I used to watch the Simpsons regularly. When it's good, it's wonderful, but the great moments are coming with less regularity.
Here's a classic, when Bart prank-calls a bar in Sweden:
===========
BARTENDER: Ja? I shall inquire. Is there a Mr. Myfriendsaregay, first name Olav? Attention, everyone; Olav Myfriendsaregay!
Patrons laugh smugly
BARTENDER: Wait a minute...if I ever get a hold of you, I will thank you for showing me the futility of human endeavor.
===========
OK, maybe you had to be there. Or maybe you needed several years of film criticism courses in college, leading to a Bergman overdose.
Never mind. I think I'll have a bowl of strawberries and play chess with death, now.
Strawberries? In New Hampshire? This time of year???
ReplyDeleteWell, I was going to work in a joke about the Virgin Spring, another Bergman movie, but there also are no virgins in New Hampshire at this time of year either.
