Planet Simpson
Planet Simpson
is the first book to bring in-depth analysis to that most important pop-cultural institution of the last decade-Fox TV's The Simpsons-and use the show as a microcosm of the Western culture it has hilariously (and mercilessly) reflected and influenced. In an age of unprecedented transformation, The Simpsons alone has had the depth, intelligence, scope, and, most importantly, humor to chart the links between popular culture and the world we live in.
Planet Simpson
is broken down into scathingly funny chapters analyzing each major character's relationship to different facets of the American character: Homer Simpson, the ultimate everyman of the American century; Lisa Simpson, the voice of the show's social conscience; Bart Simpson, punk icon; Marge Simpson, maternal voice of moral authority and anchor of Simpsons family values; C. Montgomery Burns, unchecked capitalism personified...and every bit character on down from Barney to Smithers to Krusty the Clown, coupled with intelligent, friendly, and entertaining analysis of the show's greater themes. Going well beyond a critical discussion of a single television program,
Planet Simpson
will use The Simpsons as a window on the culture at large to deliver first-hand reportage of the Internet boom, the alternative-rock explosion, the triumph of irony, the cultural origins of anti-globalization, and other defining events and trends of our accelerated, confounding era.
Pinata: Survival Island (DVD)
They were just some college co-eds who wanted to collect as much underwear as possible. Now they'reat the mercy of a monstrous beast who stalks them as prey. The students originally arrive for an island adventure in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. The festivities take an evil turn when, during an underwear hunt, one pair of co-eds, handcuffed together in the spirit of team, smash a pinata and unleash the evil spirits contained within. Mirroring a popular television show of the day, the youthful brigade now must learn how to survive on the island or be summarily dismissed, only the ejections on this island are slightly more permanent and aren't subject to a vote. Jaime Pressly (NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) and Nicholas Brendon (TV's BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) are among the partygoers in peril.
