Description
Homer sighed. "What ever happened to 'the customer is always right?'" I pulled up a poster from a 1990's movie that I hadn't seen in a long time, and this came together very quickly www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD5ofr… Without giving away any spoilers, the film is actually better than the trailer, and has more depth to the story. I just saw the image of the poster and told myself, "Yeah - I gotta do this." i think it might make a good Simpsons film.Related content

I love the movie Falling down as a little kid and even now. I wonder how this version of Homer would get along with Frank Grimes

It kind of hits home personally for me, as I've had schizophrenia in my family. "Beautiful Mind" impacted me the same way.

Gotcha!
I never saw beautiful mind, I know today me and my Grandfather are going to watch Naked Gun. I never saw any of them before. I still need to watch Dracula Dead and Loving it As well.

Oh, you have to see that movie. The real life mathematician that it was based on was tragically killed with his wife in a taxi cab accident - the guy was the modern equivalent of Einstein, but he suffered terribly with schizophrenia. Great movie with a good cast.

Gotcha, Beautiful Mind will be on my list!

And it also stars that mostly awesome Klingon Christopher Plummer.

"HEY YOU FORGOT THE BRIEFCASE!"
Although there's no way Wiggum would piece together the events to meet him in the end.

If this was a Simpson movie, Wiggum wouldn't figure it out by doing police work, but by sheer luck and coincidence.
I see Wiggum failing to piece it all together. By mere chance, he drives by the pier and decides to buy some donoughts. There he runs into Homer, who had forced Marge and Maggie to go with him.

::laughs:: True - I think Bob Duval did a little better job at that. I'm wonderfully surprised at how many people have seen this movie.

I've been a big fan of Bob for many years.

Even though the film may have been a bomb in some circles, I thought his performance as Dr Weir in the Sixth Day was worthy (more than one expects from someone in an Arnie flick).

I liked the movie, and liked his performance. I never go by the success of the film; "Joe vs. The Volcano" still has one of the best Tom Hanks scenes ever, the quitting scene at the beginning. As you know, Bob Duvall was also in the only color episode of "The Twilight Zone."

Oh I didn't think many people did see it. I liked it too, but then again I'm a sucker for an Arnie "Everything gets shot at" film.
Actually I didn't know that, so hey you learn something new everyday

Oh, I love it when you see those actors in earlier shows. I once saw Gina Davis in a "Knightrider" episode in 1983. The old detective show "Cannon" was famous for having nobody actors who became very famous later.

Yeah it's always a "Hey I know that guy/girl" moment. Same with the late Jerry Orbach appearing as a mob boss in the film "F/X" and a few Murder She Wrote episodes. I always expect him to say a trademark Law & Order one-liner.

Well, I was pretty stunned when I first saw Yoda, and quickly realized that he was voiced by Frank Oz. I almost expected him to wiggle his ears like Fozzy the Bear on the Muppet Show.

One of my favorite Michael Douglas movies, which also include The Game, Black Rain and even Ant-Man.
Really like the detail in this piece with the "El Barto" and "Bender" graffiti.

Oh, I'm a huge fan of "Black Rain" - been one since it was first out in the theaters. The scenes in the police headquarters were actually filmed in the police headquarters in Osaka.

I recall seeing the same advertisement for this film. And now, having seen the trailer, I believe I shall purchase a DVD copy of that film. And yes, I can imagine Homer Simpson losing his patience with his fellow man and becoming a vigilante. Well done pic, plus some very clever graffiti.

I think you'll like it - it's about more than just someone losing their temper and going on rampage.

That's good to know. I like a film with a deeper plot, not just violence.

It's a Joel Schumacher film, and I'm not a huge fan of him as he botched up the Batman films, but this film is pretty good.

Having seen the preview trailer in your link, I'm inclined to agree with you. As for the Batman films, I'll stick with the original first two.

I really love what Tim Burton did with the Batman franchise because he seemed to keep a comic book like quality to them. His sets of Gotham City in that first film were amazing - they reminded me a bunch of Philadelphia.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True enough. Jack Nicholson's Joker was delightfully manic while Heath Ledger's Joker was just a psychotic killer. And the Gotham City Tim Burton filmed had a rough, gritty, big city look as opposed to the neon-lighted super city that the later Schumacher Batman films had. And while Tim Burton's Penguin and Catwoman were derided as a gross, disgusting midget and a dominatrix, I prefer them as true Batman villains rather than a borderline nutcase like Jim Carrey who played the Riddler like a giggling, immature buffoon instead of the focused, intense, cerebral bad guy in the comics.

All I can say is that when I was first in downtown Philly, my mind went straight back to that first Batman Gotham set...old, rusty statues, trash in the streets. The set, BTW, was the largest of its kind since "Anthony and Cleopatra" in 1963 - it comprised of a whole avenue.

Really? And I thought Holly-weird no longer built large-scale outdoor sets. Of course, if they really wanted to film a rundown, trash-littered city, they should've used 5th Street in downtown Los Angeles.

Philly, Harrisburg, or even our own Gary would get mine. Gary even rated a joke on Futurama.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, yes. I seem to recall that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gary is just a place that we go past on the way to Chicago; there's nothing to stop for. As far as Harrisburg goes, you could imagine what Three Mile Island does to your property values. I've driven right by that abomination - it sits right at the edge of town.

I seem to have forgotten about Three Mile Island as well. I'm surprised the old nuclear reactor is still there. I thought everything there was torn down years ago.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no - it's very much in operation. As you drive up toward town from the south, you go over a gentle rise and there it is. I literally told my wife, "Remember Three Mile Island? There it is." She replied, "You didn't have to tell me."

I had no idea. Well, hopefully, the place has more safety features implemented to prevent any more "meltdowns."

That particular incident came after a series of happenings and mistakes were made; I think they actually operate those things differently because of TMI. The water cooled reactors we use are still much safer than the graphite reactor like Chernobyl - we wouldn't even use one of those things.

And with good reason. Of course, American technology will always outdo anything the Russians come up with.

That Chernobyl reactor was being revved up like a hotrod engine to see how much energy they could get out of it; it blew up like an engine pushed too hard. The main problem with that type of reactor was that the reactions could get out of hand, like a snowball rolling down a hill. Before they could stop it, the top was blown off of the top of the one reactor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And what's so sad about Chernobyl is that, 40 years later, the place is still highly radioactive. If you push any machine too hard a breakdown is inevitable. Too bad so many poor souls at Chernobyl had to die from burns and radiation-induced cancer before the Soviets learned their lesson. An almost identical nuclear accident occurred aboard a Soviet submarine resulting in the sinking of the sub and the death of all hands.

One of the saddest stories is that there is a nearby bridge close to the plant, that the locals have dubbed "The Bridge of Death." The people that stood on that bridge to watch the fire that night are all dead of radiation.

I'll cheerfully second your comment about the film.

Yeah...there's more to it than that weak trailer. Great cast as well.

"Do you have any idea how much money my country has given your country?"
"How much?"
"I don't know, but its gotta be a lot."
Really feels like a Homer Simpson line

::claps:: I know - there are so many good lines in there that would be good Homer lines. My personal favorite in the film is the one where the homeless guy pesters him. "You gotta help me man - I was in Vietnam." "You were in Vietnam? What were you - a drummer boy?"
