he left the cabin. In other words, they had constructed a story so poorly that they needed the soundtrack guy to tell them where their plot holes were.

Goddamn. I mean Hans Zimmer is pretty ace but fucking still

It's only been two weeks and I'm so tired

>>89701457
The election brought out the worst political division we've had in our nation in a long time. And rather than his policy being the thing that begins to fray Americathough his policies are bad. Like, undeniably. I don't understand the willful ignorance /pol/ has with Trump when he's literally deregulating business on behalf of the "jews" its more of the fact that he does nothing but feed animosity into the public through his words.

I'm tired as well my friend. I'm waiting for the sensible majority of society to wake up and take control from the radicals on both sides, but more and more I'm worrying that the sensible aren't a majority anymore, and they haven't been for a long time now.

>>89701504
That's why the election was shit. You had one of the most left-wing liberals ever on one side and a dangerously right-wing fanaticist on the other, both of which were underhanded, did whatever they could to slag off the other and have dishonest practice records of equal length, each of which make the Great Wall of China look like a single pixel.

Neither of them deserved to even be nominated as President.

>>89701504
The best we can hope for is that his calamtious term in office will cause change for the better at the next election but I have a bad feeling that's just wishful thinking.

>>89701529
>You had one of the most left-wing liberals ever on one side
But Hillary got the nomination, not Sanders.

>>89701457
You wouldn't be so tired if you had just succumbed to alternative facts from the beginning instead of paying attention and shit.

>>89701544
At least Sanders didn't talk down to the majority of the voting base and then react in complete shock when they didn't show out.

Even then, she wasn't Sanders left wing, but she was left of Obama and the male Clinton, and her entire campaign was run on corrosive identity politics.

>>89701529
>You had one of the most left-wing liberals ever on one side

You're not seriously talking about Clinton here, right?

There's this part of me that still wants to engage and refute all this alternative facts horseshit but then there's the apathetic part that just wants a president who'll keep their mouth shut and do things behind closed doors like all the rest.

>>89701578

>muh war hawk lefty
Doesn't mean she isn't still a lefty.

>>89701573
I have no idea where you're getting this idea that Hillary was in any way more left than Obama, let alone most anyone else in her own party.

>At least Sanders didn't talk down to the majority of the voting base and then react in complete shock when they didn't show out.
But Sanders was still unambiguously left wing in every way, and he ended up winning some of the same states from Hillary that Trump did. This narrative that it's all just a bunch of white people finally getting revenge on identity politics is ridiculous and feels highly constructed.

>>89701589
I didn't say she wasn't a lefty (she isn't though), but calling her one of the most leftist liberals ever is just flat out retarded. You'd have to know almost literally nothing about politics to even think that.

>>89701597
Burning winning the same states that Trump did kind of supports the "backlash against identity" narrative. Even in the primaries people weren't keen on someone who's entire platform was

>Muh first woman president. Muh minorities
Alot of Bernie's ideas weren't reasonably feasible, its true. But at least he was trying to deliver a message of hope for all Americans.

Next you'll tell me that the narrative that the DNC conspired against Bernie is a constructed narrative as well.

>>89701582
They won't blame Trump. Some people are incapable of admitting a mistake. It happened with Bush, just brush off all his many falters.

I can recognize good things about Bush as a person while still criticizing his presidency. I like Obama's diplomacy while still not liking his lack of action and some of the choices he made.

Trump... so far I got nothing to like. Loud, brash and emotionally immature.

Being a president is the most thankless job in the world. No matter what you do, you're going to get shit on from all sides. Trump can't even handle SNL poking fun at him.

>>89701625
>Burning winning the same states that Trump did kind of supports the "backlash against identity" narrative
Not at all. It's so clearly about economics. You don't vote for the commie hippie standing behind minorities to BAN ALL MUSLIMS MEXICANS ARE RAPISTS just because you saw the word "PoC" too many times. How fucking shortsighted do you have to be to even entertain that over the fact that these states- the blue collar working class states- were more willing to go with anyone presenting themselves as anti-Wall Street than otherwise?

>>89701627
>Being a president is the most thankless job in the world. No matter what you do, you're going to get shit on from all sides. Trump can't even handle SNL poking fun at him.
Its honestly like he didn't know. He bitched the longest about the birther crap, and yet it didn't occur to him going in that maybe his controversy wouldn't just blow over once he took office.

