Simpsons Final Title Page The Simpsons "Rainier Wolfcastle is Dead" by Vince Faiola Vince Faiola 1235 West Town and Country Road Apt. 3103 Orange, CA 92868 ACT ONE FADE IN: INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - TV ROOM - EVENING Homer sits on the couch with Lisa, Bart and Maggie as they watch TV. MARGE (O.S.) Homer! Time for dinner. I made made your favorite. HOMER (suspiciously) My favorite? How do you know my favorite? Whose been talking? (Homer looks at Bart) Boy? Marge enters with a plate of pork chops covered in gravy. HOMER (CONT’D) Mmmmmmm.....pork chops and gravy. My favorite. MARGE Take it to the dining room, this family doesn’t eat dinner in front of the TV. Homer grabs the plate. HOMER No, we don’t eat in front of the TV. We eat before it. Homer genuflects in front of the TV, almost chanting. HOMER (CONT’D) We give thanks to you oh God of many great channels and... (angry and dismissive) Fox. ANGLE ON TV - MCBAIN’S HOUSE - NIGHT TV ANNOUNCER (O.S) And now back to McBain 4: Fatal Discharge. 2. BART (O.S.) Awesome. Mcbain kills 17 commandoes with a pitch fork and a tractor in this one! McBain hunts and pecks an e-mail with two fingers. MCBAIN I know now what it is to have loved and to have lost. Meet me at the zoo in three hours. McBain hits send. A cat meows. He draws his gun and points in suspense. MCBAIN (CONT’D) Oh, Mr. Whiskers. It only is you. EXT. MCBAIN’S HOUSE - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS The house blows up. An indestructible toilet flies through the air and lands on a car. Out comes the hulking figure of McBain. His shirt aflame, he rips it off. Calls for his cat. MCBAIN Mr. Whiskers? Mr Whiskers? MR. WHISKERS! No response. MCBAIN (CONT’D) This time it be personal! McBain on his hands and knees shouting to the heavens. The toilet flushes. INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - TV ROOM - CONTINUOUS The Simpsons are still gathered around the TV. HOMER That could be our house! LISA (sarcastic) Oh, joy to bask in the glory of a steroid-driven pop culture icon! 3. HOMER (earnestly) A dead end job. Two kids. (a pause as Maggie sucks on her pacifier) Even worse...three kids. I need this. I’m hanging on by some sort of thread-like rope. Homer pauses to think. HOMER THOUGHT BUBBLE: Homer and McBain are decked out in Rambo gear. Homer rips off his shirt to reveal a 6-pack and a steroid-fueled hunk of man. McBain sits on the ground as Flander’s house is on fire. Ninjas abound. MCBAIN Go on. Leave me. Homer lifts McBain up over his shoulder and begins to kick ninjas left and right. HOMER No man gets left behind on my watch! FLANDERS (O.S.) A little help neigborino! Reveal: landers on the ground, bandaged and wounded. HOMER No time. Besides I’m sure your GOD will be down to help any moment now. Homer steps on Flanders... INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - TV ROOM - CONTINUOUS Drool falls from Homer’s mouth. MARGE Homer. Homer, you’re drooling again. BART I’ve got it. 4. Bart removes the plate of food from Homer’s lap. He immediately snaps to. LISA I don’t understand why you’d even want to win this stupid contest. It’s just some lame publicity stunt. BART (he puts his arm around Lisa) Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. Let me explain something about how the real world works. If they make the next McBain movie here, then we’re as good as famous and we’ll live like kings. Dirty stinking rich kings who can do whatever they want. (rubs hands together) Whenever they want. On the TV Kent Brockman talks and the family watches. KENT BROCKMAN As of today not one of the killer monkeys has called home. Now in lighter news, we turn to the live selection of one of Springfield’s very own to appear in McBain 5: You Only Die Thrice. HOMER Boy, let this be a lesson in hard work and dedication. With all the time and effort we put into MY application, we can’t lose. INT. HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION OFFICE - DAY - FLASHBACK Wolfcastle sits with his agent and the producer. They select the winning application. A heart-shaped card that looks as if it was drawn by a 2 year old stands out. It reads: Homer and McBain Friends Four Never. (Mispellings on purpose). PRODUCER It’ll be great, baby! We’re helping out the mentally challenged. You can’t buy pub like that! 5. RAINIER WOLFCASTLE I like mental challenges. Reveal: Wolfcastle reads from The Complete Idiots Guide to Complete Idiot’s Books. INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - TV ROOM - CONTINUOUS The Simpson home appears on the TV. Wolfcastle at the door. KENT BROCKMAN Looks like Wolfcastle himself is about to surprise one lucky family. The doorbell RINGS. HOMER Why don’t they just get on with it already! The Doorbell RINGS again. Lisa recognizes the Simpson home on TV and gets up. HOMER (CONT’D) That’s a good girl. Make the bad people go away. Unless it’s a Girl Scout. In that case I want 14 boxes. Lisa leaves the room and heads to... INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - FOYER - CONTINUOUS She opens the door. Camera lights flash. RAINIER WOLFCASTLE Hello little red-dressed girl. You must be (looks at a card)...Homer? Lisa rolls her eyes andallows the crowd to follow her to... INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - TV ROOM - CONTINUOUS The Simpsons now appear in their own TV screen. HOMER (oblivious) Why can’t we ever win anything? New life lesson boy all life ever does is kick you when your down. (MORE) 6. HOMER (CONT'D) Then it kicks dirt on you when your down. Learn to like dirt. A lot. Homer breaks down and cries. Bart taps his father. BART Uh, big guy. Homer looks up and sees Wolfcastle. HOMER Aahhhhh! Immediately Homer breaks out into a Three Stooges circle walk on the ground. RAINIER WOLFCASTLE Is he the mental one? INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - KITCHEN - MORNING Homer, Maggie, Lisa and Bart sit at the kitchen table. Homer wears DARK sunglasses while Marge dishes out pancakes. HOMER Marge, baby, what’s this? You know I can’t carb load on a shooting day! I’ll have what he’s having. Homer points to Wolfcastle as he breaks six eggs directly into his mouth. The seventh egg cracks open and a bird flies out. Wolfcastle snatches it and swallows it whole. WOLFCASTLE Protein good. MOE (O.S.) Homer’s right. He’s too important to be all getting fat. He’s gotta have energy. Pizzazz. Reveal: The Simpson kitchen filled with all of Springfield. MOE (CONT'D) That...whatcha call it...homecooked meal...it just won’t cut it anymore. Wolfcastle finishes off a jug of milk and tosses it to the ground. Ralph Wiggum picks it up. RALPH It tastes like air! 7. Comic Book guy rips the jug from Ralph. COMIC BOOK GUY E-Bay. Here I come. RALPH (begins to cry) I want air! MARGE Stop it! All of you! Out of my house! MOE (ushering them out) You heard the lady. Everybody out. Let’s go. Homer needs his rest. Flashbulbs go off as people exit. Moe remains. Marge points. HOMER He’s my agent, Marge. My agent! BART You have an agent? Cool. MOE About that...I was thinking maybe like a 50 percent cut? HOMER Almost half. Huhhhh? How about 60 percent? BART Ah, Homer? HOMER (excitedly) Final offer! MOE Deal! HOMER MOE Sucker. Sucker. INT. SIMPSON HOUSE - FAMILY ROOM - MORNING Bart sits with Homer, Wolfcastle and Moe by the phone. 8. MOE Just tell ‘em it’s the Feline Aids. I saw something on the tube about that. Homer picks up the phone and dials. INT. SPRINGFIELD POWER PLANT - BURNS’ OFFICE - DAY Intercut phone conversation as needed. MR. BURNS Hello? HOMER (in fake high-pitched voice) Mr. Burns...this is...Homer Simpson. I mean...I mean Homer Simpson’s doctor. MR. BURNS Homer who? HOMER (in fake high-pitched voice) Simpson. Homer Simpson? MR. BURNS Simpson. Doesn’t ring a bell. Is he dead? HOMER (interrupting) Why...yes. Yes he is. Don’t expect him in for two weeks. (Homer hangs up the phone) Hehehehe. I think he bought it. INT. SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY - LISA’S CLASS Lisa sits in class and grumbles to herself. LISA (to self) I can’t believe my stupid brother gets to stay home from school. This is ridiculous. All for some stupid movie. 9. MARTIN I couldn’t help but to overhear your conundrum. It seems as if you are suffering from a serious case of envy. LISA (glaring) Envy? Envy? What, exactly, is there to be envious of? SHERRI AND TERRI Rainier Wolfcastle is so dreamy... LISA It’s a stupid action movie! And this whole stupid town is acting like it’s going to solve world hunger! I’d rather be here in school where I can learn, thank you! Reveal Classroom: Ralph at the front.

  • Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in the Simpsons
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD Film Studies in the University of Hull by Jemma Diane Gilboy, BFA, BA (Hons) (University of Regina), MScRes (University of Edinburgh) April 2016 Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons by Jemma D. Gilboy University of Hull 201108684 Abstract (Thesis Summary) The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience.

  • The Fifth Simpsons Packet.Pdf
    Ground Zero; About Me; Model U.N.; International Relations; Web Pages; Internet Links The following packet was written by Hayden Hurst. Please direct any comments to [email protected]. The Fifth Simpsons Packet Toss-Ups 1. The Simpsons' first Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 1997 came for "We Put The Spring In Springfield". It's second came one year later, with a song that involved no traditional Simpsons cast members. It is, however, a relatively elaborate number - moving from Los Angeles to elsewhere in California - all while never leaving New York. Oh, and it also involves strapping down Liza Minelli. For ten points, name this song, a key feature of the Broadway play "Kickin' It". ANSWER: You're _CHECKING IN_ (accept ''I'm Checking In") (accept "We Put The Spring In Springfield" before it's said) 2. Its adjunct gets its name from Chief Starving Bear, and it's located on Bid Snake Lake and below Mount Avalanche. It was originally run by Mr. Black - afterwards, it was worse than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq put together. For ten points, name this Krustiest place on Earth. ANSWER: _KAMP KRUSTY_ 3. The answer is sort of a tie. In any case, it does not involve running around a beer truck or marrying Marge. It may involve a Krustyburger, an hour-long episode of Mama's family, and Lisa's birth. However, it's probably involves skipping church, winning a radio contest, making moon waffles, and finding a penny. For ten points, what am I talking about? ANSWER: _BEST DAY OF HOMER'S LIFE_ (accept equivalents) 4.

Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

  • Simpsons and The
    "The Simpsons" and the Law: Revealing Truth and Justice to the Masses By Kevin K. Ho* I. INTRODUCTION In Law, Lawyers, and Popular Culture, Lawrence Friedman argues that legal culture and popular culture share a symbiotic relationship, with popular culture transmitting distorted information about the law to a generally ignorant public.' Friedman notes that relatively few members of the general public read casebooks, statutes, or administrative rules, unless they themselves need access to the legal system. 2 He theorizes that, as legal culture becomes more Byzantine and removed from the mainstream, popular culture will remain the main source of legal information for the general public. Unfortunately, it appears likely that members of the public will be even more reluctant to access the legal system after they have been exposed to the negative depictions of both the law and the legal actors often seen in the contemporary media. Furthermore, when this reluctance is considered in light of the fact that entertainment value is paramount in popular media, the prospects for an actual increase in the * J.D.
