Talking Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XV With Merritt K
Added 2025-11-12 05:00:12 +0000 UTC"Homer, please; don't tempt the gods! I mean GOD—there's one god! Only one. Well, sometimes there's three..." - Ned Flanders
Broadcast season 16 begins with three spooky tales that probably should have aired less than a week after Halloween. Ned Flanders receives deadly premonitions, Lisa becomes a Victorian-era detective, and the entire family takes a fantastic voyage into the withered body of Mr. Burns. All this, and two uses of the Perfect Strangers theme? Let the commencement begin-ulate!

Hearing Bob talk about Musée Mécanique reminded me of a very similar place outside of Detroit called Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. It's in the process of moving, but once they re-open it's a must hit. They too have that mechanical device that shows someone being hanged. So odd.

(See: V for Vendetta and Watchmen) Not because it was "a bad movie," but because two writers sued Warner Bros claiming that the studio stole the idea from a script they had submitted, and they accused DC comics of hiring Moore to create the comic to cover their tracks. Warner Bros ultimately settled, which upset Moore who said he wasn't given a chance to exonerate himself. He wanted nothing to do with film adaptations after that experience.