And I know they won't blame Trump. I'm saying they'll blame whatever president is in office at the time, like they did with Bush and the financial crisis that was decades in the making.

>>89701597
Probably because it is highly constructed. These people refuse to actually engage in conversation and defend Trump so instead all we get is a bunch of identity politics from them.

>>89701649
There's been leaks suggesting that some of Trump's reactions to the resistance he's been facing were along the lines of, "Don't these people know who I am? I'm the fucking president!" and such.

I'd like to believe he's experiencing a rude awakening but I'm not holding my breath.

>>89701597
>This narrative that it's all just a bunch of white people finally getting revenge on identity politics is ridiculous and feels highly constructed.

Yeah, its still the same country that elected a black man with a muslim name in a landslide. Those same people didn't all suddenly join the KKK. Unfortunately this "racist revenge" narrative is being pushed both by the alt-right, who desperately want to believe the average American actually agrees with them, and the Democratic establishment, who don't want to admit they fucked up hard and would rather blame the voters.

>>89701646
You're probably right. I'm just saying that Hillary's moralist slant didn't lend itself to debating policy very well. The one thing she should've actually debated trump on.

And as its been pointed out, these trump adherents aren't getting the guy they bargained for.

>>89701661
I think he seriously equated being president of the US as being CEO of a company.

Just be glad that he's poisoning the well for future celebrity presidents.

>>89701661
Trump and his stupid fucking supporters judging by their reaction to this whole thing clearly thought that being the president meant being a king. The man didn't even bother learning a single thing about global politics before becoming the president. I have no idea how he thought this would work out.

>>89701663
Its less "racist revenge" and more "I keep hearing about the problems all these other groups are facing, but nobody is talking about the fact that city that was bustling when I was growing up is now faced with crippling poverty".

You have to be tone death to think anybody was seriously pushing the whole "America is suddenly super racist again" narrative.

Its clearly "What? just because I'm not brown my problems don't matter?"

>>89701678
They didn't tell him you can't fire people for not liking you when you're the president. In fact, it's more often the other way around.

I really hope America realizes someone being famous and charismatic doesn't mean you should vote for them.

Reaganomics? The Governator? PRESIDENT TRUMP?

>>89701693
I don't really get this whole politics thing, but I feel like it was more intended as some kind of publicity stunt, or even as some kind of threat.

>>89701693
But like, he ran over a hundred companies and made them all successes! Surely that gave him the knowledge and experience for a job that's not even tangentially relevant to running a business.

>>89701702
>The Governator?
He'd unironically be better than trump though.

>>89701693
Right now he is SHOCKED that a federal judge has blocked his unilateral muslim ban.

It's called checks-and-balances, it's the point of the whole system. So that no one person wields all the power and can make any laws they want. Literally grade school civics.

He intimates he loves democracy but is pissed off he can't just do anything he wants.

>>89701625
Clinton's campaign didn't run on identity politics. It barely ran on any politics, because her politics are pro-establishment, pro-war, pro-Wall Street and she didn't want to bring it up too much. Her campaign ran on "look how awful this other guy is", which a lot of time meant criticising the things HE said about women and minorities. Thing is, the American public were really hurting and didn't give a fuck about who said what about who; they just wanted something to change, and Hillary, by presenting them with absolutely nothing but "I'm the less obnoxious choice", was clearly not the answer.

I do agree that people on the left as well as the right are rightly getting sick of identity politics; not the individuals or groups whose identities are caught up in these discussions, but the politicians who keep exploiting them as a political tool to distract from the real problems.

>>89701693
I'm not american, but from an outside perspective, this is exactly the impression I'm getting of him.

Basically a living caricature of a buffoon getting in power.

>>89701701
It's "tone deaf", and that's the narrative that's been pushed by elements of the right and the establishment "left". You're right that it's not what's actually happening; the reality is pretty much as you described. Narrative and reality are two different things, bucko.

Just look at what they did to JonTron for being wary of all the hysterics and rioting, almost turning many of his old friends against him in the process

>>89701713
Trump would have been much happier losing, I think. He wouldn't have known it, his ego would have been too bruised by the defeat

But because he won, he has to endure at least 4 years of hard work, mandatory meetings understanding complex global issues, all while being harangued by the public. It comes with the job.

