Harry Potter Excitement and the Simpsons MJ Style
I really enjoyed the latest Simpsons episode with Michael Jackson, AKA John Jay Smith...I think. Still not sure it was really him, but I love that song "Lisa It's Your Birthday." I'll do a recap tonight or tomorrow.
In other news, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is out in couple days. I'm so excited. There are a lot of events going on in New York City that I'm going to be attending after work. I can't wait. If you can't wait just look at the counter I added below. It won't be long before it's out.

The Simpsons to Commemorate the King of Pop
I'm back. The Simpsons are making news again and this time it has to do with Michael Jackson. EW is reporting that this Sunday, Fox will air the 1991 episode “Stark Raving Dad,” the episode where Homer meets a mental patient who claims to be Michael Jackson. According to the source, Michael Jackson actually voiced the character (this was news to me). I thinking this a fitting/Simpsonized tribute to the King of Pop.
I am soo excited to write the recap for that episode especially with MJ being in the news all day everyday. I will miss his presence, but his music will live on.
Okay, the episode airs this Sunday at 8pm.
...In other news Big Brother 11 begins next week! So EXCITED!!

No Recap for this Sunday's episode
First I want to say RIP to Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy
May.
Definitely a tough week for Hollywood.
In other news, no Simpsons recap for this Sunday's episode. I will be watching the BET awards, so if you like the Hip Hop, R&B, or music in general I suggest you watch it. I heard they are going to honor MJ, so all you MJ fans may want to tune in.
I would promise a recap during the week, but I start my summer job this week and so I might be tired to go online at all.

"No Loan Again, Naturally" Recap
Well like I said in the previous post this episode was difficult to keep track of because I had to think of a way to recap and not make the post super long. I really don't like looking at all those words when I post it, but here I go. First I will start with the episode description on IO:
"When Homer and Marge's adjustable rate mortgage skyrockets, they have to put their house up for sale."
Couch Gag: the couch dies of wear and tear and is buried. They go to find a new couch from the ranch. Homer attempts to ride one and ends up hurt. They take home the cow spotted couch and Homer sits on it with a full body cast :)
And on to the recap...
Well the episode starts with Homer preparing for his annual Mardi Gras Party. Bart gets the Zydeco music while Grandpa lays in a coffin as the funeral procession plays and joins in by playing a trumpet. Mayor Quimby opens the party and Homer rides around in a huge dragon float and throws frisbees. One of which hits Flanders. Marge forces Homer to invite Flanders, which he does with his head through the fence. As he talks to Flanders through a fence people stick their heads through to vomit on the lawn and even Moe and Nelson's mom put their head through to make out. Which is funny because she thinks that he is a kind talking dog. All in all Flanders decides to join the party and in the end ruins it with a 12AM announcement of Ash Wednesday.
As the guests leave Lenny asks Homer how is he able to afford the party and Homer explains that he uses the home equity and the house ends up paying for it. I don't know much about home mortgage rates and all that stuff, but when Lenny said he didn't think that was how it worked, I could't agree more. Soon Marge gets a letter from the bank stating that their loan has been readjusted and they go to see their lender. Who is their lender you might ask? None other than Gil. I personally would prefer the blonde working women with the short hair.
So yeah they go to see Gil and he promises to help them because America takes care of their middle class....umm sure. So of course, with all the fees they find that they can't afford their new monthly payment, eventually their home is foreclosed, and put up for auction. Marge feels horrible and Gil encourages her to learn to make soup form rocks and grass and use the sun and hobo fires to cook it LoL. Gil obviously has experience in that area. So Marge being the strong one cries while Homer attempts to hang himself from a tree that thankfully falls over from his weight.
At the aunction, Mr. Burns tries to buy the house for his shoes, but Flanders outbids him and agrees to rent the home to the Simpsons. They are all so greatful that they turn a sign that says "Screw You, Ned!" to "Bless You, Ned!" But Flanders is not ready for the type of tenants that the Simpsons are. They force him to make dozens of repairs and when he refuses to do one they complain that he only comes to see them when the rent check is late...event though it was late. They even call the news station in a "Help Me Harry" style to complain about the kind of Landlord he is and characterize him as "Evil Ned" and as the "Worst Person Who Ever Lived." Umm didn't he just save them from homelessness?
Anyway, Flanders nails a notice to vacate on the Simpson's door. As they wonder what it is, Lisa guesses that maybe the document is theses to which Homer replies "ill thats gross" LoL I loved that joke...you know...because theses sound like feces...lol good stuff. So, the Simpsons search for a loophole and discover by moving granpa they can't get evicted because he is a senior citizen. Eventually, they decide to leave him at home to get ice cream, but they find that their stuff is out on the street. It turns out that Flanders moved Grandpa to his house.
The Simpsons are forced to go to a homeless shelter which is pretty sad, but hey they were jerks. But Flanders being the Christian he is allows them to move back in by denying a Flanders like family who decide to sue Flanders because he took back the offer. Flanders agreed that they should and would be a great way to keep in touch...Flanders is weird. So yeah the Simpsons moved back and the neighbors all decide it's time to move out. Homer reacts by saying...I really hate this neighborhood.
Overall, it was an okay episode. I didn't really like it but it had some funny moments and that heartbreaking scene in the homeless shelter. I think that by returing to those more serious moments it can make the Simpsons more like it used to be. But thats just my opinion. I hope you enjoyed the episode, too.

Simpsons Recap and Pop Culture News on Alice in Wonderland Pics Coming Soon
Hey last nights episode of the Simpsons was a bit complicated so my recap/review will be short because I can't include all the details so I won't. That will be up tomorrow.
In PoP Culture news, I am going to do a small post on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland because the pics are terrifyingly inspiring :)
I'll get it posted later, so come back soon.
Until tomorrow!
Namaste
In PoP Culture news, I am going to do a small post on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland because the pics are terrifyingly inspiring :)
I'll get it posted later, so come back soon.
Update: Here is the pic!
Tell me that doesn't make you want to see this movie. When a movie stars Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp you know it's going to be haunting. Lets not forget the taste of Tim Burton's style. When they cast Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter I knew she would be dark and sadistic like her character. Even Anne Hathaway looks enchantingly eerie. You can tell that this movie is going to be rich with color and fun and a bit spooky. Alan Rickman is going to play the voice of the Caterpillar so that makes two Harry Potter stars in the movie. Oh well, we'll have to wait til 2010.
Well tomorrow I might see a Transformers Revenge of the Fallen in IMAX screening, so I might have a review of that tomorrow along with my Simpsons Recap if I can get around to it. Are you excited for the Transformers movie to come out? I am; especially if I could go for free.Until tomorrow!
Namaste