From here to eternity, people are going to hate and criticize him wherever he goes, whatever he does. Not that he doesn't deserve it. Be careful what you wish for and all that.

>>89701746
Absolutely this. Sure, acknowledge identities that differ from yours and embrace them but there are bigger problems in the world than that. Middle America is dying.

>>89701818
Wait, what were they doing to him before?

>>89701791
Bullshit. Jon has gone from being part of that GG horseshit and occasionally spouting some stupid shit to happily associating with radicals and spouting /pol/ bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's a nazi or whatever, but he is a massive idiot.

>>89701743
I wasn't personally pleased with his roadblocking of gay marriage in CA but he seems a lot more measured than Trump. But then again, isn't anybody?

Now he's going to be clawed at publicly for the rest of his life.

>>89701744
He's pissed that the judge blocked it despite there being a doctrine that allows him to do it.

The point is he's saying the judge did it on a non-checks and balances basis, not that the judge did it period.

Really? I mostly hear people making fun of him.

I'm not American but I hear people hate him for willfully ignoring the AIDS crisis and setting in motion the deregulation that culminated in the economic crisis of 08.

GG was just an excuse to go off on the SJWs yet again and all you did was give a bunch of free publicity to another Anita figure yet again.

>>89701981
Uh, no. I'm saying that this election has woken people up to bullshit on both sides.

Gamer Gate doesn't need vindication. Gaming media and indie developers are both corrupt. there isn't changing that. You not adressing that part of the post doesn't change that.

>>89702000
Gaming has struggled to be taken seriously as a medium since its inception. People like Anita demonizing gamers, and the media being so openly corrupt undermines that.

Think of it like the comics code. A ridiculous unfair standard curtailing creativity in an entire medium, thats what SJWs have become for gaming over the last several years. Then imagine if the head of the comics code authority was fucking the new york times editor to get them to plug their shitty comic.

It's an sheltered people use because they can't understand that the working class exists. Trump won because he kept yelling about how he was gonna get jobs back and how he was gonna make the economy the greatest bestest like you wouldn't even believe folks.

Bernie did much better in polls against Trump than Hilary did for the same reason, because yelling about how all those rich assholes have all the money is appealing to the struggling working class.

You are still talking about the original sex scandal that started it all, right? That's not even how the story goes. She fucked a bunch of people in her social circle, one of which happened to be a guy who wrote an article on her already released free game. Call her a cheating hypocrite sure, but the timetables don't even match up for the fucked for publicity angle. She didn't even need a publisher.

That has more to do with vast social mechanisms than conglomerated individual sensibility, in my view. There are so many different changing factors like standardisation of education, literacy, growth of mass media, decline of religion and the decreasing faith in America's civilisational raison d'être and so on and so on. Although you might just say this is another way of framing the same thing you're saying. Individuals are not formed as well as they have been in the past. It depends on the interplay between external circumstances and individual response, I suppose.

I've become neutral to the general forces of history. A blanket disdain for all radical politics - apparently by virtue of being outside the status quo - in a declining political system seems naive to me. Whether you wish to conserve the current system or supersede it, your worldview is going to have its biases and blind spots.

We must enter into an age of Caesarism.

>Then imagine if the head of the comics code authority was fucking the new york times editor to get them to plug their shitty comic.

Not the same thing. Games "journalism" is not respected in any way whatsoever.

>>89702219
Games journalism also started as fucking advertisements in magazines.

>>89702222
I miss Tips and Tricks. And Nintendo Power. And, well, you get the idea.

>>89702222

They were better journalists when they were just advertisements anyways. At least I knew I only bought the magazine for the demo disc that came with it. Then I'd make up my own damn mind.

>>89702222

Yeah, not many people who play games take it seriously. For most people it's just news about when a game is gonna come out or something, the average person doesn't care about the "i saw a boob and this is literally sexist" articles.

>>89702262

I do. I need to know exactly what games showed the boob. For investigative purposes of course.

I liked it.

>>89702262
And it's really hilarious that anon thinks those shit articles have any power to harm the industry when all of those websites have been dying since before any of this stupid drama happened.

I stand by making fun of caring about gaming journalism. Thought I'd double down and go after games in general but that's not fair.

Why don't you enjoy your vidya games and not worry about gaming journalism which by name alone is a joke?

I watch cartoons because I like them, I don't give a fuck was animation journals say. Cartoonbrew is a cesspool.

So tired of people trying to make this gamergate shit into some big controversy when it's actually the most meaningless non even in the history of shitty hashatgs.

Actual journalists are under attack by the POTUS and y'all are upset some chick slept with a 'gaming journalist'.

>>89702191
He wrote an article about her game that was already released for free?

Anyone upset by gamergate should be embarrassed.

>>89702214
Bernie has always lived modestly, even if he does have more than one home. Trump is running the country from his all-gold penthouse from one his many hotels with his name on it.

>>89702345

No. She made it free after the whole controversy started up but initially you had to pay to play it. To my knowledge he wrote two articles on it but claimed he had done both before having sexual relations with her. The whole thing was mostly just an excuse to vent rage at Kotaku for being such a shit publication but it went off the rails because some dumb autists were more angry at some random dumb slut than they were at the sad excuse for a rag that actually published it.

>>89700068
Wow, reading through this is fucking depressing as the movie easily could have had the same heart and soul as classic Simpsons episodes, and the unused jokes sound really good.

>>89701054
To be fair, this was when Green Day were past the time when they were culturally relevant. I mean, the movie came out in 2007, whereas Green Day became culturally obsolete in about 2005ish.

Hell, when it came out, it was less "Oh my god, they got Green Day to be in this!" more "Oh my, Green Day, they were a thing."

>>89702026
SJW's are in no way the same thing as the comics code authority. The CCA was literally a set of standards placed on all comics and enforced with severe penalties. SJWs are just people complaining on social media sites.

And the New York Times is in no way comparable to whatever pissant website or column the guy who allegedly wrote a good review for a chick he fucked wrote for.

The fact that you would even make this absurd comparison shows you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

It was a huge nepotistic clusterfuck but it's been well known thats how games journalism was for years. I wish people had watched g4's feedback back when g4 was still a thing that some people actually watched. I remember Blair Herter basically admitting his favorite part of the job was getting bribed by publishers and in the very next sentence trying to claim he had objectivity. The GGer's just chose the worst possible hill to die on. There were plenty of hills well before and after that one that didn't have SJW's with multicolored hair that would have been more productive targets but i guess they were still too salty over Anita to actually do anything productive.

You meant one of the most neoliberal establishment corrupt flip floppy career politicians

Trump is a protest vote by the country. They said "vote for more of our bullshit or else Trump" and we said fuck it. After 40 years of growing income inequality everyones on the same page in one specific way, Fuck Politicians.

Trump is a symptom of a failed system. When you have the richest country have as many poor and jobless as we do, people lose faith in the system and vote agaisnt it.

This trend will continue until we break it or fix it or both, but there is no going back and its not "politics" any more for those sick of politics. Its graduated into policy, and apathy will eventually fuck up your personal lives.

>>89703502

By whites for whites.

Trump could have easily tailored his message to appeal to the ENTIRE working-class.

>>89703643
Oh, don't be like those sore losers from today's Super Bowl. Seriously, apparently THEIR message is that if you like the Patriots you are a racist, xenophobic misogynist. And it's less tailored than it is flung from the rear.

-Springfield has always been more interesting than the Simpsons themselves. Once they left it turned to crap. Also Homer was too much of an asshole.

As terrible as executives can be, their estimate for the average joe's intelligence is pretty spot on. It's hard to refute when time and again people can't seem to grasp the most basic plots and setups; it's why focus groups ask for stuff to be dumbed down in the first place.

Much of the initial backlash against her was from her endlessly shilling the Kickstarter on /v/ and purposely kicking the hornet's nest. Did the same thing when Gamergate was getting started by fabricating that Utah bomb threat letter. As did Wu, she made a meme generator template and cried foul when people were using it against her and calling her out for using some stock image of a screeching autistic asian child as the advice animal.

Your idea of protesting a broken system is to break it even further by electing someone who will literally get everyone killed and run the country straight into the ground?

>>89701693
More proof that neither the right nor the left like democracy anymore. Both sides crave for an emperor or empress that rules unchallenged and crush their enemies under his or her heel.

That's the problem. Trump is just a symptom, not the cause.
